I love it! Do you?

Meat Is Neat. In ALL forms.

I had WILD BOAR MEAT once and it was brilliant! Mmmmmm. Sosage sandwiches on white bread with tomato sauce. Oooh.

― Sarah, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I had a sausage sandwich on saturday night (sunday morning) when I came in and I had just cooked the sausages and made the toast when I found there was no ketchup. Talk about ruining my weekend.

― Ronan, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Yeah but think of the piggies whose life you have ruined.

― Sir P Macartney, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Aw no, toasting ruins it! You want the bread to go all soft from the grease, mmm soft white bread soggy with ketchup and fat with sossijizz yum yum. Home of sosage butty = Cafe Pop Manchester Land. UHHH. So. Good!

― Sarah, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I didnt ruin their lives personally, I merely tacitly colluded with those who did by eating the sausage. Toasting is great cos the butter melts into the toast better, and it's warm, and the weathers getting cold. Plus toasting helps stale bread taste better.

― Ronan, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Correct form of sausage butty = Tesco Value white bread, good sausage and BROWN SAUCE. Not ketchup.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Quite, it is obviously Science Fact that sausage sandwiches require brown sauce and bacon sandwiches red sauce and both require the pappiest white bread going. When I was hungover at work last Friday one of the boys got me a bacon sarnie from the canteen but screwed up and there was brown sauce on it which impeded my recovery severely.

― Emma, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I don't really bother with brown sauce. As for the bread, yeah I mean in a perfect world every sandwich would have fresh bread, but generally I'll take whatevers there.

― Ronan, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

i feel a row about vegetarianism is about to break out.

― stevo, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Well we've not had one for a month or so. Its as regular as clockwork round here usually.

― Pete, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Let's talk about sauce instead then. What about those "tangy" flavours eh? And BBQ sauce and Lea and Perrins Worcester sauce?! For me it's gotta ALWAYS be the red ketchup. It goes so well with everything! And if people come round and you don't have any food you can always cook cheapo pasta, plonk red sauce on it and call it pesto! With brown sauce you would have to call it "poo". Eeergh I don't like it.

I think Suzy and me should have a BAKE OFF.

― Sarah, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I like Bicks hamburger relish. Or their mexican relish stuff. In fact any of their stuff is great except it's very hard to open the jars.

― Ronan, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

This is the first ever thread to make me salivate like Cujo.

St.Bernardburger. Mmmmmmmm.

― Trevor, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Today is the debut of the purple ketchup. It is on the list and i am buying grocreies this week to make sure we get a bottle.

― anthony, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Have I missed something? Purple Ketchup? Are you sure its not a double meaning for something?

― Ronan, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Has anybody tried Green Ketchup yet? I am not making that up, btw...

― Andrew L, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

We have green Ketchup in our cupboards. But i do love meat , back on track. Esp. Game ! Vension, Rabbit , Partridge, Moose . I am telling you its pure sex .

― anthony, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

And I tried so hard to be veggie when I was 16...

Brown sauce is vile, as is supermarket white slice (AKA The Bread With A Nuclear Half-Life). I find these items plebby in a Served On Sink Estates kind of way.

The perfect sausage sandwich is, quite simply, garlic and basil sausages from Gazzano's in Farringdon Road on baker's white toast with ketchup and mayonnaise. Cumberlands seem to require mustard. Dijon, that is. Substiture SMOKED bacon for the perfect bacon sandwich.

Tonight I'm having keema lamb curry with peas. Mmmm.

― suzy, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

ANyone heard those adverts for ketchup soup on US radio. It sounds great, and then a patronising voice comes in and tells us that - for millions of families - ketchup soup is a way of life and saying that malnutriion is a serious problem. Bah! Spoiling all our fun.

If it gets organised I shall be selling the tickets and promoting Suzy and Sarah's bakeoff as the ensuing clash of ethos can only be top spectator sport fun.

― Pete, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Well excuse me........

― Ronan, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

What could Purple Ketchup be another meaning for. Indeed are any bodily secretions purple?

― Pete, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

If not, why not?

― Ronan, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Suzy if you're ever up my way pop into the Masham sausage shop, the pork with black pudding and apple is especially recommended.

