Least favorite meat? - Some things do die in vain

[Pineapple Fox]

Turkey, why do people pretend to like it? Its so bland and gross

How do you feel about field mice, insects, and snakes being butchered wholesale in the production of most major crops?

I feel that they don't produce as much methane gas as cows and do not have the same types of nervous systems as most farm stock animals.
As for mussels: the methods used to farm mussels often end up polluting the environment. Fishing nets greatly shit up Earthly waters and aquaculture has questionable effects to the environment.
As for testing on mice and rabbits: I'm not really sure how I feel about it, but I'd say it's better safe than sorry until I form a more solid opinion. I don't have much of a need for Heads and Shoulders shampoo anyways and found that my cruelty-free brand of tea tree oil shampoo works far better than that shit.

Turkey is meh but it makes ok lunch meat. Some really fatty things like oxtail I don't like. Same reason I don't like salmon, unless it's smoked. It always seems super fatty.

Lobster.

For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would pay big bucks for the delicacy of something rightly considered so bland that it was slave food.

Oh sure, once you cover it with liquid butter and ten tons of spices it can become tasty, but at that point, just about anything would.

Fucking insect of the seas and people pay a premium for it.

I'm not putting anything near my face that looks like a facehugger.

 

[Coleslaw]

Fuck duck.

 

[Kulee Baba]

I've never had good Lamb, it just always came out rather dry and gamey.

"But it's good with a sauce!"

Any food is likely okay with a sauce, you're adding sugar and/or fat to a dish. If the meat is lousy without sauce it's a failure.

What makes me laugh are people who eat garbage Americanized Chinese Food, you're eating the lowest quality beef & chicken and you're only fooled into enjoying it because it's lathered in additional empty calories.

Lol I had just written my post critiquing sauces when I saw you essentially wrote the same thing concerning Butter as a sauce.

It really irks me when people cover quality cuts of steak with tardcum like Bernaise Sauce, good steak comes in its own sauce it's called the juices of the steak!

 

[MechanicusAdmin]

Duck is my least favorite. I've never had it 'home made' however, its always been restaurant/ chinese dishes but its just too gamey and rich for me.
Turkey is bland, I always skip that on Christmas.
I'm not a fan of anything out of the ocean these days either, probably because I overdid the seafood thing as a young'un.
I guess when the apocalypse hits I'll have to not be so fussy.

 

[A single cheeto]

Turkey and shellfish/fish. They literally make me vomit.

 

[Offen Ded Tardreee]

Lamb is utterly disgusting no matter what’s done to it (I’d assume game meats are similar). Big production hams are gross; too sweet or salty. Duck is alright if you spend time preparing the meat and trimming some fat. I don’t know anyone who cooks seafood for the holidays but lobster is overrated.

Turkey is good when you buy a smaller bird, quarter it, marinate it for a day in white wine, pepper, salt, garlic, rosemary, a splash of orange juice then throw on the grill and baste as it cooks, then add some smoking chips for the last 10-30 minutes (smoke to taste). Done properly, it’s all juicy and edible with a unique twist on a holiday favorite. Goes well with stuffing made with organ meats and a nice homemade cranberry sauce. Just putting this out there: fuck candied yams and potato salad.

For all the people mentioning turkey: I too used to be a turkey hater until I found out that you can buy separate turkey drumsticks, wings and thighs for relatively cheap and they are very good in braised dishes. Also, you can use them to make a rich, high gelatin turkey stock which is better than chicken stock IMHO.

I'm not a big fan of turkey... I usually do a chicken for Thanksgiving. If I'm feeding a lot of people, I might do 2 or 3. But not a damned turkey. Processed turkey lunchmeat is ok, but still not great.

I'm not a big fan of pork-pork. Pork-as-a-general-term-for-pigflesh, that's one thing. But pork-as-pork, particularly in the form of pork chops, I'm not at all fond of. Too dry. Pork roasts are ok, not great, but ok. And pulled pork sandwiches are great. But just slabs of cooked pork..... ehhhh, no.

Offal and other such bits what you should throw away... I'll pass. Hearts are ok, particularly for chili. I have ate liver, but I don't think it's good enough to bother with generally. The rest of it... Use the casing to make sausage, fine, but throw things like the kidneys away. Kidneys taste like piss, even after you boil the piss out of them. Why would you want to eat them?

 

[Jerk Sauce]

I find that duck is quite vile, unless it's prepared well (i.e. cook the shit out of it). I'm not a fan of beef in general, a nice thick scotch fillet is excellent, but I've had too many sub-par steaks to stomach the cheap cuts.

 

[Floop]

Ham. Ham is gay. Everything else is fair game. Also what kind of fucking retards hate chicken?

It's not a texture issue or a dryness issue, I'm a damned good cook, I can make juicy, succulent turkey. I've done it before. No, it's a taste issue. Turkey tastes like old chicken and feathers. The only way to "solve" that problem is to hide it under layers of spices, and at that point, you're can't really say you like the turkey, you like my spice mix.

 

[big ol' idiot]

Im an eat what you get served type of guy, there's 2 foods I'd rather not.
Slimy foods (I.E. snails, aubergines, etc.)
Solid foods combined with fluid foods (I.E. fruit pieces in yoghurt)

 

[Stoneheart]

Turkey! its just low quality meat.

It's really expensive because its very hard to cook right and it can instantly turn rancid if mishandled in anyway.

As for least favorite meat, it has to be quail. It's such a pretentious form of bird meat and it tastes no different to chicken to me.

 

[Nykysnottrans]

Are we counting "insects" since that's a tooootally viable protein source in place of actual meat? 'Cuz I don't like those, either. I can't imagine sitting there eating steak made from ground roaches and mealworms, no thanks.

I've never tried insects but I'm willing to go there. From what I've heard they taste kinda leafy/grassy so I would assume they're OK for the most part. I've watched Emmy's Bugmas series on Youtube where she ate all sorts of insects and I am willing to try some of the ones she tried. Not the dried scorpion or the tarantula thought, that's taking things too far for me.

Slimy foods (I.E. snails, aubergines, etc.)

I can assure you snails are definitely not slimy after cooking. In fact they shrink during cooking because they loose their fluids.

 

[AnOminous]

It's really expensive because its very hard to cook right and it can instantly turn rancid if mishandled in anyway.

It isn't though. You can do it in a backyard. Get giant kettle. Fill it with water or beer or salt water from the ocean or some combination, with lobster boil or Old Bay or whatever, throw in lobsters, boil for 7 minutes, smash them up like some ape. Dip in butter and garlic. Tada.

 

[Mesh Gear Fox]

Also what kind of fucking exceptional individuals hate chicken?

Eh, I just think the taste and texture is really nasty. Even as a child I didn't like it.

I don't like any poultry really, turkey, duck etc.

The Eye of Round is atrocious when it's either:

A) cooked improperly
B) used outside of roasts

A is my most common experience with Eye of Round, it's basically chewing on a tire if it isn't shredded up.
