sheep give birth to little lambs, the lambs then live in the fields with the sheep until they are in prime lamb condition.

 

then we kill them and eat them.

 

lamb is the best meat.

LAMB

 

 

you have to feel sorry for the little lamb chaps but lets be honest here, they taste fucking delicious.

yeah this is another thread brewing up in me. i crave lamb a lot these days and had some really really good lamb last night. deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelish

just stick with kobe beef freddo.

lamb is the best.

he chose to eat the guinea pig (i think)

the cat was served up disguised as something else. he thought it was very odd food. then that week it was announced that that particular reataurant had been surreptitiously serving up cats.

i ate a pigeon once. worst meat i have ever ingested (excluding liver and kidney)

Octopus is the best meat. Octopus you all must eat. Octopus is served white as a sheet. Octopus tastes alreet.

the chickens on my old farm were free-range but the barn they all went in at night looked no different to that. you sure they're not free range?

it's battery chickens that have a bad deal.

the chickens on my old farm were so free-range they'd wander around up all the little dirt tracks that led up to the farm so i ended up running a few of them over lol

Live octopus is grand with hot pepper paste. Nothing like the feeling of the little suckers grabbing onto your tongue or mouth on the way down.

I ate a snake, it wasn't too good. They had dogs at the restaurant but I couldn't afford it after the snake, but I wanted to.

surprised fred hasnt got mad about the off-topicness of this thread.

CHICKEN.

I ate a guinea pig in peru. It was kind of rank, though I did like the rictus of pain on his little face, like he had been hit mid-stride by a flamethrower.

funny thing about free range chickens, is that chickens that are *truly* free-range, meaning they get to live outdoors with unlimited space, have the toughest, most rubbery meat. The fact is succulent meat comes from mostly idle animals. I bet fat little humans taste delish.

I've seen videos of this, I've got to say I wouldn't mind trying it. But seriously those little fellas must be shitting themselves, just because they don't look much doesn't mean they can't feel.

*Eats fried octopus on toast*

*crunch munch*

If you guys played with an octopus underwater you'd never want to eat them. They are far too damn intelligent, it's like eating ET.

I eat squid though, they don't seem quite as brainy.

I'm pretty sure they're just as smart. They communicate with each other by changing the pigment of their skin.

nowerdays my reasons are more that I'm against the commercialisation of killing things.

That's pretty much why I stay vegetarian. I don't think eating meat is wrong, but there's something insidious about the process. A slaughterhouse is kind of like a car factory, or a canning facility. It's relegated an entire species to food, and turned it into a commodity.

i ate some pussy in china.

pussy.

From a carnivore's point of view they taste better too. There's much more flavour to free range chickens, they're less grey and have more tenderness to them.

this is actually a bit of a myth.

(not that i support mass industry farming)... but...

a barn or battery farmed chicken's meat will be more tender on the basis that it hasn't used its muscles as much as a free range bird. (see fillet of beef for an example of a similar principle in action, or indeed wagu if you want to take it to the logical conclusion.)

also, due to a higher fat content, these birds will have more flavour, as fat is the substance used to transfer flavour. fat equals flavour.

i dunno what the solution is, and the birds are really kept in some frighteningly bad conditions, but how do you argue the point with a low income family who sees a couple of £2.50 chickens as a source of valuable and good quality protein for their families?

a free range organic chicken at a farmers' market can cost up to ten times this amount.

my mate ate a cat in peru recently

had some mountain lion(loin) hunted by my friend in colorado recently it was fucking tasty.

I applied for a job at Foster Farms once, and the guy conducting the interview was describing the clean-up job I was applying for; blood, guts, body parts and the like all over the place, and I said it sounded like the maid's job after some Satanic kegger. He laughed and said, "Yeah, kinda." I didn't get the job. Asshole. I don't kid around for free, you know, especially when there's a job at stake.

id rather be homeless and poor and hungry than do any of the jobs in the meat industry

Doesn't sound like a very satisfying job. I think it's a blessing you didnt get that job. It may have haunted you. Imagine coming home every day after seeing those horrors. You'd find it pretty hard to get aroused after seeing some of the shit that went on at that farm.

Need to get a little more backstory on this Frank guy, he sounds like a menace.

isn't that Easterlingman?

Yup, certainly explains why he's been keeping a low profile of late.
