take it for granted that his food (meat) would simply materialise in front of him on a plate with a side of greens, potato salad and a slice of garlic bread
I remember someone getting offended when I suggested they should probably be vegetarian because they were unable to cope with this fact (they knew where meat came from but was determined to keep it all neatly abstracted away and got upset when confronted with it).
And they're also grossed out by the thought of lab meat so...?
I'm glad you covered field dressing so I didn't have to ask xD And it looks like it was what I thought it was, as per usual I never know the terms for things. Doing a deer sounds much harder than chickens x_x
you'll open internal organs which can be messy, smelly and all-round fucken terrible
Speaking from experience? x_x
People are really strange when it comes to meat...some get all uppity about others being a hunter or whatever, but they have no problems eating meat that someone has done exactly the same thing with as any hunter would do. It comes from the supermarket so it's ok apparently. Nutbags.
I'd rather do a deer than a chicken...all that fucking plucking. Lol.
Unfortunately, yes. One learns pretty quickly though. 😉
We had naked necks for a while as there was slightly less plucking to do, plus they're a funny looking chicken XD and the chicklets are soooooo cuuuuuuuuute.
We don't have naked necks anymore and only have a handful of chickens for eggs now.
Chickens for eggs, I'd really like some but I don't really have the room for any without taking out some of my garden which I'm not willing to do. I trade for eggs though so I have nice home-laid ones. :)
Trading is totally legit and I think a lot more sustainable than trying to do the rugged individualism thing.
It's all good if there's someone/people to trade with and one has products with value, fortunately I have both. 😉
