'Being Gordon Ramsay' featuring dead pig!

Lidl used to sell both kangaroo and ostrich

I love horsemeat, that's why I said delicious. I wish I could buy it in UK

You can, @oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends

Loved the bit about dinner being the best use of pitbulls though

Morrisons sell a surprising variety of exotic meat - antelope, wild boar and ostrich last time I checked.

Never seen kangaroo but we do live very rurally so it's mostly local meat.

Just
don’t eat the brain
keep the baby in a safe environment to avoid picking up toxins

I've bought & cooked kangaroo steaks in UK, but can't remember where I bought them. They are nice, very lean & good for calorie counters.

Except human babies grow to become aware of it, pigs don't and never will.

Stop trying to compare human beings to pigs - it makes you look very silly.

Interesting, I've never heard of dorado.

Kangaroo is probably one of my favourites - I had a delicious kangaroo steak in Sydney once, served in a lovely restaurant by the beach!

It's not a baby is it, you are anthropomorphising it. Don't watch Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy with the cow! I would imagine the majority of people are aware of or have seen a whole dead pig so won't have the shock you felt.

No one said that, stop your straw manning.

The previous poster asserted that it’s fine to kill pigs because they are unaware of their own mortality. The point is that neither are human babies, so it’s no justification for making killing acceptable.

Plenty of restaurants feature hog roasts, which are similar. I don’t particularly like the thought of it, and I’m a meat eater, but I have agency. So do you.

FGS don't tell her about fois gras

Yes, and it was 30 years ago...that's my point 😂

No parents complained, there was no massive uproar - us kids learnt where our food came from, helped feed and raise the pig (it was considered a big honour to take Sage her veggies) and then we ate her once she had been slaughtered.

And she was delicious with some apple sauce in a bun

I think if you eat meat, it would be kind of hypocritical to only eat meat that is sanitised and wrapped in cellophane. You might as well go the whole hog (pun intended!) There are many cruel practices involved in farming all animals for food - it’s not a sentimental industry.
What does annoy me is the idea some people have, that vegetarians are too ‘sensitive’ to face up to the harsh realities of food production. Many vegetarians and vegans stop eating meat/animal products precisely because they do educate themselves about the exploitation of animals and the realities of farming, animal transportation and slaughter and are disgusted by the low standards which still apply to the welfare of animals bred for food.
However, if you eat meat, can see a suckling pig and just think of how tasty it is, then fair play. That’s better, in my opinion, than people only being able to face eating meat which bears absolutely no resemblance to its source.

Probably not - at least in the west - because they're protected and apparently full of dangerous heavy metals

There's dolphinfish though, otherwise known as dorado, and that's delicious

Animals have no concept of life spans or how long they're supposed to live - it's not like they go to slaughter sobbing because they're supposed to live until 6 years instead of 6 months!

I love horsemeat, that's why I said delicious. I wish I could buy it in UK.

Some cultures do eat dog meat. When I visited N.Z., there was a newspaper article about a Maori family eating their pet pit bull terrier. I think it's the best thing to do with that breed.

This is current thinking !

Your schools practice is out of touch and belongs ‘ back in time’

If “omnis” are so comfortable with dead animals, why are they so offended by slaughterhouse and factory farm footage?

They rage and scream against completely standard animal agriculture scenes being shown publicly, such as male chicks being crushed live in a macerator.

You will see a potato harvest on TV adverts, but never an abattoir.

I wouldn’t like that either OP. I am vegan but don’t so much object to people seeing the whole animal - more that they are slaughtering such young animals who have had no chance at a life at all. Some people just lack empathy.

I’ve eaten shark, not sure which kind, didn’t taste of much IIRC.

I quite like New Zealand lamb!

It’s fine for everyone to have their individual boundaries. I started my journey to plant based diet not eating babies (no lamb, baby pig ) and gradually educated myself on the meat and slaughter industry and arrived where I am today with a largely plant based diet. I do eat the family pizza every Saturday with cheese on top. I have not cracked the vegan cheese yet.

Possibly! I had it in Switzerland of all places - part of some seafood buffet thing at a hotel. I was really excited to try it but it was very disappointing, lol.

Have you never been somewhere with a hog roast?

I think a lot of chip shops actually use shark.
