Back when i was a teenager i lived with my granny on a farm...she went out every saturday and killed a chicken for sunday dinner..one saturday she sent me out in the yard to wring the chicken's neck..i caught the bird..and hesitantly gave her a good sling around...broke her neck..didnt kill her..that chicken ran around for a week cockheaded..my granny wouldnt finish her for me and i didnt have the heart to do it..that was the end of my chicken killing..and i didnt eat chicken for two years after that....:-3

what a pleasant little story.

why thankyou..i did learn i dont belong on a farm..and I can survive vegetarian...:p

A leg of lamb?

My grandma used to do that too guppy! I was to little to ever have to wring the neck myself.

i was a fast learner..went to my uncles once to a cookout..he grilled the biggest juicient steaks you could ever lay eyes on...for a whole slew of family..i passed just stuck with all the side dishes.....thank you jehosefat...it turned out to be bear....:-2

he invited us down for dinner



sue knows he goes hunting and eats rabbits (sorry chonsi)





on the way down there i kidded her that we were having rabbit for dinner she had a blue assed fit :wah:



its only when i cracked up laughing she knew i was joking :sneaky:





its going to be hard for me to get through those pearly gates the way i'm going :-3:-3


alot of older southerners love rabbit stew...bluck....:yh_sick

i do sometimes eat meat but i wouldn't eat it if i had just seen the animal skipping about in front of me. :-1

if there is a major disaster and no food is available i think i will starve rather than kill an animal.

Here is my all time favorite..deer season is in now..and everytime i get invited to someones house to eat chili..the first thing i do is go plunder through their trash for the grocery pack the meat came in..no store bought meat pack? noooooooooooooooooooooooooo chili for this gal...:yh_chickn



if its as good as everybody swears..why drown it in chili?????????????:-3

Venison is good if cooked right.

I think venison is utterly disgusting. I've had it every possible way to prepare it, even in jerky, and it's awful

Guppy, just be happy they didn't have an ostrich farm. They will damn near kill you when you try to wring their neck..:wah:

Oops

ah but guppy, that might not work if they do what i do which is buy a lot of meat in one go from the store and take it out and put it into the freezer in individual portions.

Then when i do use it, there is no wrapping to be found because it was thrown away the day i bought the meat.

My family eats venison year around. We like the steaks burgers and especially the hearts. We cook the hearts like roast with potatoes and carrotts, The heart quite possibly be the best piece of meat I have ever eaten..

Last week was in the grocery store buying pork chops. Happen to glance over and see a hog's head in the next section staring at me. We didn't have porkchops that night.

I don't eat pork anymore either. Love the taste, but it almost seems cannibalistic.

I want it known I let this post go...:wah:

The grocery stores around here are catering to the Hispanic population more and more. Used to be just tripe and such you saw, now you see hog's head, toungue and such. I like tamales, but I won't eat them if I saw them being prepared. They use a hog's head to make them.

I won't eat the stuff either. It's the freaking filter of the body! :wah: My grandma used to gripe about the amount of ketchup I wasted when she forced me to eat it as a kid.

Hubby bought a bunch of rabbits for food so I named them all and refused to eat a rabbit I knew personally. :wah: He gave them all away. :wah:

Thats a fowl thing to say..

totally quackers:wah:

i force myself to eat liver - yes prepared from raw - quickly cover it in flour then you can't see it anymore - because it is a fantastic source of iron which women need in their diet.

Oh what a fun thread!!

First:I want to say that the ex chopped off a chickens head one time in the back yard (yes, we had chickens in a residential neighborhood--the eggs were great!) and he let the two little boys watch, they thought it was GREAT....as for me and the oldest son, yeah We were NO-where to be found....well, no-where is also known as the bathroom with NO windows and far from the chicken killing area!!

Second: the ex used to try to feed me the fresh chickens, he would kill them while I went out and tell the boys not to tell me...thankfully my youngest is MY child....and told me the minute I walked in the door!!

Third: For a short period of time, we owned a pig and a cow, and their names were "Bacon and T-Bone"....no joke. We ended up selling them before my ex made them our meals....which is fine by me!

NO thanks. I'll eat my spinach like a good girl. :wah:

You and me both, I had a friend that would eat liver when she was pregnant with her daughter....she was told she would never have children, so when she got pregnant she ate EVERYTHING by the book, if she liked it or not! She ate it twice a week and hated it the whole 9 months, but did it for her baby....wow, I can't say that I was that dedicated to my unborn children. I DID take the vitamins though!:o

i shall tell you how i eat it, almost painlessly -

i coat it in flour, dried herbs, tomato puree and beef stock.Then I fry it so that it very very brown - at this stage if you taste it, mostly you taste the caramelised covering, so it isn't terrible.

Then put it in a crockpot with meat stock and various vegetables and a little red wine for a whole day - by then it has disintegrated and you only taste a rich gravy with vegetables in it so you really don't realise what you are eating (except that obviously i know because i put it in there),

i think the paint fumes are starting to take effect. :wah:

Why do folks keep Ostrich??? I have never seen egg cups for sale that would hold one of theirs.

No I just know they use that technique to load them on trucks. :wah:

I had two pet turkeys once..named giblet and gravy...lmao...me and you are sisters wendy....

jimbo;739628 wrote: there is an ostrich farm down the road



and the way to kill an ostrich is this





you put a sock over your hand and you put your arm up high over your head ,then you use your thumb and fingers into the shape of a beak and you sway your arm to and fro ,the ostrich then thinks your hand and arm is the head and neck of an ostrich



and the arm moving to and fro is alike to the mating dance of an ostrich ,you can even make ostrich noises to help if you can ,then you do this for a week till the ostrich falls in love with your arm and sock make believe ostrich then the next day you put a saw blade in front of the ostrich ,then carefully do the dance but flick off the sock and open your hand quickly so there is no beak ,the ostrich the cranes his neck over the saw blade and looks to and through for its mate and cuts his bloody head off

I'm thinking that your mind should be donated to an organization for some type of useful research!!!
