Ok folks, it is time for the Great Meat Debate! What is your favorite meat? Vegetarians' comments are not requested.

Without a doubt, Chicken.

Vegetarian: TOFU!!!

Now, but seriously, define meat. Like type or animal?

Anything raw but still warm

depends.

I like a well seasoned and well cooked steak.

but I love teriyaki Pork...

Chicken is a staple in my cooking repretoire...

and I can't say no to fried fish...

Shrimp Tempura always tempts me...

and crab? bring it on!

Anything raw but still warm

Sashimi!!!! :D

Pork. Its the meat of kings, so I've heard.

Dear leafeater, unfortunately I only had up to 10 poll choices to choose from and you posted before the poll went up.

I loved that comment!

Didn't notice the seafood option (it's not meat!), so voted for bird white. Actually I like beef more, but mostly stay with white meat, as it's easier to cook (doesn't require garnish).

Well royalty are generally pigs.

Venison. Speaking of, tomorrow is the beginning of deer rifle season back home, and I won't be there for it :(

Of course, to celebrate the occasion my unit is hosting a viewing of Escanaba in da Moonlight (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180679/). Of course, I'll be working so I won't be able to watch...

Why no squirrel?

Prime rib of beef.

How in the hell is seafood 'not meat', it's the flesh of an animal right? It's not from a mammal, neither is Turkey, it's not red meat, but neither is pork. What is your definition of meat?

Sorry, but when I was vegan I got really REALLY tired of the "but you eat fish right?" No. I didn't eat any animals nor anything that came from them.

Shit, this is tough (no pun intended). Mmmm, moose and bovine steak are both good. So are pork chops. And I love pork ribs. Bison makes the best hamburger, much leaner than beef. Turkey is great in sandwiches. Grouse is tasty, but you need a lot of 'em. And bacon fried up with maple syrup is absolutely awesome in the mornings. Wild salmon = best fish ever.

I have to go with Beef, good all the time.

For all my love of the pork, other meats deserve an honourable mention. I had a mixed grill today with steak, chicken, lamb, bacon, sausages. Its all good shizzle, even if I do ultimately prefer the piggies. I think veggies must be mad to miss out on the meaty goodness. Only downside is the pub seemed to have cooked the meal in a blast furnace.

*Is inspired by all the meaty talk to repeatedly listen to "Singing Burgers with Attitude" by Ultimate Army of Prawns*

Mmm, we likes turkey. White? Dark? Who cares, so long as it's turkey.

Oh, and I don't really care for meat, it pretty much disgusts me.

Why no squirrel?

Squirrel is also awesome.

Oh, and I don't really care for meat, it pretty much disgusts me.

Morally or taste wise? Or both?

Duck!

Fuck I'm hungry.

Morally or taste wise? Or both?

I don't attach any morality to it, it's meat, I mean you probably shouldn't abuse the animals, or something because that would be wrong, but I don't think it's immoral to eat meat.

I guess it's not really the taste either, although I don't think any of it tastes good. Lots of other food tastes good, like asparagus or carrots or beans. Meat is just....I guess, it's the idea of it, the smell of it raw, the pictures in my head of when my uncle slaughtered my pet cow in front of me. It's just gross.

Fair enough.

Are you a Yooper? It's a bad movie to begin with, but I could definitely seeing Yoopers being particularly offended by it.

I love lamb so much... with mint sauce. :)

I'm reminded of a line from this movie I saw a long time ago, "Snake: the other other OTHER white meat!"

In all reality though, I used to eat Chicken at least once a day, and it is still my favorite food item. Followed closely by bagels with cream cheese. *nods*

but I know how you feel. after getting my crays, I kinda lost my apptite for crabs, shrimp and such...

Pork! http://www.buddy-icons.info/img/smile/1733.gif

Live and wriggling. Death screams are the sweetest sauce, oh yes.

