My first day at school is etched in my memory. It was late 1968 and I was just over fours years old. My mum told me not to eat any non halal food during lunch. And when lunch came I refused everything but for some weird reason ended up with just big lump of mash which I slowly scooped whilst all other kids had all sorts on their plates. I also remember freezing during breaktime because the school uniform used shorts instead of trousers and when playing around I fell ~ ending up scraping my knees. I was the only non white kid in the school and felt really strange but teachers were nice except the disgusting headteacher who smoked a tabaco pipe and smelled like crap.

How could you not like desi food?
There's a lot of snacks for kids with funny names and they all taste good.

Mom used to make me an egg roll and I used to call it 'anna chuha'. And pancakes with smileys made of syrop :

Well in my first years of my life I mostly ate Fast food and I did not start eating Halal Food until I was like 9 or 11 years old it was only after I visited Pakistan in 2004 and after that I actually started to like Pakistani food for example I hated Daal now I love Daal and I cant live without it my Pukhtoon side of the family are great BBQ and meat stuff I love meat so yes I like Pakistani meat cuisine mostly these days

Halal food in the 1960s UK we did not had that much Halal options here in NY or in the States till like the 90s or 2000s I mean common old folks like @Pan-Islamic-Pakistan might remember when Hot Dog stands use to be common before Halal Carts lol, as for schools in the UK since you are late 60s and 70s kids is it true corporal punishment was still common in the UK how was it being Pakistani then

tbh you look really dark for being half-Lebanese. Most Lebanese I know are light so your dads genes must be dominant.

 

[Path-Finder]

Ask 2004 Osman that not 2019 Osman

As long as 'he' like it now. everything in childhood is forgiven .

Yeah, we had some neighbours in Daytona who had the similar family mix but they were not practising so we never thought of them as Muslims neither they claimed..

One of the memorable days was finding my way into the campus collecting my keys to the dorm, my eagle card ... excited and stressed at the same time but my room mates were great ..
