"Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food."

-Anthony Bourdain, executive chef of Brasserie Les Halles New York


Hilarious quote, if a little offensive. I like it though. :D

I don't see how anyone could not eat meat... don't people understand that humans are carnivores? We're predators... that's why our eyes are in the front of our head rather than the side like a bird... so we have depth perception and can judge the distance to our prey.

Besides that... how can you NOT enjoy a nice big juicy steak?

A vegan I know once told me, while we were looking at the same menu, that he missed the varety available to me.

I approve.

"'Saving for well-done' is a time-honored tradition dating back to cuisine's earliest days: meat and fish cost money. Ever piece of cut, fabricated food must, ideally, be sold for three or even four times its cost in order for the chef to make his 'food cost percent.' So what happens when the chef finds a tough, slightly skanky end-cut of sirloin that's been pushed repeatedly to the back of the pile? He can throw it out, but that's a total loss, representing a three-fold loss of what it cost him per pound. He can feed it to the family, which is the same as throwing it out. Or he can 'save for well-done' - serve it to some rube who prefers to eat his meat or fish incinerated into a flavorless, leathery hunk of carbon, who won't be able to tell if what he's eating is food or flotsam. Ordinarily, a proud chef would hate this customer, hold in in contempt for destroying his fine food. But not in this case. The dumb bastard is paying for the privilege of eating his garbage! What's not to like?"

-same dude.

When you order something like medium well, you're likely to have your already-crappy steak thrown into the deep fryer to get it out on time with the rest of the dishes for your party. I wouldn't feel comfortable ordering anything more than medium when eating out. I personally order my steak rare to medium-rare, depending on the place. When I'm cooking it myself, medium-rare it is.

So uhhh... rare is more valuable??? :confused: ... I couldn't care less if it is... I don't like my steak sitting in a puddle of blood... the last time I ordered my steak rare at an Outback in the Philadelphia area, it still had the bell on it. :) seriously though... the damn thing was RED on the outside with some black grill lines on it... wtf is that? That's not rare where I come from, that's fuggin RAW!

Blood is removed from the meat during the slaughter process. The red liquid you see is water-soluable proteins dissolved in....surprise, surprise, water!

Men do fight over women. Most animals do not fight to the death. Its counterproductive because if you're dead you can't mate, and if you're seriously wounded you'll likely die. Thus, most animal 'fights' for supremcy and mates revolve around show, acting tough and trying to intimidate the other. Humans do the same thing, and yes, we are mammals.

Vegans and veggies are welcome to their opinion and world views, so long as they don't try to impose them on me. My opinion is man is an animal whose existance would not have been possible without eating meat. The meat provided the extra calories a large brain requires to function, and the intelligence needed to be an effective hunter forced the evolution of a large brain. There was a evolutionary offshoot early in our development that ate grasses. It died out, most likely because it lacked the intelligence required to adapt when its food supply disappeared.

I have nothing against vegetarians. I can understand if they choose to not eat meat because they can't stand the thought of eating an animal or because they think it's unhealthy. Frankly, if you choose lean meat, it's very healthy, and loaded with protein and iron, but oh well, that's their loss and I won't lose any sleep over it. Just so long as they don't keep me from my food!

Oh, and medium rare is where its at :)

Exactly - that means we eat meat too.

I just personally find it funny that various companies have made meat-like products out of vegetarian products. Vegie burgers, tofu dogs, etc. Meanwhile I'm paying a fractin of the price for the _real thing_, and loving it.
