Meat

[Beck]

Bernie's mum cooked this meat dish for lunch yesterday.... the meat was goat. I wasn't hungry anyway so I didn't have any but I am not sure I would have anyway

What meats do you like? What are you curious to try and what will you never try? I refuse to try kangaroo meat, the whole idea makes me feel icky.

My mum is obsessed with goat and rabbit SHe's a weirdo.

I prefer chicken, but I also like pork and lamb. Beef is probably my least favourite. I like my steak medium rare.

My dad had alligator in Louisiana! Gross.

I like my meat very well done. If there is any red or pink in it I won't eat it. I'll eat pretty much any kind of meat. The only kind I won't try is human meat.

[Lizzie]

I wonder (okay, not seriously) what people taste like? ....ewwwwwww. I'm not about to Google "what do people taste like?" The only people who know....you wouldn't want to talk to!

[Bre]

I recommend you watch the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "Mac and Dennis: Manhunters". Dee and Charlie get "the hunger" after thinking they ate human meat. But seriously, nasty ...

I love meat. I like to think of myself as a carnivore.

My favourite is lamb. Don't think I have a least favourite though.

I like my meat well done. Something about a still pink/bleeding meat freaks me out.

[Beck]

Would you eat anything like Rabbit, Goat, Kangaroo, Crocodile etc though Irene?

I won't eat anything that looks like it is bleeding or uncooked either. But I don't like steak or any other massive slab of meat. I'll eat roasts, but cutting them makes me feel a bit ick.

I wouldn't eat meat that aren't meant to be eaten. Though I have tried Kangaroo meat before when I went to Aus. I thought it was alright.

[Beck]

What do you class as meats that aren't meant to be eaten??

[shred]

Anything that doesn't come from cows, pigs, chickens, lamb/sheep. Anything else, I feel aren't meant to be eaten.

[Beck]

That could make an interesting debate - why are those meant to be eaten and not other animals?

[shred]

I have no idea. It just seems weird to eat anything else. I mean, would you eat a dog? No. Why? 'Cause it's just not meant to be eaten!

It's hard to explain.

[Beck]

Most people don't eat dog though, because they are seen as pets. Whereas some of the less common meats are still easily found and eaten by a lot of people. Such as Kangaroo, duck, pigeon, crocodile (in the Northern Territory), rabbit, goat, etc.

[shred]

Ah but it's not common in Singapore/Asia so for me, it's weird to eat those.

If chicken isn't common in my area and hardly anyone eats it, I would find it weird to eat it. Those animals you've listed isn't seen as 'edible meat' by me.

[Bre]

Deer is really popular here. I've tried it once, it was OK, but I love deer... they're too cute to eat.

[RebeccaR]

I like lamb, chicken, pork (but I rarely get to eat it). Beef is ok but I prefer it as steak, hamburgers or stirfry. I'm not a big fan of turkey. I've never tried duck, rabbit, goat, venison or kangaroo or crocodile. I might try duck one day but the rest, no thanks.
And I like my meat cooked all the way through. I won't touch it if it looked like it can be brought back to life

IMO, it's often a cultural/religious thing. My grandfather was Jewish, so he didn't eat pork. I'm not Jewish, and I LOVE bacon Mmm.

I only eat Chicken, it's the only meat I can actually stomach. Steven will eat anything though, we cook alot of different meats because of that but thankfully he is happy to eat Chicken when it is a special occasion!.

I have found with meats you eat whatever is preconditioned in your head, I would never eat alligator, kangaroo, duck or pigeon because I have been raised not seeing those things eating commonly. So I guess it is partially cultural but I know many people that grew up with the same meats as me that would try anything.

I tried Bison on my first ever USA holiday. It was pretty horrible but I am a fussy eater.

I will try most things at least once and that includes different kinds of meat. Some are gross and I will not eat them again by choice.

I can't bring myself to eat kangaroo. They are my national emblem. Feels all kinds of wrong
