The Oink Oink Issue

I tried to blog straight from the lobby of Parliament while on duty lastnite. But the WiFi there is so not friendly, kejap-kejap ilang... mcm MP juga.

We received a forwarded e-mail yesterday about kemusykilan dat Nandos is using 'pure bristle' as the brush in their food preparation. According to the e-mail, pure bristle is made from bulu hog laa, so i checked on www for further clarification... hopefully yang menyedapkan hati coz i'm in denial dat one of my fav food is 'contaminated'. However, I found nothing explaining the difference between bristle, pure bristle or natural bristle...

My sis also questioning my BeneFit Dandelion blusher brush coz it's white and oh-so-soft (btw yang, if you are reading this adalah sangat tidak adil to show off your brand new Tod's bag to me... binci! I'm getting my Chloe Paddington.. don't care, huh!). Cemas ok, but I did my checking and its actually made from goat's hair (fur?). Phewwww...

So if you guys have some info on how to differenciate these thingie... pls pls pls share with me so I can share with the concerned muslim consumer. All I know is pigskin or brush from hog's fur are the softest and comfort-est in the world... hehehe!
This remind me of an sms from a gud fren the other day:
“Jie, ko mau ka brand new blvgari bag husband aku beli dari NY? Dia nda perasan baa bag tu pigskin lining. Alaa... knowing u, I’m sure you don’t mind”


Hahahaha... Maybe it appeared like I don't mind, but I do actually. Cannot imagine berguling-guling atas tanah menyamak seluruh badan after setiap pemakaian.

Mental note: Must check my wardrobe for the three dots, just in case...

Do DNA testing of ALL your products. No, wait. That won't work, since you've corrupted them anyway with your overuse of the products. Little Miss Piggy can't use pig-made products. That's barbaric and cannibalistic.

I'm so jealous with Ms Piggy eyelashes, they are so lucious and to die for. And her skin tone, oh so radiant and pinkish...

hi mymatahari..i was blog hopping and stumbled upon yours. *nice!!

anyways, i was too, very upset to hear abt the bristle brush. it breaks my heart as i seriously love nandos!

I wonder if they use the same brush in the UK? my place has a halal nandos and i kinda sceptical jugaklah since Nandos Malaysia pun pakai bristle.

hey.. if you got any further news bout this do give me (and all of us) a shout yeah.

keep on blogging! and feel free to hop to mine. www.tunfatimah.blogdrive.com
