Quork, the other fake white meat.

There was a post here on FR within the last 2 weeks about a recent study that found approx. 80% of "organically" grown vegies found on grocer's shelves are contaminated with E. Coli. The reason: organic farmer's use natural fertilizers, i.e. cow sh!t, to fertilize their products. Something to think about the next time your enjoying a "healthy" salad.

yes, i understand this now. you're the 21st century grizzly adams aren't you? sleeps in the wilderness, under a blanket of stars, occasionally nipping down to the trading post to use their high speed internet access.

of course, the billions of animals slaughtered every year mean nothing to you because you don't participate in any way, do you?

now i'm sure you have some talking to the birds to do or bears to wrestle or something, so i won't keep you.

It's less expensive to shoot meat than to buy it.

I could cut down a tree with a pocketknife, but it isn't the tool for the job. Man is a toolmaker, and a tool user. If you want to wander around in the woods naked with a pointed stick, eating twigs and bark, have fun. Most scavengers didn't live past 35. I'll use a .30-06, warm clothes, and a sharp knife.

How shooting game equates somehow with a fear of getting close enough to hit it with a club, or stabbing it with a pointed stick or wrestling it to the ground and strangling it I will leave to those who walk up to 1500 lb. buffs in Yellowstone and are surprised when they get gored and trampled.

I live by the letter 'C' diet. Cheeseburgers, corn chips, coffee and cigarettes. I'm in great shape for my age, low blood pressure, great heart and generally good health. All those health nuts are going to feel silly soon lying around dying for no reason when I'm still putting miles on my truck.

[JediGirl]

yeah, nice one. i'm hearing what you're saying, grizzly, but i'm having more trouble here...

did you make the knife yourself? and your own gun? are your clothes home woven from the skins of grizzly bears?

or are you simply someone who likes killing things but doesn't consider that barbaric because you're not killing humans.

i'm deeply afraid that it's the latter.

i'm sorry, but i can't continue any intelligent conversation with someone who thinks that human beings (related to apes, sharing a common ancestor) are predators.

in regard to the above...

mmmmmm!!!!! what's for dinner?

i thought you said you hunted your food?

you're too inconsistent for me to believe that you've ever even seen a gun on t.v., let alone hunted with one.

I have to make a living to buy vegetable matter. I'm an omnivore.

[Entropy Squared]

can you see why i think you're a hideous, cruel, violent coward?

This is my favorite line. It's so revealing. :-)

I haven't hunted since 1972, LBJ's little fracus having given it a bad taste. It does not, however, mean that I cannot, or will not.

I have beaten and ground steel into a knife, using a truck's brake drum as a forge, and a piece of rail as an anvil. I have whittled a stock out of a blank of walnut, and were I to admit to making a rifle, I could be charged by the BATF. It's labor intensive, but not impossible. Gunpowder comes from the crystals on the wooden planks in the pig pen.

I have also worked on the International Space Station. Only Leftists believe that tools, guns, saws, knives are Magicked into being.

To buy into the belief that apes are some sort of primeval Stoners, gently munching nuts and berries in some leafy Eden, is to climb to new heights of innocence. Greybacks kill the young of other rivals. Chimps will scavenge meat when they can get it. They just aren't very good at killing it. It doesn't mean they won't.

Learn about tools, and tool making. You can make a rifling bench in your shed. A Dremel Moto-Tool and some steel tubing makes a functional Sten gun. A prisoner named Williams built the prototype M1 carbine out of a car axle, while still in prison. Spooky how smart some people are, isn't it? MacGiver was an amateur.

Quorn is the filamentaceous mycelium of Fusarium graminearum, which was originally isolated from soil. It has a stringy consistency.

Quorn is a town in South Australia

It has steam trains

There is another Quorn

It also seems nice.

Quorn: not for internal use.

Proper way to prepare a ribeye: Start the charcoal using a starting chimney and a piece of newspaper. Use only real hardwood charcoal. While the charcoal is lighting, rinse the steaks pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel, and then rub some sea salt into the steaks with your clean hands. Then grind some pepper onto the steaks. If you have time, perform these steps before you light the charcoal and let the steaks sit for a bit before cooking.

When the coals are red hot (open all the vents on the grill and keep the top open), put the steaks on the grill directly over the coals to sear the outside. Turn them once they are seared, not before, or the meat will stick to the grill. When both sides are seared, place the steaks away from the charcoal and close the grill cover. Make sure the interior of the grill is as hot as possible.

Periodically test the steaks: If they are squishy, they are too rare, if they are resilient, they are perfect, if the are stiff, let them cool and make a lifelong friend of a dog.

Throw some salad together, open the best wine you can afford, and nothing could be finer. If you think this will kill you, you have no idea what living is. McDonalds? I've heard of it.

I thought it was a nasty creature in Adventure that disappeared into a cloud of greasy smoke when you hit it.