― Billy Dods, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Cor. Quality sausages and Black Sheep beer in the same town. I'm moving to Masham.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I am too . Wild boar Sausge in Wine . Will they send cross the pond ?

― anthony, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I had an elkburger about twenty years ago. Damn good, actually.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I like meat well done. What's this love of bloody shit people love to cop to? Steak tastes better really well-done to where any fat is grizzlied up like bacon. Not so well-done it's tough to chew. Bloody meat tastes shitty! Yeah, it makes you tough. I love chicken, steak and shrimp (which is poultry, I guess... still, a meat). Salmon's another good example. If it's well done (browned on top) it's delicious, but everyone cooks it so it's stinkyfish.

― Nude Spock, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I had buffalo last night, cooked rare with a slice of gorgonzola. It left a mess of blood and melted cheese on the plate, which looked like a work of art.

― Madchen, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

But just imagine how yummy it would have been if it was properly cooked!

― Nude Spock, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

nude spock all that well-done carbonised meat has bronzed yr brane also: shrimp = NOT HARDLY poultry!!

― mark s, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Eurgh, no, give me bloody meat any day. Except chicken.

― Madchen, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

What Madchen said. Well done red meat in particular is an abomination.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Oh yeah, why the hell did I write that? Fish ain't birds. I almost forgot-- I LOVE DUCK. Or, as the french say, "canard".

― Nude Spock, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Speaking of birds, how about some gooses?

― Nude Spock, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Duck of all things should be served pink. Overcooked duck is an abomination, Spock.

― Madchen, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I didn't say overcooked, just well-done. I never cooked a duck, so I dunno. It's always good when I eat it and it's always pink, so I guess you're right about the duck.

― Nude Spock, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Speaking of Duck.
David got his liscence today and is going north this weekend to shoot Ducks and Grouse .

I have been trying to be vegetarian for three weeks except for one bowl of chicken noodle soup that I forgot counted as meat (even though it is called chicken noodle). All the edible school lunches feature meat. I miss my soup and spaghetti sauce. And I'm going to keep coming back to this threat just to read, for no actual good reason.

― maria, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Chicken and beef pot noodles are suitable for vegans.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Poor Maria, I've been there. I toughed it out on Christmas dinners etc. but broke down when my mother set a pastrami trap three months into my veg diet. This story is one that still makes her cackle like a mad scientist.

Tur-duck-e n!

Shame it's not called Turd-Ucken

― Madchen, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

"Pastrami trap" sounds evil. It's likely to be a crabcake or meatball trap for me. I adore crabcakes.

― maria, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

My love of Bacon is well known in the area. Something to do with constantly feeding people my tofu N bacon stir fry.

I'd love chicken more but I can't afford it.

yes i am a vegan. yes i eat no meats or animal products. no i'm not going to shout or try to convert anyone (no-one would listen even if i did :)) i spurn your well done ducks and your chipolata sausages and foot and mouth disease burgers...

― katie, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

You're thinking of BSE, foot and mouth is quite harmless to humans. I may go for a burger for lunch. I'm hungover and its kind of an unwritten rule.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

i'm still confused on the scrapple issue

― the 'surface' 'noise' (electricsound), Thursday, 13 May 2004 02:09 (twenty years ago) link

I never had the balls to try it, actually. Or to be honest I just never eat breakfast.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 13 May 2004 02:17 (twenty years ago) link

I still love chicken. I could really use some chicken fajitas with guacamole right now, even though I had a perfectly serviceable BLT sandwich for dinner. Ok, so I couldn't "really use" the fajitas, but they would taste awesome for dinner tomorrow.

hahaha

I cooked meat for the first time in ages tonight. It was chicken breast, in a kind of homemade bbq sauce. It was Fucking Great. Then I went for an impromtu 1-hr power walk (instead of taking the bus). Thank you, animal-based protein.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 03:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I went to the McDonald's that's next to Nick's Fish Market today, and sat in a window booth and looked out at the fountain and the Chagall wall and had a Big Mac. It wasn't so much the food as the ambience.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 03:23 (eighteen years ago) link

That is one of the weirdest descriptions of ambience I've ever heard. I mean, there's a lot going on there.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 03:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I forgot to mention the Chase Bank building. It's got such a great SWOOP to it.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 03:52 (eighteen years ago) link

The Chase Bank (it will probably be the Bank One Tower in my heart for a year or so more) is kind of freaky.

