Even when I wasn’t a vegetarian I never understood how one label a chunk of meat - skin still attached - as appetizingly or even delicious. My grandma did so today…

Yes, but this:
looks fantastic.
And because I know how good it tastes once its cooked, this:
looks good to me too. :-)
Admittedly, the picture you’ve posted doesn’t really inspire an appetite. I’m sure it would make a decent stew though.

Yeah I admit, that looks tasty. Can’t beat an Eisbein when it comes to being vomitious. Well, maybe cooked cowbelly with raw meshed fish would make me squint even more…
i don’t mind looking at lean meat,
but fatty stuff with bones still in it looks too alive.
like whole chicken?
i can hardly stand to eat it.
Whole chicken on the other hand is one thing I broke my veggie-oath once. Hmm. Dripping skin… Yummy.
ick.
that sorta thing has to be completely dissassembled for me.
i don’t like any of that knuckly stuff.
This is why I became a veggie: If I can’t live with the thought and imagination of eating dead animals I won’t do it.
Now, back to my porridge. (^_^)
Chickens have got it coming, with their nasty beady eyes and pointy beaks.
Can I claim to be a vegetarian anyway? I don’t eat fish but I will eat red meat and poultry.
I am always amazed by “vegetarians” who eat fish. So you have a problem eating things specifically raised for food, but have no problem whatsoever with the ecological disaster required to get that fishy (still an animal last time I checked) onto your plate?
/rant mode off.
I share that thoughts. I am always at a loss for words when the cafeteria offers fish & chips as a vegetarian meal.
Is it so difficult to comprehend that vegetarian means: No Dead Animals?
So, no. You can not claim to be a vegetarian. =)
There are plenty of people I know who don’t eat red or white meat, but do eat fish; however they all call themselves ‘mostly vegetarian’. There are other reasons to be vegetarian than just not liking the idea of eating animals raised for food - many people just don’t like the taste or health implications of meat.
But still vegetarians comes from vegetables. So if you - for whatever reasons - do only eat certain types of meat your not a vegetarian but rather a person with special eating habits. =)
Absolutely. My comment was directed at Nellie, who was implying that vegetarians are all motivated by disgust at the idea of eating things specifically raised for food, which really isn’t true.
i am not vegetarian, but i mostly don’t eat meat since i watched the birth of my children.
beautiful, natural process my ass…
#11: Sometimes I envy those people because they have an easy live. When I smell the delicious smoked pork chop my grandma used to make I’ll always have to have the ethical discussion with my inner gourmet…
Not all, but its the “cute fluffly animals are why I don’t eat meat, now pass me a tuna sandwhich” crew that get my goat a bit.
If you don’t eat meat for health reasons or you don’t like the taste or whatever but eat fish then that’s fine with me. I don’t eat most shellfish first and foremost because I hate the taste, any ecological preciousness firmly takes a back seat.
They really do that? *Outsider shakes his head*
#12: Because when you see a steak you think of how the little calf struggled out of his mother’s womb?
I was a vegetarian for some years (starting at the age of 16), mainly because of ecological reasons (you need too much vegetable just to feed one cow, so eat the vegetables instead), partly because of the desire to feel rebellious - I grew up on the countryside, where being vegetarian truly means rebellion.
Then I started eating fish and poultry, which was yummy. And healthy, as I had deficiency symptoms. I did not however eat duck, pork, beef or game, because the idea of eating strong-tasting meat had become repugnant over the time.
All this came to an end when I had a chinese dinner where I mistook pork for chicken. In the following months, I had a wonderful barbecue, venison and everything, my taste buds almost exploded. I really cannot imagine going back to a vegeatarian life-style, but I do try to get meat from the wholefood shop (ecological meat?, how do you translate “Öko- bzw. Bio-Essen”), when I can afford it.
What where those deficiency symptoms?

Not enough zinc was the problem.
Symptoms were fatigue and increased influenzal infections.
A little medical explanation from Onmeda:
“Die Resorption von Zink, also die Aufnahme aus dem Darm, wird durch eine Vielzahl organischer Verbindungen gefördert, wie z. B. Citrat, Cystein und Glutamat. Ein hoher Gehalt an Phytinsäure dagegen vermindert die Resorption. Phytinsäure ist eine pflanzliche Speicherform für Phosphor und Inositol und vermag Zink komplexartig zu binden. Durch einen hohen Kalziumanteil in der Nahrung wird der resorptionsvermindernde Effekt der Phytinsäure zusätzlich verstärkt. Es bilden sich Zink-Kalzium-Phytat-Komplexe, die besonders schwer löslich sind. Da pflanzliche Nahrung hohe Konzentrationen an Phytat enthält, kann es bei einer rein vegetarischen Kost zu einem Zinkmangel kommen.”
“ecological meat” - interesting phrase…
umm…
“organically raised” is sometimes used to decribe in the u.s. to describe food raised without hormones/chemicals.
“free-range” is another tag that mostly gets stuck on chickens meaning that they ran around eating bugs and grain and stuff (like their own shit) instead of being jammed five to a 1-foot cage and pumped full of chemicals.
