That was in answer to your question btw. But no not something I'd be interested tbh.

Indeed. Then someone brought up cannabis farming. You can never tell what with Boards lol.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jackfruit farming. That's another one. Tasty fcukers them.

Did you have roosters? I like roosters. I learned about real alpha males from roosters. I spent time on a farm in America and every night I'd have to throw a bowl full of carrot shavings and the like into the enclosure, which was full of about nine hens and one big rooster.

My rooster does that. Often I just give him the treats and he passes them on to the hens one by one. I like to do it that way as he feels he's contributing that way. They have a very distinct noise they make when they're trying to gather the rest around some good food. I've also had chickens who would queue outside while the rooster pecked the back door to get attetion for snacks. They're particularly fond of grated cheese.

Ah Yurt. Your posts are pure unadulterated eejitey. But hey we would be disappointed with anything else :pac:

You do know that wasnt in reply to you yeah? And did it take you all night to think that up lol?

As for the little happy clapper limpets stuck to the arse of that - what can I say hehe.

A few years ago ended up with a couple of roosters. Christ but those feckers could pick a fight and would fall out over a bit of grass, another chicken you name it. They were screeching and squawking and upsetting everyone else tbh. They'd also beat the ****e out of each other night noon and morning. Thankfully it was stopped when herself made a very nice coq au vin out of one of them ...

My "to watch" list is a bit long though. I still want to watch that movie where the Car Tyre attains sentience and rolls around murdering people. Wasnt that new zealand too? Those guys have some surreal movie ideas.

Yeah he started a humorous thread and it got hijacked by old reliable (that's you, G) and his vegan hating ways. That's what actually happened. You must be great at the old gaslighting, watch out ladies.

Sure anyone with eyes can read the first page of the thread and see what happened. Nobody said nothing about farming, until Gozunda turned up armed for battle with a vegan horde that never materialised so in his brave defence of farming against vegans he unfortunately ended up fighting a couple of farmers :pac:

Though I do admire the strength and depth of self belief and confidence that allows you to somehow think this thread went well for you Goz.

Anyways I had nachos with "cheese" made out of carrots for lunch there hope everyone else's day is going well too.

Lol. Yeah he started a humourous thread and got attacked by the usual bunch of angry ones who couldnt see the humour. And you reckon others shouldn't point that type of ****e out? Really hehe.

Would you give over with trying to start a fight btw. Jeez h christ you'd fight with a signpost. I reckon thinking about all that wacky baccy must be paranoid inducing or something

But yeah funnily enough - the same eejitery only served to prove the OPs point. That it was humourous only makes it all the funnier

Just adding this one as it's more of the same - no point wasting space tbh if that's ok with you

Yeah the thread went downhill about the time electro~bitch turned up for a full frontal assault electro b~fest calling other poster (me) a "shrill" and other rather unpleasant things. Didnt even pretend to reply to the topic of the thread and kept at lol. And then some random narcistic comments about being tall etc and some backtracking telling us that farmers are sometimes nice when you need to get a car towed. Yada yada Like anyone feking is interested. Btw the first comments about farming (9 times on first page) and meat (54 times on first page) were included long before I posted. I mentioned farming by reply just once on that page lol.

But yeah heres a lot of wannabe cannabis 'farmers' on here alright. But I'm not sure they actually qualify.

Yeah had a lovely lunch of a beef salad with fresh fruit afterwards. Very nice thank you.

Anyway back on topic.

I always learn _something_ from these threads even when they go awry. Seems there is no end to things about vegans I am entirely ignorant of!

For example I only this week learned that some vegans can not / will not eat almonds, avocados, kiwis, melon and squash.

Which is mad as if I had a vegan coming to my house these may have been some of the first things I would have got in for them. Especially as I tend to do quite a lot with almonds in general.

I think I have learned to make zero assumptions. If a vegan comes my way - I am just going to have to ask rather than offer as to what I can do for them.