Sorry, but when I was vegan I got really REALLY tired of the "but you eat fish right?" No. I didn't eat any animals nor anything that came from them.
I know some vegetarians that eat fish (although I can't say the same for vegans). I imagine it's just cultural; for some reason, seafood and meat have always been considered something separate. Just look at the Catholic tradition of eating fish on Fridays because you're not allowed to eat meat.

I voted for seafood. There are bigger differences among the tastes of seafood than among the taste of mammals or even birds.

You forgot to put American, the Other other white meat.

You forgot to put American, the Other other white meat.

But Americans are inedible! :D

You forgot to put American, the Other other white meat.

For some reason American falls under dark bird meat. Don't ask me why, I didn't make the rules.

But Americans are inedible! :D

True that. The fat content is generally far too high. Death follows after only a few bites:p

How in the hell is seafood 'not meat', it's the flesh of an animal right? It's not from a mammal, neither is Turkey, it's not red meat, but neither is pork. What is your definition of meat?
1. What is sold in the "meat" section. Fish is usually in the "fish" section.

2. What I have to shoot rather than merely troll.

True that. The fat content is generally far too high. Death follows after only a few bites:p

Worse than McDonalds! :eek:

Oi, what's with the stereotypes...

Steady now, thats an awfully big claim to make:p

Oi, what's with the stereotypes...

Exactly. Americans only seem fatty because you Britons can't cook water. I'm sure if you ask your French friends, they'll tell you what a delicacy we are. :wink:

Nonsense. We are perfectly capable of cooking water. In fact, I've just now put a bottle of water in the microwave, set to full power for 45 minutes.

Good lamb is tastylicious. Birdwise, I quite like duck.

Steak!

Ok folks, it is time for the Great Meat Debate! What is your favorite meat? Vegetarians' comments are not requested.

Man oh man! What a tough decision. I picked beef but I also love the dark meat of chicken, most fish (including squid, shrimp, and shell fish) and lamb.
Pork is OK but not one of my preferred meats as it is easily overcooked and comes out rather dry just like white meat chicken.

Mrs C is in Louisiana taking care of getting the new house set up and closed. I'm here in OK land still working and trying to get this house sold. I can't wait until I retire, get to Louisiana, and get some of Mrs C's great curries and oriental dishes. Oh, and experiment with some Cajun food.

Can you tell I've been living off frozen dinners? Mrs Calendar is my new semi favorite cook although I went to an Indian restaurant for lunch yesterday and a Korean one for lunch today. Oh so good, so good.

There's a lot at steak in this thread. Emotions will be raw, and there could be blood.

Man.

You forgot venison.

Seafood is the top of my list, but I don't consider it meat.

Steak can be great, but fatty. Chicken gets boring. I love me some duck though.

Ok folks, it is time for the Great Meat Debate! What is your favorite meat? Vegetarians' comments are not requested.

As much as I enjoy a good steak, I don't think there's anything better than a properly prepared Thanksgiving turkey (white meat).

I'm a vegetarian. Though I do have fish every once and awhile so I go with seafood.

Filet mignon done rare or seared tuna sashimi-style.

Are you a Yooper? It's a bad movie to begin with, but I could definitely seeing Yoopers being particularly offended by it.

Good lord no. I'm originally from Troy but I live in what they call "northern" Michigan now. I try to avoid the UP if possible.

Beef of course.

Good lord no. I'm originally from Troy but I live in what they call "northern" Michigan now. I try to avoid the UP if possible.

As do all civilized people. I grew up on the edge of "Up North" (Mt. Pleasant area) but spent a year in Sault Sainte Marie. I know the Soo isn't nearly as Yooper as places like Escanaba or Menominee, but damn they're some strange people.

Where is the "all of the above" button?

Only requirments I have is that it is dead and has either scales or four legs or less (lobsters, crab and shrimp are the exception). Don't mind blood or bones much, or internal organs if prepared properly.

The thought of killing all of those innocent plants for food--I mean they are doing such a great job reclaiming all of our carbon emmisions--it brings me to tears.

