Meat, as a rich source of protein, vitamins and minerals, has an important place in the Food basket of the people of the Middle east and West asia . However, the type and amount of Meat consumption in these regions may differ depending on cultural, religious, economic and other factors. In many countries of the Middle East and West Asia, red meat (veal, sheep, cow and turkey) is valued and used as an important component of daily meals. For example, kebab, Qorme Sabzi, ghee, meatballs and some other popular dishes are prepared from red meat.

In these regions, chicken meat is also popular and is widely used in daily meals. Tandoori chicken, roast chicken, potato coco and other similar dishes are usually prepared using chicken meat. In some Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia, goat meat is also used. Some traditional local dishes, such as goat meat, are made from this type of meat.

The cow is of high quality and can be used for consumption. All types of beef are consumed, such as veal and mature beef. Sheep meat is also considered as a halal food source in Islam. The meat of male and female sheep can be used. Goat meat is also considered halal and is used in some regions of the Middle East. Chicken also has a place in the Muslim food basket. All kinds of chicken meat, such as chicken breast and chicken thigh, are consumed.

The people of the Middle East are mostly Muslims, and the consumption of pork is prohibited according to the principles of the Islamic religion (Sharia). Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, followed by billions of people, and has certain rules and regulations about food consumption . The prohibition of consuming pork in Islam is derived from the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace be upon him). In the Quran, the consumption of pork is explicitly prohibited. This prohibition is considered as a divine order and a Shariah ruling based on the religious beliefs and beliefs of Muslims and has been accepted by many Muslims as a part of religious beliefs and sanctities.

Consumption of pork in the Middle East is also less common due to cultural and historical reasons. Since ancient times, the pig has been known as an unsuitable animal for breeding due to health reasons and the limitations of water resources in the dry and desert regions of the Middle East. Therefore, the prohibition of pork consumption in the Middle East is considered as a combination of religious, cultural and historical reasons, as part of the cultural and religious independence of this region. For halal consumption, the animal must be properly slaughtered and used in accordance with religious regulations. Authoritative Muslim religious authorities also usually provide a more detailed list of halal animals upon which Muslims are guided.

Regarding the consumption of white meat, such as fish and shrimp, it should be noted that the coast of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman are areas where the consumption of fish and seafood products is very common. In these areas, fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, salmon and shrimp are commonly used in local cuisine. Due to the growing trend of vegetarian and environmental meats, the consumption of meat in the food basket of these regions may change in the future and more vegetable meats will be available.

Middle East people's opinions about meat imported from non-Muslim countries can be diverse and vary depending on cultural, religious and economic factors. In some cases, people may not fully trust imported meats, especially if they cannot be sure about the methods of preparation and slaughtering of the meats. In cases where Middle Eastern people follow Muslim halal slaughter rules for meat consumption, they may be more likely to trust meats that are offered as halal. For example, meats produced or imported by countries with acceptable Muslim populations or approvals from Muslim religious authorities.

It should be noted that people's opinions and opinions about imported meat may differ between different people. Some may not fully trust imported meats and prefer to consume domestically produced meats or local products. Issues such as trust in brands and manufacturing companies, health standards and product quality, as well as providing sufficient information about the origin and production method of imported meats, can have a great impact on people's trust in these products.
