Since the product contains no natural ingredients, it contains no pork. Just one more New Jersey Turnpike chemical additive. So, it's halal.

A weird article to choose to say this on, but it is the most recent so it's as good as any other. I found your blog by googling around fruitlessly for pdf's on the African Romance language, I can honestly say that this is a treasure trove, thank you so much.

It's like being felicitously trapped in the corner of a party by a knowledgable bore who seems to only want to go on about topics you find fascinating. Loved the piece about JB Kelly and the last generation of Empire.
