I just had some of Rambo the pig :eek:
Daughter bought 3 gloucester old spots and boyfriend took Rambo... before christmas.. we have just had some of him.
It was kinda strange..it was different didnt taste porkie IYKWIM. hard to explain really. I've been giving him all our scraps and i think that has had a lot to do with the taste. OH said it tasted.....
Organic ? well anyway it was nice.
OH sat at table eating and looking at me ..i said. what?
he said..it seems strange eating him
so i reminded him that he didnt say anything to his mum when we ate NER...
NER was a goose they called her NER cos they didnt know if she was a Him or a HER.. turned out she was a she and she was nice . Thats country life for ya
 
Mmm I would love to have some chickens so we could have fresh eggs. But we are too built up around here and the neighbours would complain about the noise. I am thinking of a veggie patch this year though.
 
I've been vegetarian for 18 or so years, and I wholeheartedly support raising or hunting your own animals for meat. (Not that you need my support of course! lol).
Still don't understand 'Ner's name though!? pmsl

I really wanted chickens- we got some (10) and 2 fancy feet ones and a white one .
I called the white one Marolyn and the 2 fancy feet ones the two fat ladies.
One winters day one of the hens (sounds like a once upon a time story starting here!)
-back to the story !!
One winters day one of the hens wouldnt go in the hutch , we kept putting it in and out it would come and just stand there looking at us . When we went to feed them the next morning the poor thing had died- so OH started to dig a hole , Well... All the other hens stopped clucking and pecking and stood quietly and watched. OH picked dead hen up and put her in the ground then he started to cover her and when he had finished all the hens started to cluck and peck. OMG it was so eery and weird. Quietest funeral i have ever been to !!

A few weeks after that i saw them eating bugs and worms - that did it for me i couldnt eat any of their eggs ,so we gave them to friends who we thought would look after them- yep they did - they was skint so they worked their way through them :cry:
 
lol!
 
I make it a point never to eat anything that I have given a name to! It seems a little more barbaric to me!!! Lol.....however, I have slaughtered chickens and eaten them (beady little eyes freak me out, so not an issue with them!!), seen how an abortoir works, and in no means am I a vegetarian!

He he!!!
