Halal produce in Cardiff Market is readily available; you just won\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n

Butchers also allow for flair: Morgan\u2019s one-person meal<\/p><\/div>\n

The demand for halal produce is higher than ever in Cardiff, prompting the conversion of many restaurants to serving halal meat. Now it has emerged that although Cardiff Market does not house a halal-only vendor, you can find the Islam-approved meat there.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf the meat I sell, 99% of the lamb is halal and I\u2019d say around 98% of the chicken is too,\u201d says Brian Morgan, a renowned butcher for 30 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make commercial sense for us to be serving halal-only meat. But if you want halal produce, just ask,\u201d he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brian went on to say that the \u201c60-plus-year-old\u201d customer base the market predominately serves didn\u2019t justify a halal-only butcher.\u00a0<\/p>\n