I selected seafood. I love salmon, trout, bass, tilapia, lobster, clams .... . But, I also love everything on the list except spam and mutton (I've never tried mutton, so I can't say if I like it or not).

Poll sucks. No "horse" option.

Lamb. No surprises there.

Ok folks, it is time for the Great Meat Debate! What is your favorite meat? Vegetarians' comments are not requested.

MY favourite type of meat? About 17cm long, 7cm thick and hard.

Soy.

I don't think I've ever heard a metric scale used for this sorta thing...

Can't get my head around those imperial measurements, sorry.

I'm surprised it took that long for someone to say this.

Always happy to oblige ;)

Can't get my head around those imperial measurements, sorry.
I measure distances by miles and cocks by inches.

Always have, always will.

Beef, venison, bison, antelope, goat, and horse flesh in a six way tie, followed by pork, fowl, lamb/mutton, and crustaceans in a tie for second.

For fowl: pheasant, quail, dove, goose, duck, wild turkey, "good" commercial chicken and turkey, and supermarket chicken and turkey, in that order...

Duck!

:::ducks::: What - are the PETAites around or something???

I'm reminded of a line from this movie I saw a long time ago, "Snake: the other other OTHER white meat!"
Poll sucks. No "horse" option.

Not sure if those were jests, as both snake and horse flesh are indeed tasty.

Gator's good too.

I don't think I've ever heard a metric scale used for this sorta thing...

I guess I'm too used to J porn...

Beef is quite good.

And that oen time I had buffalo was alos quite tasty.

And of course, bacon. Apple cider cured bacon is just amazing.

I measure distances by miles and cocks by inches.

Always have, always will.
I'd rather have 22 cm than 9 inches. Even if latter is, technically, a tiny bit longer, the former still sounds better.

You forgot to put American, the Other other white meat.But Americans are inedible! :D

Bite me ;)

Bite me ;)

Ah, it's all blood.

*Bites*

Surf n' Turf.

how about .000142 miles?

Man.

Let us be politically correct.

Woman/Man.

Pork! http://www.buddy-icons.info/img/smile/1733.gif
Aye.

Ok folks, it is time for the Great Meat Debate! What is your favorite meat? Vegetarians' comments are not requested.

Seriously, dude. I'm not a vegetarian and I'm pissed off by that comment.





I like duck. And I don't mind prawns or fish. It really depends on how it's cooked. I don't eat much meat, but when I go out I probably eat a lot of chicken.

Surf n' Turf.

I thought it was Reef and Beef?

I want to have that next time I go to this beautiful restaurant/hotel down near the bay.

Kudos to everyone in the lamb category. :)

Pork! http://www.buddy-icons.info/img/smile/1733.gif

That's one of the cutest piggy gifs I've seen in a while.
And it makes want to have 'chuletas can can' right now! Om nom nom nom!!

Let us be politically correct.

Woman/Man.

Fine, Human.

Definitely sea food, especially salmon. I have an insatiable appetite for sushi.

Lamb, most definitely.

vennison. the REAL 'free range' meat.

Ok folks, it is time for the Great Meat Debate! What is your favorite meat? Vegetarians' comments are not requested.

I've tried many different kinds of meat, they're all pretty much the same.

It's weird that you put "seafood" in the poll, because unless you mean "sea mammal" (and I hope not) then it isn't meat.

I had some bacon in a fried rice dish tonight. It was tasty (it tasted of salt actually, but whatever.)

I'm really not sure if the meat is making me act like an asshole, or if it's just an excuse to myself to act like an asshole. In any case, I regret eating the meat.

Not sure if those were jests, as both snake and horse flesh are indeed tasty.

Gator's good too.


I like horse meat, both in the stew (if you're in Verona, go for pastisada de caval and in the steak versions. Donkey is even better (stewed in milk).
As for snake and gators, I never tried, and they don't appeal very much to me - you know, reptilians, yuck. Frogs are good, though, so I wonder a bit about snakes.

