haha, sounds quite spanish, "I stop to eat the meat at twenty two after my father he was killed by a butcher".

of course, you'd never actually hear a spaniard say that; they're fucking obsessed with meat.

I am Inigo Montoa. You kill my father prepare to fry

"I could give you my word as a spaniard!"
"I've known too many spaniards."

to think I never saw that movie until about a year ago. madness.

It's true that people from certain countries/cultures virew vegetarians as being a bit daft.
Its like ; "meat for the table is the best reward for a hard days work, what what the hell do you mean can i have a salad"

A friend went to visit his girlfriends parents in France. When he said he was a vegetarian the girlfriends mother whispered to her that if she minced up some meat she could hide it in his dinner and that he'd never know. As if there was some NEED to get meat into him

haha. the auld gerry ryan manoeuvre. how did she possibly think she was going to get away with that?

 

[damien]

defensive meat eaters have something to hide.

MY MEAT MANIFESTO

• Consider how much meat you eat. Is it, perhaps, too much? Too much for your good health? Do you imagine that your personal meat-eating habit, extrapolated to a national level, might put undue pressure on farmers to produce mountains of cheap meat of dubious quality, by dubious means?
• Think about the meat that you eat. Is it good enough? Good enough to bring you pleasure every time you eat it? Could it, should it, be better? Perhaps it would make sense to spend a little more on it, a little less often. Or to buy cheaper cuts of better meat.
• Think about the animals that the meat you eat comes from. Are you at all concerned about how they have been treated? Have they lived well? Have they been fed on safe, appropriate foods? Have they been cared for by someone who respects them and enjoys contact with them? Would you like to be sure of that? Perhaps it’s time to find out a bit more about where the meat you eat comes from. Or to buy from a source that reassures you about these points.
• There might be a different way of buying meat that works well for you, that could guarantee better quality and give you a cleaner conscience. Could you shop more locally, buying direct from the people who actually farm the animals that produce the meat? Or could you use a butcher who can tell you where all his meat comes from, and get special things for you when you want them?
• Think about the way you cook meat. Do it justice. Respect it. Understand a little (or even a lot) about what happens when you roast a joint or bird in a very hot oven, or when you simmer meat slowly for hours, with subtle flavours. Discover the remarkable difference that resting roast meat, for 15 minutes or more, before carving it, will make to its texture, and therefore its taste. A few small adjustments to your kitchen habits could bring big benefits.
• Are you adventurous with meat? Do you explore the tastes and textures of different cuts, particularly the cheaper cuts and offal? Could you save money and eat better by doing so? There may be all kinds of recipes, not complicated, not expensive, that could breathe new life into your meat cookery and bring more excitement and satisfaction at mealtimes to you, your family and the friends you entertain.
• Are you thrifty with meat? That’s not the same as mean. In fact, it’s practically the opposite. Being creative with leftover meat means getting more from it. You’re making it more generous to you and, in so doing, paying greater tribute to the animal that has died to provide it.
• Finally, if you accept that there is any moral content at all in the way we treat animals, then you must accept that there is a moral dimension in your dealings with meat. Please think about it, don’t shirk it.​

[therealjohnny]

turkey jam

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

the mother made me sandwiches there a few weeks ago and put strawberry jam on instead of cranberry. i could have killed her at first, but it tasted grand

Or a funeral. Or a sunday night screening of glenroe.

By screening, are you implying more than just watching it at home? Glenroe nights in the public house?

It's not just meat that's left over at Christmas. Refried Christmas pudding is recommended by me.

my little sister is 12 and has been a healthy vegetarian since 10. she went to the gaeltacht recently and i'm ashamed to say i thought she'd break but nooo. she loyally ate quorn fillets for 3 weeks straight. she won't even eat haribo. she's deadly. I went through so many phases before finally doing it at age 15. I guess it helps that there's so many alternatives and that I cook her dinner. Its a lot harder to do without support.
