Correction: five animal chili. Turduchen counts as one animal. I'm getting alligator.

50 extra points for ANWR spotted owl. a little baby seal wouldn't hurt either

Ostrich = super-yummy (apologies to the nice people)

I passed a bison farm yesterday, on the drive from Knoxville to Nashville. My mom said, "I know you don't eat meat, but bison is REALLY good."

One of the things that annoys me about vegetarians, is their overuse of the word "yummy"... "Yummy" now means to me: "I am a pretentious snotty vegetarian, and this food I am describing may taste half as good as meat if I'm lucky. Damn, I wish I weren't a vegetarian." So, it's weird seeing it used on this thread.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-01-31 15:14:54 +0000

Huh. I find meat very yummy indeed. Other yummy things: * man-bums (God's greatest creation) * cake * flavoured lipgloss * hot cocoa * whisky Things which are not yummy: * many vegetarian foodstuffs * lady-bums (icky)

Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-01-31 15:26:52 +0000

I'm a man with a lady-bum, I wonder if I'd be yummy or icky to you.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-01-31 15:33:37 +0000

It's all in the thighs. Does your bum seem to come out of nowhere (like a delightful surprise), or does your thigh girth build steadily from knee-level into full-on bum (like a leg of fried chicken)?

Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-01-31 15:38:07 +0000

I think it's like a tootsie-pop.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-01-31 15:44:38 +0000

10D, that sounds super-yummy. If the image I have in mind is accurate, then what you have yourself there is a classic man-bum. Man-bums needn't be small, like Bowie's. They can also be high and round, like Clooney's. As I said, it's all in the thighs. Some ladies do have man-bums - usually ladies of the long & leggy persuasion. Which, ahem, ain't me.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-01-31 15:46:24 +0000

wow.

Posted by G lib on 2007-01-31 16:01:13 +0000

Pamsterdam, 10D and Austin battle it out for the juicyest man bum in Boston, if that gives you any idea of the lusciousness of 10D's bum.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-01-31 16:03:34 +0000

So he was taunting me with the lady-bum query? Fishing for a juicy-bum compliment? Now it all becomes clear... But I have to say that while man-bums are delightful in many shapes and sizes, my true weakness is for the cheeky little ones. Juicy's all well and good, but nothing sets my heart a-fluttering like a Bowie-style mini-bum. Super-yum. Chum.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-01-31 16:54:00 +0000

He was just being grumpy. He'll do that.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-01-31 17:21:30 +0000

Nah, I was fishing. Now I'm happy. Even though G-Lib hasn't seen my bum since I put on my sympathy pregnancy weight.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-01-31 17:23:03 +0000

Even though I was admittedly fishing for some love, I'm still aflush with the super-yummy-bummy compliment

Posted by G lib on 2007-01-31 17:48:56 +0000

Here's what I think is weird: Ex-vegans are always seem to think that all vegetarians are pretentious and snooty. Most meat eaters don't think so, and certainly vegetarians don't. This is my best guess as to why: 1. Most vegans are pretentious and snooty 2. ex-vegans felt holier-than-thou when they were vegans. 3. Ex-vegans feel bad that they're not holier-than-thou anymore 4. They dropped being a vegan because the food BLOWS most of the time. 5. Vegans hate vegetarianism because they don't like the fact that they were once pretentious and snooty Most vegetarians I know (I am not one) started off being vegetarian because of some childhood indignation. They have kept with it because the food is pretty good and they don't feel like they're missing out on much.

Posted by Miriam on 2007-01-31 18:10:50 +0000

I've heard that called a bubble-butt. In a highly complimentary way.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-01-31 18:25:08 +0000

Vegetarians aren't explicitly pretentions and snotty... A fine indicator as to if they are, is the frequency of their use of the Y-bomb. That's all I'm sayin'

Alas, due to a scheduling conflict, I hafta bow out of this.

where is meat night?

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-02-16 04:17:44 +0000

It's up to me to carry the Meat Torch, I guess. My evil plan is (hopefully) coming to fruition soon.

MC, bring your conflict along!

Sorry... this poor black Indian has to proofread a 700 page sci-fi book this weekend. Can't weasel my way out of it as it's for a new client I want more work from. I'll astrally project myself there. And when I say "poor" I mean "destitute" not "seeking sympathy in an ironic fashion."

Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 10:49:36 -0500 To: q@rideside.net Organization: My Own Bad Self Subject: [Q] Meat Night Lynn 2007 Feb 18 Sunday at 4pm. I'll have a rack (two?) of ribs coming of the BBQ. I'll need a confirmation on Chris Schlesinger's All-South Rub, however. ______ is promising to bring an animal you couldn't possibly guess. I'm not sure if it will be in the "5 animal chili", or if it supercedes it. I'm informed ______ can't make it. ______ promises adovada pork shoulder. We might have a rib competition if______ brings his own. I don't have a head count, but I think its 5 including myself. Please let me know if you will stop by. There will be a "Free Speech Zone" in the back tier of the the garden. Those opposed to Meat Night are welcome to congregate there, and voice their concerns. A note of caution, that area doubles as the "Free Mila's Doo-Doo Zone". MeatNightInLynn

Chili update: I'm leaving it on all night to simmer. Four products, three meats. Mmmmmmmm.

That meat looks yummy.

Posted by tgl on 2007-02-20 18:37:58 +0000

No photos of the finished ribs. The time elapsed from removal off Weber to insertion into gullet was fairly short. I'm really disappointed I grabbed one package of "baby back ribs". The spareribs were excellent, if I do say so myself, but the baby back ribs did not have enough fat to handle the five hours on the grill. The pork adovada was excellent. Steak tips were perfect. Sorry that the wings got burnt, I should've stayed out of the kitchen. I feel like my insistence on using the broiler was the downfall.

Posted by tgl on 2007-02-20 18:48:11 +0000

Oh! The chili! Next day: Ooooo! The chili!

Posted by Miriam on 2007-02-20 20:11:05 +0000

In honor of meat night, I made homemade mac and cheese with cauliflower, tomato-garlic soup, and broccoli. And had a friend over to share it with me. And my three houseguests enjoyed leftovers this morning. I've been leaving them notes with treats I've cooked for them while they're out at their convention. Sunday night I made them a fritatta with onion, potato and asparagus...which was AWESOME!

Posted by virtue on 2007-02-21 00:49:06 +0000

I believe that is called the ring of fire. And if it was from the adovada, it was chile, not chili. Not that the chili wasn't good, 'cause it was (thanx epoisses), it just wasn't ring of fire hot. I had some pretty hard core ring of fire myself, both yesterday and today. I need to get the final few inches of my colon in shape for Santa Fe in July though, so I prefer to think of it as practice. Especially since I'll be sharing a house with 10 people.

I'm still not right, and today is Tuesday. Wow!
