This poll is about your favoured land mammal meat... again, I went for the most common meats in Italy.

Bovine but not veal.

Beef, but I like most of the above, and goat makes a great curry.

Mmmm....ocelot

Mmmm....ocelot

Meh, dunno, I generally don't eat predator land mammals, but I might try cat.

No, poor kitties, I was joking. Eating cats is like eating owls or dolphins, it is just wrong.

I just bloody love Kangaroo meat.

Don't eat in Vicenza, then. They're notorious for eating cats over there.

Also, iirc in Sicily people used to eat dolphins - they were seen as a delicacy, but now it's outlawed.

Seriously...the vegan community of NSG have nervous tics whenever your name is mentioned now :D

Everywhere I turn there are meat polls, its like a sausage fest.

Voted Das Beef

Bison. Mmm....bison.

Pork and Beef. Poreef!

Now what meat tastes better, Poreef or this dark cola?

I love the meat polls of late. Voting in them is my way to stick it to the Vegans.

beef steak. Dericious.

Bovine but not veal.

If it's for ethical reasons, don't buy the anti-veal propaganda - it's not as bad as they make out. And the flavor, well... that speaks for itself. :tongue:

Why? I also included the "no meat" option.
Also, I don't fear Vegans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Vega), because we earthlings have the means to fight them back! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grendizer)

Human.

beef

Beef, but pork will do.

Steak, steak, steak, and steak.

Lamb.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

Kangaroo is the best meat.

Steak, steak, steak, and steak.

Steak of what meat? Deer steaks are deerlicious.

Bacon wins.

Bacon wins.

Maybe tomorrow I'll make a poll about cured meats. Now it's sleepytime.

Mostly for ethical reasons. I think that we all consume too much meat in general so see nothing wrong in giving up an entire category of meat (if less animals are mistreated even better) and skipping meat in favor of vegetarian meals a few days a week. I think if more people did that there would be less waste and would probably lead to a better treatment of animals. You can also afford better quality and more expensive meat, this way.

Veal ftw.
Aside from that, Bacon, Buffalo, Elk, and Venison.

People.

People.

They're made of Soylent Green, you know?

steak of what meat? Deer steaks are deerlicious.

beef

"its the old kind the cold kine for me" i forget who said it. (sheep/goat i suspect are a bit less then perfectly diferentiated in the meat department, and at any rate somewhat overpriced, for my budget where i live, still i love it when i can get it, which is not nearly often enough)

then there's roast whole hog, on a wooden table rubbed down with cheep red wine and sea salt.

mostly its dead cow, usually how now ground cow, or cheep roasts cut into worm strips and micro-zaped or as meat in noodles and broth.

love the porcine too, for flavor, though not without a certain trepidation as to the risk factor for the human variety of spungiform encifalitus.

fowl is cheep and gratifying, but i suppose you'd call that air meat, even though most raised for consumption are raised flightless.

then there's often enough i go meatless, with shrooms and other combinations of nonmeat proteans. but the majority of the time, i do consume some sort of dead beast.

i do wish they were treated a little better while alive and in the manor of their demise, and feel a little bad about that, but not enough to stop eating them entirely.

Curious that you mentioned the spongiform encephalitis in pork. The same basic problem occurs in cattle (obviously, BSE), sheep and goats (scrapie), and deer (chronic wasting disease) - and humans are actually more likely to be exposed to human 'strains' through medical treatment or genetic legacy, than through diet.

Unless you are a cannibal, Kuru I believe it is called.

Cow is yummy.

Hmmm... I've only had beef and pork. never tried the other stuff on your poll.

Seriously...the vegan community of NSG have nervous tics whenever your name is mentioned now :D

wait... so how can you tell when a tic is nervous or not?

and how do they eat those tics... :confused:

No, 'kuru' is just one form, and may have actually originated in some other form of spongiform encephalitis. Kuru hasn't actually been definitively linked to cannibalism, either, by the way - since it's possible that it was transmitted through non-cannibalistic funereal practises.
