      You do realise that there is a significant portion of meat that is sold by establishments that are halal but aren't labelled as such. Large portions of chicken are imported from Thailand and pretty much all New Zealand lamb is halal. In conclusion, there is a high likelihood that you consume halal meat if you buy from external establishments.

      Texas bbq incorporates all that is bbq, you cannot exclude items on the menu and still call it texas.
      I'd pick beef over pork too all day but... call it what is is, great smoked bbq.. not texas.

      You do realise that there is a significant portion of meat that is sold by establishments that are halal but aren't labelled as such. Large portions or chicken are imported from Thailand and pretty much all New Zealand lamb is halal. In conclusion, there is a high likelihood that you consume halal meat if you buy from external establishments.
