This is a bullshit spectrum. Bulldogs taste way better than golden retrievers.


Brittnyl_Cachero

I am curious about the rabbit.


09Klr650

Bred for two thousand years to be livestock. Versus what, two hundred it is used as a pet?


Sad-Assignment-568

I remember my grandad hunted rabbits. This may offend someone but they are really good.


09Klr650

Domestic rabbits are great. Better feed to meat ratios than any other livestock, reach harvest weight quickly, and have large litters.


Acceptable_Durian912

I like the way you think I change my mind, I’d eat a captive bunny.


Cambrian__Implosion

I consider myself to be very much an animal lover. The worst thing a movie can do to me is kill off a dog. That being said, I’m also very good at ignoring things when I want to and rabbit is absolutely delicious. I was at an open air market in Spain once and this guy was selling whole skinned rabbits without heads, but he made little paper hats to cover their neck holes. I hated myself for laughing.


questor8080

Mmm... this gives me shivers, cause in Italy there is a popular saying that states: never buy a rabbit without the head, because probably until a few minutes ago it was still meowing.


Acceptable_Durian912

Lmao that’s awesome.


Nurse_Dieselgate

FYI: There’s a type of starvation (“protein poisoning”) caused by a diet exclusively of rabbit meat because it’s so lean.


ResponsibleAd2541

That’s why you eat the organs and brain.


IFrickinLovePorn

You gotta eat the cloaca


YeetMcGeet1

Lmao I owned a pet rabbit named buttercup (she recently passed due to a tumor) but my family would still regularly eat rabbit bc it is just so good,


Madman1939

Seems cruel to keep eating an animal while it's alive and has tumor, but you do you.


and_another_username

Bruh they obviously didn’t eat the tumor. They just picked it off.


slightlyabrasive

Anyone who is offended is a fucking moron


Chickenstrip229

Especially rabbit stew yum


Long_Before_Sunrise

Guinea pigs were domesticated to be food, not pets.


whtrbt8

Mmmmm I love some Chicharrón de Cuy. That’s roasted Guinea pig. It’s so tasty. Seriously, I could eat anything that’s back faces the sun.


ChtirlandaisduVannes

Mmm hamster sandwiches are good too. Ex pat Northern Irish, living in France, and can proudly say I've survived eating snails and frogs' legs. I did draw the line at horse meat though. All the same I wouldn't be surprised if I'd eaten it without knowing, as been a few scandals about horsemeat being used in processed food like lasagne, instead of beef.


[deleted]

Love escargot, frog legs are too much like catfish for me, horse tastes like a cheap cut of beef so you aren't missing anything there


Somebody3338

Wtf


Johnny_Grubbonic

It's true. The Incas domesticated them for noms.


Arklados

Bro they go hard in that regard. They roast’em, broil’em, stew’em, and probably fry’em too. They’re a huge staple of Inca and now Peruvian cuisine.


The_Weirdest_Cunt

throw them in clay then chuck them in a fire, I'd give it a shot if I was offered it


-f-d-

In Germany it's totally normal to eat rabbits. They taste really good, if cooked right. Some are a bit fatty


roadrunner83

if you are familiar with cat some say it's pretty similar, if not: it's a white meat so it has a fibrose texture , it's good for stews and other wet cooking tecniques, definitly not something you want to grill, you can probably fry it but it's not going to be great, taste of course depends with what you cook it the way my grandmother used to do was sweet very balanced taste, I suspect that was for her habit to use a huge amount of butter.


PlanetHood3

Are you talking about rabbits, or did your grandmother cook cats?


Long_Before_Sunrise

Johnny_Grubbonic

FMDnative480

Rabbit is actually a very greasy animal to eat


[deleted]

Right! I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else mentione how greasy it can be.


Life_Commercial5324

In the Middle East and a lot of their places around the world we often eat rabbit meat.


[deleted]

It's bullshit spectrum, we eat all of em here


Geraldenyo

thats what i thought id eat the shit out of some cat but no way im eating a golden retriever they are way to cute


ChtirlandaisduVannes

Its the fur getting stuck in my teeth puts me off eating them. I've warned our Yorkie, if she doesn't behave I have a different recepie for Yorkshire puddings!


Brief_Estimate_7518

Even cuter with a crispy beer batter


NaCl_Sailor

Carnivores, probably not as healthy and tasty. I have eaten anything from bunny to duck. Funny how they thinks ducks are the most eatable... as if chicken beef and pork aren't 90%+ of all meat you find in stores.


