Kill it, cook it, eat it.

It's a great program, very informative, if I'm not mistaken bbc did this a couple of years ago (may be the same program repeated)

I've seen cows born, raised and killed and butchered. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. It always strikes me as funny that if some tribesman on television takes down a boar and eats it, he is applauded for practicing his ancient culture. When farmer Joe sends another load off to the mart to be butchered we must question this. No difference. Humans evolved to kill and eat meat. We just do it differently than the bloke with the bow and arrow. How lucky we are to have a country that has grass and rain.

I personally have no problem with this program, it has sofar actually made me think more about my choice of butcher (Superquinn) and I am looking for recommendations in my area, Knocklyon D16.

There is nothing wrong with eating the meat of any animal unless of course its a protected species. Why draw a line?

Are you enjoying the moral high ground up there in the trees?

Interesting show last night (why are the same threads repeated on boards now every week + why not in the tv forum?)

Very important to do that in the correct order.

Especially after you've had a few on a Saturday night.

D'ya know something?

I fúcking hate preachy vegetarians. I like meat. In fact, I fúcking love meat. Veal is fúcking delicious. Would I eat dog? Why wouldn't I? If it tastes good, it's getting ate. I'd eat fúcking long pig (human) if I had to.

Have I killed any of my meat? No. Why? I don't have to. There's an industry that does it for me.

Same reason I don't have to clean shít out of my sewers. I don't have to. There's an industry that does it for me.

Just fúck off with your holier than thou fúcking attitude, and go have a bacon sammidge. Ya never know, it might do you some good and help you deal with the fact that I don't fúcking.

Do you honestly think that if cows didn't taste so good, that they'd still be around in any great numbers?

So in essence, killing and eating beef is ensuring that they won't die out. How'd ya like them apples?

I know! I love veal! There just seems to be some kind of stigma attached to eating veal that there isn't with lamb.

Probably because people don't make the connection that lamb is a baby animal.

Ye see,

Lamb = That meat from (baby, but we don't mention that bit) sheep.
Mutton = We don't really eat that here. But that's really the meat from sheep. Tastes good if cooked low and slow. Can make great curries.

Veal = That meat from calves. Ye know, baby cows? With their big brown eyes.
Beef = That meat from cows. They've been alive for ages. Taste good as well.

Lyssa · 21-03-2013 03:31AM

Husband hunts, there's usually animal of some description hanging in our shed. Meat is Organic, and fresh and I know where it's come from.
Our kids know where their meat comes from, would love to be completely self-sufficient in this regard, but not at that stage yet....

I keep chickens and geese. I fish. I also lay traps for wild rabbit.

I have offed them all and eaten them. Though with the goose I got _some_ help from a local butcher after I offed it. Not because I did not want to do it myself for any reason - solely because I am not equipped with the best equipment for parts of the job.

I do not see an issue - moral or otherwise - but I still would recommend everyone kill and eat their own meat at some point in their lives.

Hoop66 · 21-03-2013 10:26AM

Nothing better than catching a fish/shooting a rabbit or pigeon and then eating it.

Fuck me I'm hungry.

Do you find that alleviates hunger? I find sex an appetite promoter not a suppressant.

Erm, no. Veal isn't usually just a baby cow, it's a baby cow strapped down from birth so it can't move.

It's one thing I would not eat because of how it's produced.

While calves are young and most vulnerable to disease, they are kept in hutches, which keep them isolated and restrict movement so as to prevent connective tissue from developing, as the taste of veal raised in this manner is considered desirable

The meat is more tender as they aren't using any muscle.

Shenshen · 21-03-2013 10:40AM

I'm Vegetarian already anyway.
But I have in the past killed chickens on my uncle's farm, and helped slaughtering pigs.

I think there certainly is something to be said for the approach "If you couldn't kill it, don't eat it". I had a friend at university who was pescetarian for that exact reason, she realised one day that the meat she was eating came from an animal that she wouldn't be able to bring herself to kill. So she stopped eating meat. I felt that it was a very morally honest approach.

There is different grades of veal these days. Rose veal and free-raised veal, for instance, are raised to higher standards.

Veal is usually the male calves from dairy cows. This means they are either raised for veal, or killed and used for bob veal or discarded.

Kill it, cook it, eat it.
