Weave Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Meat is awseome Weave.... we as mankind would not be the same without meat... Bah! Meat rots in your bowels! And it really doesn't taste like anything to me. Just some animal's that's been decapitated while screaming in bloody sorrow. And, Yes... humankid would be quite different if we didn't eat meat. *Imagines a Wild Oats store on every street corner... along with the Vegetarian Cook Bible on every bookshelf, in every household* *sniffle*... How beautiful it would be... ...them 'tatos would be happy with the sauce (though I sometimes prefer simple butter, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, fried onions) Take out the bacon bits and it would be very good. Yes, maybe next life the cow would recarnate into a fat carrot at a vegan party... Sadly, I have little faith in reincarnation. Thanks for validating me Weave! Nah... I just like annoying meatheads. Seeing cooked meat doesn't actually make me sick. I still cook it, myself. Reluctantly of course... but hey... little Emma Dilemma needs her protein... and my veggie food just won't cut it for the growing girl. @All Meat Lovers: Yummy. MMmmm Such morbid humor......

MdKnightR Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 but hey... little Emma Dilemma needs her protein... and my veggie food just won't cut it for the growing girl. Nonsense! I know of many vegetarian families. Dead animals are not a necessity for the health of a growing child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be that being a seal clubbed and skinned for its pelt (not always by a Canadian) I consider that waste of resources. If people are going to kill an animal for its resources as least use it in a less wasteful way. Plus, roasting it that might be a good idea. Maybe do it like a roast pig, on campfire.

Weave Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Nonsense! I know of many vegetarian families. Dead animals are not a necessity for the health of a growing child. She is a very sick child. Pernicious anemia. Besides... You and me both ate meat at the age of 5 and 6 I'm sure. I may feel bad about feeding it to her, but she lacks sufficient amounts of tryptophan and lysine, which are the most important proteins, for strict vegetarians like myself, to get. Therefore, getting her on my type of diet (And even weak vegetarianism) is truly a risk I wish to avoid for right now. Plus, she needs to develop some autonomy first... ...she is reluctant to eat what I feed her in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 You guys should post some of your favorite vegetarian recipes in the cooking thread. Do eggs and milk products not provide enough of those particular amino acids? I thought they were both complete proteins, but if they don't have enough of those I can see where meat might become more important in that particular condition. tk, you can come over and use our grill any time. However, we're purists and use a smoker grill with charcoal, not gas. Slow-cooked (smoked all day long) bbq ribs ftw!!! Oh, you can grill zucchini--slice a small zucchini lengthwise into 4 pieces, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and grill until crisp tender, about 2 minutes or so.

Oh, you can grill zucchini--slice a small zucchini lengthwise into 4 pieces, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and grill until crisp tender, about 2 minutes or so. Ah yes... I know how to make the most fantastic Zucchini bread! (It may sound gross... but it tastes EXACTLY... if not better... that banana bread)... Do eggs and milk products not provide enough of those particular amino acids? I thought they were both complete proteins, but if they don't have enough of those I can see where meat might become more important in that particular condition. Like I said, I'm a strict Vegetarian... I don't use eggs for anything... and I tend to substitute milk with soy milk... I definitely don't drink milk straight-up since it has scabs and puss in it... and because soy milk tastes 10x better I do use milk indirectly at times... (such as cooking it in small amounts)... Anyway, As far as I know... soy, milk, and rice don't have very much tryptophan or lysine... I could be wrong though. Eggs probably do... but then again, I doubt it since a lot of minor/weak vegetarians still eat eggs and it doesn't seem to help them very much with essential amino acids. Beans are a good source I'm positive of... and so are nuts... but both need to be eaten fairly excessively... which isn't exactly good for an anemic child who eats like a bird. Plus, all those things need to be balanced... too many beans and you won't get other amino acids that are needed. So, it's a difficult situation... But this is pretty far off-topic... Unless this topic is focused on mindless banter about meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk102 Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 @ tk: salting that steak before cooking is a sacrilege! No steaks were harmed in the posting of this thread. My steak was nice and juicy and I assert that the small amount of salt I added improved the searing and reduced adhesion to the pan. Plus salt is a key ingredient in most barbecue rubs and especially for prime rib. seal head or Oogruk Intestine Soup or raw muktuk That Eskimo ice cream looks tasty also. No scabs or pus in that one, Weave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 @D333: Do you know if those recipes work alright with sea lion? My guess would be that being a seal clubbed and skinned for its pelt (not always by a Canadian) I consider that waste of resources. If people are going to kill an animal for its resources as least use it in a less wasteful way. Just an FYI, canned seal meat is sold in many grocery stores in Newfoundland.

Indeed. Never tried it but seal meat is also a consumed in Northern Quebec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Galt Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I usually deal with low-quality supermarket steak by soaking it in a light marinade for 24 hours or so, good way to improve the taste and get rid of most of the toughness. Better steaks, on the other hand, get nothing but 6 hours in au jus. I do most of my meat cooking on an electric range, by the way, but the grill is amazing. Even pizza is better grilled. Deer is also good, the fresher the better. I shot one a few years ago and it tasted amazing after a nice long marinade. Of course, Elk>beef, but that's another topic for another day.

Never tried it but seal meat is also a consumed in Northern Quebec. Hmmm... fresh raw fish, better with some freshly grated wasabi and soy sauce...Well actually thinnly sliced ginger shreds, a bit of japanese wine and light soy sauce mix would work wonders... or a simple miso sauce. Yum yum Yum. Never tried seal meat before, what do they taste like? As for those Inuit recepies, some of them are really interesting, while some are just quite normal stuff with different ingredients. But the fried muktuk on the other page looks yummy. Raw ones would be a bit too oily lardy for my taste. A bite or two may be ok though. Actually I don't think you even need to bread them, with all those fat they can be crispy on their own, seasoned with a bit of chili powder, sea salt and such and that would rock.

John Galt Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Really? How does your technique compare to that in post #1? For cooking on the stove I generally marinade for a long period of time in a light sauce and rub seasonings before I start cooking. Preheat the desired cookware to a very high temperature(I usually use an anodized aluminum skillet with a bit of olive oil), and put the steak in, sear the outside, turn the temperature down, and add some of the marinade to the skillet. I've found that cooking a good steak on a rangetop generally requires moisture to maintain "juiciness." This goes for hamburgers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
