Who wants some fake meat

[Brickjectivity]

Still have & use me choppers.
Preparing food is wimin's work.

Some men make the preparers chew the food for them. Its more civilized that way and helps save your teeth and that of your guests. I don't do it, because I'm an ungentlemanly rogue.

 

[Revoltingest]

We shall have less of that sexist talk here thank you very much

I am woke & progressive, but not house broken yet.

 

[ChristineM]

That's right, we all know that all of the best chefs in the world are men

Yes, one of humanities paradoxes

No, I am not a Ferengi.

No excuse. Get your pinny on (do they have pinnys or apronsin the US) and start learning. I trained my hubby up for when i went in hospital, he still thanks me and makes some wonderful dishes (lousy food but great dishes)

I had to look that dish up. After seeing a few recipes, I am all in. I am a big fan of lamb.

I use neck fillets. It's great dish and good for freezing if you make a lot at once. My son took some on a school camping expedition and was the envy of the group, while the rest were eating their horrible pot noodles, enabling him to bolster his stereotypical image as a Frenchman.

 

[exchemist]

Vegetarian schmegetarian. Who told you that I didn't eat meat?

Unfortunately this would be a double run in with the housemate. I know enough French to spot a lamb when I see one. Now I love lamb. The housemate, not so much.

I didn't mean you, I was referencing the OP.

I don't want to dis women too much. My mother was an example of a very talented home cook. I still need to find some of her recipes. And she would make pies like no one else. Pies in America are almost always a desert item. Her rhubarb pie was legendary. It is not just the filling. One needs to know how to make a crust too. I have tasted countless pies that fail because their crust seemed to be almost an afterthought.

Ooh, lamb neck. Good stuff. The local grocery never seems to have a lot of it. One can only make a stew for one with the amount they tend to put into a package. I find it to be very similar to Ox tails in the result.

That's so generous to believe that I'm trainable.

I am petty good at pastry, both sweet and savoury. When i make a casserole i always make more and freeze the leftover. When i am stuck for a meal, make some pastry, spoon the thawed casserole i to parcels of pasty to make pasties.

I new trick i picked up when making apple pie (i guess it would be ok in rhubarb pie too) is to mix in a teaspoon full of cinnamon when making the pastry

Me too.

My consumption of lamb is usually limited to breakfast. I will do a lambchop or two with eggs and hashbrowns if I make a big breakfast.

You eat that for breakfast? What do you have for lunch? Toast and eggs?

Perhaps he works night shifts or something.

I love good food. I don't even consider fast food to be food, so anything fake is not even on my radar. If it's not real, I don't want it.
I don't mind being a vegetarian if it comes to that. There are loads of amazing things to eat in the plant world. I don't even like meat that much so becoming a vegetarian wouldn't be a huge sacrifice, but fake meat, no way.
This video from dr. Berg explains it better than I could

There's a lot of peddling for this kind of "food" going on and I'm sure there are a lot of companies looking at the amount of money they'll be able to make from the Frankenstein trends. I believe there are better ways to save the environment and respect animals while eating sustainably.
What's your take on this?

I didn't read the whole thread, but I think this guy is conflating "synthetic meat" with "plant-based 'meat'."

When I hear "synthetic meat," I'm thinking lab-grown rather than plant-based "meats" like Impossible Foods or Beyond Meat.

Haven't you ever had steak and eggs for breakfast? It is usually a small steak and one or two lamb chops are about the same size.

But if I do have a large breakfast I do often skip lunch altogether.

I never could get the concept behind steak and eggs for breakfast. But i guess a full English breakfast would seem strange to you.

Same here. And one possibility for labs grown meat is that it may some day replace meat from animals. There are moral and ethical problems with butchering and that goes beyond just the slaughterhouse.

Cultural differences is all. I wouldn't mind trying a full English breakfast.

Also sometimes breakfast is whatever is easiest. Leftovers from last night will sometimes do. And then there is the Breakfast of Champions, leftover room temperature pizza!

Had breakfast of champions this morning but there was no steak or lamb chop, or even egg on it.

The closest thing I have to breakfast is a black coffee. My first meal of the day is lunch.