I did not know that either actually. I only really know one person who is properly vegan and he tends to feed himself at gatherings. Brings little bags of stuff and works away. God love them they are like food outcasts

No I wouldn't. No it isn't.

Again, I did not bring up cannabis farming, I just called you out on something you said about it. So why you keep implying anyone arguing against you is a stoner, I do not know. Clinging on for life I guess.

Is it down to environmental reasons as opposed to cruelty or believing that they have souls?

Hehehe beef.

No - It seems part of the vegan philosophy for some people is any use of animals without their consent.

Certain vegetable products involve the unnatural use of bees. Forcing them to work or live in a way that is against their normal nature.

So products produced using animals - even ones like grapes and nuts which you might have thought entirely vegan - can seemingly be off the menu for some vegans.

As another user wrote this week on another thread - every day is a school day for me!

Its that they are pollinated by bees, Emmet. I want to meet the vegan who says its because they have souls though

Deebles McBeebles wrote: »

I think - correct me if I am wrong - that products pollinated by bees are generally ok?

It is when you have to force - trick - or somehow modify the bees normal habitat and behaviours to get that pollination that it becomes a problem?

Actually it is probably both when I think about it. I bet there are groups in both camps.

hehehe NUTjob. The puns are flowing today.

To be honest I do not know the statistics. Nor does it seem _that_ nuts to me either. After all if your vegan philosophy is based around not wanting to press animals into labour to produce for us - then the thing with bees makes perfect sense and is not nuts at all.

But what would I know? I hunt and kill my own fish and rabbit - and keep and get slaughtered my own geese and chicken. I am the last person to be asking for deep knowledge on vegan systems of thought!

The only thing I appear to share with them is a horror at some of our modern farming practices.

I think it's something to do with the bee dying and being absorbed into the plant. Most vegans aren't that strict though. Some are a bit mad, i got bawled out of it once for eating a slice of bread with added vitamin d or e which apparently comes from lanolin, a byproduct of wool manufacture.

Not as much as a vegan would struggle eating you. They don't have the jaw strength you see.

A few more vegan facts:

Vegans are all left handed, the lack of left handed cutlery is actually what turned them vegan in the first place.

Vegans are usually named Karl or funnily enough, Kobi.

Vegans will only walk on the cracks in the path on 3 out of the 7 days.

Vegans always greet one another by raising the big toe on their right foot but you cannot see this unless they are an extremist vegan who would usually be barefoot or wearing disgusting hemp sandles.

Is it a vegan “fetish” you’ve got, D?

I, personally, know a number of vegans and vegetarians. Only one of them would be “promoting” the lifestyle and even she wouldn’t be giving anyone grief for how they eat.The others you’d only find out if you were eating with them or taking about food.

The way some people are going on you’d swear the vegans were in our school’s teaching 4 year olds about **** and if they eat meat a cow will kill their parents.

It is funny that I go the other way ethically on those things. I find that I am _happy_ that every part of the animal has a use in this way.

Think it would be much worse if we were killing the cow - hacking off the steaks - and then binning the rest.

I was lucky enough to go fishing in Norway once with my dad as part of a trip organised by a fishing club. They use every single part of the fish for _something_. Even the eyes and the tail and the bones.

When I fish in Ireland usually on the way back the lads in the boat are hacking off the head - tail - and pulling out the bones and seeing if they can hit the sea gulls with them for sport.

I am already planning Christmas dinner myself. 4 animal types in the works for it. Three of them bird one of them not. I hope I show them the proper respect and gratitude as part of the process of preparation and eating.

I teach my kids the same - even if they do not finish all their dinner I always insist they finish the meat - or I will for them if they do not. An animal died to make that meal - I am not throwing any part of it in any bin if I do not have to. I try to teach them to have that same respect.

I can not remember which news paper it was now but when the Celtic Tiger started to die off you could _smell_ the privilege it left behind in the quote of one young woman who said things were getting so bad she actually had to use the left over from Sunday roast in sandwiches of a Monday instead of buying something new.

