'Bleeding' vegan burger is an 'existential threat' to beef' whines NZ MP

[Teaboy]

Just wait for Brexit, Spy - we'll be able to make our own laws.
We'll be able to eat burgers so rare you'll be able to reach over and milk them at the same time.

Whilst simultaneously using the milking bucket as a make-shift commode and it'll be good old fashioned British food poisoning, none of this imported French gut rot bollocks.

Weirdly I think there was a viz cartoon about this in the Christmas edition.

 

[8ball]

I was thinking the exact opposite. Post-brexit, burn-to-a-crisp will become the new rule for all meat.

We'll have our own laws - do what you like!
It's gonna be amazing. Like Heartbeat meets Star Trek.

Whilst we're on the subject (and I'm struggling to find the motivation to work post Xmas) what do you lot think about raw pork? The top restaurants will serve it pink because they know the provenance or that's how the story goes. Not sure I would have wanted to eat under pork unless it was in a very expensive place.

In Germany metwurst and meals made with met (raw pork mince) are quite common. It's far from posh I can assure you.

We may die of food poisoning, but we'll die on our feet, dammit!
Not on our knees.

Given the potential risks involved I think I would prefer to know the provenance or at least trust someone to be very discerning about these things. These things come with a price. From what little time I've spent in Germany there does seem to be in general a more relaxed approach to risk, or maybe the UK is over the top in its risk averse ways.

I doubt there is more of a risk than with any other form meat preparation if you do it properly. I've never hear of outbreaks of food poisoning just because of Mett.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

When I was super broke and eating meat I used to eat those Richmond sausages.

I don't understand them at all, they are not even that cheap, and have adverts and everything, yet they are one of the most foul things you can stuff in your job. About a year or so ago I got some for 50p in the cheap isle. I vowed never to be fooled again at any price. Who buys them???

 

[Idris2002]

Can anyone muster any fucks?

How can you be 'opposed' to a fucking food that is infinitely better for the planet? Stupid cunt.
'Bleeding' vegan burger is an 'existential threat' to beef industry, warns New Zealand MP

Ah Winston Peters. One of my TAs in Auckland told me she'd heard speak at some event where he started holding forth on his travels through Europe as a young man. On visting Ireland, apparently, he was shocked by the "poor cuts of meat" in Irish butchers' windows.

There you have it New Zealand - your deputy PM looks at the world in terms of meat. Everything looks like meat to him.

"If these thoughts interest you for even a second, you are lost".

They were the cheapest sausages I could afford back then. Awful slop.

And there was me thinking “Richmond” sounded kind of posh and fancy.

Think I’ll pass if I’m ever buying sausages.

Think the Richmond may refer to the northern place, rather than the one in London...

Still, loving the way vegan burger thread has seamlessly moved on to the best way to serve almost raw meat

I think they were branded as being Irish.

What is the meat content of Richmond sausages?
The proposals will lower the legal minimum meat content, so that pork sausages would only have to contain 42% meat as newly defined.” So it appears that the Richmonds are adhering - to the decimal point - to the new rule.

There is some specific risk with Pork which is not the case with other some other meats. This is where the provenance thing comes in.

If memory serves correct pigs on the continent are more of intensively farmed in general and if they never go outside then theoretically their food can be highly controlled and the risk reduced. Of course that brings other issues with it but we all know about that.

 

[Teaboy]

Yes they used to be branded heavily on the 'Irish Recipe' thing. Then 10 or so years ago (maybe less) there was a food scare of Irish pork, may have been foot & mouth but I can't remember. After that they played down the Irish thing.

I know that, but there are also very stringent laws in place in Germany when it comes to food hygiene and preparation and there aren't any outbreaks of "mett poisoning" here to my knowledge. I don't know of any more pople getting food poisoning here than when I lived in the UK. So we are talking about theoretical risks here and I've forgotten what the point was.

Good move. I tried them once because I liked the TV advert. When cooked they are half hollow! Fuck knows what the cases are made of but they're thick and crumbly.

Totes natural life for those happy pigs!

The missing bit when they're cooked represents what they paid for the advert.

I dunno if they still make them, but there's a brand of cigarettes called Richmond. Like the sausages they are an exceptionally awful example of the genre, after smoking one of those things the skin on my face feels filthy and I want to shower.

I think I might just avoid anything called "Richmond".

Yeah, the British had the attitude at one time, with some justification, that their farming standards were higher than those of most of Europe. That's not true any more, according to Compassion in World Farming, which campaigns to end factory farming. For them, Germany's welfare standards are now higher than the UK's. And we're already seeing very worrying signs of more intensive US-style super-farms for dairy, creeping in under the radar. It's yet another reason to be fucked off with brexit -as CiWF point out, they campaign and have won victories in things like sow and veal crates at an EU level, and one victory is won across the EU. No longer true, and for a British-based group, influence is only going to diminish with brexit.

 

[not-bono-ever]

might have trouble exporting our flesh to the EU if we go for the lowest common denominator. maybe north korea would be up for some kind of currency free barter agreement

The last posh burger restaurant I went to said all its meat was from Argentina, so manufactured/minced way away from prying eyes. It was a nice burger, I had it well done. No blood.

Almost certainly farmed like this then.

Intensive beef production is rapidly becoming the norm in the UK.

Research by the Guardian and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has established that the UK is now home to a number of industrial-scale fattening units with herds of up to 3,000 cattle at a time being held in grassless pens for extended periods rather than being grazed or barn-reared.

Intensive beef farms, known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are commonplace in the US. But the practice of intensive beef farming in the UK has not previously been widely acknowledged – and the findings have sparked the latest clash over the future of British farming.
