I see myself as a lover of meat. I simply cannot have a meal that does not include meat...whether it's a light nibbler, or a full blown gut-buster, I need to have some kind of meat in it to justify eating it.

My favourite meat is a nice, plump sirloin steak, cooked medium rare. But I also love mutton, pork, turkey, lamb, chicken and venison.

I even like Kidney and liver (from lambs or pigs), as long as they are decent cuts, without the stringy texture.

Don't really like any other offal though...never tried lung, heart or haggis....not going to either.

So, share with us some of your favourite meaty dishes!

Have you tried a medium rare Rib-eye recently?... that is spectacular for texture and flavour; the king of cuts for me.

Ostrich is also very very nice.. like a highly flavoured Fillet steak!

but my favourite: broiled suckling koala on a bed rocket.

Pork!

I recently had crocodile, wilderbeast, antelope, zebra and springbok. They were different. Crocodile was white and salty but the others I could have mistaken for any meat.

I'm a bit of a foodie.
Last night we had guests to dinner, and I did tandoori turkey and beef raan. v nice indeed. Bit of a hangover today though.

I'm vegetarian, but I still have a favorite meat.

It must be pork, for its use in the making of bacon and sausage. *dreamy sigh*

In my experience eating alligator and a variety of snakes, reptile meat has a similar texture to fish, and a similar lightness, but with a much more neutral flavor.

I voted lamb, but only by a slim margin. Ask me another day and my answer might have switched.

I just plain like food ... liver, other organ meats are about the only exceptions. (though I do admit my dislike of heart has more to do with who and how it was cooked growing up, rather than the actual meat).

On an aside, when I finally got up the courage to try frogslegs ... I found then quite delicious and very much like a mild chicken. Alligator was hard to classify, but it was also cooked with a lot of spices that made it hard to distinguish the meat flavor. (my budget did not allow a true large sample ... just some of those kabobs you see at festivals down south).

My parents have a penchant for eating roadkill. If they actually see it being hit, they'll scoop it up and take it home to cook (except armadillo, because of the leprosy risk, of course).

The first time my now-long-time partner came to Texas to visit my parents, they'd just made possum stew. It smelled very bad, and possum meat is dark brown and greasy. My parents, mum, urged him to try it. He did. Then they revealed it was possum. Then they revealed it was roadkill. We all thought it was a hoot. He didn't.

Oh my gosh, some people just can't get ideas from their own little brains...

what a copycat! (after i created my thread on cheese)

Posted: **Sun May 04, 2008 12:59 pm**

I'd have to say beef/hamburger, but it's hard to choose just one.

Posted: **Sun May 04, 2008 1:24 pm**

mine is kangaroo.

we can buy it at the local supermarket as steaks, sausages or in pies. just like beef.

I take it you've never had it then.

Oh, how I love a good piece of steak or prime rib, medium rare.

I also enjoy veal (vension?) but I rarely ever have it...plus, once I was reading a wikipedia article on cannibalism, and according to one person who actually tried human, said that it tasted like underdeveloped veal.

Veal is just sick! You should be flogged for even mentioning the vile stuff.

But it's soooo tender (insert sad/crying smiley here)

Posted: **Sun May 04, 2008 3:46 pm**

Lamb is like a mouthgasm

Posted: **Sun May 04, 2008 4:35 pm**

Ostrich meat is probably one of the healthiest and tastiest meats - but you can't beat a piece of good british beef.
Beef in Spain is just not the same; the cuts are totally different and they don't hang their beef as long as they should so it's not as tasty or tender as it could be.
The Argentinians have great steaks too, but nothing is better than Aberdeen Angus.

A funny and a not-so funny story.

The funny one first -- when I was younger, my mother brought some soup to a church pot luck. One teenager just raved about it ... until she found out it was tongue! This was a farm community, so most of the adults just roared ... they all knew full well what it was!

A not-so funny story. A deer ran in front of the car ahead of my husband, it wasn't hit, but the deer slid on the ice and broke its legs. He had me call dispatch. The only part he really regretted was that he had to wait almost an hour, watching the poor thing suffer, until a state trooper (they have jurisdiction out of towns) could arrive. He was hoping they would tell him to just take his knife and .... But, I don't think the dispatcher really believed the story. (the game commissioner, our neighbor, wasn't home). When the trooper did come, he made short work of it... and we got some nice venison.

Oh, and if anyone wants some nice venison recipes. Cabela's has a couple of great cookbooks. (no connection to me ... except that suddenly my husband doesn't complain about having venison more than once a week...)

But ... I think our parents might be my in-laws in disguise.. or at least went to the same training academy ?????