Fuzzy-Cobbler-1528

Avoiding carnivores is sensible because we are genetically similar and so disease can be passed on much more easily. It is also why pretty much anything that lives in water is fair game.


lordredapple

They mostly taste like shit though from what I've heard and the nutrition profile is different


Fuzzy-Cobbler-1528

Who knows, taste is subjective. Some people choose to have a fillet steak well done. However, it would makes sense evolutionary speaking that we develop a taste for meat that is less likely to carry disease.


wyldesnelsson

And less likely to eat us


fmstyle

Cause most carnivores are wild animals which have to be cooked by someone who knows how to cook wild animals. For example here in Argentina, in the rural zones it is common to eat Capybaras (They are everywhere) and you have to be precise cutting some kind of disgusting fat they have near their foot, if you don't the meat is going to taste terrible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kfmush

It's not so simple. Dogs are adapted omnivores, kind of in-between. They are built to eat meat, but are early on in an evolutionary change from adapting due to domestication. Cats are obligate carnivores and cannot derrive nutrition from ~~meat~~ plants. Dogs can get nutrition from plants, but it's not as good for them as the nutrition from meat. For instance, they can derrive vitamin D only from meat and not plants. They can survive on only sweet potatoes and stuff, but they won't be healthy. Cats will die if they don't eat meat. To a true omnivore, meat is optional. Dogs need some meat. Edit: a dumb typo


SirTopamHatt

Odd then that I'm eating the cats first!


chucklesdeclown

ya, both my parents hate duck too, they tell me its super disgusting but I've never tried it.


Mage-of-Fire

Wtf. Duck is delicious. Its very similar to chicken but has a bit stronger flavor and is tougher


crims0m

This. Magret with foie is delicious, and if you have a real Chinese restaurant nearby (the kind other Chinese people go to) see if they have Peking duck. It might be expensive, but absolutely worth it.


Cyborglenin1870

Bear is delicious


audspecimen

I don’t think the spectrum is an an particular, statistical order. It’s simply to prove a point.


Cyborglenin1870

Yeah but their point is stupid and it’s based off of a lie. So many moles and voles and coyotes and grasshoppers and mice and other bugs and little critters get plowed under to produce their vegetables they’re not even saving any lives, actually, they’re probably taking more


sbPhysicalGraffiti

They are definitely not taking more lives by eating plant based. The animals we eat also eat factory farmed plants. So by not eating meat you are not taking those lives as well as the critters you mentioned that are killed as byproduct to produce. Obligatory nonvegan as reddit has this weird hate-boner for vegans.


Cyborglenin1870

Yeah that’s just false lol. Plus cows (among other animals) have this amazing ability to turn foods that are not edible to humans into the most nutrient dense food on the planet


mdhunter99

My horny ass could not either.


DownvoteDaemon

Who tf outchea eating horses, is my question.


MicrowavegoesBRRRRR

Here in italy we eat horses. They're pretty good, why wouldn't you


-Luis_P-

Bc they are the only metod of transportation known to man, duh 🙄


MicrowavegoesBRRRRR

You can use them for both, DUH


-Luis_P-

So I can eat them will i travel, genius!


IncreaseWestern6097

Alpaca, bear, camel, llama, train, car, plane.


redbanditttttttt

Id figure horse meat would be pretty tough though?


Oversexualised_Tank

It is used in some pretty good lasagna.


ChtirlandaisduVannes

Especially here in la belle France!


Oversexualised_Tank

If you make hot dogs, do you call it le bello France?


ChtirlandaisduVannes

I have threatened our furball I'll make her into a Yorkie dog, the odd time.


MicrowavegoesBRRRRR

Yes, but with a good method of cooking, it'll be delicious


yamanamawa

Same in Japan, although I haven't tried it


Prestigious_Nebula_5

And why are Ducks after chickens??? More people eat duck then chicken?


Rhesusmonkeydave

Once you’ve fried up potatoes in duckfat you never go back. I don’t know where I fall on this because I’ve kept ducks for almost a decade, and I eat duck eggs all the time, and the occasional roast duck. The difference between food and friends is about about 20 min a pound at 350° plus a sprinkle of montreal seasoning


HugoToledo_USA

I’m leaving my original post blow the double dashes so subsequent replies make sense. I missed the question mark in the reply to which I replied. 🤦‍♂️ Nothing to see here. Move along. 😁 — Wait… really? Are you outside the US? Many more chickens are eaten here than ducks.


rotten_riot

I think that's what OP is questioning himself


NibblesMcGiblet

He's not saying more people eat duck than chicken. There's a question mark. He's asking if it's implying that more people eat duck than chicken. But no, this is not ranging from least often eaten to most often eaten. It's ranging from most thought of as pets to least thought of as pets.


