Better get back to the bear cave. Snake is probably still there.

Didn’t have any meal substitutes back then, huh!

Or eat vegans.

Gathering roots and berries again.

There is also beef, pheasant, goose, duck, and lamb.

Comes to me bear cave. You be safe in here see.

Now where did me puts that recipe book…

I care. I do not eat pork for religious reasons.

A good smoked ham!

There isn’t enough encouragement in the whole world to get me to eat vegan.

I vote for pulled pork!

If meat is meat, why do they say that pork is red meat, from mammals, while they say turkey is white meat like birds or fish that don’t have red blood?

No problems here. We eat meat only on very rare occations. If so only one from local butchers, not from the big slaughterhouses. And only organic meat. So too expensive most of the time. But that’s no problem. We anyway don’t really have a clue how to cook it propperly.

My Grandfather used to say, Ham, ram, lamb, sheep or mutton.

Instead they want us to eat more heavily processed foods made primarily from soy. Loaded with salts, preservatives, and nastiness.

That being said, the modern commercial animal slaughtering and harvesting system is pretty freaking disgusting too.

Food is food, unless it’s inedible.

Just the two of us this year. So probably pheasant or chicken.

You can always spot the vegans; they’re the ones with the signs proclaiming it

I like the animal artwork.

Woulda……coulda…….shoulda!!!!!!!

To paraphrase one of the ending lines from the Movie Trading Places:

“Can’t we have both?”

“Why Not.”

“Looking Good Billy Ray.”

“Feeling Good Lewis.”

Only really primitive people think “meat is meat”…..never mind.

On May 1, 2024, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 1084, banning the manufacture, sale, or distribution of cultivated meat in Florida.

Simplified version:

At three, I started Hebrew school. At ten, I learned a trade.I hear they’ve picked a bride for me. I hope she’s pretty.

The son, the son! Tradition!The son, the son! Tradition!

Oynque could always claim to be a cat; I notice that it’s walking like one. (Or a giraffe or a camel, but those are rather tall animals.)
