to be an unrepentant carnivore?

[GraceAwayInAManger]

It's been done before, but I couldn't bring myself to read the threads as they would have made me cry - with longing!

I'm on the breadline, literally, and am a good budget cook. Lentils, five meals from a chicken, etc. BUT!! Today I spent some of my cold weather money on a joint of sirloin. I roasted it very fast, very hot. Brown on the outside & BLOODY on the inside. God, it's gorgeous!

Just eaten about half a pound of the stuff, and feel healthier than I have in months!

Fellow lovers of dead creatures, share your lascivious recipes here I'm ready to read and slaver.

I'm LOVING your posts, Asteria! I empathise - my joyful post was prompted by having eaten a huge chunk of dripping flesh, after months of 'restrained' cooking. My blood group is A but I'm definitely a savage hunter, diet-wise!

I have no qualms, I'm afraid. I once witnessed a veal calf being killed in a small Italian village - I was drawn by its screams. That evening I ate it blush And I like alligator!

Did you know, the life form that Quorn is made from is biologically the same as TOENAILS?

Am off to buy some more cheap meat ... I would buy freedom meat, for sure, if I weren't so broke. Now I'm poor I'm actually grateful for unethical farming.

Ooh, yes, radiohelen, that's like Kleftiko, isn't it?

A vegetarian colleague was (sort of) having a go at us for eating meat and proclaimed 'I never eat anything with eyes'. I unhelpfully pointed out she eats potatoes

As a non meat eater due to health/digestive problems I say EAT EAT as much as you can due to the fact that I love my cosy leather coat, my shoes boots and bags which I wear to ensure there is no waste

@ Tis Baby Cow.
Baby Cow = Delicious.

Oh, canyou, what a pity you can't eat meat

Whilst I know meat & leather usually come from different animals, I am very happy to eat more dead calf so you can have lovely soft Italian gloves

Mean-minded chuckles at potatoes with soulful eyes, Ickleboo.

Mmmm meat!
There is a restaurant/pub in Australia that is labelled as 'Brisbanes worst vergetarian restaurant'. Does an awesome steak.

I have eaten camel, horse, dog, snake, kangaroo, crocodile, ostrich, rabbit, cow, sheep, pig, goat, frog, snail, chicke, duck, goose, pigeon and it was all DELICIOUS!!!

AND ANOTHER THING! We have eyes at the front of our heads (unless you are really unfortunate) that would suggest we are predators - I haven't seen many potato hunts recently...

Oh sue me....
I love Foie Gras, caviar (can't eat too much of the stuff as bloat up like Michelin Man - high salt content), veal...
They taste soooo good.
On the meat [yummmmm] front, Steak Tartare with ballsy red - I'm in heaven.
Blue NY steak - drool,
proper rib roast, brown and crusty outside, bleedy inside - could eat it every day.
Leg of wild boar with herbs, slow cooked..... Venison in zillion ways...
[giving fridge a hard stare.... something in there is about to vanish]

Right, have spoken to local butcher, who called friends in America!

Guess what I will be having delievered on Monday for my dinner?

"Lion Steak" Apparently they are farmed for meat in some parts of America!..Costing me £75 for 20 but i am looking forward too it!!

I love my meat. But I've never had very rare meat. The risk of food poisoning scares me.
Sunday roasts are the best. I could never be a vegetarian.

Very interesting.

I've been (very strict) veggie for 20 years, but DP and DD are into meat and I love them both. It really is up to the individual and I make an effort not to preach.

But Rollmops - Foie Gras? Really? Yeurch!

Best line in a TV show ever is from the Rebound Bro episode of How I Met, where Barney is teaching Randy (very losery guy, hasn't had sex in 13 years) how to pick up girls. Barney starts chatting up this girl with a koala pin and says "did you know that Randy here is Australia's foremost expert on koalas?" So she goes "oh really? Randy - what's your favourite thing about a koala bear?"
Randy "their meat is deliiiiiiiiiiiiicious".

LION steak???! Wow! [super impressed emoticon]

Rollmops, your post made me very, very hungry ... I'm with you on the foie gras, I'm afraid, though financial constraints mean no geese are tortured on my behalf (for now, heh).

GMajor, thank you for not saying we all smell like corpses

Koala meat ... Now there's a thought!!

Oh dear, I've started eyeing my cat in a new light.

I like meat, but it has to be incinerated. Blood makes me heave

Hehe...I do often tell my moggie that we're only feeding him to fatten him up for the Christmas pot!

I don't think I want to try veal or fois gras. Normal beef is good enough for me.

Lion sounds really intereting, as does kangaroo

Mummy2B, afaik you only risk food poisoning from meat-eating animals (and fish). You can eat beef & lamb raw, if you're inclined to. Hmm, and koala!

at a succulent rare steak... mmmm cow...

I like the bumper stikcer

'save a Cow... eat a Vegitarian'

I have a lovely Butcher who is very kind and lets me try his experiments... and by experiments i mean when he changes the Chicken feed or gets some Lamb from a different breed rather than anything freaky.

Mmmmm, meat, I love barbeque ribs, tearing the meat off the bones with my teeth and them sucking them dry.

A chicken that is cooked and eaten within a day of slaughter is much more tasty than a week old supermarket bird.

I had kangaroo at a local pub - I think there's a kangaroo farmer somewhere round here. Wonder what he's doing in this weather? They'd need a very big shed!

I hope you'll report back on the lion steaks, NF.

Cheers for the reminder about ribs, Mal. That's on tomorrow's menu

Chickens... Steak Tartare is raw minced steak - the best quality you could find, naturally, with capers, onion, raw egg and anchovies - yummmmmmm....
So is beef carpaccio, looove it.
YOu haven't lived if you haven't tried gorged with alarming regularity on pan fried foie gras with grilled mango and balsamic reduce with a good Sauternes...[droooool]
