When I was a child I would eat all meats, but not Lamb, as I always thought of little woolly lambs proinging around fields. So, my Mum told me that there was a different meat, called 'BeefLamb', which I happily ate. I was ten years old before I discovered the truth! I'm not completely thick, even though BeefLamb was delicious!!!
I enjoy eating meat very much, but this strikes me as rather sad. I admit that I would be vegetarian if I had to kill anything myself. I know that is a bit hypocritical.
I get what you're saying. I'm trying to eat less meat, and try to ensure there are good welfare standards on the farms. But it is hard to be consistent.
I grew up with a memory of my grandmother serving roast lamb with mint sauce, etc, and a baked suet batter pudding instead of Yorkshire pudding which is more for roast beef. That suet batter with the gravy was wonderful!
Woolly pork chops? Sheepish spare ribs?

ReplyDeleteThinking about it, is that why Stephen Fry describes oddities as "Normal for Norfolk"?
ReplyDeleteNFN has been an expression for well over 30 years. It was allegedly coined by medics and social workers to indicate a 'peasant or rustic streak'.

Is this like Dick King Smiths "sheep-pig"?
DeleteI think I was just a gullible child, and when Mum told me that BeefLamb came from cows, not sheep, I believed her and enjoyed it!
DeletePlags? Limbs?
ReplyDeleteThere must be a better word than those two...
