I'm a species-specific eater. I don't eat beef or pork because I like pigs and cows they are adorable and I wish them all the best.

I do eat lamb, because sheep are idiots and I got kicked by one as a child. For similar reason, I would also eat horse if it was commercially available.

Chickens would eat me if our sizes were reversed so they are fair game too. If you didn't want to get farmed you shoulda stayed T-Rex sized.

I eat mushrooms, but I am a little apprehensive about it because I know they are smarter than humans

I was about to disagree with you, but then I realized that some humans are certainly dumber than a mushroom

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Some? Around a third I would say.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I've heard goats are like mushrooms 👍

horse is good eating. good for the climate too, since horses require so much maintenance. if we eat'em, they're gone.

There's an awkward open secret in the UK.

The new forest has a significant 'wild' pony population. More than the forest can support over winter. The excess is gathered up and sold. While some are brought as riders, most are sold to france. On a completely unrelated note. France has no problem eating horse.

I tried. It's ok. I prefer pork or beef.

there's a smoked horse sausage here that's great. it's very different than beef or pork so it can't be used in the same way, but it's very good.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

That's what I tried. Long, thin, smoked and dried sausage. It was ok as I said but not better than beef or pork versions of the same kind of sausage. Or boar.

here it comes in two varieties, one is about 10cm across, one about 5 and comes as a ring. don't know how the big ones are made but i assume they are boiled. good sandwich spread.

How about gooses or ducks? Or deer? Or rabbits? I'm strangely intrigued.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have no quarrel with these animals

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You have never been close to a goose than.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Never been close to a tiger either.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Valid comparison.
