Haven't you ever tried properly smoked bacon rashers? Great grilled.
Boik.

What's this we? MRM is fairly high up the list of reasons why I stopped eating meat.We all do that. Mechanically reclaimed meat is everywhere.
For most Russians, borsch isn't borsch unless there's a beef bone in the pot, and ideally some of the beef that had been on said bone.The land of the borscht? I know the Tsar had to go, but that's a bit much.
I mean, he designed our bodies so he must know what's best for them.
I thought the problem wasn't so much in the feeding of Bugs, Roger, Judy et al. per se*, but in the feeding of them to the humans afterwards: rabbit starvation is a thing. Of course, for that to be a problem, first you've got to actually subdue the bugger - I wouldn't fancy tangling with ol' General Woundwort, here.I don't think Russian peasants had a lot of choice in the matter, when the revolution failed to improve their lot. There was a doomed project which encouraged collectives to establish breeding-colonies of rabbits but there was not enough fresh greenstuff to keep the little breeders going. This may have influenced Steinbeck, when he made rabbits the dream of self-sufficiency of two hapless blokes in the depression. :fbunny:
Human teeth. We have canines and teeth for grinding plants.
And human dentition most closely resembles that of the great apes, who are primarily vegetarian / herbivorous.

a) We...lack the speed and sharp teeth or claws to be effective natural predators.
b) The idea that we're naturally predisposed towards a more meat-based diet doesn't really hold that much weight...
c) ...and the idea that a vegetarian/vegan diet is universally a detriment to athletes compared to a meat-based diet is nonsense.
I don't just eat meat. I eat stuff that only vaguely resembles meat. I eat bits of animals that no sane person would regard as meat.

Death threats to vegans! it's ok, he was only joking!
William Sitwell, editor of Waitrose Food Magazine, has caused controversy with a joke about “killing vegans” in response to a vegan freelance journalist pitching work to the magazine.
Journalist Selene Nelson said the response came after she suggested “a series on vegan cooking”, with plant-based recipes, to Sitwell for the publication.
In an email published by BuzzFeed, Sitwell wrote: “Thanks for this. How about a series on killing vegans, one by one? Ways to trap them?
“How to interrogate them properly? Expose their hypocrisy? Force-feed them meat? Make them eat steak and drink red wine?”

Sure, keep telling yourself that...If it was me, a machete, a box of matches and any member of this forum on a desert island only one of us is going home.
Steve, Clem, Hobbsy, JohnAh, yes: Frying Down to Rio.
Just reading about him in The Guardian. Sitwell is, apparently, an Old Etonian toff who disliked the direction Waitrose was going, with its large increase in vegetarian and vegan food. His outburst was in response to freelance contributor Selene Nelson submitting a number of vegan recipes to be considered for publication.
Sounds like Waitrose (who do sell excellent veggie food) are well shot of this dinosaur.

Me either but there was no smiley for 'last person standing'I don't need no stinkin' chainsaw.
Longterm vegetarian here but will freely admit, in extremis I'd eat meat. The Andes plane crash survivors are my heroes.

I might fish all day at Weymouth but coming home with 3 or 4 quality mackerel, killed & bled immediately is a real feast compared to farmed salmon.
I so agree with this.I've often felt that if one is not prepared to kill, gut, prepare an animal for food then you don't have any right to eat it.
I've away found it simple enough to make really good and nice tasting vegetarian food (Mrs Coal and the Coalettes are vegetarian), and spices are a big part of this - why is so much commercial vegetarian food, both the kind found in supermarkets and vegetarian dishes served in food outlets, so bland and dull? Has no one heard of onions? Cumin? Parika? Garlic? Celeriac? And so on..."A Punjabi full vegetarian dinner is stupendous! "
Agreed. One of my local curry houses specialises in Punjabi vegetarian thalis. Utterly wonderful food.
Isn't all processed food rubbish? It is prepared in a factory where it is boiled to death then the flavours added back in chemically. There is no way it can compare to home cooked food.both the kind found in supermarkets
This is harder to understand. So many amazing vegetables in the world and it is always courgettes and sodding aubergines.vegetarian dishes served in food outlets
