The Ithaca Farmer's Market and the Union Square Green Market both have surprisingly extensive meat selections. The Union Square market even has fish as well as a lot of the exotic meats like bison, pheasant, guinea fowl, etc. No ostrich yet, sadly.
I'm here because cottonmanifesto said to My meat consumption varies from week to week. I probably eat it more than a few (3) times, but not necessarily every day. Anyway, I'm putting a few.
Oh, and I'm about an even split for where I get my meat. It's between restaurants and grocery store (usually inside frozen dinners or cheapy hot dogs that may not even be meat)
For all intends and purposes, a squid. Well, no, on this forum there will probably be a slew of posts about DNA, cellular structure and a bunch of latin terms, but for the layman, a squid that's fairly common in the seafood section of you're local grocer. At least they were when I lived back east. I don't usually look in the seafood section out here because the idea of "fresh" seafood in the desert strikes me as ludicrous.
I'd like to keep both birds in the future--I'm not sure which one will be harder to kill (sentimentally speaking).
The pigeon was used in Mediterranean food for thousands of years before chickens were brought back from Asia. Pigeon is still the bird of choice in Moroccan food today.
If either of those species become endangered, even hardcore, James Watt Republicans might admit there's something wrong with the ecosystem. No, probably not. Let's hope the bird flu doesn't test that theory.
I almost /never/ cook meat at home, because meat is expensive and I don't need to eat it. However, when I go to a restaurant or fast food, I'll usually order something containing meat. So my meat consumption is highly variable, from almost every day to not at all.
And going to the sushi bar is a great way to tick off a whole mess of animals - salmon, tuna, mackerel, crab, shrimp, squid, octopus, sea urchin, eel, etc.
I notice that you didn't include shellfish in your poll - oversight, or purposeful?

Yeah, I learned from watching "Iron Chef," those Japanese will eat any nasty thing from the sea. Crab brains, sea urchin roe...

Oversight. I wondered if anyone was going to write in snails, but I totally spaced on bivalve mollusks. Probably subconciously deliberate, as I think the idea is disgusting.
To me they're just marine earthworms with shells, burrowing through the sand eating organic grit. I won't expound further; I've established earlier that I hate food from the ocean. It's regrettable, I know.
You left out "Food not bombs sometimes gets donated pre-made chicken sandwiches and the hardcore vegans won't touch them, so I eat them thus making the animal not die in vain and leaving more food for the vegans"
That, and sometimes I will eat salmon when Blair buys it and cooks it. She's been given strict doctors orders to eat some fish, and I've been given a strong suggestion. Oddly, I have been eating more fish as I have been more adamantly avoiding eggs and dairy.

Date: 2005-10-31 07:34 pm (UTC)yeah, eating seafood in Kansas is equally ludicrous. not to mention kind of ill-advised. they're not too fresh sometimes after the trip.

Cuttlefish are for all intents and purposes squid, in as much as pigeons are basically chickens.

They are popular in certain kinds of Asian cuisine, and I often see them in Asian markets flattened and dried.
