I was talking to a Yemeni friend about Moon Pies and how they are sublime, and he told me he can’t eat them because they are not halal – that the marshmallow is made with gelatin that comes from pigs.
I thought gelatin was made from cow hooves?
Some is, some isn’t. MoonPies use porkskin, according to their website.
Oh. Alas.
Gawd. I haven’t had a Moon Pie for 30 years. Knowing they have pig skins, I want one even more!
Just eat a bag of chicharrones and get it out of your system.
They are not what they used to be.
What a time to be alive!
Not hooves. Skins and bones. It’s collagen, not keratin.
