Meat is murder... tasty tasty murder

Not really. There are only so many animals in the world, and I wouldn't call many meats a flavour experience. It's usually what you put on them/with them that counts.

The more interesting flavours are the unusual spices, herbs, fruits, vegetables, whatevers. I couldn't really care less about my carbon footprint in shipping these things over, just as I don't really care when I go about my daily business.

>I wouldn't call many meats a flavour experience

Try whale. Seriously, it's like a sort of gamey fish. Besides, every animal tastes different, and indeed the way it is raised gives it a different flavour. Besides, I think it is a very modern mistake to rely too much on sauces and accompaniments - so many meats can stand alone, with little or no seasoning.

I agree that there are interesting flavours in spices and fruits. I do feel that there is enormous variety within meat as well though, and find it difficult to curtail my consumption of either because of supposed and alleged ethical issues. Should we stop eating cod and chips, because cod fishing is unsustainable? Should we stop eating beef, because cattle fart too much? And should we stop eating mangoes, because the planes used to bring them here use too much fuel and are killing the planet?

I have yet to be convinced. Until I am, I think I'll keep eating.

>>3760 We have stopped eating cod haven't we ? I thought there was no cod in "cod and chips" anymore.

What? Cod and chips is Cod and chips. You cannot call something Cod and chips and then serve them whatever else.

What I think you'll find is that 'fish and chips' is rarely cod unless you ask for cod. I prefer Haddockanyhow so I am unfazed by this .

OP as a fan of Sea Shepherd I hate you, I really do. Saying that as, as I've eaten everything from Ostrich to Alligator it makes me unable to flame you.

Personally I think you can make anything taste nice with the right amount of seasoning and sauce.

There is always cod in cod and chips. In my experience, if you ask for "fish and chips" they say "cod?" and assume that's what you're after.

I don't think there are any laws about it yet, but I'm pretty sure there are sort of suggestions that people err away from it and buy more "sustainable" fish instead.

Cod is still around although endangered. They farm it now too although the meat doesn't always come out "white".

They sometimes use pollock for "fish and chips"
though if its "cod" then it will be cod, as otherwise it falls under the trade descriptions act..

My local chippery, if asked for cod and chips, will repeat your order back to you, very clearly and deliberately, as 'fish and chips, yeah?' which is presumably quite an effective defence, and about as subtle as you're going to get.

They don't like it when I give them monopoly money and say 'here's your tenner, yeah?' though.
