Which animal tastes best ?

[ME]

Whilst eating my crispy bacon just now I was thinking how versatile the pig is as an animal to eat. I love bacon, sausages, ham, spare ribs and HOG ROAST

 

But which animal tastes best ? (including fish/birds/any kind of meat)

Must admit the pig is good, but I'd have to go for the cow for it's provision of my sirloin steak

[stubby]

it's got to be pig, you can eat everything barring the oink

[farmerjohn]

it has to be lamb for me

[Clamps]

Which animal tastes best - There's only one way to find out - Fight!!!! :o

[ME]

Of course I do enjoy the occasional fillet steak too... :thumbs:

Kangaroo for me unless you count "beaver"

the cow, Rib roast closely followed by a pig for streaky bacon

Damn! That's a toughie! For our feathered friends, I have to agree with UKPoacher on the Mallard vote. For swine, bovine and ovine they all have their own merits and each can taste better than the other in the right circumstnace. For example, a slice of lamb to go with my breakfast egg wouldn't tick the box but for Sunday night roast with a roast onion and mint sauce it's the tops.

 

Swine is extremely versatile in what you can do with it and how it tastes. Definately a breakfast animal. All that yummy bacon and sausages not to mention black pudding and brawn (ok, not for breakfast but it sure tastes good in sandwiches with a dot of mustard).

 

Bovine for me bovril and for me rib eye steak for an evening treat with chips and eggs. Not to mention steak and pudding.

 

How on earth is one meant to choose from all that?

defineatley lamb with mint sauce then good steak and venison

[Imperfection]

Definetly pig due to the meat being so versatile and having such different flavours in all its guises.

[njc110381]

Lamb or Duck has to be best. As the one flavour that I long for, a good Lamb roast is probably the best. Lets face it though, it's all good.

 

I couldn't be without a Beef rib roast, bacon, Chicken or Duck.

[majordisorder]

I was in Munich several years ago and sampled the "Bavarian Platter", we called it farmyard on a plate.

 

It consisted of Pork steaks, Duck, Chicken, Veal, Sirloin steaks, Lamb, various sausages and a selection of offal all served on a huge copper tray with loads of sauce and potato dumplings.

 

It solved the problem of which was best by providing them all in one big juicy hit

 

Still liked the Pork best though....

[duncan]

Prawns . Those really big ones you get abroad but not the Tiger Prawns .

[welsh1]

The humble Woodpigeon, sautéed in butter and garlic,

 

Closely followed by a rib eye steak.

[davecooper1]

A good lamb roast, followed by rib eye steak, and a good rabbit stew with a cruston top

Has to be the pig, you cant get bored with a pig.....

 

if you ate sirloin every mealtime you would get fed up eventually.....

 

the pig has so many different uses/flavours....

Are you talking Madagascar prawns ?yummmmmy

I love a good aged T bone but it has to be hung a good 42 days,cooked rare,about 32oz and hanging off the plate and a nice lobster tail on the side

[ME]

I am surprised that we havent had more votes for fish, venison, veal and others..
