Poll question: How do you like your steak?
I went out for a delicious steak dinner tonight with some friends, and I was struck how the three of us differed in our preference of meat doneness. I like mine medium well. What about you?

57. I agree.
Ever since that cow bolted on his way to the slaughterhouse I've been unable to even peruse the meat setion in supermarkets.

48. How do we like that? Um, typical.
Congratulations on your "most painful and inhumane possible!"

Congratulations also on your most interesting and creative grammar. Way to go!

52. Oh, forgive me. That was hilarious.
Whatever could I have been thinking?


And "hippie?" Oh, that's nearly worthy of Hannity.

Dumbass.

I know I shouldn't let it bother me. I know.

Lesson: don't look at these threads. They're bait and I shouldn't bother.

Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 12:31 AM by nothingshocksmeanymo
You posted this thread a minute after this thread (which originally was a PETA slamming treatise) was locked.

And this post makes it imminently clear that the only purpose this "how do you like your steak" question serves is nothing more than a ruse to antagonize vegetarians.

I may eat meat but I respect people who don't and don't go out of my way to overtly antagonize them.

WHat the fuck is up with that?

Same 4 or 5 posters trying to antagonize vegetarians and just basically be junior-high babies.

I eat meat but see no reason to slam you for your choices in life.

24. I appreciate that very much.
Thank you :) The whole gang mentality thing and childish insults are just getting a little redundant by now.

I really appreciate your understanding...really. :)

47. You have your viewpoint, I have mine...
I have no use for anyone who uses sensationalism like PeTa does in attacking my right to eat meat, watch a rodeo, or own a pet. Research their true intent and you may not support them.

53. With all due respect...
The one who needs to do the research is you. I have a sneaking suspicion that you've only ever gotten your information about PeTA from people who hate PeTA.

You are obviously a smart person...if you could get past the stereotypes first and actually understand the core values of PeTA with an open, non-judgmental mind, I'd bet you'd agree with most of their values at least on a basic level.

28. Went back and read the threads
you posted.

:(

I just got here and wouldn't have taken part had I seen the rest.
Live and learn.

I support people's right to choose the foods they eat. It's too bad that it has to turn into a slam fest.

20. No, but I'll look for it.
I buy HUGE bottles of HP when I go home for a visit. Bought a few extras this last time and gave them to friends at work. I can't imagine why it's not available in the USA though. If it is, I can't find it.

25. I should have been clearer...
I used to get it in Canada when I lived there, I'm from Scotland originally and grew up with it, came to the USA and cannot get it .. unless I buy online and I'm SURE they charge a small fortune for it. So I stock up when I visit home.

Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 12:46 AM by auntAgonist
almost like a thick worcestershire. Very dark brown and has just the right tang to it. It's a malt vinegar base with blend of fruits and spices. NOTHING like A-1 though. A-1 yuk.
