The psychology of this does interest me. Most people brought up eating meat automatically tend to invoke the disassociating mechanism you mention, which does tend to cloud the right/wrong judgement. Despite what others may have claimed on this thread, I don't think that makes people the "devil incarnate", but nevertheless the inconsistencies are there in people's choices.

You appear to have dissociated yourselves with the rat deaths? Isn't that a clouding of your right/wrong judgement? Is this an inconsistency in your choice?

I hope the good thing to come out of this will be to give the local butcher on our high street and the british farmer a decent boost.
eat rabbit? of course I eat rabbit, its low in fat and tastes mighty fine. Would be happy to shoot and prepare the meat too.

Lets just hope your local butcher is an honest one though.....there was a butcher on the news a couple of days ago talking about how his sales had taken off in the wake of all this horsemeat fuss, he also stated that one of his suppliers had offered him some half price 'meat', but after looking at it he declined and now thinks it was probably horse.....lets hope all butchers don't want to make a quick buck.

I've often seen butchers emptying vacuum packs onto their counters, very few get stuff fresh nowadays and even less process it themselves. Even if they do the chances of one butcher being able to do all the meat they sell themselves is quite slim. The problem lies not always with the butcher, but with whoever supplies them (and supplies them....).

I don't have much experience with local butchers if I'm honest, in the market I always use the same guy but other than that its only John Anslow I've ever really visited more than a few times. I do rate his stuff, but since moving house I rarely visit anymore.

Ate rabbit a number of times, I am from donnington after all. Not a huge fan of it really, a lot of bones for my liking.

I put one in a slow cooker once and it disintegrated, was a bugger to pick through the meat to make sure you got all the bones. Was very tasty though, had it in a kind of tomato sauce and ate it with pasta.

A rabbit that is, not a horse.

! Was wondering what kind of giant slow cooker you posess!

When I was a child I spent a lot of time at my grandmothers, she cooked all manner of weird and wonderful things - rabbit, pigs trotters, brains (not sure what animal they belonged to), heart, tongue, liver, kidneys and random offel - I enjoyed it immensely until I found out what it was!!!!

I still love Haggis and Faggots, will eat rabbit, but maybe not the other stuff....

I saw that on the news as well. Reminded me of the time we had an invoice at work from a stafford butchers which was charging for 'halal chicken' . Not knowing what halal meant at that time I asked the butcher when I next went in shopping ,just out of interest. His reply "I don't know-if it's got that on we just give them normal chicken anyway"

Even the bakery that I worked for cheated just a little bit............ Although most of the stuff was baked from scratch,he did buy in packets of 4 chocolate/blueberry muffins, freeze them and we sold them on the counter individually as though he'd made them . (One of the saturday girls nearly gave it away when she told a customer we had some but they weren't defrosted yet . He thought she was joking! ).
