    Incidently, €45 return to Cork and it takes almost three hours??! Feck that.
    *goes to check out the bus fares*


    I would LOVE to see you with a sheep on the train, Lucyfur! :D

    Aha so you have seen a sheep in real life :)

    From the train window. Just not up close. I think all sheep are only two inches tall- I'm like Fr. Dougal. :)

    I have been in a field of cows and windmills before (in Holland) and been to Leitrim and Roscommon so I'm not too bad. ;)

    You need a nice Suffolk sheep and a suffolk ram to make nice tender lamb chop babies. But they're not hardy and need a lot of minding.

    Medium lamb chops are the business, and rack of lamb is gorgeous too :D

    I could be a vegetarian, but I like meat too much!

    Lamb is from year old ones. So they're fully grown but haven't really got a full fleece.

    A baby lamb would be all sinew and no meat anyway.

    @Lucy, do you get peckish in the spring time when you see the new lambs in the fields? All I think about is a nice lamb shank. Yum!

    OH's kids one time, they'd never had lamb and didn't eat most of it.

    I was disgusted.

    I don't eat lamb or veal and I don't eat fish.
    But I could eat ALL the cows and chickens!! :D



    Oh, I've just realised that Das Kitty's sig is a Kurt Vonnegut quote! :eek:

    That was the only part of it I didn't like. Wasn't realistic. I loved the wolves though and the big
    fight scene
    was great IMO.

    Does nobody notice that lamb that's ready to eat smells exactly like a real live sheep? :( revolting. That and beef are the two meats that make my skin crawl when I see people digging into :(

    We are having lamb shank next week, it's dirt cheap, have you noticed?

    How can you eat cows and not veal? Now I don't eat veal due to the way they are killed so young so they have no life, so is that it?

    I could never eat dog or horse, had rabbit loads when I was a kid.

    For me dogs and horses are companion animals, the rest are edible animals.

    However if I had chickens e.g. and Mildred was dinner, we'd probably spend a minute reflecting on Mildreds life and thanking her for providing dinner.

    I probably sound mad as a brush?

    You'd hate me I eat fillet steak blue. 45 seconds each side raw on the inside and no resting.

    Well it is a very distinctive flavour, some people just don't like it. Still, I'd have eaten it!

    I've never had veal. Fish is nice though, except Salmon (unsmoked).

    Medium rare steak with garlic butter is my foodgasm.

    Yes. It's just creepy that it's a baby animal. :o

    I could never raise an animal for meat. I could never eat anything that I had cuddled! :pac:

    You'd hate me! I eat my steak well done/burned to a cinder.

    May as well go out and just put a coat on a cow to warm it and munch away.

    A movie about vampires and werewolves wasn't realistic? Shock horror! :pac:

    We have chickens at home for eggs and whenever we have chicken for dinner Mam tells them "if ye stop laying eggs, you're next." My sister freaks though, and has to go out and comfort them. And sure they haven't a notion of what's going on.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 17,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭Das Kitty


    I could eat any animal humanely raised and slaughtered.

    That said, I've definitely eaten meat that hasn't been humanely raised. You can't buy a whole chicken for three quid and expect it to have lead a good life. I mostly buy organic chicken these days, but in restaurants, it's hard to tell.

    I've eaten horse, reindeer, puffin.

    In Iceland whole sheep heads are a delicacy. Wouldn't touch one with a barge pole, they looked vile in the service station fridge.

    No. See, I only eat the ones I don't know and I know all the sheep I see on a regular basis
