@mariner4life You think you love it because of the taste. But actually it's because it makes you feel wealthy, masculine and powerful over the poor and nature.
Right?
-
@MajorRage I tend to feel poor after buying a rib eye, but hey, it does make me feel masculine, especially after cooking it on an open fire with a beer in one hand!
-
@MajorRage i feel like that anyway, it hardly needs reinforcing. But if it's a side-effect, then bonus!
-
@taniwharugby you disgust me, bet you are a rugby fan too.
-
@MajorRage that, and I was a big Tiger fan too!
-
@taniwharugby delicious

@mariner4life This lady and one time vegetarian would tend to agree with you

I particularly love this section
"One morning I woke up and said: 'I want a beef burger.' So I went to a restaurant in Bangalow and I ordered the organic beef burger and I said: 'No chips, no bread.' The guy looked at me and said: 'Well you won't have much to eat then.'
"I took one mouthful and it was like every pore that was in my body just lapped it up. Then I went back three days in a row and ordered the same beef burger and by the end of the third day, I didn't have whooping cough anymore."
Awesome

Here's an interesting article. Ok, it's not. It's awful. But I felt the need to post it somewhere purely for this line:
"We humans like power and that's precisely what meat stands for. It stands for wealth, for masculinity and for power over the poor and over nature."
Why we can't afford our addiction to meat
When meat companies buy into veggie burgers you know things are changing. Tyson, the largest meat processor in the US is investing in Beyond Meat, a company that creates burgers not from beef, but plants the New York Times reported in October.

Do any of you eat liver or kidneys? I've never really liked them especially after gutting lambs and seeing the kidneys all wrapped up in a ball of fat.
Hell no. I remember a bunch of us got together last year for a fry up during an ABs morning World Cup game. Obviously Bacon ( surely the food of the gods ), farm fresh eggs and sausages, black pudding and beans came out in force......but one joker brought along chicken liver which our host fried up almost as an afterthought. Obviously the aforementioned foods got demolished but the livers pretty much remained untouched.
I think that social experiment speaks volumes.

@MN5 my dad ate all kinds of stuff that I wouldn't eat like cows tongues , liver, kidneys, pancreas and all the other shit that should be buried in a hole and a tree planted on it. It must be a generational thing , mind you its best not to think too hard about what goes into a sausage [hint, lips and arseholes].

I had Grouse once at some swanky restaurant in London, cost a fortune as their is a finite amount and a small season.. and it must be shot.
It was horrible, tasted like Liver and I almost cracked my teeth on the shot that they hadn't removed.

Their whisky is pretty ordinary too.

@canefan one of my best mates was a MAF inspector at AFFCO and he said if you saw what went into the cheap sausages or patties you buy, you wouldnt buy them.
Guess thats the same with most things, ignore what it takes to get to the end product
Things have changed alot since back then though, people are more aware.
I know when I was working at KFC there were all sorts of 'urban legends' about shit that happened, which didnt.

So having reached nearly 40 years of age and having NEVER touched coleslaw based on what I've heard goes into the sauce are you saying I've been wrong all these years ?
