I will never, ever eat...

Leliana, what reaction do you get from vegetables?

Leliana, what reaction do you get from vegetables?

If I'm lucky then just a feeling of unwell and stomach trouble for some hours, but I can get everything from sickness, acid reflux, cramps, rash up to 'swift release' of the vegetables from above or below... Doctors said the source of the problem is something what's in most vegetables, my body has a incompatibility to some elements but we don't know the exact components. I have no trouble eating tomatoes or potatoes, that's most important to me! The rest isn't tasty anyway. But I can stomach most fruits and all kinds of meat, cheese, milk, eggs, pasta and pastries.

I won't NOT eat red meat(in most cases). Fuck Vegans and shit. I love my beef

It's funny that you find these to be "freaky" meats... Over here in the Balkans they're considered pretty standard and much higher quality than pork (and more expensive)...

I like the taste of veal, but lamb, mutton and the likes smell nasty to me. I try to avoid them even though it's the biggest tradition to eat lamb on Easter Sunday.

Lamb has a very strong taste to me. I can't tolerate it.
Mutton has to be even worse since it's just the lamb all growed up....
I won't eat veal for reasons related to the way these calves are treated during their lifetimes

My father used to make it a habit of *killling* dinner more often than not. We were fed all kinds of freaky meats growing up....and if we didn't eat....we went hungry.

Now I get to make my own choices....so NONE of those freaky meats will ever be served on my dinner table....ever.

Oh, and I don't really eat much in the way of pork, either. I prefer turkey bacon and sausage or chicken over the pork variety.

I should have also added to the original list:
Squid
Octopus
Eel

Other than the above....I love most seafood

VEAL. I have seen a farm where calves for veal are raised under cruel conditions intended to keep their flesh white. Oddly, for we raise almost no live-stock in this state, and not much of anything else except tobacco, this
was right here in rural Connecticut.

I refuse to support such cruelty and therefore, eat no veal , though, I was once fond of vitello alla Parmigiana and vitello ossobucco. I have been told that beef critters are treated as badly. From the little that I have been able to observe of cattle ranches and stock pens in the west and midwest, there is no comparison.

As far as organ meats are concerned, I have eaten sweetbreads (thymus glands) and, before my ban of veal, calves' brains, and found neither to be in any way objectionable. Interesting, but nothing I'm wild about.

I tried sushi and sashimi once each for the same reason that I climbed the Washington monument (on the inside, of course), just to say that I'd done it.
I didn't care for either. I don't eat insects or grubs and I dislike shrimp. Caviar
is wasted on me. I don't dislike it, but can find nothing about it to justify a $70/0z. price [as of the last time I bought some as an extravagant gift].

Exactly this is the reason I don't eat veal, either.

Well veal only happens in Australia when young calves are sold and unwanted for fattening, rarely ever happens, mainly happens if an old cow is sold pregnant, most farmers try to avoid that as it's cruel and a waste of potential money.

We don't kill nor eat veal here.

I like my meat blue to medium rare, rare is optimum. Well cooked meat gives you a higher protein content, but lacks vitamins(essential amino acids), fatty acids and enzymes. So meat that is reared disease free is actually better for you cooked rare. In fact Pork is now raised to be so clean as you can eat that rare now. Though always check organic meats as some producers are dodgy and can have parasites from what I have heard from the slaughter houses, dodgy meat is rejected generally at the slaughter house stage though.

It's the same with raw sushi as well, more essential amino acids, fatty acids and enzymes, all the better for nutritional health and fitness.

In fact look at the Eskimo(what ever they like being called today) Indigenous diet, it consisted of 80% fat and 20% protein. There favourite meal was raw fermented fish.

Really we should be eating to our body sub type, as it's how we evolved...

Think of this as well the cell membrane is 60% lipids(fats) and 40% protein so you need a balanced diet of essential amino acids and essential fatty acids...

[AussieScott]

In fact a lot of the offal meats have higher contents of essential amino acids and especially fatty acids and enzymes. So eating it can be good for you if you can get over the cringe factor.

We don't eat Bush oysters(Young bull balls), we feed them to the dogs, when making steers.

Shame, hon. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. At least you can eat fruit, tomatoes and potatoes! I love tomatoes and potatoes.

Amino acids are components of protein, not vitamins, mate