Fair play, its definitely the right way to think about it. Your kids will no doubt pass that on too.

The days after xmas spring to mind immediately, turkey curry, turkey sandwiches...bloody delicious.

With regard to "opinionated vegetable eaters"

Heres a good article - some nice recipes as well

Not quite what the OP had in mind I think but hey we're nearly halfway to Christmas and roast vegetables are always a good accompaniment to the traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings ...

We've got a lot of opinionated vegetable eaters over here at my house. Some kiddos love cauliflower, some kiddos loathe it. Artichokes are the worst thing for one kid, and the most exciting thing on the dinner table for another. To keep mealtime waste at a minimum, I roast several veggies options

Hate the turkey myself. A meat I avoid with a passion. Hence there will be three birds on my table. Turkey for the traditionalists - goose and duck for me! I have the goose already. Name Gus by the children for reasons I can not fathom. They love getting the eggs for me.

Rabbit then for the people who just do not like bird at all.

Where would you stand on slaughter houses in the States using “every” part of the pig. In most places the only part left unused is the “bung”, as in the arsehole.

But some have been known to sell on the “bung” and it’s marketed as “imitation” calamari. Of course, they didn’t always use the “imitation” part.

Apparently, when cooked, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. As a calamari eater, and having eaten it in the States, I’m pretty concerned I may have eaten pig’s sphincter.

I think we should all be concerned about that.

Hahaha jesus, E. Its all I'll think about from now on.

Any stories from your "calamari" days worthy of mention in the etiquette thread?

Hate the turkey myself. A meat I avoid with a passion. Hence there will be three birds on my table. Turkey for the traditionalists - goose and duck for me! I have the goose already. Name Gus by the children for reasons I can not fathom. They love getting the eggs for me.

Rabbit then for the people who just do not like bird at all.

I'd go for goose any day as well. Flavour is better and they are truely free range birds. And love Rabbit!

What do you do with the goose eggs btw?

Authentic BBQ pit masters use all of the pig, including the dinger.

Where would you stand on slaughter houses in the States using “every” part of the pig. In most places the only part left unused is the “bung”, as in the arsehole.

Well it depends what "every part" is being used for of course! I mean when I say I am happy that every part is used - I did not mean to imply that I want every part to be used specifically as food!

What I mean is that I am happy that every last part of an animal serves _some_ function.

_That_ is a good thing. If every last part of an animal killed in service of humanity goes to some useful and beneficial function rather than some parts just having to be disposed of - then that makes me quite happy indeed.

EDIT: But actually there are very few parts of most animals I would not at least eat once. I am open to trying anything even your feux calamari. After all I did enjoy a good broth of Human Placenta a couple of times too

You reminded me of a passage I read in a Terry Pratchett book only last night as it happens.

"Thats right" said Throat, “Hot sausages, two for a dollar, made of genuine pig, why not buy one for the lady?"

“Don't you mean pork, sir?” said Carrot warily, eyeing the glistening tubes.

“Manner of speaking, manner of speaking,” said Throat quickly. “Certainly your actual pig products. Genuine pig.”

Good man, T. Any meat that requires jam to make it palatable has no place on the dinning table.

I should point out that I have still ordered the “calamari” since finding out about the potentially odious origins of the “product”.

Thankfully, no, I’ve got a good constitution when it comes to the breaded “rings”. So far, anyway.

Scramble usually. Or fry. Rarely anything else.

Another boards user just told me that his new company in his new job have an annual Ostrich Egg thing. Sent me pictures of them opening the egg with a drill. And a huge hanging metal circle thing over a bar-b-que being used to scramble them all. Must have been 6 foot in diameter holding solely scrambled eggs.

He is living in an area where they still eat a lot of horse too. Whole butchers working with nothing but horse meat in his town.

I told him if I do not get an invite for next year - he is off my Christmas dinner list this year. I will see if I can get him to come here and post the photos. Or perhaps there is a thread where it would be better posted - this clearly is not likely the place for it.

About them vegans lads