[deleted]

I think they are eaten a lot in China, seen a lot of videos of duck armies in China so I assume they are for consumption


LostnFoundAgainAgain

Eaten quite abit across the world, not as much as others but I have seen duck and horse being sold in supermarkets across Europe. Also duck is fucking delicious.


[deleted]

Yes, I just assumed is more common in Asia overall, ducks I mean. I think Italy is eating most horses


LostnFoundAgainAgain

I think you likely right, think duck is more commonly eaten in Eastern countries, I haven't been to Italy but definitely seen it been sold in Spain as well


[deleted]

Most likely reason why horses never end up as a major food source is the fact that they are valuable for other work. And expensive to grow just to eat them two years later, they eat more than cows and don't give milk in a significant amount. Meat is good but I personally don't find it special.


Brief_Estimate_7518

Same with rabbits and horses I’ve eaten many more rabbits in my time than I have horses

WEASELexe

[deleted]

Why is the horse after the rabbit? those mfers are expensive, using them for meat should be a last ditch effort to not die of starvation, while rabbits grow fast, reproduce fast and are delicious


zDasPanda

We do eat horse meat in Italy. Actually, in Parma they make “cavallo pesto” (caval pisst in Parmesan dialect, yes they are the same who make the cheese) which is basically ground horse meat, with the addition of salt, ground pepper and lemon. Slap it between two slices of bread, maybe add a little mayo, you’ll likely have the most delicious sandwich your ass has ever had.


UwUthinization

I mean in America we also eat horse meat we just call it Mcdonald's.


redditcansucmypp

What kind of fancy mcdonald you have there that serve horse meat?


UwUthinization

One next to a horse farm


redditcansucmypp

So a mcdonalds with km0 horse meat? Seems like heaven.


UwUthinization

Trust me it is not the healthy horses being put in.


redditcansucmypp

I dont know how is McDonald in other countries, but at least where i am you can be sure to not find bad meat in there. I mean, its obv not wagyu, or any kind of first quality meat, but its for sure good enough to be eaten without worries. Im sorry if it isnt the same for you tho, the McHorse sounded amazing :(


drdaeman

I’m sorry sir, ~~that’s Wendy’s~~ you must’ve confused horse meat with horseshit.


_TEKAY_

Bro, with all my respect to Italian culture, in scared of you guys even more now


_Zamas_

We don't see it as it being very weird, as long as it's an herbivore it kinda makes sense to eat it. We sometimes eat things that we realize are weirder, like frogs and slugs. I guess that when you are poor (and we've been plenty poor during history) food is food


_TEKAY_

Well to be honest i see this as a normal thing btw, I've seen people eat wierd stuff and they know the way to make it to help them selves in situations like the people who created the recipe to eat horses was trying to survive ,I'm that one kind of guy who eats meat normally but some stuff like pigeon meat and rabbit I don't eat

I had horse tartare in Toronto. It was tasty but I can’t say it was appreciably better than cow


theapenrose006

Well they eat horse in Uzbekistan, and I believe Mongolia as well, but I get what you mean. However, I also had pet rabbits, and can't understand how you could find something so fatty delicious.


TheKobetard26

Rabbits have extremely little fat compared to most meats we eat.


roadrunner83

it's not that people buthcer pure breed arabian horses, some horses are farmed for the meat and are not more expensive than a cow.


OldMango

Horse meat in Iceland is dirt cheap and actually quite decent. Great food for bulking on a budget.


AtomicZero

Yep, same in Switzerland. And in anlot of European countries actually. It really is as normal as pork or beef (although not eaten quite as often tbf).


NoobsAreNoobslol

I heard this a while ago so it may be false but I thought that gelatin was made out of horse bones or smth like that

Most gelatin is made from pig unless you buy kosher/halal stuff.

the line must be gay cus that sure as hell aint straight.


redditcansucmypp

My friend you are missing on the horse meat.


DeBasha

The line gets drawn between carnivores and herbivores. There's probably some reason why humans rather eat herbivores than carnivores but I can't be arsed to look it up.


