I read an article recently that indicated some muslims had bought some Walkers cheese+onion crisps only to discover on eating them that they were in fact smokey bacon. It stated that the Koran forbids eating pork of pork flavoured food.

Firstly, is this true? Where exactly are food flavouring bans mentioned in the Koran?

Secondly, where does it mention which specific E numbers are involved, because that is as close to a pig as Walkers flavours ever get.

Thirdly, how the fuck did they know they were smokey bacon flavour?

WTF are E numbers? Is this some wierd UKism that us Merkins don't get?

Bwahahahahaha.

The barbecue flavour is nice though, and even the cheese n onion are far better than any kind of golden wonder

Oh and E numbers are really bad for you

I had the prawn flavored ones once.

E numbers are permissible colourings, preservatives and flavourings which can be added to foodstuffs. They are described by numbers prefixed 'E'. As the law dictates that all ingredients must be listed on the packaging (in order of volume)it avoids consumers realising they are eating complex man made chemicals. For the same reason when water is a main ingredient (eg in soups) it is universally described as aqua, in case we think they are just selling us water.

Britons travelling abroad have been known to die because they forgot to take their E111.
