Meat advertising

Annasopra

Have you ever noticed how meat is advertised. The Irish and UK supermarkets have nearly all pictures of cooked meat. On the other hand the German supermarkets have nearly all pictures of raw meat. It's kind of weird - I often why Germans rarely have cooked meat in the pictures of their advertising.

This isnt the type of meat I wanted to talk about

I can honestly say it's not something I have ever given any thought to!

Only ever saw raw meat in Irish ads.

In the supermarkets. Then when they're advertising in the paper or a leaflet it can be either way.

But take a look - Irish/UK supermarkets like Dunnes/Tesco/Superquinn are predominantly cooked whereas Lidl/Adi is predominantly raw

Maybe it was cooked to look less like horse meat?

I think Germans are more comfortable that what there eating is an actual animal and like French people have no problem eating veal( calves(baby cows) which no one in UK and Ireland eats as its "cruel")and horse is really popular( no one in Ireland would eat this ever). Where as in Ireland and UK people dont seem have the connection that what they are eating was a living thing but rather just food, but Germans have no issue with it. Like Irish people dont like to see a head on a duck or a chicken like people in France do.

Just had a look at the main supermarket's websites there and it's a bit of both really - mostly raw though.

We seem to have become a nation preoccupied with 'the Germans'.

The national past-time seems to be taking a Ryanair flight to Frankfurt or Berlin and coming home and reporting all the great stuff the Germans are at. Worse are the Irish expats who live over there and feel the need to impress us with how sensible the Germans are over every facet of their lives.

I draw the line at implying that we do not elucidate the fact that meat comes from animals. The whole country is gone German mad.

lol.. Irish people.

Before the Germans; the Brits.. Before the Brits the Vikings

Has there ever been a period in Irish history when people were just happy to be who they are?

AH is like a soup kitchen for self loathers anyway.

The Backwards Man

I follow a simple rule when buying food.

If something needs a picture on the label to show you what it is, it's probably shite.

Personally prefair me sausie raw. Cooked it a few times round the mothers with the fish fryer, you know the deep ones. wasnt ever the same, defo not worth it. Definately better just buying it cooked next time instead of raw, dunno why they sell them raw

Yes, it's cruel...not merely because the animal is young, you do know how veal is produced right? It's been unpopular in the US, Ireland, and UK for decades now.

The superquinn/super value "we'll keep the saussages but everything else is going to s***e" ads have raw saussages. And mince on offer is usually pictured raw in a prepack for all supermarkets.

As an aside, I like the way anything which shows the cooked product with maybe a sprig of parsley says "serving suggestion" as though someone is going to take a sale of goods complaint for their food to not to come out of the box piping hot or that they were cheated out of some parsley.

How bout apples?


You know when you go to the shop, why are so many of the apples not covered? Any dirty aul bastard would be coughing and sputtering around them. You'd think they'd have a sneeze guard or something at least.

Apples are good though. I like Granny Smith's the most I think, though I'm partial to an odd red apple occasionally too.

Apples, eh?

Could be aul lads pulling themselves off over them too. "Oh Granny Smith, I've always wanted to cop a feel of your sweet apples." Think about that next time you sink your teeth into an apple.

BeerWolf

What about advertising meat with a smiling character of the animal related to that meat? Promoting animal cannibalism/serial killers?!

:pac:

Thank God for that. All that came before the Germans were those bloody Scandinavians. I much prefer Ze Germans.