All of the pics I just looked at online only make it look like a skyscraper saw the Ring or was photographed with a fisheye.

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 07:29 (eighteen years ago) link

kind of freaky

I think it's weird to be afraid of a building, but I like your sentiment anyway. It helps solidify my belief that this is the most immediately striking building in Chicago. From the side, which is the first angle I encountered it from, it looks like a kind of a massive, threatening concrete bell bottom, and I gasped a little.

This thread is not about meat anymore. I feel responsible.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 08:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Not too freaky. But if you walk up on it on the street you notice that somethings weird and you look up, which only reinforces the feeling. And then you think about how the outside affects the interiors of the rooms on the outsides of the swoop sides.

But then you go and eat a flap steak and forget about the dumb fucking building as you chow down on the striated fibers of meat.

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 08:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Back on topic.

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 08:12 (eighteen years ago) link

And then you think about how the outside affects the interiors of the rooms on the outsides of the swoop sides.

What do you mean? It surely affects nothing negatively. The floors are bigger on bottom, and smaller on top, and on the bottom people get cool slanty windows. I don't have cool slanty windows. I wish I did.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 08:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't like meat. Or sex. Or downloading music.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 08:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, back on topic. Meat flaps. I mean, flap steak.

I'm just kidding. I enjoy all of those things. A lot.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 08:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I think my favorite cut of beef now is flank steak. There's no waste, it's relatively cheap because it's sort of untrendy and overlooked, and it's the absolute easiest thing in the world to cook. Leftovers make great sandwiches (pass the horseradish).

I had scrapple once. It tasted more or less like regular southern-style sausage.

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 12:20 (eighteen years ago) link

ahh flank steak, just had it grilled outdoors a couple weeks ago, yum. my mom grew up in pennsylvania dutch country, where scrapple was and is (afaik) still king of breakfast meats. in cincinnati, where i was raised, people ate goetta which was like a meal-ier version of scrapple. i dislike em both, tho I love sausages.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 13:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Flank steak might not be trendy in grocery stores, but go to a latin American restaurant or uppity steak house and you will see differently.

Which is better-- eating meat or cuddling?

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 20:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Finding a woman who will cuddle your meat is most classic, obviously.

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 20:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I disagree.

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 20:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I just sent off a deposit to the farmer that will be raising a tasty, pampered pig for us this summer. Yay pork!

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 20:53 (eighteen years ago) link

so in answer to jesse's question: PORK(ING)
ba-da-tish

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 21:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Finding a man who will raise a pig for you and pork you like he hates you: Classic.

A man who will cuddle you like he hates you....is that possible?

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 21:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Wait - who sez the farmer's a guy? And eating meat and cuddling are meant to be enjoyed serially, not diametrically opposed in an ill-conceived death match!

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 21:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't want a lady farmer porking me! I want a rough and tumble man pig farmer busting my sod, gouging furrows and, naturally, planting his seed in me. Especially since lately my furrow has been a sort of a ust bowl.

So, a place in town bought 60 pounds of beaver meat from Canada and is making burgers with it tomorrow. I'm not sure if I should go try it or not. Supposedly it tastes kind of like roast pork.

― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:19 (twelve years ago) link

i've been feeling curious about weird-ass game meats recently but no place around here really does that stuff...

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link

This place regularly has kangaroo, which is tasty, and they try to get other things like elk and moose. Owner admits he shipped this in "for the laughs" and has never tried it himself.

― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:29 (twelve years ago) link

i read about a place in nh recently that was selling elk, but i think i checked and it would have cost a fortune to buy and ship. i just want someone to make it for me tbh.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:31 (twelve years ago) link

Elk is good. I'm surprised that there isn't a place in Boston specializing in game meats, especially with all the hunting that goes on in Northern New England and Eastern Canada. You'd think it wouldn't be too hard to acquire. When the Portland Public Market was open (RIP), there was a butcher shop there that stocked whatever game was in season.

― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, it's surprising to me too. i think it's the next logical step for a few of the newer restaurants around here that are very small and do local/seasonal stuff, but i don't know of anywhere that's made the leap yet.
