I once dated a girl from Yonkers, NY who did not know the relation between a cow in the field and that little piece of cellophane wrapped steak. I swear it was true.

As the population becomes more urban that will happen more and more frequently.

Wonder if trump will put a tariff on this?

We seem to set the limits on not eating dogs or horses because of the way we grew up.
Eating Lassie would be a horror.
Yet in our own culture, people who are vegans would say that eating Old Bossie, or Porky, or Bugs, or Bambi would be equally as horrible.

Never heard the term "Old Bossie" what is that?

Also vegans and also vegetarians (which I have been last 7 years) do not consume fish either.

I've got a question for you:
"When I've got a steak on the grille, and it's almost done...
I can hear the juices sizzling, and smell the wonderful scents; it really gives me a very satisfying sense of anticipation!

Do you get the same feeling; when you're starting up your lawnmower??

[Fatcycledaddy]

I do not condone the abuse of any animal!!!

I will say however that when i grew up on the farm, we raised rabbits, cows, chicken, and pigs.
There were many a rabbit, little calf, and piglets that were pets until it was time to consume them. Being a poor family, we knew that what we raised would eventually be eaten, and as I heard recently on a cooking show, "they had a really great life and then one bad day". And there were numerous wild game animals that were consumed, large and small, including things frowned upon like raccoon, and possum.

All the people who say they would never eat something or another would surprise themselves and others when it came to survival. Look at the Donner party, the plane crash survivors in the alps, and several other examples, I am sure that none of those people would have ever said they would stoop to the level of eating another human, yet they did for survival. How much easier would it be to eat a pet? How many stories are there out there where a owner of a pet has died and the pet ate them to survive?

I always joke, and yet there is a lot of truth in it, that we ate all of my pets when I was growing up. No we didn't eat the barn cats, dogs, and parakeets.

“Old Bossie” is a cow.

Horse meat was common HERE in the good ol' USA when I was young...... (A long time ago)

Why drag up this miserable topic again?

Have not started or pushed a lawnmower in 50 years, however I too enjoyed the wonderful smells, scents and sizzling sounds from grilling over at my sisters for 6 adults and 6 kids this past Memorial Day However this time there were just burgers and chicken cooked. Two weeks before I grilled some nice filets from WholeFoods, and my wife went to Santa Monica Fish Co. and got some crab meat to go on top with some nice barony sauce to boot.

That feeling you get when you smell the first cut of grass.............equivalent to seeing a smile when someone is marveling over a juicy pest of meat that just melts in their mouth.

Did I answer your question? you raised one with me, when you said"and it's almost done...", what is done?

Also what do you prefer, and when will you not eat it ?(say if someone else cooked it, restaurant or friendly BBQ???)

ie; You wanted rare and got well done

“Old Bossie” is a cow.

"Old Bossie" is usually a milk cow, not a beef cow. Beef cows don't get names. But the farmer has an udderly intimate relationship with his milk cow, so she gets a name!

[Bob Denman]

VERY nice!

But Beef cows DO get named...

Man's best friend cooked and eaten. Seems to me to be one of mother nature's barometers for separating an advanced culture over a lesser advanced culture. We are all given choices and it's how we make those choices that makes us who we are, or who we'll become,
