Converting Vegetarians

[Anodizer]

So, my wife and I had another couple over who decided to become vegetarians about 12 years ago..
Both a whiter than ghosts and about as thin as you can get before being anorexic. 
They obviously lack protein intake  (not eating enough nutts or whatever vegetards eat to get what little protein they can without feeling guilty).

So, amongst the grilled vegetables I made for them (heh, which I basted with au jus to spite them ),
I grilled them a 12 oz porterhouse(mid-rare) they could split if they so decided to eat..  Hell, I'd have offered to make them another if they wanted!
They consumed the steak in it's entirety and even sucked on the bone for a while..  It was really a delightful experience! 


Anyhow, I am proud to say that I have become their meat-ambassador and they both have been fully converted omnivores like the
rest of us (sane?) people..

 A childhood friend of mine earned the nickname 'Duckfat Matt' after being sacked from his job in a French ski resort for serving a challet of vegetarians roast taters cooked in duck fat. They loved the meal and thanked him none the wiser. Matt, ever the showman decided to boast about getting away with it that night during apres ski. He got reported and sacked, shipped back to blighty!
 
 It turned out that he was grassed up by a girl who he and another chef had made a bet on to see who could make her cry the most times in the season.

Don't get me wrong..  I dig some hippie and yuppie food too!  Hell, catering to them is my career(chef)!
My wife makes some kick-arse roasted red pepper hummus!  I love sushi..  But, nothing..Absolutely nothing
beats beef...Especially when you get into stuff like Kobe...

had a girlfriend who was a vegetarian because she felt it was mean to animals, so i finally told her the animals are already dead and her not eating meat is making them die for nothing, that and she had alot of leather stuff, shes a carnivor now lol

I'm currently dating a vegetarian.  I've increased my intake of vegetables and fruits because of it and feel great.

Hippies still love you though, sticks and stones and all.

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures right next to the mash potatoes.

I've got a shirt that says that 

Wild game is absolutely the BEST meat you can eat.  It's not processed and pumped with that organic crap.  Very good for you, too!

Yeah, I saw it in an email and it has stuck with me. I don't know about it all being the best. Squirrel is a bit gamey. I sure would eat it though if it's on my plate.

If cooked right, squirrel doesn't taste that gamey.  And, like any wild game that you want to get the gamey taste out of, soak the meat in salt water for a little while (usually overnight).  It helps tremendously with taking that wild taste away. 

Another trck we use (we only do this with duck breast) is to soak the meat in buttermilk overnight.  It draws the blood out and takes the wild taste away as well.  I'm not sure if it works on other meat.
