@BoyHowdy lives less than an hour from me by car. Although anything from Pappadeaux’s is delicious, @Rob62 is hiding the best thing to eat at his house…his wife’s homemade Chimichangas [with Rob’s smoked pork]. When I visit @Rob62 I just call him and tell him when to have his Lear Jet pick me up. It’s a little farther to your house…but just schedule with him earlier.

@GPC2012 you and I are peas in a pod sir!
Though I can’t give our Ozzie friends a single word of static when it comes to lamb! I love the stuff! It’s right up there with deer and duck in my book! Though beef has always been #1 for me, that’s largely been due to price and availability I believe.
If lamb, duck, or venison were more prevalent (and affordable), I know I’d be eating a lot more of them! I love game!

I’ll make sweaters, keep the sheep alive and eat the same as you only replace the lamb with elk. I’d sure love to have another one of them. @Sprkslfly

I can only eat bodily organs if I pretend they’re just meat. Soon as I think about it I canst eat it. Which is ridiculous given that I eat meat…it’s just the internal organ thing…makes me shudder

To produce “foie gras” (the French term means “fatty liver”), workers ram pipes down the throats of male ducks twice each day, pumping up to 2.2 pounds of grain and fat into their stomachs, or geese three times a day, up to 4 pounds daily, in a process known as “gavage.” The force-feeding causes the birds’ livers to swell to up to 10 times their normal size. Many birds have difficulty standing because their engorged livers distend their abdomens, and they may tear out their own feathers and attack each other out of stress.
The birds are kept in tiny cages or crowded sheds. Unable to bathe or groom themselves, they become coated with excrement mixed with the oils that would normally protect their feathers from water. One Newsweek reporter who visited a foie gras factory farm described the ducks as “listless” and “often lame from foot infection due to standing on metal grilles during the gavage.” Other common health problems include damage to the esophagus, fungal infections, diarrhea, impaired liver function, heat stress, lesions, and fractures of the sternum. Some ducks die of aspiration pneumonia, which occurs when grain is forced into the ducks’ lungs or when birds choke on their own vomit. In one study, birds force-fed for foie gras had a mortality rate up to 20 times that of a control group of birds who were not force-fed.
Since foie gras is made from the livers of only male ducks, all female ducklings—40 million of them each year in France alone—are useless to the industry and are therefore simply tossed into grinders, live, so that their bodies can be processed into fertilizer or cat food.

I personally I don’t think foie gras is the problem, there are ethical producers out there. The birds will naturally overeat before their long migration. This is what the mass produced farmers are doing when they replicate using the methods outlined above. Yes the ethical producers don’t have as big livers, etc. so rather then stop eating. Make sure you tell your chefs you will only eat ethical stuff. Same with suppliers.
We do some really horrible things to animals in the name of food it’s true. I love the stuff though. I know I’ll be looked at like the nazi sympathisers in 50 years, how did they not stop it. Hopefully technology can help us and in the near future we can eat what we want without harm or suffering to the animals. We are going to need help anyway to feed the extra billions of people, conventional methods ain’t going to cut it.

Nothing better than a bowl of Chili and some buttered cornbread to fill yo up and get you warmed up on a bitter cold day. And yes Chili has beans in this house for sure.
