The colonel leads the way
For some reson, my scanner has gone on strike today, so no Sunday strip… well, it’s sat here on my desk, and I can tell you it’s quite funny, but that’s no good to you.
So, I’ve used an emergency strip, which, coincidentally has some relevence.
I’m an omnivore, but I understand the vegetarian point of view and more than that, I’m not fussy either, I will eat vegetarian food… It’s all good.
But I’ve noticed a growing number of people will refuse a meal if it doesn’t have meat in it, and I can’t understand why.
Do they have an ethical reason for having to eat meat – Are they trying to make the cow extinct and if so, what would the reason for that be?
I don’t know, but dammit, I want answers.
Also, on the subject of the colonel’s secret recipe… there’s a reason why I don’t eat things when the ingredients are described as ’secret‘ even if they are just herbs and spices.

I don’t really eat all that much meat anyway, so I could see being a partial vegetarian and not eating other mammals. Besides my fellow mammals the other animals I eat I have absolutely no sympathy for: chickens are repulsive obnoxious little things (so are turkeys), and it’s okay to eat fish ’cause they don’t have any feelings. Mammals should stick together though, even if cows are delicious.
I can understand people not eating things without meat if the thing is SUPPOSED to be meat or taste like meat. Because if it tastes/is supposed to taste like meat, but isn’t meat, then your food is basically lying to you. And who wants to ingest lying things?
Fakon anyone? It’s like bacon… but not quite as nice.
I agree, as do most of my veggie friends that trying to make a meat-like product is just not on.
I love meat a lot, but I am perfectly willing to eat a completely vegetarian meal. That said, I agree with easca that I don’t want pretend meat. I’d prefer to just have vegetables that look like vegetables than have a pile of soy trying to convince me it’s steak.
It’s the crowd you hang with. Meat eaters
love the taste of meat. Never mind that
they over-protein themselves and have
health issues from not eating sufficiently
balanced diets. The secret ingredient is
always red pepper. A dash wakes up the
flavor. That or MSG, whatever that is…
I am very lucky, I am allergice(sorta) to legumes, so that rules out most vego diets.
I love meat, I eat my steak as raw as is safe, but unlike most meat eaters I know, I am comfortable catching, killing, butchering and eating my own meat.
Humans have evolved to eat meat.
We need veges as well, so yes a balanced diet is what is best.
Some of my meals consist solely of meat or only veges, some are varied, and some stews have been stewed so long, I have no idea.
Fake meat products iritate the crap out me (literally as well), I don’t get it, why fake some thing that you don’t like?
Love Nirvana.
You know the best meat? Moose. Mmm… I could go for some moose right about now.
Since getting my gall bladder out I haven’t been able to eat as much meat as I used to, which is probably a good thing for my health. I think I still eat too much though.
Moose?
ok
Your shout, how you gonna cook it for me?
My south African friend claims that bok are the best meat (I think he is talking about a spring bok or gazelle).
I guess that is another two meats I will likely never get to eat.
Most interesting thing I have ever eaten was a witchety(sic) grub, straight outta a tree, raw.
Actually I think it was wriggling. Yummy.
So is moose legal to eat in America or Canada?
In rural Canada eating moose is not just legal, it’s practically mandatory. The meat is very similar to beef but has less fat. It’s not gamey like caribou or rabbit. Moose steak is good, as is chopped moose fried with onions. My father caught a six point bull this year so I look forward to having some during my trip home.
Speaking of grubs, here in Korea steamed silkworm pupae are a popular snack. I’ve never had them, myself- they smell like an accident involving a laundromat and sesame oil.
“In rural Canada eating moose is not just legal, it’s practically mandatory”
It’s true, I once considered moving to Canada and it was on the entrance exam.
I love moose but I balk at seal. I dare anyone to find a greasier mammal- except maybe David Hasselhoff.
I think that if you roasted DH, you would end up with a shrivelled little ball of hair.
Excuse me, I am gonna go and hurl.
O_o, um, ew.
