Mint sauce, anyone? 😀
I really enjoyed the haggis I had Friday night, and the smoked salmon and smoked venison starter too... :mrgreen:

Another person here who doesn't really care what other people eat.

But for someone to say they are "consistently amazed" that people rely on meat as the main part of a meal, and to suggest that I have a lack of imagination because I choose to do the same, suggests to me that other people care more about it than I do.

(I don't have a lack of imagination by the way, I regularly imagine I am a Caveman when I am cooking meat on a barbecue, and often imagine I am eating a succulent Kobe Fillet when it's actually a bit of Chuck on my plate)

to be fair, cows sheep and pigs are expensive, smelly and annoying. If it wasn't for the fact they're made of meat and yummy in my tummy they'd be toast as they would just be a "pest/vermin species" to the cereal crops and veg that we would need to feed everyone.

I just want a nice juicy burger.

YOU want the annihilation of entire species.

What I am reading is you dont want to defend your original statement re better to have a life no matter how short.

thanks for being so dismissive

No idea what you consider to be dismissive was it something like this 🙄

calm down Junkyard

left to their own devices, sheep and cows would be killed out of existence by other species

How did they survive long enough for us to use husbandry on them given this?

YOU want the annihilation of entire species.

we will keep a zoo,
just for you

I'd forgotten about the Sweet Sue chicken. That's such an ace product. For mid-Western Murkans, obviously.
My thoughts mostly go along the lines of:
I quite like meat, but I don't want to eat it all the time as there's lots of other nice things to eat out there as well.
Obviously quinoa is now off the menu. 😥
Fish is nice, but not all the time, as is fowl.

Really there is no point entering in debate if you get cross, dont defend your view then use abuse.

You could consider responding to what i said with counter points that suggest I am wrong in what I have said.

Eat meat dont eat me it is your choice but dont use weak arguments when doing so be it eating or not eating meat. I have heard plenty from both sides.
This made me laugh from one of these threads

Tazzy, very funny keep it up.

Junkyard, I'm not sure what you're argument actually is, and why you're impossible
Love the last post though!

mate. I don't care either way. I am not cross, I'm just messing about! I just don't get the whole vegetarianism thing as seriously as you do . That's me. Obviously each to their own, and it is a moral choice. You have to admit you are an impossible pain though JY! and ANYWAY I said I give up, you are right and I am wrong.

I prepare and eat food stuffs. I don't make a great distinction about what source category it is. If it's edible and tasty, it's food.

Some folks seem awfully worried about eating animals bred for food when I think the real issue is about animal welfare and humane slaughter.

**** idiots

about the most sensible thing said on this thread.
although it still bears no relevance to the OP's original statement about meat with every meal.
for me, meat provides something that contains the protein I need/ want in a very tasty, affordable, simple and quick to prepare and cook form. I know of nothing that provides these things that isn't meat. I grew up with 2 vegetarians and whilst they make some great food it takes a lot of time and effort and they are constantly seeking out new things/ ways to cook and eat because things get boring quickly.
That is why, probably 90% of the time, I have meat/ fish with lunch and dinner.

maybe i'm in a funny mood. Pointing at someone and saying they are a f**ing idiot because of their moral choices seems a bit daft and thoughtless.

To those using animal welfare in their case for vegetarianism, do they never stop to think of all the millions of animals that are killed farming their crops? Or do they just choose to ignore it? Or perhaps they think some animals are more equal than others?

I listened to it yes.

The cold congealed macaroni cheese "Christmas Turkey" made me sick a bit into my mouth.

Didn't hear mention of yorkshireosterich though.

Are they tasty ?

Of course they don't. They probably have little grasp of agribusiness, cash crops in developing countries, deforestation, how their food gets to the table and not forgetting their blinkered view of their own impact on the world from their lifestyle choices.
They remind me of the do-gooders and soap dodgers who rally against a conventional capitalist society and all the middle class aspirational baubles people desire yet are quite happy to use the Internet, education system, NHS etc when it suits them.

Indeed if one chooses to criticise the current system in any way could you do it from a cave in your own blood with a stick lest you look hypocritical.
Ps two of those three are state funded [ do you need to know which ones?] and not capitalist and the the www came from state funding. Apart from that its brilliant 🙄
I can never quite work out whether people believe it when they type stuff like that tbh.

As for hypocrisy it is there for everyone if you want to get in a forth about it
Why wear leather but not fur?
Breed for food but not for coats?
Why eat a cow but not a dog or a cat?
Why not eat veal?
Why only eat certain parts of the animal?
Humane Killing - oxymoron and why bother?
Etc

Really eat what you want but I cant see why some meat eaters get so annoyed because some folk dont eat meat

Still got a bit of sand in there?

Use one of last season's ties to floss it out.

the pigs watch what is going on every weekend and the he said that on the first day the pigs would come out of their pens after the training was over and do half of the things they were training the dogs to do

that is amazing.
but not as amazing as a bacon sandwich.
QED.

That's one of the wonderful mysteries of the internet.
I often ponder the same thing (not for very long admittedly)