Human

Mmm Owl

I'd rather have 22 cm than 9 inches. Even if latter is, technically, a tiny bit longer, the former still sounds better.

Hehe... but it's not the sound that matters, is it? ;)

i do not see how mussle tissue, whatever life form its origen, can be called other then meat. to call fish meat not meat is an entirely cultural and mythological pretention that defies any sort of objective logic. and i do mean true fish, as well as any other marine life form that isn't a plant.

at any rate, while some internal organs do not apeal to me as a nutrition source. i can't say as i've tasted any muscle tissue of any organism that didn't appeal to me. although there ARE many varieties i've never had the opportunity to sample.

i'm told the flesh of entirely preditory life forms, is unappealing. never had the chance as far as i know, i might take their word for it. but then, aren't there quisines that Do use dog and even cat? both of which ARE preditors.

i suppose the thought of vulture meat is unappealing and possible dangerous. again i don't really know. but some of the things chickens supposedly eat.

and then there's canabalism and inforced disguiesed canabalism feed to animals raised specificly for us to eat. i've heard somewhere spongiform enciphalitus appears at least statistically to be closely linked to this proccess, the bovine form have once been known as mad cow, and the human form alzhiemers and parkinsons.

and i have heard eating pork, which is somehow related to human 'monkey' meat is closely related. bear is like pork, only a LOT 'chewier', like chewing on something so tough its hard even to bit through it, that is, unless it's marinated correctly (which the sample i had wasn't, it tasted good, but man, dam near broke my jaw chewing on it)

and no, it DON'T all "taste like chicken". but some of it might not taste like anything previously tasted.

Hotdog, a Dog that's Hot?

What about snakes, cats, kangaroo, alligator, bear, monkey, etc?

Why isn't there "others" on that list?

As for me, I actually like beef. But I wanted to point out that eating a cow is not inherently more moral than eating any other animals. Excluding humans maybe. But even that I will really question if cannibalism is so bad, in cases when the person die naturally and have given consent to be eaten. Versus say growing a cow in an industrial farm.

I've been trying to resist for several pages, but I'm afraid the God of bad puns commandeth me to sayeth...

I'd nibble YOUR Meat Pole anyday.

There. Its done. Continue.

I've never eaten a mammal which I could mistake for fish. Nor a fish which I could mistake for mammal. They taste different!

I think you're saying that they are both meat in that they are of the animal kingdom. I say one is meat, and the other fish, because their body chemistry is very different, and you can taste that.

Name a warm-blooded fish. Name a cold-blooded mammal. Don't cheat by calling sea mammals fish, or reptiles mammal.

(I've never seen you argue before today, btw. It can be fun, and I encourage you to keep it up!)

So chicken isn't meat either then? Is a turkey any less different to a cow than a herring is?

Tuna. There you are.
wiki:tuna
Tuna, are several species of ocean-dwelling fish in the family Scombridae, mostly in the genus Thunnus. Tunas are fast swimmers—they have been clocked at 70 km/h (45 mph)—and include several species that are warm-blooded. Unlike most fish species, which have white flesh, tuna have flesh that is pink to dark red. The red coloring comes from tuna muscle tissue's greater quantities of myoglobin, an oxygen-binding molecule.


Also: Swordfish (partly)
wiki:swordfish
While swordfish are cold blooded animals, they have special organs next to their eyes to heat their eyes and also their brain. Temperatures of 10 to 15 C° above the surrounding water temperature have been measured. The heating of the eyes greatly improves the vision, and subsequently improves their ability to catch prey. Out of the 25 000+ species of bony fish, only about 22 are known to have the ability to heat selected body parts above the temperature of the surrounding water. These include the swordfish, marlin, and tuna.

Tuna. There you are.

I put up this big juicy target for Cameroi, but Rambhutan and you just can't resist the chance to poach it can you?

I know shitall biology but I did google "warm blooded fish" before I posted.

My social engineering fails. I define "meat" as "mammal" and I can tell it by taste. Good night.

