My daughter has rule that would apply here. She says, "I love a good porterhouse steak. Just please don't tell me how it came to be a porterhouse steak."
In the Douglas Adams’ sci-fi book, Restaurant at the End of the Universe, they have genetically engineered cow-like animals that actual want to be eaten. The live cow comes to your table and talks to you, pointing out what the best cuts of meat are on his body and is disappointed after the characters all decide to order salad :)
