Aspies For Freedom - what meat do you have / will have for christmas?

we usually have goose but last year we had to have turkey as goose got to expensive!

is there also a reason why you buy this meat? (other than because you like it Tongue

)

we usually buy goose because me and my sister usually find turkey to dry and goose fat makes delicous crispy roast potatoes! Smile

I hope I can eat weggie this year,but I doubt I can do it.

Probably ham. I got really sick of turkey this thanksgiving. I've never had goose... but crispy roast potatoes make it tempting.

i was a bit unsure when my parents suggested getting goose but when they did *drools* it is basically like chicken meat but darker and a bit of a stronger flavour and as fror the potatoes well let's just say that once you eat them like that it is very hard to eat roast potatoes not cooked in goose fat!

Springy!! Big Grin

Very lean red meat, virtually no fat. No growth hormones either. And environmentally better than beef - kangaroos have totally different intestinal flora which produce acetic acid (iow vinegar) as a by-product instead of methane. This means that; no greenhouse gas emissions and acetic acid is digested by the roo, so it needs less food per kilo than cattle. Also, no hooves to destroy the fragile plant life.

sounds nice except fot the fact there aren't many kangaroo's in britain and i don't think the zoo's would like us eating their kangaroo's Big Grin

Kangaroos are all wild/free-range. They travel huge distances and have no problem leaping over fences, or even kicking them down. Another reason why they are the most ethical meat, because they have a perfectly natural life.

My hubby says that the only way to raise kangaroos as farmed animals would be in barns, tube-fed and chained firmly to the floor.

That sounds great, it's horrible that some animals are cruelly treated to feed us. Sad

There are Ostrich farms in the UK & I have heard of wild wallabies in the South ( escapees I believe ), but I don't think any have been eaten.

I once saw a wallaby corpse at the side of the M23 near Gatwick Airport. Sad

There are all kinds of ' escapees' / let loose animals & wildlife now..poor things, some make a living, but many can't. Sad
In Hertfordshire there are thousands of cockatiels...but I think they are too small to eat. Big Grin

My parents, on the outskirts of London, have a flock of ring-necked parakeets regularly visit their garden.

Sorry, I meant parakeets... Rolleyes
