Well, there is an arguement that fish is generally non-farmed and thus moraly betterThis is my view, the death of animals bother's me very little but the mistreatment does somewhat. No excuse to be cuntish about it though. it's also that we live in a fairly binary world, so it's easier to have the Vegetarian label even when (as in my case) you eat fish and very occasionally meat. although it's a plus that pescatarian is gaining recognition, but leaves me explaining that I just do not like most seafood, unless it's cooked by Gonz, or in breadcrumbs.

Yes dear.To clarify: I do not give a flying fuck about animals dying (even to the extent that they become extinct) But I do not wish them to suffer needless pain/discomfort during their lifetimes. In line with this, I generally eat vegetables, sometimes fish, and very, very occasionally (so far once every 2.5 years) ethically sourced meat.
If you are bothered by over fishing I suggest you stop eating fish.
My eating habits are in line with my beliefs, and I have no more interest in pushing them on others than I have in others pushing theirs on me.

It's a reference to the term 'guinea' which is a US derogatory term for Italians.Came from "Guinea Negro" and originally referred to any Black or any person of mixed ancestry.

I just looked up lobster farms.Apparently they eat each other making high density farming a problem.

Yeah', that's totally true.They've very aggresive, and often inside the lobster-pots you'll find they've killed each other.
I think on pay-day this month I'm going to buy a lobster and cook it for dinner.

I have never had a Cote de Boeuf.I should remedy this at some point ...

You certainly should. It's the sort of cut that gets you interested in cooking and where you buy your meat from.
Once tried, never denied.

It is absolutely the finest cut of beef for a roast/grillAs long as you aren't some kind of medium/well done Mary.
Barbecue it and serve it with frites and bernaise sauce.

Nicely toasted on the outside, but very pink and warm in the middle, thanks. Fnar.Doing a C-d-B on the barbie would make for some proper good man-cooks-meat-outdoors photos too, I should think!

There was an point made about veal on telly the other day.Which argued that vegetarians who eat dairy products are essentially supporting the veal industry, because veal comes from male calfs of dairy cattle, which, being of no use to the dairy industry, are then slaughtered at a day old and sold as veal.

Are they a day old? I thought they fed 'em up a bit? I, personally, have no problem with this. I think that a good rule of thumb is that the more doey eyed the animal, the better it tastes.
Stupid dumb animals.

A lot are, yes.I presume because it's cheaper to not have to look after their welfare for any prolonged period. Not a lot of profit margin in dairy farming, see.

not reallya mixture of acquired knowledge and trial and error - sadly I seem to manage to get seeds in later than I need to but I will remember for next year....
Packets of seeds normally have instructions on them and there is always a local old boy who knows his onions so to speak!

I really like asparagus, baked in the oven with some sea salt, or smothered in butter on a muffin with a poached egg.Devine pleasure, aspagous.
