Cooking with blood

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

I know, it sounds repulsive. But as so much blood is being wasted from the animals we slaughter, why not use it to eat ? At least, that’s what Janet Street-Porter tries to tell us. It’s pretty sickening, and I warn you for some mildly EXPLICIT FOOTAGE FROM THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

An ethical alternative to foie gras

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

Most people that have a problem with foie gras, have a problem with the way the French force-feed their goose. There is good news though. What’s really pissed the French off, is that Spanish producers of foie gras have won the prestigious medal for innovation at the Paris international food salon for their product, an ethical version of foie gras. It’s supposed to have all the yummy goodness, without the force-feeding cruelness. According to Gordon Ramsay, there is still a big difference in taste, and he will continue to use ‘real’ foie gras in his restaurants instead of the ethical foie gras made by PaterĂ­a de Sousa. Judge for yourself.

WARNING: THERE IS SOME EXPLICIT FOOTAGE OF FORCE-FEEDING AND BUTCHERING

Over here in Belgium, horse meat is a pretty common thing. You can buy it in the form of steak, but it’s most commonly sold in the form of very thin smoked slices of horse meat, and you usually eat it on bread. Apparently, it’s still a taboo food in most English-speaking countries such as the UK, the US and Australia. Janet Street-Porter serves up a portion to the British.

This video might offend you, it might shock you, but don’t judge it until you’ve tried it or at least until after you’ve watched this video.
