Great idea !
Please share more of such innovative ideas with us all.

I would just forget the ingredient while having one. After all, its just the cooking fat ;-)
Cookies back home made with lard are sooooooo much tastier then the crap cookies you get here. :(
drmana I will vomit, trust me.
WK, try one Oreo and yuckk will be gone for ever :-P
Biscuits with pig lard???? YUCKKKKK
Yep, Oreos are halal now.
For those idiots who don't understand how certain things can be halal; its about the way these certain things are made...ways which now the westerners are adapting too(because these ways have other plus points too).
I know someone from the Food Control Department and will give some hint on oreo to make everybody happy.
The best way to kill oreo's in a halal way is to run them over with a land cruiser while talking on your mobile...
lol now this thread makes me crave for Oreo... i hope there's some when I get home.. :P
LOL I know MJ. My Nan used to make cookies with lard...yuuuuummmmmmm
Thanks.
no wonder it tastes yummy... :P
Sadly guys, part of the yummy goodness that comes from Oreo, comes from pig lard.
yeah Xena, twist, lick and dunk... ;)
butter - ie cows milk.... how is that NOT halal?
Come on MJ, you know how to kill an Oreo.... first you take it apart, then you lick the creamy centre, then you stick it back together, then you dunk it in the milk and drown it;-P
In this case they will be using some animal fat which are forbidden for muslims.
Please go through the below link in which is giving a different picture abour oreo. I dont know which one is correct. Decide yourselves.

There's 50 ways to leave a lover (Paul Simon)
hmm, there should be at least 101 ways to kill a biscuit.. :P
well drmana, they don't allow pork to be sold here, but that doesn't mean people can't get them here right? so same goes for Oreo.. :P
mj, dip it in milk and chew it voraciously :D
exiledsaint, how do you kill a biscuit anyway? :P
how about chips ahoy?
How do you make a biscuit halal? Were they not killed in the right way in the first place?
hmmm... mj, I like that :-)
even if it gets banned in supermarkets, there would still be a way of getting them here.. :P
right nachu, ban oreos!
they should be banned then
won't stop me from eating Oreos.. :)
Rizks, I do...I like them :-(
but yeah better biscuits are always there :-)
oreo biscuits in UK are not halal...
who cares for OreaO biscuits...? :(
there are better biscooots then tat in market.
so what if it's not halal? is it haram to eat it?
will keep away from it when I am travelling... but I guess the one's we get here would be halal...
how the heck do you make OREO biscuits halal? lick it till it stop bleeding?
I've never seen them..then again I've never looked for them. Assuming they aren't Halal cause of the lard in the cream in the middle or in the cookie.
they're not? I've seen Oreos here in Lulu and Carrefour...
I've never seen them sold here so I don't think it's an issue.
