C’mon over to my house and I’ll make you home made garlic smashed potatoes that will make you cry and moan and then beg for more. Bring steak. And beer. Good beer. ---

Okra is from the sinus infection food group. Meat? Yeah, you can’t beat it. ---

I used to have some next-door neighbours who were these huge guys from Fiji. One of them worked at a local butcher’s shop, and had seemingly limitless supplies of meat. When I’d come home from work, they’d be outside with a bbq, a table completely covered with big hunks o’ dead animal. The other two ingredients were taro and endless beer. They’d never let me get to my front door unless I spent a few hours with them first. Brrrrp! Not a salad to be seen. I miss those guys. ---

You are what you eat and I eat meat. Ergo, I’m meat. And Remember, farm animals are EVIL, EVIL, EVIL. (I’m admittedly traumatized from my childhood on the farm) The world would be a much better place without farm animals and I’ve dedicated my life to destroying them at least a quarter pound at a time. ---

Anyone else like moose? Hubby works with a guy who hunts in Canada every year and brings home a big load of moose meat. (His family no longer buys beef . . . they have a deep freeze and have a year’s worth of meat from each moose.) He gave us a couple of steaks. Mmmmm . . . must be what cow is supposed to taste like, minus the hormones, genetically-engineered grain and filthy feed lots. ---

Meat is good. Especially if it’s raw and fish. Sushi is great wrapped up in seaweed. Why bother to bait a hook when you can just eat the bait? 🙂 I know I’m hooked. Beef tartare is great, too, but you have to trust someone even more than you trust your GP to order it. The best I can do is blood rare steak. ---

I have the diet of the average puma. 🙂 I truly believe that the human animal **must** eat meat for optimum health. Ever seen a _really_ healthy-looking vegetarian? (I discount Hollywood types – you’d be amazed what professional makeup covers). Medical science might disagree with me. OTOH, medical science can’t cure the common cold. So who needs it. Veal…ooohhhhh. I had a friend who would proceed to tell me, whenever I would order veal parmigiana, about the poor tortured baby cows wherefrom came my meal. I offered to have a picture of a cow in front of me while I eat my veal. ---

Take no offence please. I honestly did not mean for this thread to be a slight against the veggers. This is just a thread for people to express their love for meat. ---

DO YOU REALLY, REALLY like meat? Then you would love what I just ate. I cleaned an 8 point buck tonight. While I was quartering it up, I put some hickory in the pit on my front patio. While the wood was making coals, I took a couple of tenderloins and marinated them in some fajita seasoning. I took a tenderizing cleaver and worked it over real good, then put them in a bowl of marinate and let it set for an hour or so. Meanwhile I finished butchering the deer and put thr rest in the box. By then the coals were ready, no flame, but plenty of heat! I grilled both sides of the deer meat for about six or eight minutes then…BAM! A little salt and pepper, a margarita and some lime tostitos…the meat was between rare and medium rare, PERFECT…it don’t get no better than this! Afterwards, a good cigar and another margarita, sitting on my deck with a nice fire nearby watching the Christmas lights twinkle in the front yard. Damn, ain’t life great!!..😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-like-meat/143767.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-like-meat/143767.md?page=3)
