My mates and I had dinner recently and this conversation came up.
If someone puts an apparently unethical food in front of me and it tastes good, I'm not going to turn it away. It's already dead, it's already been through whatever process has got it to my plate, and it tastes great. Why would I disrespect whatever life it had by not fulfilling its worldly purpose?

I was vegetarian for 28 years and I know every counter argument to this, but I don't really care any more. If that makes me a bastard, so be it.

Incidentally, if you have an halal butcher near you, go in and ask for some lamb keema mince with onion and chili and make thin burgers or sausages with it. You won't regret it.

If cows etc. tasted like shit
they'd probably be extinct.
