If you seen how cows are treated you'd never want to eat one again

Urbanites, pigs have been roasted on spits for thousands of years. Plus, one does not eat cows, we milk them..which by the way is where your milk comes from. We eat bullocks, cattle reared for beef. Spit roasted pig has an excellent taste, takes bloody ages to cook though. Very popular at most shows around the country.....sorry, I meant outside the Pale...

I'd a barbeque a few weeks ago & we spit roasted a baby pig. It was the nicest meat I've eaten all summer.. absolute heaven (on a stick).

At a barbecue/party in Portugal a few years ago,These go on for about 2/3 days,It was been held by Ecuadorians in a private villa,They had a sheep grazing on the lovely designed lawns,The first evening they brought the sheep over cut its throat and let it hang for a while and then presided to carve up the meat and cook it, nothing went amiss,nothing.Lovely it was.

WTF!! Aren't they the grossest way of presenting food ever!! Makes me want to puke every time I see it going on. Anyone else?

Exactly how often do you 'see it going on'? I can count on one hand the number of times I've come across a spit roasted pig unexpectedly. Are you living in some kind of medieval village where this is a daily occurrence? Are random people jumping out at you brandishing pigs on sticks? Is it a major problem in your life?

Nothing better than spit-roasted pork The ears are particularly crunchy.

What's that got to do with me saying never go to a slaughterhouse?

Nope, generally the eggs were never fertilised in the first place.

No their not. The first clue that this is not that case is that prawns are shellfish.

Something like this is a "sea slug":

I've never tried pig-on-a-spit, but I'd love to – it's a great traditional cooking method, and sounds like it'd be delicious.

This queasiness about the reality of meat is a very recent phenomenon. Up until very recently, most humans have killed and eaten their own animals, often animals they've personally bred and raised.

Did anyone see Kill it, Cook it, Eat it on BBC a couple of weeks ago? A group of ordinary meat-eating punters are gathered at a special abattoir with big windows installed and have to watch the bullock arrive, get stunned, its throat slit - the whole process - and then freshly cut steaks from the same animal are cooked and served to them within about 20 minutes of its death.
It was really interesting to see the different reactions - some people got very upset, a few people cried, but in the end most of them were willing to eat the meat.
Admittedly parts of it were a bit disturbing (even though the animal is completely unconscious, it keeps moving and kicking during the kill because of automatic muscle reactions). Naturally enough, it got easier to watch the less it looked like an animal; once the head, feet and skin were removed, I was able to relax a bit as it was now 'meat' rather than a poor old dead bullock.

I made myself watch it because although I'm a majorly sentimental animal-lover, I absolutely think it's ethically ok to eat animals, and I think it's only fair to properly understand the whole process.

If you're happy to eat meat, you have to be fine with the knowledge that it's a dead animal that has been killed for your pleasure. If you're not ok with that, fair enough, be a vegetarian.

I was a veggie for years and I ate loads of meat substitutes like quorn. Most are really nice. There is one thing that they could never do. They can never replicate the taste and smell of bacon. It is one of the greatest smelling foods of all time.

Ahhh bacon, or vegatarian kryptonite as I like to refer to it....

Many a veggie has staggerd down stairs hung over to f*** and fallen off the wagon as soon as they smelled the fry up going on in the kitchen. It's always the bacon that gets them in the end.

As for a hog roast, I blame my childhood love of Asterix and Obelix for the fact that my mouth is watering right now...

It is the nicest way to cook pork.

The slower it is cooked the better. Best to let it slowly roast for about 8 hours. Get some bread rolls, ideally a very fresh bap and a little butter and use a little of the juice/gravy as ur mayo and stuff it with thick hot slices of that slow roasted meat marvel. you wont get a nicer sandwich. It is incredibly tender and tasty when cooked slowly.

I never had any problem with the aesthetics but I love meat. I always do hope the animals were humanely reared and slaughtered.

it's gorgeous, a stall at the galway christmas market has had one the last 2 years, absolutely lovely

Mrs Mattjack discovered a few years ago that she had Jewish ancestry and decided to go through a charade of giving up pork ... that was an invitation for me and the four 'little 'uns' to eat rasher and batch bread sammichs... she lasted about three hours.

My eyes are wide open don't worry! Live maggots, dogs and cockroaches are on the menu in other countries if you're interested, I just don't fancy that catching on here either.

Pigs on spits are around centuries so I doubt that form of cooking them is going to disappear and the taste is divine.

Lamb is absolutely delicious when cooked on a rotisserie. How unsavory it looks doesn't impact on the taste.

I'd sooner eat that than the processed, plastic clad crap that most people pass as food these days.

Ahh. So you're one of those people who likes meat but doesn't want to be remined that you're eating an actual animal.

Next time you're eating a chicken leg remember it came from an animal and a week ago it was running around quite happilly (if it was lucky enough to be free range). If it was unlucky it was factory farmed.

i don't know why, but I have endless contempt for anyone who will eat meat, but will not confront the reality that this was an animal at some point.

either

A) understand that this thing was killed on your behalf and you are comfortable with that

or

have the courage of your convictions and do the right thing in your mind by not eating meat.


anything else is childish.

YOU DON'T DESERVE THE NAME Grimreaper666!!! :mad::mad::mad:

It wasn't me!

Yeah, very much in the camp of man the fook up and acknowledge what meat actually is or go vegetarian. I'd like if everyone had some involvement in their own provision at some point. People would appreciate meat a lot more if in order to get it they had to hunt it, kill it and butcher it. There'd also be a lot more vegetarians.

It's absolutely delicious.:cool:
