Am I correct in my understanding that Islam has food restrictions and such? if I am could you possibly link me to a place where it is explained?
 
:sl:

Wikipedia is quite clear about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_dietary_laws

Kosher food is allowed for us. I'm sure there are Kosher outlets near your home, right?

I would really suggest that you be frank with your parents about your conversion, they can't hate you for too long. In fact, your actions may make them revert as well, Inshallah. :)

:w:

Ok so no pork, and no blood (so no rare steak and such) and no animals that died because of natural causes and such?
 
Yup. And they must be slaughtered while they're alive. The only Christians who'm you can eat with are Ethiopian Orthodox Christians, they follow the same dietary laws we Muslims do. You might have to restrict yourself to eating veggies and sea food at your home if your mother's cooking.
 
are their any companies that put seals on products that let you know that they have been slaughtered correctly? kinda like the K on products which means the food is kosher? I am having burgers tonight!! aahhhhhh!! I will find something.

I"m not so sure about the rare steak. I think blood means the actual flowing blood which comes out of the animal. Like how some people make sausages out of it.

If you could see that label in any of shops and you can buying the product with the Halal labels.

A food label is stamped halal if the contents of the food confirm with Muslim dietary laws. A halal certification is analogous to a kosher certification, in that it is provided by a certified third party agency, but kosher food is not necessarily halal, and halal food is not always kosher. For Muslims who are concerned about obeying the Sharia, or Islamic law, a halal label acts as an assurance that the contents of the food are not haram, or forbidden.
 
If you can't buy Halal, buy Kosher. It's the alternative option. If neither, eat veggies or sea food.
 
really? it means the food was blessed by a Rabbi and is lawful to eat (for a jew) have you ever noticed on food items the K with a circle around it? or the U with a circle around it? that means the food is kosher.

Yeah I had nothing to eat last night :( (no Islamic aloud food in my house :( )

You need to find food that is halal. You can buy normal fish and eat though i think
 
No. Tuna and salmon is halal. You can make a sandwich . I love tuna
 
Yeah, eat any seafood...

Oh, btw, stay away from Mozerella cheese...my mother tells me they use pork fat in the west in it, although I don't know if it's true.
 
Since you're worried about your familys' reaction, perhaps now would be a good time to become vegetarian. They may suspect something if you only stop eating pork and are always looking at labels for gelatin. Going vegetarian or pescetarian (fish only) eliminates all the bad stuff without raising suspicion.
 
So when you eat vegetables and fish what you call that? Pescetarian?
