Culinary question 2.
A follow up from this

Of the following meats*:

1. Beef
2. Lamb
3. Pork (including bacon and other cured varieties)

Which one would you be able to live without?

*Chicken and turkey aren't included because they are silly meats --- the vegetables of the meat world as the boyfriend puts it.

Lamb

Lamb
Doesnt taste as good as the others, incredibly fatty, and also I feel slightly* bad about eating something that young.


*as in not very bad, but more so than anything else

Lamb
it's definitely my favourite, but it's really hard to get (and expensive) in Holland, and the other two are more important as basic meats.

Lamb
Because I eat it least often.

If you think that there's much lamb in a takeaway kebab,
I suspect that you're sadly mistaken.

Lamb is a delicious meat, althought somewhat hard to digest (hence, it is often served with mint) - plays merry hell with my digestion system, since I all but gave up meat eating.
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 15:02, archived)
true enough
I'm a sucker for chicken kebabs though. they even seem pretty healthy (apart from being mildly carcinogenic) - right up to the point where I drown it in coleslaw anyway.

There is this Indian Kebab shop in Wycombe
that does the best chicken tikka kebabs I have ever tasted, cooked over this big clay oven, mmmmm *drooling*

Only slight problem is its right next to the worst chaviest nightclub, so its full of complete twats all the time. Plus the Asian mafia who get served first anyway.

The only kebab I've ever eaten,
was a chicken kebab, when I was in Munich. It was actually rather nice.
Only time I bought a "lamb" kebab, I was 18 and pissed out of my skull. Got the full works, then carried it home and fed it to the dog. Only evidence in the morning, was a lovely sauce stain on my favourite coat. :¬( Had "meat'n'chips" a couple of times since, but gave it up once I'd ordered it sober - pretty minging!
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 15:09, archived)
I usually end up ordering a 12" jalapeno
and pepperoni pizza, eating almost all of it and waking up about 7 massively dehydrated and needing about 6 progressively nastier shits (the kind by the last 2 you are begging for a swift and merciful death and you're leaving blood on the toilet paper).

Every Saturday night.
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 15:16, archived)
Mmm... jalapeños. Always keep a jar of those in the fridge.
Lovely. The whole, pickled ones that you can buy, are very nice too (delicacy of northern Spain, I believe).

Maybe you should nip in to the takeaway before you get pissed, and ask them to only make you an 8" when you come back later in the evening? Afterall, it's in their interests for you not to suffer some sort of anal prolapse.
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 15:23, archived)
6 pints later
I'd be like "Oi, fuck you Stavros - I'll have 12" and cover the whole thing in chilli sauce and then deep fry it"

Pfft!
In that case, your bleeding ring will get no sympathy from me!

Probably lamb.
I don't like it any less than the other two, but I do eat less of it.
Bit of a moot point, to be honest, as I'm gradually turning vegetarian, anyway.

Anyone see that BBC2 prog about abbatoirs, last night? I only got as far as the sight of a pig being stunned and having a large knife rammed in its throat, before I had to switch over to something else.

Someone I spoke to
once put forward the opinion that "if you're not prepared to kill and prepare it yourself, you shouldn't eat it." I'd like to agree with him (there's no way I could slaughter and butcher my own pig - I can't even gut a fish without wanting to throw up), but my weak willpower means that I can't - animals just taste too damned nice! So, assuaging my guilt in the middle class way, I kid myself that organically reared animals don't mind being killed for my benefit.

I'm lucky that I have quite an honest optician who did try to give me the contact lenses sell, but then quickly realised that I'm one of those lasses who look better with glasses. On an entirely seperate note, glasses are quite sexy, if you have a nice pair of specs for your face.

Depends on the situation.
If we're just talking about eating them on their own, it'd have to be green olives for me but, for a great tomato sauce for pasta, sundried tomatoes and black olives are equally great. On overall volume consumed, it'd probably be black olives.

Why?
(, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 13:55, archived)
I added whole black olives into a ragu-type sauce
And it makes it taste rather lully. But green olives don't really have the same effect, and sun-dried tomatoes are always great.

But there are those who don't like the olive of either colour, and I guess I was rather curious about the olive/tomato feeling on the board.

I'm being silly, in other words.
