HappyHen Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Tonight I really fancied a curry, the first one since the girls arrived last Saturday. But.......instead of ch***en biryani I had to order lamb!! Is it just me or has anyone else gone off a certain meat since their eglu arrived!

Guest Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We don't eat any less chicken ( sorry), but we do now make sure that it's free-range chicken that we eat. We're even considering raising 'dinner' chickens, so we know exactly how well they've been treated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHen Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Great idea - it's now only free-range fred in our house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I must admit...I do look at chicken breasts a bit more when im putting them in the roasting dish. Also was looking at my chickens legs today thinking - we eat them......*shudder* to be honest I dont eat much meat at all - I only eat chicken anyway and very little of that. on the other hand hubby is a real carnivore and would eat anything that moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I make the distinction that our chickens are egg chickens, and the ones we eat are meat chickens and entirely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 We gave up chicken after we ordered the Eglu and other meat followed a few weeks later! Happy Veggies are we now and I am losing weight as I eat so much more veg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 We'll only eat good quality meat, free-range, known provenance and so on, and a lot less of it than previously. I'm with Shona.... we keep talking about raising chicks for meat. In principle I'd love to do it, I think that if you eat meat you should be able to face the responsibility of rearing it and slaughtering it.... but I baulk at the slaughter idea, I'd be so scared that I couldn't do it at the end of the day, or that I'd do it wrong and the chicken would suffer needlessly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I think that if you eat meat you should be able to face the responsibility of rearing it and slaughtering it.... but I baulk at the slaughter idea, I'd be so scared that I couldn't do it at the end of the day, or that I'd do it wrong and the chicken would suffer needlessly That's what we decided as well, so we found someone to show us how to do the deed. After being veggie for 25 years I found it really difficult but we did it. I still only eat meat at home - and always 'home grown' or known provenance.

Chicken on a mission Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I don't eat any meat, or anything that doesn't come out of one of my diet food packs for that matter Seriously though we go for free range additive free meat and try not to eat a larger protion than required.
