Eating moose.

Who thinks it's odd now?

I love game meat, and other than suburban kids that have never eaten anything that didn't come out of a can, I know a lot of other people who love game meat.

I've never eaten moose I don't think, but deer and other similar things with pointy heads, and it's quite good.

I've got one for you, why don't canadians understand that being an american or not being an american depends solely on which continent you live on?

Everyone from the northwest terratories to argentina is an american... Though I would understand more if south americans didn't consider themselves americans... but canada is a lot more similar to the US than either the US or canada would like to admit.

 

I'ts a lot better for you than steak, and it tastes sort of similar. They probably rather eat steak because it's less healthy.

 

Canadians try our hardest to not be branded as American. All of our culture (outside of Québec) revolves around being not American and nothing else.

It could also be a difference in dialect..Most of the time when you say "North America" in Canada you mean Canada and the United States, for example. Not usually Mexico.

 

Well yes, mexico is central america, I thought? Maybe that's because I'm still interpreting things with a maine point of view.

But yeah..... I mean, if you don't like the US, take the word back, but you're still stuck on the american continent with us.:coffee:

 

i was taught in elementary school that central america was all the small countries between mexico and south america, and that central america, mexico, US, and canada all comprised north america. i've since been told that outside of the US, all of america is considered one single continent. so i guess it all really comes down to who you're talking to.

american is easier to say than united statesican.

 

Prove it, yo!

Nuthin' wrong with organic grass finished beef!

 

i've never eaten it, but i would.

i'm up for trying just about anything once, really.

 

its weird because Moose do not exist. it'd be like saying you had some unicorn for lunch.

it's silly

 

Moose is a tasty meal.

And I think it is fair to consider S. America and N. America separate continents, I mean technically speaking Europe and Asia are on the same continent. So there would be 5 or 7 continents of the world, depending on how you preferred to define a continent.

 

I agree, shot and butchered my own and others, had it at picnics... Better than buying beef forme herenow. But, one reason, some Americans might have, is why my mom won't eat wild game. Her father was an outdoors-man and would put local goose, ducks, fish, moose, deer, etc on the dinner-table with the parental attitude that some have of "this is dinner, eat it all, or we'll save if for your next meal". This can so displease a child that any 'game' meat brought to the kitchen is scrutinized with an eye as being 'dirty' or unpleasant.

And as long as we're sharing exotics, I trapped a beaver (they're a nuisance, flooding MY land away ), and after skinning it, made a stew that had the meat indistinguishable from beef/moose/bovine... They are just bark-chewin basturds so I will wager a porcupine would taste as well if I dared open one for its roasts.

AND I was once invited to a native potluck and had a taste of well stewed seal and whale... Not much to say there aside callling a seal salty pork, and note that whale was the most purple of a meat I've EVER seen.

 

i'm not sure how that would make people feel any differently about game meat than anything else their parents forced them to eat...

 

Me? I don't eat greens. Still makes me feel like a rabbit to eat my veggies. Used to stuff broccoli and such into places it wouldn't immediately be found when I was a kid and thought I could get away with it.

Now I'm not going to legitimize or explain anyone's personal peccadilloes, just offer an anecdote about the variety of life experience... like that of a young girl who regularly saw cute animals, dead, bloody, dismembered, and put on a plate in front of them and told to 'eat or die'.

Ranchers might relate, who are prone to NOT name their cattle, as it can be anthropomorphic, and jokingly I have met more than one pig who was named 'porkchop' so that no one forgets their roots.

 

....There's a time for growing out of everything, I used to not eat greens.... or lots of things... now it's not what it is, it's wether or not it was poorly prepared. 2 semesters of the worst cafeteria food I've ever had really changed my outlook on lazy, shitty, cooks. They deserve the chair.

 

I'm sick of people talking shit about the food that Americans eat. Everything in this country is thoroughly tested for quality and safety before it is allowed to be shipped out to consumers.

I am totally convinced that all the food that we buy is just as safe as...I don't know, the Tylenol we might give to our children.

 

^Thank you. I believe there is no such thing as junk food.
There is only food and non-food.
It's the quantity that makes the difference...everything in moderation.

I take my moderation in moderation.

 

Wise words indeed. Middle way, man...

Have a nice tall glass of Sunny Delight!



I'll have one too. Martina McBride singing in that Sunny D commercial did it for me. I'm a convert to SunnyD. I need a Tylenol too after hearing her sing.

Not too surprising why SunnyD picked Martina. She's from Kansas, the American heartland, has kids, and is a good ole American country music singer. She fits right in with the commercials that show the mom serving up the SunnyD to her kids. She's the perfect role model for getting kids to consume high fructose corn syrup with lots of yellow food coloring and at the same time promoting her music sales. Free enterprise marketing at its best.
