Posted November 12, 2010 Ew, stringy old-animal meat. Go for something young, like a puppy. ... I'm going to hell for thinking the same thing... and laughing... I don't think I could eat a cat though... I love kittehs too much... but dogs are a bit annoying and dopey... So pass the plate. -K- Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2010 Honestly, I have no problem. I honestly don't see the difference between eating cows and chickens, or eating dogs. Share this post Link to post

Posted November 12, 2010 I wouldn't have a problem eating dog. I'll eat pretty much anything (adjusting for worries about parasites, etc.) I can't even really say I'm adjusting for parasites. I eat raw cookie dough all the time. I think there was enough left, the last time I made cookies, to make at least two more cookies. Scraping the bowl with the intent of making more cookies was too much work though. It was more fun just to scoop it out with my fingers and eat it. *is probably going to die someday* But in my defense, it was white chocolate cookie batter with chocolate chunks in it. Way too good to waste going down the drain. I'm pretty sure the cookie dough thing puts me at well more risk than the meat thing, especially accounting for safe meat cooking temps. I eat sushi until I think I'm gonna burst too. Somehow butcher meats seems pretty low on the list of things I probably SHOULD be worried about. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2010 I'm not especially squeamish myself, eating sushi regularly and having ordered tartar before (too much horseradish though, couldn't eat it >.>). Don't eat cookie dough 'cause we never make any. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2010 I never understood eating carnivores, at least in poorer areas. I mean, think about how much meat it would take to get one pound of cat meat, or whatnot. Share this post Link to post

I eat sushi until I think I'm gonna burst too. Somehow butcher meats seems pretty low on the list of things I probably SHOULD be worried about. Don't get me started on my feelings of modern day squeemishness and germaphobia. I eat cookie dough too, and quite honestly I don't care about the risks. I like my meat rare too, and I prefer some pink in the middle of a hamburger. The only reason I don't eat sushi is because of taste, not the idea of it being raw. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2010 My boyfriend likes his really really rare too. I need at least the illusion that my meat was cooked, not just placed in a pan until it warmed and then taken out, so I insist if he is going to make it that way, at least he brown mine on all sides. I like the taste, but my dad was a culinary student and instilled in all of us a fear of undercooked meats. I'm heinously picky about things that are actually ALWAYS unsafe when not cooked through (like pork and chicken), but not so much with fresh red meat. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2010 I used to eat meat and laugh at people who thought it was a terrible thing to do. Now I have become a vegetarian a while after I converted to Buddhism. Animals have feelings and they feel pain like us. But just because I think that it's wrong to eat meat doesn't mean that I'm going to try and stop people from eating it. It's their choice.

Posted November 12, 2010 I'm an unrepentant carnivore. Bacon is just too good to pass up. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2010 Carnivorous, yet Buddhist...Conflicted me. My Chemistry teacher told us never to order our steaks in high-class restaurants well-done. I've never had high-class steak and don't relish beef or mutton, so any views? Share this post Link to post

I've never had high-class steak and don't relish beef or mutton, so any views? No idea why, if I'm honest. Mind you I like my steak blue, so I'd make that recommendation on taste. Frankly I think cooking steak well done ruins a good bit of meat. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2010 What Tikindi said. I mean, what's the point, then, of going to a high-class place if you're just gonna turn the meat completely brown? Didn't figure you could be a real Buddhist while still eating meat. Share this post Link to post

I've never had high-class steak and don't relish beef or mutton, so any views? It's that most of the differences between a high class and a regular steak show itself when less cooked. By cooking it well done, you might as well save yourself the money and buy a cheaper steak for you won't tell the difference. Edited November 12, 2010 by Nectaris Share this post Link to post

I've never had high-class steak and don't relish beef or mutton, so any views? Yeah, it's a waste of good meat. Well-done is to many people a synonym for "cook it until it's as tough as shoe leather". I prefer steaks cooked just enough to flame sterilize them. Nice and brown on both sides. YUM!

Posted November 13, 2010 I've just got my hand on some ostrich steak, and will be trying to get some springbok steak tomorrow. Awesome. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2010 Springbok? Dude, where the heck are you at? Lidl are doing a special offer this week. They also have Quail, Partridge, Reindeer & Pheasant, but at nearly £5 a portion I can't justify it (I normally spend 50p at most for one portion of meat for a meal) so I've decided to treat myself to the rarest of the group. After all, pheasant is a popular rural dish in the UK, reindeer is just another kind of venison, and the others probably all taste of chicken. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2010 I just had steak. And there is this restaurant called Roaring Fork near my house, and they have alligator... Share this post Link to post

Dad used to go on an annual pheasant hunt to Kansas, and came back with more than a year's supply. At least as a child, I got heartily sick of pheasant. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2010 I just had steak. And there is this restaurant called Roaring Fork near my house, and they have alligator... Back when I ate meat, I went to a restaurant in Florida that had alligator tail. It tasted like a cross between chicken and fish. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2010 Niiice. *Drools* Pity about the price, though. /goes to check dollar-to-pounds I miss having more "exotic" meats. Stupid lack of a Chinatown around here... Lack of China town? Try lack of stores that even sell the most rudimentary supplies for chinese cooking. Freaking redneck hillbilly heck. I have a friend who is Laotian and if I want anything beyond grocery store soy sauce, I have to give her a shopping list and have her buy all the ingrediants for me. And she has to drive over 2 hours to get anything at all! /endrant You guys are so lucky you have variety where you are. I'd love to try raindeer. And quail tastes like itsy bitsy chickens, not worth the price that the upscale restaurants want for it. Just finished up a nice dinner of roast lamb though. I have had friends telling me I shouldn't eat lamb because it is little and cute and would "baaa" at me in a cute way if it were still alive. I'm Greek though. Lamb is a staple of my diet and always has been. Why do people have to lecture me about what I'm eating when I didn't fix it for them? I fixed it for me. It wasn't like I was eating baby. Not offensive as far as I could see. May have overdone the garlic a little though. The recipie called for stabbing my lamb stank, shoving garlic cloves in the holes and then scattering about 2 heads worth of cloves around the roasting meat. I must have eaten at least a full head of garlic tonight, all by myself. Tastes good, but I'm not sure I'm going to want to be me or be around me tomorrow. Share this post Link to post
