LOL! Oh, THOSE people. We used to have a daughter-in-law who used to be vegetarian. It was ok for her to eat the faux meat from the freezer, but not our harvested, home butchered venison.

I waited about a year (I was pretty sure by then that son #1 had decided she was the one-I approved) to tell her that all the chili, sloppy joes, hot dogs, lasagna, taco salad...all of it was venison. She took it really well...said son had kinda hinted that if she wanted to be purely veg-o-matic she shouldn’t eat anything with meat in it at our house.

Someday I’ll tell ya about being 8 mos pregnant and butchering about 60 chickens...in July.

So, ya I’m a snob when it comes to food. I like to know where it came from and who killed it. Hubby used to laugh about my 3-week rule. Any meat that we butchered (especially the chickens cos they all had names) had to sit in the freezer for 3 weeks until all traces of any humanistic traits I had given it were gone. So I bet he’s laughing his azz off in heaven, seeing that I’m out in the country on 5 perfectly-acceptable-for-chicken-farming acres and own not one chicken! I figure I’ve done the chicken thing. Now, a cow...that would be interesting!

(sorry, totally off-topic. I will blame it on Bagster, he had to show us Deadwood Hogs)

Set a spell, and have a look-see.

I guess that'll teach him to peck me.

Rabbits are an alternative.

You have my profound respect, Mizz Blu. Wow.

I’ve only helped butcher already skinned, cleaned animals and never while pregnant, nor in July.

I can only imagine.

Tell daughter-in-law that you’re a second hand vegetarian. You eat the things that eat the vegetables.
