In Western Norway there is a little town called Voss with four to five thousand human inhabitants and about ten times as many sheep. (I expect Mel to respond to this one)
In the cold and white Winters, when food was scarce, rather than wasting a "perfectly good" piece of meat, they take the sheep's head, smoke it in their "stabbur" (a little house outside the farm for keeping your food). They sliced it up the middle.

In Norway there is also a place called Hel on the road to Trondheim. Its got a long road tunnel running underneath it. I've been through Hel, or under it. In fact I stopped off and nicked a small road sign. Its ok they are used to that, apparently.
Here ( meaning Slovakia ancd Czech) we have a supermarket called Hypernova.
Last week in the news there was a report about them distributing meat that was far from expire date - the meat was GREEN!
They found several in the storage freezers.
When they wanted to put them into selling, they cut off the green parts and put the rest into the shooping freezer.

Disgusting!
They do this in the UK too, but in this country it's called 'Halal' meat ;)
No, but I've seen the split carcass of my poor albin, and his entrails all over the joint, and his blood in a bucket. I'm only glad I missed him getting a bolt in the nut.
It's 'no fair. Shouldn't have had to end like that.
It's a lot easier t be vegetraian now than it was 17 years ago when I stopped eating meat. For some reason every restaurant thought veggies only ate nut cutlets. And lentils.

Thats so true, nut cutlets 'R us. Also why do they think veggies like things shaped like meat products, ie vegetarian sausages. Even worse is when you go for a meal with your work colleagues and the chef tuts because only you out 20 people, don't want steak and kidney pie, and by the time they have all finished you're only getting served.
I actually hate stuff like Nut cutlets and lentils, but LOVE stuff like veggie sausages.
The 'Cauldron' ones are particularly nice, but they're so bloody expensive.
I love the taste of meat, but I do feel guilty eating meat (which a some think is stupid). So anything that is similar in taste and texture, but without animals in is a plus for me.
As a side note, when my first daughter was born, I wanted to give her a proper choice by giving her a meat free diet until she was old enough to realise where meat came from - then she could choose if she wanted to eat it or not.
I got serious hassle and abuse from EVERYONE who found out - so much so that I relented after about 3 months.
Some people had a real problem with it, saying it was tantamount to child neglect.
I only wish that I had been given that chance from an early age, then I might have stuck to not eating meat.
My two youngest kids have never eaten meat, and if they are offered it just turn their noses up. My youngest is two, and he accidentally put some ham in his mouth at nursery & spat it out. He eats everything we give him!
Both mid-wives that the kids had told us that it's the best diet a child can have.
I think it's maybe the area you live in.. Nottingham, though not too far from here, is a pretty modern thinking and open minded place (you only have to look at the shops to see that!)
We live in a small rural village, where most people have a link to farming in one form or another. It seems everyone is brought up on sausages, acelet, stuffed chine and brawn. If it didn't used to Oink or go Moo, then it's not good for you. (Unless its cabbages or spouts).
You hear it all the time...
My Dad used to eat fatty bacon and brawn every day, smoked 80 fags, and worked on the land 7 days a week and lived to be 80
No no no, you're all wrong! See, it all happened like this. Loads of years ago, when even I was a mere mortal, a geezer called Simon Nottingham made the worlds' first map of Britain. He was so proud of his work he signed it - hence S.Nottingham. It's true, I have interrogated his soul and he has confessed. Actually, I just got him drunk enough to admit it.

Then they eat it with mustard and a bit of sausage.

I'm seriously thinking of giving up meat. (I've done it before, but find it difficult sticking to it)

Just thought ya'd like to know.
You've no idea how much that helps.
Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Snottingham. not quite the same ring. Wonder why they dropped the S.
I heard that too somewhere but can't remember where or when. I've been telling people that for years but they just laugh at me. It's got to be true.
