I was hoping for lamb pictures. I know it's a bit late but I don't think you've posted any this year

Sorry Mrs Trashy Miss

Oh Madzone, will you please stop it?

I can't cope with all this cuteness

 

[mrs quoad]

OMG!!!!

Awwww!!!

I'm never eating neggs again

 

[trashpony]

Sorry Mrs Trashy Miss

You're forgiven - that's lovely

 

[moon]

I think if you pluck them now and grill them with BBQ sauce they'd make a nice alternative to chicken wings!!

Plus you wouldnt have to spend any money on feed!!









sorry

What do you eat now? Surely it's better to know that something has been looked after? I kind of think if that's how people feel about it they should go veggie now.

Aww that's so sweet I can only take pics of them in a box - otherwise they're a bastard to catch on film. Right now they're in a broody box in their very own caravan

 

[madzone]

How can you go awwww!!! and yum!!! at the same time?

Because I eat meat. Because I have the ulitmate luxury of knowing exactly where my food has come from. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy them as animals as well. I get the comfort of knowing what I'm eating has lived here:




instead of here:

 

[mrs quoad]

I feel terrible for thinking 'lunch' in a way that I just didn't with the chicks

 

[RubyToogood]

Bloody right! They're Cornish Game, really tasty

Aren't Cornish game hens an American thing?

 

[madzone]

No. Cornish game are also called Indian game and are definitely a UK breed.

Maybe you're thinking of the Rock Cornish?

Yes Ruby - that's the Rock Cornish

This is the Cornish (Indian) Game

Another example of Wikipedia's fallibility.

I eat meat that someone else looks after!

It's about ME having looked after an animal, having built up affection for it. I don't get that when I buy meat.

But you also never know how it's been treated. It's the opposite for me now - if we leave here I'll have to go veggie as I'll never be certain how the animal has been treated.

Most people aren't in the position where we rear our own meat, we just have to take it as truth when something is sold as organic, free-range, locally produced, etc.

You said you wanted a smallholding - that's what I'm referring to.

I'd still rather be a veggie smallholder than eat something I had reared.

I don't care if you think that's strange
