A Breath of fresh air

[Preston]

If you disbelieve in eating meat, then it must be sinful...to you.

Well it is, I am a sinner, if you will. I would eventually like to lose my craving for flesh/meat. Though it remains.

I guess my main point is that, no I do not consider the eating of flesh to be a pure thing. That is all.

[Sorrano]

Though I do eat it and regularly, imo, flesh is a very sickening food substance. I believe it is a sin to eat flesh. What do you think?

I believe it is not a sin to eat flesh, so long as it is not human (though there may be exceptional conditions where one could be obliged to).

Do I detect an Englishman turning up his nose? If I am right, it would be foolish, as cuttlefish and pigs' noses are quite delicious (and not unknown in Strasbourg). Cheese with live maggots, though, I have never tried. Perhaps you will prepare that for me if ever I visit you. I did once eat a rather large maggot in the jungle of Ecuador some years ago; I won't say it was delicious, but at least I gave it a go; better were the tree ants that tasted of bitter lemon.
I have a nice menu for you, Headmaster, in light of recent riotous events in your "civilized" England (and not Wales or Scotland) :
Antipasti : baked Nike soles with stolen Malibu;
First dish : crushed Hundayi wide-screen TVs in Molatov white spirit sauce;
Main dish : taggliatelli à la BlackBerry, served with a julienne of crisp Nokia;
Dessert : Sorbet "pomposo" with a dash of Murdoch counterfeit Vodka.
Enjoy.

Ye gods! What about food hygiene-health regulations?

I know this is off-topic, but in Venice the only national pavilion showcasing its country's artistic (plastic arts ...) talent that had a bloody queue was ... guess who? Yes, the UK; because of "Health and Safety Regulations". With a hostess (in Venice, Italy, welcoming tourists from all over the world) who only spoke English. Not only am I ashamed of the recent riots in my birthplace, I am also ashamed of the monolingual arrogance of my so-called compatriots. I cannot tell you how glad I am to be half Spanish.

Lucky you - I was in Riva del garda, 1994 - beautiful - I don't expect you to stick to comfort zone of pasta, so I've concocted a menu specially for you, but I don't know how avaialble it would be in that region!
"Budino di Seppie" - cuttlefish pudding / "Grifi in umido" - stewed pig's nose /
"Formaggio marcio" - cheese with live maggots

And I think it would be your last breath of fresh air if you consumed that lot!

Perfectly standard in some parts of Italy and I'm led to believe very tasty indeed! Have to say though I am more of a pasta man myself, having just cooked a delicious penne with sun dried tomatoes, courgette, onions, garlic, parmesan and a nice glass of red wine - yum!

That goes so well with the topic description!

I am on holiday at the moment (in Lago di Garda, Italy, and have only just managed to hack into an unsecured WiFi site*) and am, consequently, unable to join in this frenzy of backslapping self-congratulation. Had I not been on holiday, I would have said that I find this forum to be one of the most irritating platforms ever to engage my intellectual efforts, and shall be leaving it forthwith once I have achieved ...

You are undermining my gravitas, Sorrano!

Sorry! At least I will leave your dignitas alone.

[Quijote]

...escape velocity? There is a thing called gravity, you know. But I do hope that you are having an enjoyable vacation. And so that amid the backslapping yours does not escape unscathed, you've been a wonderful part of this forum, as well.