Tho it would probably taste great.
There are a few foods that I hate the smell and love the taste, like italian sausages.
Wait a minute, I thought you was from the US of A, JH?
I take it you are not in NK?
Nope, I’m originally from Canada but now live in South Korea, where we don’t have moose but do have a lot of squid.
Interestingly enough, I think I’d be willing to try that. In general, I don’t really eat any meat other than poultry and the occasional steak/hamburger, but moose is just exotic enough that I think I would eat it. The strangest thing I’ve ever eaten is actually calamari. Which isn’t strange at all. But in general, I’m not terribly adventurous with food.
What do you mean “Surprisingly”
Everyone I talk to seems to already know there’s no chicken in it.
There’s some story on snopes about how they changed the name to KFC
from kentucky fried chicken because there’s so much stuff injected into the chicken
that it cannot be considered chicken anymore.
but hell, I don’t care… I’m dying in 4 years anyway
Four years? I’m curious… could you tell me more?
Don’t worry if you don’t want to though…
I used to have dreams about dying on an airplane, my friends used to dream about it all the time as well
so I’ve decided that I’m going to be flying in an airplane when I’m 23 and it’s going to get hit by lava (like in almost everyone’s dreams)
Kinda like Tranzor Z
as for being 23, since I was really little I never felt like I was going to live very long ( I always had dreams of dying in a fire) and since 23’s a pretty young age, I imagine that’s when it’s going to happen…
Did I mention I’m trying to get a job as a stewardess?
haha, we were all surprised when we had another birthday.
The most common toast at any of my parties or my mate’s, was a congrats for surviving.
Why is 4 years such a definite reality?
23’s about as long as I feel I’d want to go without having a better job than stewardess, anything older than that and I’ll probably have some debt for my family to pay off, anything before that and I don’t feel like I’ve had enough chance to do anything exciting.
Flying across the country is pretty exciting in itself.
so it’s not really a definite reality, it’s more that I’m strongly hoping that’s when it happens.
lol, having been put on the spot a few times now, I have to say that when it comes to you being about to die, you suddendly find a lot to live for. Trust me on that one.
Also, if you die during a work accident, you are covered for expenses incurred (or should be), your insurance should pay out a tidy sum, and your super should be given to your surviving relatives, so really, the longer you live before you die, the better it is for them.
Well that’s nice to know
and from the book I was just reading last night
“nothing brings out a person’s zest for life like the thought of their impending death”
I’m not sure I’m really afraid to die, I mean, I love living, and I love everyone I know, I’m thankful for everything especially my optimisim, but I have to say, I’m really curious to know what happens after all this.
Oh, yeah, I hate that curiousity.
I am some what impulsive at times, and I often wonder what is going to happen.
I hate working at heights or near power cables when I am in such a curious mood.
It would be like “oops, I slipped, oh deary me, hello darkness my old friend”.
oh jeez, I’m scared of heights, if there’s no railing over a cliff I have to be in the middle, practically laying on my stomach, and even then I feel like I’m gonna roll off the edge.
My curiosity usually only goes as far as
“hey, I wonder what’ll hapen if I take 300 dollars worth of prescription medications at one time… maybe 14 tylenol will make it go down more smoothly.”
Trust me, that only happened once
and it’s entirely the reason why Projectile is my least favorite word
So That’s what the Mayans were talking about in their calendar…
I used to work at KFC back in high school. The Ingredients on the packets of Herbs and Spices? “Herbs & Spices.”
You’d think the FDA would require a little more information…
Nuh. MSG, which is discouraged in foods here in Aus, can be purchased from Thailand (and probably many other places) under a different name, but it is the same product. However, this allows the resturaunts that use it to advertise MSG free food. Personally, I don’t mind MSG, it isn’t to bad, not great, but meh.
KFC probably have supplied the relevant authorities with the needed info, but for advertising reasons, don’t label the product with that info.
guys, im having flashbacks. remember, back in the day, when we were gonna barbeque that ostrich? good times, good times.
