yeah, me too .. they seem a bit complicated to cook tho so I always avoid em

One of my fave veggie (and diet) foods to cook is ratatouille. I normally do it in a fucking huge pot and freeze it in portions. I add loads of chick peas and chilli to it too, but I'd like to add aubergine but I never know how to cook it, since it's meant to be hard (and involves salt or something?), and you can't just dice it and throw it in apparently.

[edit]

that looks ace kenny. I fucking love aubergine and I love cheese.

I just did a little google cos I too don't know how to cook one, found this:

"salting is optional
In the old days aubergine used to have a bitter flavour which required salting to purge. Modern aubergine varieties have been bred without the bitterness."

also

"three simple steps to cooking aubergine

i. preheat oven
ii. halve aubergine lengthwise and score into chunky diamonds on the cut side.
iii. drizzle with oil and bake until super soft."

I may go and get order some from sainsbury's
 
eh, looks like I could kinda precook it that way with bell peppers in the oven and kinda pre do it before adding to the ratatouille. Would add extra flavour that way too I recon

Nice one, cheers GoS!
 
Sorry guys I've forgotten about this thread for a couple of days ~~~~

I don't get this thing about fishing being cruel and livestock farming being fine. Free range farms may be better than factory farms but sometimes the actual differences really are pretty minimal. I think you said you knew the actual farm so that's different really, Raas. But, as Unka Bob pointed out, those animals still get sent off to the slaughterhouse which is hardly a nice way to go.

If you do visit the slaughterhouse though it will be very hard to come back still claiming moral high ground.

But surely fish that have lived completely free their whole lives before being killed (where death is not a certainty) is more ethical to eat than free range chicken for example, where the death rate is certain (usually at age 16 weeks) with an outdoor allowance of (minimum) 8 hours per day?

The actual method of killing free range animals is the same as factory bred animals, where they are shipped off to the slaughterhouse. Chickens are often tied onto a conveyor belt by their feet and have their throats cut. Cows usually have the bolt method used on them which is a lot quicker.

Sorry bit late with this one -

Uncle Bob - By law land animals (Chicken, lamb, pigs etc) Must have a bolt through the brain, to knock them out before slaughter. Just like the cows.

The problem with large industrial slaughterhouses (for instance, KFC), because of the many thousands of birds they kill each day, some don't get stunned properly, leaving them headed for the horror of being plucked alive and, if they survive it, in line to be washed in boiling water :( This kind of thing (to my knowledge) doesn't really happen in local free range farms.

Also, prior to death, industrialised chickens are "packaged" into creates. As the slaughterhouses are always very expedient in ethic, the chickens are crammed into the crates and will be held there for some time until slaughter.

- The free range chickens may die at just 16 weeks, but remember, if it wasn't for the farm they would never have existed at all. I don't see the harm in growing meat, as long as it's lived and died without having suffered.

Shambles - The difference between livestock in ethical farms and fish from the sea, is that the livestock should be knocked unconscious by stunning apparatus. My concern with the larger fish is the pain of the hook pulling them out of the ocean - Especially as they are known to pierce through the eye, (wonder if MM can confirm or dismiss that rumour)... and of course suffocation. Though I appreciate this is not the case here with MM and his baseball bat.

Pretty fucking horrific. This kind of thing is what turned my dad off eating meat, he'll eat free range eggs iirc but nought else.

Surprised the chickens kfc use have feathers to begin with considering the state they're left in inside battery farms.

I'll still eat it all though that's the power of out of sight out of mind.
