Any chef will tell you all the alcohol boils off in cooking. (Not true of some sauces for desserts of course.) But all the licensed restaurants in DXB have been using little wineglass symbols on the menus for years to indicate where alcohol has been part of the preparation and hence allow the good Moslems to avoid it. What was the problem with that??
Some of the 'government' must be nuts to get yet more bad press for Dubai with this latest ruling. Pretty damn difficult to make Moules Mariniere without a dry white wine. Soon we'll be reduced to Gordon Ramsey and his mates just offering a traditional Mutton Grab. Saves washing the cutlery too.
Oh and I've just found out they're not going to issue any more licences for massage parlours. The place is going downhill faster than an Olympic skier