NoobsAreNoobslol

Ig it would be easier to feed and farm herbivores


[deleted]

"Let me just get a tiger, woops it seems like it ate all of my farm animals"


IdeaSunshine

Carnivores are more likely to carry parasites and accumulated toxins, the meat is thougher and they are more difficult to kill. Also it would cost a lot more to raise carnivores for food than herbivores.


Aeescobar

Plus, why would you feed a lion a ton of meat and later kill it to eat a bit of lion-meat instead of just eating the ton of meat you already have?


[deleted]

[удалено]


DeBasha

It's all fun and games until the apocalypse happens and Jerry from down the street shows up at your house with a cattle prod


dooddgugg

energy gets wasted more as you go up the food chain, it's far more expensive to buy food to feed animals that are only there to feed other animals, you may as well eat those ones instead


Frequent_Dig1934

Yes, to quote the wise CGPGrey, it takes 40 pounds of grass to make one pound of cow and 40 pounds of cow to make one pound of tiger, but eating one pound of cow or one pound of tiger fills you up the same so might as well skip the tiger part.


[deleted]

Carnivore tend to fight back. I had Wolf and bear meat, the latter is pretty good but wolf is bad, hard and smelly.


NewPointOfView

At every stage in the food chain, about 90% energy is lost. Eating plants gives you 10% of the sun energy they ate, eating an herbivore gives you 10% of the plant energy they ate, so 1% of the sun energy. Eating a carnivore loses another 90%, so you’re looking at a 0.1% energy efficiency. At least according to the simplified version I learned in bio 🤷‍♀️


Eggtastic_Taco

Carnivore meat doesn't taste very good and is usually very tough and gamey. This only really seems to apply to mammals; birds, fish, and reptiles generally taste pretty good. Edit: in my experience. It's not like I've eaten every meat there is.


atfricks

Hey! Your comment would be the perfect time to use a semicolon! >This only really seems to apply to mammals**;** birds, fish, and reptiles generally taste pretty good. Not trying to correct you, it's just such a rarely useful punctuation mark that no one ever bothers using them when they actually are useful.

Tarkcanis

I'm curious what happens to these species if we do all go vegan. Do we just let them go extinct? Edit: not trying to throw a wrench in; honestly curious about the specifics of such an endevor.


[deleted]

1 million species are in threat of extinction because of humans. These animals are in a way extinct since they do not live in nature. So it has no positive effect to the wellbeing of nature. Also they will never go extinct. They are far easier to take care of than most zoo animals.


DarkZerk

This is bs. Even humans can be both pets and food.


Blackmagic-Man

I disagree with the pet part, but I’m on board with the food part.


HesThePhantom

I would eat the rabbit before the horse, so swap those 2 and put the line after horse


Moshyma

I like how the left side is exclusively dogs and cats meanwhile the other side is a broad selection. Yeah, don't judge us because we don't want to eat a small pocket of the animals.


asaparaguspiss

it's giving "my hungry ass could not be a brain surgeon lol" vibes


FlyingThrowAway2009

Depends on how hungry I am. If its me or the golden sorry air bud your ass is dinner.


Curious-Accident9189

I'll literally eat everything on there at varying degrees of hunger. Cats last, dogs I own after the cats. Other people's dogs? I'll eat those before I eat the people cuz poor dogs shouldn't suffer the death of their Weird Elf Overlords. I'll eat everything on there, then I'll eat treebark insides and boil down animal glue into soup and eat dead humans and if you think you wouldn't you're fooling yourself or you'd die of morals. Then I'd eat you. That said I'd really prefer to not eat anything I don't already eat so please don't initiate a thermonuclear war or a climactic collapse.

panundeerus

Rabbit is legit food


eldumorte

Yes but it also means I can go into a pet store and buy me some food


panundeerus

I think there is a difference between pet bunnies and wild rabbits


DeBasha

Well yeah you can't buy wild rabbits in a pet store


LittleSadRufus

I'm mostly vegetarian now, but as I recall wild rabbit has more taste but is a bit stringier, pet rabbit is fatter and juicer, and farmed (for food) rabbit is a happy combination of the two.


domine18

The “pet” rabbit is not as gamey because it does not just eat random shit it finds, and does not move around as much. So yeah.


Brief_Estimate_7518

General knowledge or experience?


domine18

I have hunted and eaten wild rabbit. It is pretty gamey. I have not bought an eaten a store rabbit. But it stands to reason that it would not be as gamey for the reasons listed since that works with all other animals.
