This is the saddest story i ever read. I think i now commit suicide.
I just don't want to live in a world anymore where a game can do such awful things to people.

If you would hit that ignore button on OP, before you go, we'd appreciated it. We're going for a record.
 
But that wasn't nearly as bad as when they started putting horse meat in everything that was meant to be beef. Oh boy!

When proof was released that Ikea had used horsemeat in their 'authentic swedish meatballs' all I could think was:"Phew, so there is meat in it after all!". I dont really get the difference between eating horses or cows, and if people couldnt taste the difference, I dont see the issue very much. Other than the 'you should know what you eat' principle, ofcourse.

It's just cultural, of course. I never understood how people decide which animal is okay to eat and which one isn't.
We're omnivores, goddammit. We eat everything.

I'm not playing Elite right now either, muh space broz. I'm taking a break from writing some essays for a fellowship application by doing some laundry. Though, I will probably play some more space ships with y'all later this week. True story.

Good point. I think in the UK it stems from the perceived image of a horse: a domesticated companion, used for pleasure, sport and previously for transport. People conveniently forget that old horses mostly go to the knackers' yard, used for glue or dog food. People seem to draw the line at rearing them for food. Horses are quite uncanny readers of human emotion, probably olfactory, and that may have some bearing on the matter.

I would say, however, that horse has a very distinctive flavour. Minced in with beef or pork and seasoned it would not necessarily stand out, but on its own it is unmistakable. As is camel. I don't like camel meat.

Yawn, another "I quit" thread. Does Star Citizen pay these guys to post here or something? (At $750 per jpeg, it's not like they can't afford it :p)
 
It is totally the not knowing.

There were restaurants in the UK that legitimately selling horse meat steaks that reported increased sales of horse after the publicity.

The horse aspect got run away with, meanwhile far more sinister additons were found due to extra analysis such as perctanges of human origin I.e. hair, nails, feces, etc.

OK Now you're going so far off topic it's making me cringe. Can we all stick to the main area in this thread?

The salient issue: fish.

Is Fish Pie not known as Mariner's Pie? Calling it Fish Pie makes it sound so bass...I mean base.

I'm sorry, mate, I don't know what came over me [said the actress to the bishop]. If your family is from a certain part of the north, it is a fish pie and that's that. ;)

Your post reminds me of the timid question asked by a caterer when clearing the table after a dinner party, "Are you gentry or shall I stack?"
 
I love shepherd's pie, but the last time I ate it, it was super hot and burned my esophagus. True story.

Tried spitting it out because it was so hot, and actually inhaled some of it. So, now I have a fear of shepherd's pie. I know it was a freak thing, but it was shepherd's pie, and a pain few will ever know.

What kind of phobia would this be? Let's come up with some real medical terms for fear of shepherd's pie.

Does the fear extend to cottage pie?

I feel chastened by your story and will learn to treat shepherds' pie with more respect. Amnospitaphobia?
