The chickens were placed on a skewer which was leaned against the toilet wall while a large red bucket was placed besides him.
“The worker was arrested and would be presented to the competent authorities,” the paper said without making clear if the restaurant would be punished.

Now, not content with merely sniffing the powder, Jaye actually places the substance in her nostrils up to ten times a day using a tablespoon.
She estimates that she has snorted 1,125 pounds - around half a ton - of powder since her obsession began reports .asiantown.
Saudis are not Asians. Saudis are Arabs. Arabs are not Asians.
Arabia is on the continent of Asia. Hence they are Asians. There is no continent of Arabia.
Anyone who lives on the continent of Asia is an Asian. Just as all inhabitants of North or South America are Americans.
In USA "Asian" has not entirely accurately come to mean "East Asian" or "Oriental" or "Mongoloid" or whatever the PC term of the moment is, just as in UK "Asian" has come to mean Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi.
But those are cultural issues specific to the country where the terms are used. In a geographic sense Afghans, Saudis, Isralis, (most) Turks, Chinese, Mongolians, Siberians and Indians are all Asians.
Many though not all Arabs (in the ethnic/racial sense of the word) are indeed Asians. A good many are Africans, with some others in Europe and the Americas.
If you want to get geographically technical about it, the term "Arab" could be limited to inhabitants of Arabia, which would make them all Asians.
Are you certain about the above?
I was once told Arabia was a poor province of Elbonia.
Arabs are Asians.
Jews are Asians.
And what about Orientals . . . . .
LOL, PM.
"Wow.... This chicken smells and tastes like..... sex!"....
Arabia is on the Arabian plate which split off from Africa. It is colliding with the Eurasian plate. If India is considered a subcontinent, then perhaps Arabia could be a subcontinent too.
Got it in one.
I read the entire article. Is Emirates 24/7 like the world division of The Globe or the National Enquirer? lol
It’s the Weekly World News’s fatwa department.
Yes! Weekly World News! I couldn’t think of that title for the life of me, but that’s where I was going.
So...they’ve added a Fatwa department, huh? Interesting. ;o)
Maybe I’m thinking of the Weekly Wahabi News.
It’s OK - he only touched it with his right hand...
“Was there any side dishes?”
Poo Poo Platter?
Saudi health inspectors ............funny!
I like subcontinental cuisine--that is, the cookery of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. After reading this thread, I'm not sure I'm ready to add Saudi Arabian cuisine to the list.
“Oriental” is no longer used as a descriptive for a person.
It is “Asian”.
