Hey does anyone know of a Moroccan butcher near Washington DC?  Thanks!

Butcher does not need to be Moroccan 

you need halal meat

Thanks, Jeanne!  Yes but we were specifically looking for a Moroccan butcher that we heard about.  Just to have that Moroccan touch

Yeah Atlanta would be!  He got his SS# after a couple of weeks but still waiting on GC.  My husband says it usually takes a few months.  Was that your experience?   We found a small market not to far away that has halal meat  but I found out that it's something that's difficult to inquire about since it involves basically asking people if they eat halal meat which is kind of a private thing.  It's a big issue, if a person who is Muslim lands in an area where halal meat is not readily available.  Having to drive for hours and then cut and freeze large quantities of meat adds an extra level of work to the whole cooking process.  I got rid of my microwave so defrosting meat safely is another issue.  Basically, you have to think of what you want to eat tomorrow and put it in the refrigerator at night in order for it to be ready to cook that next day.  I might have to reconsider my stance on microwaves!

We travel to Atlanta (just over 2 hours ) to get halal meat and so we buy 1/2 a sheep

 

but i can get Kosher meat locally as 

 

Can Muslims eat kosher meat?

 

It's not generally known outside the circles of the preoccupied, but Muslims who can't get meat slaughtered according to the rules of halal, the Muslim equivalent of the kosher laws, are permitted by most Muslim clerics to eat kosher instead

 

not sure why he would say this is a private thing / its well known here even in our city and surrounding area which is a lot smaller than DC  

He should attend a local mosque and ask

There are several in Alexandria, VA not far from DC. There is Fair Price Market off of Edsall, I am not sure if it’s specifically Moroccan but I know a lot of Moroccans work in the butcher area.  Also off of George Mason and Seminary there is a whole strip of Arabic Markets including Butcher. It’s also a great area to get Arabic, Moroccan, Ethiopian food. But I will say parking is terrible the Fair Price location os much easier to get in and out of and they have an amazing selection as well.
