Used a pound of minced cow in my own recipe* home-made burgers tonight. Side of chunky chips and a nice salad. All the family happy and content.

Pigs are kinda tasty too.

Are you sure [i]all[/i] cows taste good flashy? Or are you a tad mixed up about what cows make that steak you've just eaten? What with you spending all that time in that there that London and only occasionally spending a weekend pretending you're a country gent, you might not fully understand the concept of say, just how untasty a dairy cow might taste as opposed to Aberdeen Angus beef cattle. Wikipedia's your friend old chap. 😆

I took delivery of half of one of these this very morning

Horses taste good in burger form too!

But only with cheese.

meat heaven

gives you cancer

Do you Know hoW long a carrot screams for after you've ripped it from the earth, well do ya? Spuds cry for weeks after being dug up. And it takes a hour for a cabbage to die after being take indoors.
Usually enough to get a vegi off their dinner and the it's quiet for the rest of the meal.

Rhug Bison burgers are Awesome

I grow my own Sirloins, and don't own a steak knife. Meat is lush.

Not me mate, but if you knew what happens to get meat to your plate, you might think again about eating it.

We've been offered a highland cow for down the bottom of our garden for the summer!

but if you knew what happens to get meat to your plate, you might think again about eating it.

I know full well what happens to get meat on my plate, thankyouverymuch. That's one of the reasons why, as far as is possible, I only buy meat from sources I'm happy with. I'd rather not eat a meal with meat than eat bad meat.

Still......any excuse for this again!

Sometimes you have to wonder though, I mean the rest of the field was dry and comfy, yet these funny little creatures insisted on standing knee-deep in the flood?!

They look intent on world domination....

"these funny little creatures insisted on standing knee-deep in the flood"

maybe they thought it was gravy.

Why is it that we call Cow meat Beef and Pig meat Pork but then call Lamb meat Lamb and Chicken meat Chicken etc?

Am I being thick?

You mean like they call lamb meat mutton? They're all just names derived from different places.

I thought mutton was Sheep? And yes I know a Lamb is a baby Sheep.

French/Latin etc.

Andy M - it was just a point that they call the same animal by different names, not being pedantic over the age of the meat!

coffeeking I wasn't trying to be funny I just wasnt sure.

Capt' thanks for that I dont feel quite so thick now.

coffeeking I wasn't trying to be funny I just wasnt sure.

It's ok, I wasn't offended, I just forgot my smiley 🙂

"Beef" "pork" etc are all words that mean the product of the meat as opposed to the animal itself. Thes words derive from the Norman French language of the ruling classes, and the words like "cow" "pig" etc are usually derived from the Saxon language of their serfs.

It is this multiple layers of language that gives English such a baffling complexity to foreigners and other aliens.

Have you noticed that when its windy cows graze into the wind? They all face the same way in the field.

I guess as they are high sided the want to reduce the amount of drag.

Sheep, by contrast, adopt a more random orientation whatever the windstate.
