a wise man...if it tastes ok then why worry about it?
if you thought about each thing you ever ate you probably wouldnt eat another thing
I will eat anything as long as its dead..and even that rule can be put aside for some seafood!
as long as it tastes ok then I will give anything a go..if it tastes bad I wont eat it again
I often butcher fish, robbits, grouse, pheasant
I find breaking down an animal into its component parts for food gives you a greater respect for animals....instead of just seeing a bit of meat in a little plastic covered tray
it brings it home that this was a living breathing creature and that you are eating its flesh to sustain you..its hard to put your finger on it..it takes you back to a different time...you feel as if you have earned your meal...when I go fishing especially its satisfying to put a fish back that fought well, you feel it earned its right to continue..again its hard to quantify..sometimes you think well you are coming home for my tea..other times you think, well you earned the right you can go back
people shouldnt just 'expect' food to appear.. good old butchers had the carcasses hanging, you knew where your meat came from..these days people just prefer not to think about it
I like a bit of offal mind..doesnt bother me..but my missus cant even bear to handle a kidney let alone eat it!
perhaps theres still a bit of hunter/gatherer left in my DNA

Burger King withdrew an advert that featured cows, as they felt it drew too much of a connection between cows and what lay between their buns.
I love butchering animals - the bigger the better. Taking apart a stag on a Sunday afternoon can't be likened to anything else.

urgh
Now that's just silly. Thanks for the replies, looks like simmering in water is totally unpopular and part of the 'making' not the cooking.
