Having finally met you dear Claire, I would love to take you to a Beefeater. If only for the moment when the waitress asks "how would you like your steak, madam. Rare, medium, well done ... or through the heart?"

Oooh you cheeky sod...

As it 'appens, I like my steak VERY rare...

As is right and proper. A decent anaesthetist has to be able to get it back on it's feet, or it ain't worth eating.

I'm the opposite, I always request when the parental units make steak that mine goes on a few minutes before theirs. I like it well done.

yes. blood is for in arteries and veins, not on my plate.

so no black pudding for you then Jo?

no *shudder*

The closest I get to a rare steak is a raw carrot

What is that made of if it is supposed to be pudding?

It's a blood sausage.

I am now making a mental note not to ask silly questions anymore

I'm sticking to the raw carrots!

Me too.

carrots have feelings too, you know [/vegetable rights and peace]

No they don't ....carrots are veggies and have no feelings
Animals that are slaughtered on the other hand do!!!

But not in the mood for that on-going discussion! You are what you eat and that can be f**king scary!

Keith - we've heard that one already! *shudder*

Thing is, I do actually have a lot of sympathy with the veggie brigade here... nearly became a vegan myself at one point, and it was really sheer laziness and a desire to remain ignorant about just how that stuff gets on my plate that stopped me .

Also rather partial to a man in leather trousers but that's another story...

I don't think eating animals is at all wrong - nature is bloody full of it without us - but the industry that exists to bring a ridiculous world population far more meat than humans could be said to have any dietary requirement for... is so disturbing that I did almost give it up completely.

Now, I just enjoy a BIG BLOODY STEAK very rarely, pardon the pun...

I didn't kill my way to the top of the food chain to eat a bloody plant.

Johnny, I plan to throw something shiny to distract the girls, and then make all haste to the Bar. Meet you there, or at seven in the morning when I'm tossed out of the local slammer. Whichever's easier.

Quiffy - I wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't in trouble!

Quiffy's a veggie so ... yeh, Debs you're right. You've just called Herr Administrator an unfeeling Narrow B&stard Overlord. He's a hard man. Retribution is nigh.

I blame Morriseys "Meat is murder" for my veggie phase when I was a teenager.
The phase ended one week later after I found a 10cm caterpillar in my deep-freezed vegetable mix. I put the vermin aside and ate the rest.

That's how hungry I was.
