I don't know, but I definitely taste a difference between wild caught salmon and farm raised. Farm raised sucks.

If you didn't eat salmon, it wouldn't happen. It's a fairly simple solution.

I always figured meat was the muscles of animals. So I always considered fish to be meat. However, I think biblically they're maybe not? My Catholic roommate would give up meat for lint and eat fish instead.

This salmon entrée is brushed with a honey-Dijon glaze then coated with a simple mixture of chopped pecans and bread crumbs.
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets or steaks
1. Heat oven to 400°F.
2. Blend mustard, butter and honey in a small bowl; set aside. Mix bread crumbs, pecans and parsley in another small bowl; set aside. Season salmon to taste with salt and pepper. Place on a nonstick or vegetable spray-coated baking dish. Brush salmon with mustard-honey mixture. Pat bread crumbs onto top surface of salmon. Bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Makes 4 servings.

:eek: For real? If that is true, why are chicken wings white meat instead of dark meat like the legs?

Does this mean the fins and tail of fish are legs?

This sounds interesting. What kind of syrup? If you had some vegetabels with it that could explain the burps.

Well, there was definitely onion in the salmon...

It was the onion not the salmon. I get the burps when I have onions with my hot dogs and I don't eat salmon hot dogs.

Celebration of flawed character, or complete lack thereof, is just a poor self-delusion aimed at convincing oneself that one's failure at life doesn't matter.

You seem extremely offended that other people may in fact enjoy consuming semi-sentient organisms. So... most of the human race is a failure at life due to its opinions and choice of diet?

fish is meat. It is not vegetable, fuit, or grain, it is meat.

When I was a vegan I used to get so mad at people "but you eat fish right?"

:rolleyes:

I think that mostly comes from coming into contact with people who say they are vegetarian but eat fish, drink milk, and eat eggs.

My (limited) grasp of English and assorted sciences says no. But then, we still don't have, say, lollipops covered.

And no, I'm not asking you to list even more categories, what I'm saying is that I find the concept of equalling fish with meat by means of just excluding it from other categories won't hold water in my books.

Fish is the flesh of a once-living animal.
Beef is the flesh of a once-living animal.
Poultry is the flesh of a once-living animal. And we ask if someone wants dark meat or white meat when carving.

Fish=meat.

It is not vegetable.
It is not mineral.

Dairy is not meat. Some people don't drink or eat it because they hate the taste; some because it makes them ill (lactose intolerance) and some because they feel the conditions under which animals are held to produce it are inhumane.

Eggs I would not categorize as meat, but some people do not eat it because of the conditions under which animals are held to produce them, or because they dislike them or are allergic to the sulfur compounds in them (which is more common than you might think).

Kat, I think you're confusing vegetarians, who just refuse to eat meat (though I don't get the fish part), with vegans. THOSE silly people refuse all animal products, including milk and eggs.

I know the difference, but most don't... or assume that Vegans are claiming to be from outer space. ;)

And yeah, I don't get how fish is not meat either -- therein lies the confusion, methinks.

I thought Vegans WERE from outerspace. ;)

Before I get yelled at, if you ever met my sister's best friend, you too you conclude that. :P

Personally I think it's selective. Meat is anything they don't want to eat.

Thanks, Kat. I hope I made it sufficiently clear in prvious posts that I'm most certainly of the opinion that fish=meat (and just as certainly don't equate dairy products with meat), I just didn't accept Smunkee's argumentation to get there. That, and for a second I really wasn't sure as to whether meat might refer to muscle-related mass only in English. I'm just a hapless foreigner after all :)

You haven't seen how much fun until you've seen a vegatarian at weeny roast. My aunt was camping with us. We were roasting hot dogs over the campfire. She decided she wanted to participate in the roasting, just not the eating. She got really squeamish when it came to skewering the hot dog on the stick. About like some people when it comes to impaling a worm on a fishhook. She finally stabbed it, at which time my step-mom let out a squeal. This caused my aunt to shriek and practically throw the impaled hot dog. Everyone but my aunt loved it.

Though I can say my grandparents weren't there. They're PETA members and once gave me a really hard time about wearing a silk skirt. Poor silkworms.

I don't get in people's faces about their diets unless they themselves bring it up as some sort of compensation for their inadequate moral fibre.
I never thought I would see Fass appealling to people's "moral fibre" (seems a bit.... conservative).

Anyway, *high five* fellow vegetarian.

Is it just the way you tell it, or are most of the people in your locality that speak to you complete idiots?

Clearly. If you eat them, then they won't overbreed and overthrow ecosystems, so thus you are an idiot, pretty much.
If we don't eat animals they won't be bred at all. Are you under the delusion that meat is from wild animals?

I had some like, five hours ago, and I still taste it when I burp...It's a little weird, but it happens everytime...

I think it has something to do with the farming process. I had wild Alaskan salmon about an hour ago, and all I taste is the strawberries I had for dessert.

When you look at how they farm salmon... Ugh! Disgusting.

I stopped eating salmon simply because it tastes awful, no matter how you cook it. And whenever you burp, it reminds you of that foul, rusty taste.
