Pablo Bluth posted:Eat more wild venison. It's the inferior alternative to introducing wolves, bears and lynx, but until then we need to eat them to keep their numbers in balance. Do you know where you can buy it? I just checked the Waitrose website and all the venison they sell is shipped from New Zealand which seems mad.

As we're still on the subject... multijoe's BiS meat-free meat guide: Burger - Naked Glory quarter pounders. Very meaty texture, great smoky BBQ taste and half the price of a Beyond burger, both a great substitute and fairly affordable! Sausage - Richmond meat free sausages or Quorn best of british. There are no great options in this category but these are both passable if you just have to make sausage and mash or something. Chicken pieces - The Vegan Butcher's What The Cluck. Fantastic meaty texture and cooks well in sauces without disintergrating, a little salty and plain own its own but nearly indistinguishable as a chicken replacement in a spicy meal, have served numerous times to carnivores who couldn't tell the difference. Mince - Vivera mince. Much the same as the What The Cluck chicken, a little plain but absolutely nails the texture and holds in consistency under prolonged cooking. Use in spicy meals that wouldn't normally be carried by the taste of the meat. Bacon - This isn't Bacon. Surprisingly good, it doesn't quite nail the sweet-saltiness of real bacon but it's not a bad aproximation and has a good meaty bite to it. Meatballs - Vegan Butcher's Unbelievaballs. Feel a little over-processed compared to fresh mince meatballs and not quite in the 'can barely tell the difference' category of the mince and chicken, but still pretty good overall.

Your best bet would probably be either knowing someone who hunts or a farmer's market. But it's pretty expensive I think. Also tastes basically like liver so I would just eat liver. New zealand is in a similar position to the UK re: deer as they aren't native to the islands and there are no natural large predators there either, so they have giant herds of the bastards running around the place. So it isn't too surprising that they export a lot of it. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 4, 2021 |

You can do a pretty nice bacon alternative with baked plantain skins and paprika and salt and maple syrup and whatnot. There's recipes out rhere

I think the Lincolnshire ones are new(ish) because one couldn't get GF Linda M's and then they came out and now one can. I don't find them dry or mealy. This Is... fake bacon is pretty good too. And Moving Mountains hotdogs are also decent, So are the Quorn ones.

The last meat product I ate six and a bit years ago was a peperami, a few days after the birth of my daughter when I was sleep deprived and strung out and ran to the shop for something or other. Saw a peperami, bought it, ate it on the way home and felt very ashamed. Otherwise been vegetarian or vegan since about six months prior to that.

I have been trying to cut down on meat. I have no issue with substitutions for cooked meals but all the stuff intended for sandwiches I find a bit rank. Something about their texture just doesn't work cold.

Has anyone had any experience with Acorn? Never heard of them and just had somebody ring the bell. They were perfectly pleasant and not that pushy (mainly questions about if there were issues in the area that I had problems with), but looking at their site afterwards it seems a bit...sketchy? Not sure if I'm being paranoid!

Basically every post is about how it's because Starmer has given too much ground to the far left and not properly purged Momentum. The gulf between different people's perceptions can be fascinating. Take the BLM protests of last year, when Starmer was felt by the Left to have shown insufficient support to the movement, with his calling it a "moment" and doing that kneeling photo inside his office instead of out with the demonstrators. I check the comments on more right wing websites quite a bit and when Starmer's name comes up, the BLM thing is mentioned surprisingly frequently, except these commentators felt the complete opposite - that he was disgustingly close to them and that taking the knee was some shameful act of surrender. It's a funny example of Starmer trying to navigate the middle road and pleasing nobody.

I've officially not voted labour for the first time ever  i just spoilt my ballot because all the contests were uncompetitive and there were no decent third parties almost voted for the council candidate because she seemed ok but she's absolutely going to lose, and the only miniscule effect of my vote will be adding onto the overall pile of labour votes which Keith will claim all love him, so I didnt could possibly have voted green for the mayoral election but iirc GPEW are a bit poo poo and I'd already put a big cross through the ballot paper anyway so oh well for some reason I went back and did my massive cross in black ink after I saw that instruction on the paper, I think I'm just very suggestible

Oh dear me posted:I use the Awful app, you can see if you click on the header of the rap sheet entry. It was Herstory begins now, so yes. Ah right, cool, thanks. I don't want to be too sour grapes about it - I've been probed many times for being a poo poo posting idiot clown. But I've also been probed and/or banned from US threads for the kind of posting that wouldn't raise an eyebrow here but is so against the orthodoxy of American politics that it can't be permitted. Weird vibe. For all that people complain about posters itt being reactionary leftie cranks chasing out wrongthinkers, it's miles better than the endless bitter sniping and politics-as-football ideology of the USPOL

that mod just probed someone else for suggesting libs are useless centrists who don't agree with evil but are very much against stopping it I never really agreed with cspam about how bad d&d is, I remember when it was full of libertarians and their puppy avatars. But apparently centrism is back in a big way. Real 2010 vibe going on.
