Gluttony & Competitive Eating

my mate (on here) did the same

however my two mates offered him £70 to eat a bowl of cat biscuits. they were real tiny ones like mini cheerios. he said he'd do it if they allowed him milk. i was obviously dead against this as it would make it ten times easier. nevertheless they agreed and he downed the milk and biscuits in one like doing a bowl of cereal.

i don't know who is more stupid, the guys giving him £70 or him for offering to do it in the first place!

I used to eat cat and dog biscuits which i stole from the local hardware store, very nice, though the black charcoal dog digestives were my least fave. I was pre-school, though it's no excuse for larceny.

I used to eat cat food quite nice really

Regarding yesterday's course. I had the best time ever and would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in small holding in the future, or has a desire to cure and hang meats (what I really went for, and what I will now be doing instead of buying cured bacon and ham from the shops).

The course is so good in fact that both Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver send their apprentice chefs over to River Cottage to learn about how to maximise the potential of the pig that they use. I think that from an entire carcass back from the slaughterhouse, only the oxidised meat where the pig was stuck and some residual artery was removed. The rest was used.

An amazing day, hosted by the one and only Steve Lamb with Gill and the kitchen staff on hand to help throughout the day. 9:30am to 5:30pm, Breakfast, Lunch, apple cider brandy, coffee on tap and meaty snacks included throughout, with a bag of sausages that we made to take home as a party bag.

Perfect.

Some pictures..

NSFV, did you watch the poor fuckers get killed?

Did you kill the poor fuckers?

NSFV Warning was three or four posts up.

And no I didn't, but if you really want to satisfy some inner earth queer desire, I slaughtered a goat halal style in Afghanistan this summer and it was horrific. Pin the goat down, shamshir through the neck, "allah akhbar!" and let it bleed out. Grim but I had to do it, and vowed never to do it again.

The way the livestock that they use is killed is far more humane, and the animals have an amazing, loved life before hand. They are bred to be eaten, yes, but they have an amazing free roaming and healthy life.

Earth queer? Nice.

I applaud the fact that you are involved in what you eat and think that people who do eat it should have similar experiences, I choose not to and know I'd freak out if I did what you did. As for the NSFV, I kinda realised there would be yukky meat pictures and scrolled on past, no biggy.

Tomorrow I will attend the Pig in a Day course at River Cottage HQ.

I will butcher, cook and eat a pig.

Vegans and other assorted pussies, this is a warning that photos of meaty mayhem will most likely appear on here.

In other news, Dorset is fucking gorgeous.

I suspect you will not eat a full pig in a day. Everything is edible from the snout to the tail.

Read further now having a whole pig and the eating it is good and should be savoured.

It was there.

Fuck me, is every thing edible with in your reach fair game?

NSFV, did you watch the poor fuckers get killed?

I have killed and chopped up rabbits, chickens, pheasant, goats, pigs, cows, donkey and horse. That is what happens growing up on a farm and having a butcher as a cousin.

Also better treated animals taste better.

It doesn't have to be edible.

I allow you to eat meat then.

No one else though, put that chicken down you.

Thank you.

But to put it in context, this was quite normal farm upbringing in the late 70's early 80's in southern Italy.

It's a very normal thing most places, used to be a lot more normal round here. I'm a lot more opposed to the mass production of meat and peoples dissociation from it as a once living thing in general than anything else. My choice to not eat it is a personal thing.

works do with a finger buffet tonight. I shall document my intake.

Urgh. I couldn't even eat one finger.

I could manage a couple, not man fingers though, they'd have to be ladies.

Arriving skint at a scooter rally in Morecambe, I drank half a bottle of two stroke oil in exchange for a bottle of Newcastle Brown.

The results were predictable.

I left my shreddies in Morecambe and to the best of my knowledge, they are still there.

does that mean the newcie brown was wasted too ?

shame

I won $100 for drinking a bottle of maple syrup.

The fools, did they not know my capacity for sugar?!

You were an extra in Super Troopers AICMFP.

Also Pizza Hut Buffet pizza slices are half width, sorry to crush your dreams.

A regular large pizza has 8 slices, a buffet pizza has 16.

So 20 slices is just a 1 1/4 large pizzas.
