    One meat only, which one do you pick?

    A local sandwich shop does a roast baguette every lunch time, a different one every day - pork, lamb, beef, turkey and gammon. We get them sometimes and recently discussed - if you could only ever eat one meat again, which one would you pick?

    I immediately said beef as I thought of steak and burgers. Then on consideration I went for pork as I thought - pork, bacon, sausages and crackling. Curious as to what others would choose.

    I’ve tried to keep it simple - beef, pork, chicken and lamb (as I’m guessing they are the most eaten meats), others (any other meat like duck, partridge, pheasant, snake, goose etc) or I don’t eat meat.

    I’m sure someone will question how I do a meat poll without putting in hummingbird, but this is the best I could come up with :-)

    Chicken

    Versatile, easy to mass farm, eggs as a by product and I really like a roast chicken.

    Has to be pork, a most versatile meat, ham, sausage, bacon, chops, roast, scratchings, pie.
    Edit. I would choose it just for the bacon alone.

    Beef...... Steaks, burgers, pies, mince, beef sandwiches, oxtail soup, beef bourguignon, spaghetti and meatballs, beef casserole, corned beef, beef wellington.......not necessarily all at once....
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    If we don't choose chicken would we still be allowed eggs? I was torn between beef and lamb until I thought of eggs!

    The egg thing has caught me out. Never thought of the by products. Decisions decisions. Okay I’m going to allow eggs even if you don’t choose chicken.

    Beef - so many products, though not quite as versatile as pork or chicken, it's my fav.

    This! ^^^

    Beef is versatile (what about milk?), Lamb is delicious but Chicken makes sense from a Brexit plague island survival perspective!

    Oh, if I’m being wanky then Kudu from South Africa was bloody fantastic!

    So in the end I think I have failed to answer your question!

    I feel I’ve let you down, or worse disappointed you. On the other hand I think you’re just trying to get the chicken vote up

    One meat only, which one do you pick?

    What a dilemma. I mostly eat chicken but love steak and love bacon. I’d have to go Beef and make more beef curries.


    But how could I pass up a 24oz T Bone I rustled up last week.

    Lamb.
    Lamb chops, dauphinoise, asparagus is my death row meal.
    I was tempted by beef for a short moment due to versatility but why settle for second best.
    I could live forever on lamb chops, roast lamb, lamb burgers, hot pot, lamb rump steak, shepherds pie, lamb kebabs and lamb bacon.
    I would obviously prefer pork bacon but need to think of the bigger picture.
    Mmmmm.... meat.

    Not touched it for 2 years and never missed or desired it since, when I was on meat Lamb was succulent and indulgent, Chicken was practical and functional and pork was quick and dirty alla bacon butty

    On the basis that it’s a TZ thing to often respond to a thread without reading the OP I have voted “all other meats”.😀

    I would happily stick to Venison, Duck, Pheasant, Pigeon, Grouse and Turkey as my “all other meats” choice.

    I remember asking some German colleagues once if they ate swans.

    They looked at me as if I was insane, but it doesn't seem any more strange than eating a goose to me.

    I guess if could only have one meat I'd choose Chicken, but I'd hate to have to choose.

    Hard choice...but I think you've summed it up for me but don't forget lard, gammon, salami, spam, luncheon meat, suckling pig, pork belly, crackling...

    Beef is the one thing you can eat, in one form or another, 7 days a week. Just as well as I have had to put two casualty starts in the Freezer in the last two months.
    Going to take a while for two of us to eat two bullocks, even with my appetite for meat

    Surprised no one has mentioned fish. Everything from Cod, tuna, Turbot, Plaice, etc, through to crab, lobster, scallops, Mussels, etc through to squid, prawns, octopus, through to roe and caviar. So many different tastes, textures and methods of cooking.

    Good lamb is my absolute favourite meat but I voted for Pork for the variety, and specifically bacon.

    OK...which one of those would you choose? Or would you go with one of the meats on offer?

    As much as I could eat myself to an arterial death on the tasty alternatives, has to be chicken for the clean protein.

    What species of fish would you chose? most people have chosen a specific mammal to chew on, having an entire class of animals to chose seems to be cheating a bit considering the OP.

    Well given that fish isn’t a category, then for me the “all other meats” will have to do. Along with Duck, goose, snake, etc.

    That's akin to saying mammal though, in fact worse since many aren't fish at all.

    I’m surprised nobody has mentioned multicellular organisms. Now there really is a wide and varied choice of textures,tastes & methods. None of that unicellular organism nonsense though...you can take your protozoa and sod off.

    I immediately thought of baby Panda veal fillet steaks, but then settled on Beef.

    As much as I love a good bacon sandwich 🥪, and lots of different varieties of sausages, beef is a better form of protein, more satisfying to eat, and hugely versatile.

    Thankfully I don’t need to limit my meat choices, so I’ll continue to enjoy lots of different meats.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Meat, fish, eggs, saturated fat and some dairy and you’re sorted.

    Carnivore diet for me 2021. Been low carb 80/20 for many years but now I’m fully committed.
