All those animals you eat have a face at one time or the other. I have a whole big speel about how you should not be allowed to eat meat if you can't meet them face to face and pull the trigger on them, butcher and eat them. Something about respect and being thankful to that animal for giving it's self unwilling to you for your food. I'll tell you about it sometime.
I'd eat the hell out of some of that pig. Speaking of faces, you ever see that guy on the travel channel that eats all that goofy shit? Anyway, according to him the cheeks are always the tastiest part of the animals.
Save it. I know it by heart. If I have to live up to that speech and kill my own food, I can happily live on nuts, berries, fruit and veggies.
I had a farm. We had plenty of animals that went to our table for food. Cows, pigs, chickens. That does not mean I have to look at it's mangled face while it's cooking or on my plate thankyouverymuch.
I'm not anti-pig roast. I can go to the "event" and not get all goopy over it. I don't lecture anyone about it. I don't gag and wretch over it. I just won't eat the thing is all.
I'll let you off easy as I'm sure you know where your food comes from, you just don't care to see it's face.
I myself don't eat tons of meat, I could live on nuts and berrys also, I like meat but it's just not something that I need a lot of. I do however make it a point to kind of understand where it came from and what had to die so I could have it. It's just that putting things into perspective kinda thing that I do.
That being said, I would eat that apple outta that pigs ass.
I'm pretty sure that's the first and last time I'll ever say that line.....No wait, there was that insertion porn I saw one time, OK this is the second time I ever said that line.

When we were on holiday we were told Norweigians only hunt to eat, not for sport. I've heard this all the time from Anne when she lived here. She put someone down beautifully once when she lived here. She had photo's of her father hunting seal and this woman being nosy repremanded her about it being barbaric and cruel. Anne's reply was ' my father hunts to eat, what do you do after you have hunted a fox?'
Her father is able to shoot one seal, one Elk and has a limit on fish he can bring in and dry for the winter.
There is a photograph in Ola's house I asked him about. It was of his uncle (who used to own the house they live in) who had shot a polar bear in the 60's because it had come ashore where there was a working team. It was dangerous because it was looking for food. No one was allowed to do anything about it, unless it attacked you personally, then it could be shot. There was no food for it and it was ill, so Ola's uncle filled his pockets with raw meat and went for a walk.......

I fucking love meat, nothing better than a piece of meat when it's crispy and wood charred on the outside and tender like butter on the inside. With that said, I've still decided to be a vegetarian. Most of the time anyway, unless we're on vacation or invited to a pig roast lol.

I would never ever become a vegetarian. I love meat too much. When our dog dies, I am going to raise my own hens to lay eggs and I will raise some to eat also. I am going to look into local laws and eventually I might be able to get a pig or cow. YUM YUM!!!

I am looking into getting a few laying hens also.

Fresh eggs daily are fab! I loved my hens but the friggin' owls kept getting them. Even the big ones. Mine were free range so they can eat the ticks in the grass. We have Great Horned owls here and those suckers are big enough to take a small dog or good sized cat!

All birds are dirty creatures, especially chickens, tasty, but dirty creatures.

I can't even imagine how horrific that must have been. I think he said it was a chicken crow or something like that, I've never heard of it before.
