The only place I know where they refer to pies as "meat pies" is australia. It seems to be a lower standard over there.
I like my meat in non-pie form. I assume that if you have to stuff it in a pie, you're probably hiding something.
You could say the same about all forms of food preparation Why put it in a sauce, why put it in a chili, bread, smoke it, BBQ it, steam it. etc etc. Pies may have started off as a way of using all the odd scraps but they're definitely improved now. If you're that worried about the contents, source them yourself. This pie has nice chunks of beef. It's the ones where the innards look like the pie you pointed to that are foul. Incidentally, I like my people naked. I assume if they're wearing clothes, they've got something to hide.
@supersonic In one of those meat videos, the guy describes "the meat sweats" which I guess is some kind of withdrawal symptom for people who eat huge quantities of meat. Do you ever get the meat sweats? Edit: I'm starting to think these Canadians make us look like amateurs:
I believe I've only had this meat sweat happen once. I ate a some (aka alot) corned beef hash, and it was disgustingly good. But I think there was so much sodium it was actually fucking with my nervous system. Contrary to popular belief, I don't eat that much meat regularly. In fact, my "day off" diet usually involves gorging on carbs (pancakes) which I try to avoid the rest of the week. Withdrawal is different, and very real. Happens shortly after Thanksgiving and Christmas (for me). I usually spend those weeks eating whatever I want, then trying to kick it cold turkey after the week is over. When you try to go back to your healthy diet after a week of junk food, you literally are no better than a heroin addict. It takes me about 2-3 days of suffering before the cravings subside. But even on a healthy diet, I try to keep a mini-break day on Wednesday, and a full break day on Saturday. When I didn't have break days, I'd go maybe 7-8 days on brown rice, and protein shakes before a IHOP commercial would make me snap.
THIS IS THE BEST THREAD EVER CREATED!!! I just read through the whole thing. It needs to be published into a book.
Jamie Oliver has been banned from making any more shows about fat kids in LA eating shit foods at school.. Can't let the rest of the world know you are feeding kids Pizza for breakfast and classing 'french fries' as vegetables! http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Showbiz-News/Jamie-Oliver-Food-Revolution-Filming-Banned-In-LA-Amid-Concerns-Schools-Would-Look-Unhealthy/Article/201102115924947?lpos=Showbiz_News_First_Home_Article_Teaser_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15924947_Jamie_Oliver_Food_Revolution:_Filming_Banned_In_LA_Amid_Concerns_Schools_Would_Look_Unhealthy
Pizza can be eaten for every meal of the day. And french fries are vegetables. They're made from potatoes. Ketchup is also a vegetable.
The whole point is that American school authorities are serving them everyday and saying the kids are getting their veggies. It doesn't really count when they have been cooked in a vat of fatty oil.
So does that make crisps/chips vegetables? Technically yes, but that's not going to count towards your five a day. Tomato on pizza doesn't count either. By the time it reaches your plate the nutrients are long gone
We're not Belgian or Dutch; they're the ones famous for the mayonnaise on their fries. Although to be honest, I'm one of the sick puppies that likes Mayo on their fries...I've been to Holland and Belgium quite a bit since I was a kid.
