I get these emails from enature.com occasionally and the lead article today was about meat. Yes, anti-hunting vegetarian fanatics, nature lovers also hunt and eat animals. I thought it was interesting, so I'll share it with you all.
Meat Lovers Unite! Any and all comments related to human carnivority are welcome. Which reminds me. In my hometown there used to be an annual event called the Carnivore's Ball, IIRC. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet of different meat dishes. Kind of a fun idea, I think. :angel4: Personally, I love meat. Every summer me and my family and/or friends have many bbq parties. It's different from American style bbqs, but still quite good. Lots of sizzling meat, sun, beers getting drunk, kids running about. Good times, definitely. :F-A-Q:
Maybe someday. I've never seen it for sale around here. I have seen whale a few times, in the supermarket and in a sushi restaurant, but I didn't try it. My friend says it's really good, but it's color, dark purple, put me off when I saw it. Some day I'll get around to it. For the bbqs it's lamb, chicken, pork, beef and sausages. I really love me some sausages. Sometimes, I have to order some good ol' American Johnsonville brats, etc... online, because the local stores don't have anything good. My basic 4 food groups are Beer, Cheese, Sausage and Bread. At least 3 of those are pretty weak in Japan. Woe is me. Food and nature are the two things I miss most about back home. asssit:
Hank, what is your fucking problem? We get it: you eat meat. You enjoy it. You really like it. Even those of us in the cheap-seats have heard your proclamations. What? You didn't get it enough out of your system on Canna's thread? Hell, you tried to turn into a platform for your own personal geopolitical tirade. This thread wasn't even necessary. I think we all got the picture and pretty much figured you were going to have meat for Thanksgiving. for fucks sake this fucking guy........listen Hank.....ehhhhh.....fuck it.
well i thought it was a good read and i didn't know those things. i guess i've missed some sort of drama again..... sound like you should be living in germany :roffl: they eats tons of your food group, and their sausages and beer are the world's best
Hank, please keep your sexual preferences out of it! We really don't care . . . :kidding: Pardon my cheap humor, sometimes it gets the best of me.:rofl6::alienwink:
Anyone ever been to a Rodizio restaurant? It is a Brazilian/Portuquese thing, pretty much all the meat you can eat. Frickin awesome!!!
What's your problem? We get it: You think Canna is doing a good thing and you support her. That's great. Good for you. It's also totally off-topic. (Isn't there an off-topic smiley. I couldn't find one.) This thread is about meat and is as necessary as any other in the politics or smoker's lounge forum. Yeah, I don't recall any geopolitical tirades. Maybe you could be more specific, or if you'd rather not, just go away.
I knew somebody would say that. :alienwink: :angel4: Mmmmm. Maybe it's genetic. My namesake great grandfather came from Bavaria. I was in Germany a long time ago for 4 days. I remember the food they had on the train platform was a plate with one big sausage, a big piece of dark brown bread and a big dollup of spicy mustard. Very simple fare and very delicious.
Mmmmm. Skewers are nice, aren't they? Here's Japanese style "yakitori" - grilled cuts of chicken. They're small, so you have to eat lots of them. :angel4: How's this for a kebab? In my hometown, there is a greek restaurant that uses that kind of meat (it's layered lamb, beef, chicken) for making gyros. A nice pita bread with slices of that meat, onions, a white cucumber sauce. Very nice. This guy is Turkish and they make the doner kebab, which is also excellent. I've only had them a few times, though.
OOOOhhhh yeah you bet your ass! We had a Brazilian exchange student live with us for a year, who i went to visit after finishing high school. He lived in Sao Paulo and he knew I love meat, so he took me to a Rodizio restaurant right off the bat. It worked something like this- You sat at a table which had a little wheel that you could switch to either red or green. When you switch it to green, it means that you want lots of meat and stat, so between 5 and 10 waiters will line up at your table, all with different kinds of meat. One after the other the waiters come up to your table and tell ya what kind of meat they have, and you can say "yeah I want that shit", or "no thanks, next!". One waiter goes and another comes, until you switch the wheel back to red. Shit, you can eat meat for two hours and never once eat the same meat twice. I payed someting like 7 dollars for everything, including drinks. :droooling:
Anybody ever had frog's legs? I know a place that serves them here and have had them 4 or 5 times. They are quite good. Taste like chicken as they say. I also had an alligator/crocodile arm at that same place. Yup, you guessed it. It tasted like chicken, although was a bit tougher. They also had sparrows. Yeah, sparrows. Weird, huh? My girfriend at the time tried one skewered and grilled. As you might expect, veeeerrry little meat on those little guys. :alienwink: Anybody eaten anything strange like that?
You just reminded me of the bbq restaurants here in Japan. Some of them are all-you-can-eat like that. Like 20 bucks, more like 15 with the nice exchange rates these days, and you can eat all you want for 2 hours. They have refridgerated shelving like in a supermarket with trays of different meats and you load up your plates and trays and cook the stuff on the grill in the center of your table. They also have lots of other things like potato salad, fries, soups, salad bar, rice, deserts, etc... Not somewhere you want to go all the time, because you eat too much, but they are nice after a nice day of snorkeling or hiking or snowboarding or something. Where's the sausages, dude?
you kidding me, I loves me a good Döner Kebab. I eat at least one every week....but its gotta be 100% lamb with a crispy bread.
I hope a wet chicken tastes better than they smell! Now that I'm drooling myself....I found the article interesting. I see now why my chickens do as they do. If they need a burst of speed (and they can MOVE when they want to) they flap their wings and run like a cheetah! It's only for short distances (they can fly short distances too) but it's enough to get them to safety. The really funny thing is how they can spot birds of prey. The roosters make a certain call when a bird of prey flies over. It can be a crow f by and they don't make the noise, but a hawk gets their attention for sure. Kinda cool knowing how their muscles work though. Gives me further insight. :thumbs-up: BTW...I'm a dark meat kinda guy. :anibong:
