(Although Nathan's and Sabrett's are also acceptable. But most of the time when we have tube steaks they are HN.)

It looks more gruesome than it really is . . . the knife is razor-sharp, and anybody who's sliced a finger with a very sharp blade knows that the pain takes a while to register. A skillful slaughterman or shochet will have the animal unconscious almost immediately.

Still plenty of room for argument, given that the skill is obtained through practice.

Having a posh accent does not disguise the fact that one may still be a git.

How is an Islamic prayer said before slaughtering the animal different from the incantations said by witches as they're bagging up Halloween candy? You're cursed either way.

Thatcher hated the workers, but didn't have all the snobbish airs and graces that Hopkins does.
