What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[ohjimmyjimmy]

I'm missing the point here, is there a reason we shouldn't be eating reindeer, is it an endangered species or something? Is it considered more wrong because it's got a fuzzy warm christmassy persona that a cow doesn't have? Genuinely curious, i'm not well up on reindeer trivia!

The point is if you'll only consider not eating a species when it has reached endangered status, that is not a healthy way to manage the ecosystem. flying reindeer meat halfway around the world is stupid when there is locally available managed veal to be had. Eating reindeer just because is one step away from grinding tiger bones into aphrodisiac powder.

Maybe so.
But why is it acceptable for people to pop to Sainsbury's and buy New Zealand lamb or some fish from Spain etc etc.

It's all stupid, agreed, but flying reindeer meat halfway round the world isn't any worse than the other produce we crave from overseas.

Anyhow, i'm not gonna buy the stuff.

And the argument isn't over just warm blooded cute animals - the argument is equally valid when seahorses are being shipped in their thousands, when beluga whales are hauled out of the ocean, when fxcking red seaweed from the coral sea is ripped out by the ton to ship over to Argentina because it's the latest cheapo fertilizer. Stop fxcking up the planet! By buying reindeer meat you create a market - next year more will be processed, and they don't just turn up and queue, humans keeping themselves warm and burning fossil fuels and laying tarmac roads over the fxckin tundra is concommitant to somebody having an 'innocent' reindeer steak.

I don't know what anyone else's point is, Jimmy - but mine was fairly simple - simply this - a slightly tongue-in-cheek comment about eating reindeer at christmas when many of the cards we send and the songs we sing (with the children) feature lovely cuddly reindeer... the irony of it...

that's basically it!

I'd eat Reindeer meat.. Just because.

Not sure I'd make it a staple part of my diet, but I'd eat it.

you just agreed to a generic 'no miserable c*nts' ruleset! And now you come along and upset me, just because

Surely the reindeer meat could fly itself?

Reindeer meat's very similar to pastrami, Jimmy. Or at least the way that they serve it in Sweden it is.

Well, we wouldn't want Bambi to have died in vain now would we?!

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Not saying another word on the subject...


...except to say that Pastramis are on the WWF endangered species red list, and Scandinavian Lesser Spotted Pastramis are close to extinction.

It was Bambi's mother !

Admittedly, by now Bambi's probably dead too (sorry folks, hope this isn't all a spoiler), but the one in the actual film was his mummy.

I get the feeling that misunderstanding is a constant source of annoyance to you !

And the dead one on the back cover of The Great Rock n Roll Swindle under the heading 'Who Killed Bambi?' was Bambi, and is now on ohjimmyjimmy's Bambi sandwiches!

[ohjimmyjimmy]

and i'm going to have my bambi sandwich on bimbo bread !
