Doesn't have to be all grizzly.
I'm a bit fanatical when it comes to meat, I don't buy supermarket stuff. If I want mince I'll go to the butcher's and but steak and mince it myself having cut all the nast bits off first.

I hate supermarket meat, too.
Probably 'cos I was reared eating my cousins hand reared and hand killed beef and lamb.

Very much this.
I grew up on farms and have no problem with the husbandry or slaughter of livestock. I would much rather eat something that I know I have fed and looked after well and killed humanely at home.

We used to get the home slaughter people out a couple of times a year. Last year I had to go out and buy myself a new freezer as a mate turned up with a whole lamb and half a pig for me.
