why is there no option for goat?

Because the poll only lets you choose 12 options. I wanted to include a host of other meats but was constrained by this lack of options.

Choose "other" and explain...
 
Pork is brill, not least because of the crackling you get on a good pork joint.

I'm also a big fan of duck and pigeon.

Chicken is quite expensive still though - chicken breasts are ridiculously dear and they're the most tasteless bit of the chicken, esp if you buy vacuum packed battery supermarket shite
I was thinking of those 6lb for 3 quid Frankenchickens that you see lined up in the supermarket. By the time they've reached the table our chooks cost us about 9 quid each. Fuck knows how they get them all the same weight and so cheaply :(

i don't think i've ever said - a part of me really envies the smallholding thing you do. I mean, i've always lived in london, and i suspect it might not suit me at all, but it seems appealing.

Some days it nourishes me to my very soul, other days I want to jack it all in as it's so expensive and tiring. Unless you've inherited a property or have nearly paid the mortgage off it just takes all your money. I never thought I'd like it but it's my way of life now and it always surprises me when people aren't as excited by chicken auctions and wool as I am :D

I bet I am. :o I spent my childhood pretty much on a farm (we didn't live on it but they had loads of daughters who babysat for us and we just spent all our free time there) and I would love to live like that again :)

Most things are born here now. When we moved in we didn't have anything. A local farmer gave us 3 orphan lambs to bottle feed and they were our first animals. I got a really well paid one-off performing job and spent the whole fee on sheep and we were off really. We bought chickens from poultry auctions, 2 pigs from the local bird sanctuary (:confused: ) and the cow from a local farmer. We went to a pony theme park thing and saw that they had the type of duks we wanted. We asked about them and they gave us some eggs to hatch. The goat came from a lovely gay goat breeder :) Now we have a ram so the sheep get pregnant when they want (little hussies), we have several roosters and a drake and we'll hire other animals in (we have a visiting boar at the moment to serve the pigs) or we buy semen in 'straws' and artificially inseminate. My husband upset the last AI man we had by offering to hold his trousers :D

I was a committed 'townie' when we moved here and had no idea how I'd cope. There've been times when I've been lying in a field in the pissing rain with a coat over a sheeps head, holding her while my husband is up to his elbows inside her trying to save her and the lamb. Those are the times when I find myself thinking 'Who got my life on the West End?'

I had dog a couple of times in Vietnam - I found it to be a bit coarse and gristly - might just have been a bad cut I suppose.

I've actually never eaten dog, and don't expect I ever will, but I do in fact like the taste of horsemeat. I also love raw herrings.
 
Beef. Nothing goes down quite as well as a slab of sirloin with bearnaise or peppercorn sauce. Except, maybe, a joint of roast beef with mustard or horseradish and a big squidgy Yorkshire pudding.
 
I chose venison, but I really like mutton too. Not that I've seen it for ages and ages.

Apparently, in terms of lack of fat and most amino acids present, rabbit is the best meat for you.
 
A relative is bringing a big hunk of Western Isles lamb from their croft at the weekend. It tends to have a very distinctive taste. Delicious occasionally! :D
 
It would have to be beef first, but a nice pork tenderloin on the BBQ is fantastic, I'm not very good at cooking lamb myself, but I usually order it if I'm eating out. :)

Phwoar - is that the salt marsh stuff?

mmm - i seem to remember chicken tasting of something when i was very young...:(

But you can still get proper chicken; organic, free-range birds that are old enough to have some fat and flavour to them. And not all that expensive when you consider that you get about 12 meals off it.
 
i have voted for Lamb because i do love it

but as a whole animal it has to be PIG as you can pretty much eat all of it!
i love white pudding, and good sausages!
 
You can't beat a good bit of beef.Most definately.

I do a nice steak sandwich with onion relish and bacon.tasty as fuck :)I love a nice steak in mushroom sauce with new potatoes too.

I had an amazing steak in Spain.It was medium well done with mushroom sauce,patatas bravas with garlic mayonnaise and loads of roasted veggies.All for 6 euros and it's easily the best meal i've ever had.

I like chicken a lot too but a good bit of beef is a lot nicer than a good bit of chicken.
