      Lmao for real, I fucking love me some bacon. It’s so damn good and leaves some nice lard to fry stuff in in my cast iron

        I honestly don’t love bacon. It’s very nice in a burger, but by itself? Nah. It’s not horrible but definitely not a top thing for me.

        I support vegan products and avoid buying industrially farmed meat, but I do enjoy meat foods. I just don’t eat them as often and buy venison/moose/reindeer because they lived free (well reindeers mostly free, theyre semi-domesticated, the shepherds just let them go about Lapland for like most of the year and I’ve no ideas how the fuck they manage to heed them back together).

        It’s a bit more expensive but also it’s just so much more better than some cheap ass pork-beef mince with 20% fat. You can taste the lack of cruelty.

              Well you just kind of came out of the woodwork with it while I was responding to someone else. Anyway, I’m poor so I can’t really afford stuff like that

                I mean they wine’s sort of expensive, but since I stay at home, not really. Compared to going out and having 4 pints, I’m better off.

                The mince is about 10e a pound. But I complement it with so much veggies that it lasts for several meals.

                This is basically the base. I slow cooked veggies for some 4 hours, then put a bit through the blender, that’s the

                White onions red onions, leek, celery, carrots

                Habanero garlic

                Oh theyre all out of order now.

                Anyways slow cook them down to this

                And then that picture with the tomatos and whatnot has this mix blended, habanero garlic, blended, cherry tomatoes one can, crushed tomatoes one can, splash of red wine, basil, oregano, thyme.

                And that’s what gives most the flavour. Froze most of that, then left some to combine with the pound of meat and some chunky red onion bits.

                But honestly the meat is there just to completent the meal and provide protein, most of the flavour comes from the veggies, and this are cheap and cheap reds are just fine for cooking.

                The picture is basically a recipe, showing me the amounts of things I put in so I can recall the perfect ratio. I do it by heart but I’ve started optimising it and that blend seen there was fkin perfect. So moorish.

                  Damn, that looks delicious. Sorry for mistaking your intentions and I appreciate you taking the time to show me all that, it looks quite frugal and I love that you use hot peppers, those really go a long way in taking a dish to the next level. I have actually recently considered to start hunting for my meat, I actually find it far more ethical than factory farming and much cleaner, plus it makes your dependence to capitalism that much smaller. I have deer as local fauna and I really like venison any time I’ve tried it from friends who hunt, just have to flavor it up a bit. Thanks again for that recipe and the knowledge

                    I would fucking love to hunt. And technically I could hunt roe deer with a bow.

                    I love on the outskirts of turku and most of Finland is forster do finding deer wouldn’t be an issues.

                    The issues would be the work after the kill:

                    Bleeding is easy enough, a bit of ripe, a sharpie knife and a strong branch.

                    But the butchering, skinning, etc? Dragging a whole deer dripping blood, back to my apartment on an ebike, filled with an illegal cannabis farm?

                    Yeah I think it sounds fun but I don’t want to go to jail again so.

                    Hunting part is legal, but suspicious. Cannabis part isn’t illegal.

                    Thanks for the compliments it really was quote fucking moorish.

                    Edit to be clear I slow cooked a lot of veggies, froze two packs of that, then took a bit out, blended it, made the tomato sauce, then after making the tomato sauce, took 2/3rds out and added the venison and onions for the meal.

                    Now I’ve several meals prepped and pre-prepped
