NOTICE FROM QDC TO ALL PORK LOVERS

tryke
By tryke

Please note the following:

1. Access to QDC is still restricted to liquor permit holders.
2. We need the liquor permit to create an invoice.
3. NO other permit is necessary.
4. The value of pork purchases is NOT deducted from your permit value.
5. There is no limit on how much you can purchase.
6. The current range is restricted to frozen smoked & unsmoked back & streaky bacon and 3 types of sausages9 (plain, Lincolnshire & Cumberland).)
7. All packs (400 gms. for bacon & 454 gms. for sausages) are QR28 per pack.
8. Frozen items like chops, joints and belly pork will be here in about 1 month.
9. A chilled Italian range of Salami, Parma Ham etc. is coming by air freight and should be here within 7-10 days.
10. We hope to get some chilled ham & gammon joints by air in time for Christmas, but we are still negotiating prices on this.

Please note that we sold 10% on the first container in 4 hours yesterday, but don’t worry the 2nd container is arriving in the port today.
We will be selling freezer bags from today, but I recommend you bring a cold box with you when shopping for pork.

As you will discover we do not really have space for this new venture, so please bear with us if the crowd in the cold room is too much and the queues too long. I recommend you avoid Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays if you want to avoid queues.

Please note we will be building an extension to house this new product range but this will take at least 6-8 months to complete. We are also planning a separate shop on The Pearl (next to liquor shop) but again this is at least 8 months away. The new liquor shop on The Pearl should open by end of January 2012.

China's state news agency says more than 100 people including 77 government employees have been sentenced in a scandal involving pork tainted with a banned chemical.Several farms in Henan province were found to be using the fat-burning drug clenbuterol - a banned chemical that makes pork leaner but can harm humans.Xinhua News Agency says the main culprit, Liu Xiang, was convicted of harming public safety and sentenced to death.Clenbuterol can cause nausea, dizziness and heart palpitations.      http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/china/China-sentences-113-in-tainted-pork-scandal/articleshow/10879316.cms

Yes brit, it is true. It can also happen that they jump from a person who just ate pork to another person...now, thing is, the person who ate the pork will not be affected...but the non pork eater will, this bacteria likes to multiply in "fresh" victims!

well said JDouble! I 100% agree with you... people are never forced to eat pork... it a choice they have to make... but i really love eating pork and not being affected with whatever negative remarks written about pork as mentioned above... lol!

I am sorry but to those of you who do not wish to purchase Pork, I suggest you stay away - I for one wil be purchasing it.

If it is against your principles or religion then, again, don't buy it!

I object to some of the foods sold here but I believe that different cultures should operate in harmony and not have people enforcing thier own opinions on others!

Russian firm to name alcoholic drink after Gaddafi

MOSCOW: A Russian company is going to produce and sell an alcoholic drink in Russia named after Libya's slain leader Muammar Gaddafi, a media report said Wednesday.

The company, a subsidiary of Rusimport, Russia's largest producer and importer of liqueurs and vodka, has filed an application for the registration of the Commendatore Muammar trademark to the national patent service

The company already produces wine, vodka and liqueurs under the Commendatore trademark. The trademark's image features Cuban Revolutionary leader Che Guevera.

In 2003, Putinka vodka, named after Russia's powerful then-president Vladimir Putin, was launched on the Russian market. A year later, Putinka became Russia's best-selling vodka.

I did - my point is that all foods, all diets, have good and bad.

Many people, each day, get sick from chicken, beef, eggs, turkey, vegetables, even water.

The most recent health scare that I can think of in the US was salmonella contaminated SPINACH.

But what I can say is that after eating pork for over 30 years, it hasn't made me sick.

So why would I start worrying now.

To do so would be both irrational and ignorant.

What Qatar really needs to worry about is the quite ridiculous level of stupidity amongst such a large number of its expats.

Pork meat causing swine flu?

Even school kids know that isn't true.

House wives in rural, 3rd world countries might fall for that. But people claiming to be skilled or educated? Wow... makes you wonder where these people go to school.

(Do they go to school?)

Yeah Qatar's bright idea to sell pork where you need alcohol permit to freaking enter. What about those that dont want the liquor permit!

Just a bunch of money making racket...that too for a piece of meat! Morons!
