reading the halal thread it got me thinking.
ever killed your own meat?
was living on a hippy commune in Oz for a few months. everything was chick peas and lentils. mate and i were completely skint but wanted something more to eat than just mush.
there was a flock of chikens along with two young cocks. they pissed everyone off with their cockle-doodle-dooing real early each morning.
it was suggested that if we killed them we could eat them.
my mate couldn't bring himself to kill them so opted for gutting.
first ones head came off real easy with a small axe. best thing is when it goes running off around the yard. the second one was a bit tougher to get through.
stewed in red wine along with loads of veggies and red wine.
obviously killed fish too. lived on a beach for two weeks eating rice, fish and crabs. but they're a lot easier to kill (and gut) than meat.
