Imagine the sweetest, juiciest bacon you've ever tasted.

That's what cooked human flesh smells like

I have never hunted for my food...

Is that a good thing? I have always wanted to go hunting, but aside from catching a King George Whiting (and about 3988394839 toadfish, poisonous) I have never myself killed an animal to eat.

I do cultivate vegetables and fruit though in my family's backyard. (If ever you are in Australia, Max, or any of you for that matter, I would be happy to give you some home grown vegetables or fruit.)

From what it sounds like hunting out in Australia sucks

EDIT: Double Post. >_<;

I've never really liked meat, and eat it less commonly than I eat things like beans or nuts for protein. I was a Vegetarian for about 1/3 of my life, and try to have a personal connection with any meat I eat; I fry and eat fish I catch, get beef from a small farm owned by a close family friend, etc. I can't always do that, especially being that I can't fish year-round, and don't care to hunt for wild animals when there are plenty of farm-raised animals for me to eat... but even when I can't, I take some time to personally recognize the animals I eat, what they went through to bring me that meal, and internally thank them for contributing to my life and survival.

It's my one concession to rituals and spirituality.

To combat my severe cold brought on by a number of factors, (one contributing one being that I was splashed head to toe by a malicious driver who saw a puddle and drove through it as I walked past), I made myself an
"ORRIGHT TIME TO HEAL NOW" meal.

Boiled Quinoa for its absurdly high protein levels.
Homegrown Kohlrabi for some protein and high Vitamin C levels.
Homegrown Zucchini for potassium and vitamin A.
Homegrown chilli diced and mixed in for its spice, which very slightly increases metabolic rates and helps to clear the sinuses and throat of phlegm.
Tuna for its high nutrition levels.
Olive oil for comparatively high nutrition levels, and fats to help build energy stores up again.

Mix that all together. Delicious.

Follow that with a non-alcoholic toddy made from hot water, lemon juice, shaved fresh ginger and honey.

I feel a bit better already!

[Reudh]

Yeah.

You could attack a kangaroo but they fight in droves and they're ruthless little buggers from what I've heard. A pack of adult reds will easily defeat a lone human, even if said human is armed with a club/blade.

Emus are even more dangerous. Like Cassowaries, they can kick when cornered, and such a kick can easily eviscerate.

Cool story bro... No really, I'm not being sarcastic, cool story.

Solifuge, you are a pretty chill dude.

[RedWarrior0]

I think it's the spiritual connection growing up next to Ann Arbor, one of the most liberal cities in the States this side of California.

The emu kicks you in the head, tearing the skin, tearing the muscle and pushing the skull trough the brain, bruising it!

I just ordered 5216 pages of A Song of Ice and Fire.
Can't wait till Wednesday for it to arrive...

[penguinofhonor]

We need a "Things that made you hungry today" thread.

Feel free to go a few pages back and bump my food thread. I'll probably add my dinner to it if anyone does.

I am sure the dead animal appreciates the gesture.

We need a "Things that made you hungry today" thread.

Given the sheer number of those types of threads, I think there should be a "Things that made you 'things that made you ... today' Thread" thread.

[Aklyon]

We already have a metathread, its the OOC OOC thread thread.

[kaijyuu]

Yeah but that only exists due to the oppressive and stifling rules of the OOC thread, as it's ruled by a totalitarian dictator.