OH shit I voted Beef but forgot bout Lobster and Crab and Shrimp and Squid and all other seafood. Dammit meat is fucking amazing.

My favorite thing to eat is a perfectly medium-rare, well seasoned steak.
Now ill eat most meat, if you cook and season it right, you can make a good steak out of anything.
But the best steaks are made from organic, grass-fead, USDA prime beef.
Use one of those, season and cook it right, and YOU ARE IN HEAVEN

Glad you like it.

I was talking to a friend who lives in IN, and he reminded me that hunting season is open and that he's drooling for deer. The poor Bambis! That's something I always found weird about the US. They do like their deer over there quite a lot.:(

Largely because they're quite tasty.

Largely because they're quite tasty.
Also because we've driven off/killed off most of their predators and they overpopulate quickly, leading to starvation and disease if they're NOT culled.

Besides, they are VERY tasty.

Lamb, the meat of the mediterranean!

Lamb or Buffalo. Ostrich is good too but nothing can touch Lamb and Buffalo.

I hate seeing this thread on the front page..

I'm currently on steroids (not by choice) and this always. makes. me. hungry.

Goose.
Together with some chestnut stuffing, dumplings and red cabbage it is the perfect meal.

Also because we've driven off/killed off most of their predators and they overpopulate quickly, leading to starvation and disease if they're NOT culled.

Trust me, I'm very well aware of how overpopulated they are. In the winter I can't go more than 30 mph on certain roads because they'll jump out at me, and hitting a deer in a Miata would be a very, very bad thing.

Also because we've driven off/killed off most of their predators and they overpopulate quickly, leading to starvation and disease if they're NOT culled.

And they cost drivers a ton of money everytime one is hit while crossing the highways. *nod*

I don't see veal on that list....

Lamb


I suppose I should do the Australian thing and encourage our stereotype: "Emu, Kangaroo and Croc! CRICKEY! GIMME A Fosters aswell! Throw a few shrimp on the barbie!"

What the hell do people mean by shrimp? over here, shrimp are freshwater prawns that rarely grown >5cm... pain in the arse to eat. I have never heard any Australian seriously say shrimp on the barbie

Yum Yum.

I'm having trouble finding a Chinese place that delivers after midnight. I don't want to have to go foraging through my fridge and end up eating a mustard sandwich.

And Lapse an Australian response would be lamb, lamp chops could be considered our national dish.

Yum Yum.

Rice and soy sauce works well in these times :)

Yeah, after midnight most restaurants don't deliver. They should, stomachs don't respect hours!:tongue:

Good idea, now do I have any rice? I know I have some Hokkien Noodles.

But not stereotypical enough! Plus, we are the only country that eats our coat of arms, I say live it up!

True, true the British could learn a thing all two from us. I say they start eating lions.

Yeah, after midnight most restaurants don't deliver. They should, stomachs don't respect hours!:tongue:

I know it's just not cricket. I do know one place that delivers long after midnight but it only sells pizza and pasta.:(

I like horse meat, both in the stew (if you're in Verona, go for pastisada de caval and in the steak versions.

It's usually served as "sashimi" here. But the best I've ever tasted was dried
horse meat - think real beef jerky with a lot more flovor.

And I'll have to try those one of these days...

Donkey is even better (stewed in milk).

Sounds yummy.

As for snake and gators, I never tried, and they don't appeal very much to me - you know, reptilians, yuck. Frogs are good, though, so I wonder a bit about snakes.

Frog's good too. And finding the amphibians yummy but not the reptiles is humerous. ;) (What's a reptile but a variant fowl...)

Hotdog, a Dog that's Hot?

Hehe. I teach EFL here in Japan, and just last week one of my kids came up with that question, but seriously... :D

What about snakes, cats, kangaroo, alligator, bear, monkey, etc?

Why isn't there "others" on that list?

Indeed.


any cute little fluffy animal sounds good to me.
mmm... hamsters...
