Mine hasn't. In spades with the steak.

I don't bother with fish. Pork has been tasteless
for decades  now except stuff like prosciutto, ham
and bacon etc and that certainly cant be halal.

But that doesn't mean that they do that all the time.

Yeah, got one of those, havent tried it yet tho.

I was going to roast it but havent found the right sized ceramic
dish that is long enough yet that isnt much too big for just one.

Yep.

Pretty sure we had sheeps kidneys when I was a kid, not ox.

I do eat those Fray Bentos tinned steak and kidney pies.

I find the Fray Bentos ones just a little too big but eat the whole thing 
anyway.

They don't use cameras, the checkouts keep track of what is sold which isnt 
stolen.
