No. Cooking any food makes me more hungry. Even in the decades I was vegetarian it didn’t bother me, honestly.
yes, it’s disgusting
I don’t like spatchcocking a Chicken or breaking down a whole Turkey, its a really crunchy and visceral process. Prepping crawfish or crab then boiling them is also offputting but once prepped and ready to eat, I’m not as grossed out unless I really think about it. I have found myself working to eat less meat in general for ethical/moral reasons as I have gotten older though.
Handling raw meat or smelling it cooked makes me nauseous. I was vegetarian for a long time, even vegan for a bit. I’m at peace with the fact I wouldn’t eat animals products if I had to prepare them.
Nope. I’m fine hunting, butchering, preparing and cooking my food. Yum.
That said, I do respect the vegan position and I work hard on getting a family into flexitarianism and reduced meat consumption.
I also strongly support ethical farm practices that give animals a high quality, if short life and a painless wink to the other side. Prices be damned. Just makes it easier to go more meatless.
No, it usually makes me hungrier (especially on a barbecue).
Man, I wish. After smelling it raw and cooking it, grill or range, it just grosses me out. If I’m waiting for dinner, though, I have the opposite reaction.
BTW, do you prefer gas or charcoal?
Raw it’s nasty usually, but cooked it can be amazing.
I’m split on that: I like gas for the convenience and the fact that it makes food that’s a bit healthier than charcoal, but taste wise I still like charcoal better (I just don’t use it all that often because of all the carcinogens it adds).
My in-laws actually have an electric grill because of their HOA, and that thing isn’t too shabby either. They’ve grilled us quite a few meals on that thing and I’ve been surprised at how decently it all turned out every time. Not quite as good as a nice mesquite barbecue, but more or less on par with gas taste wise.
Damn a steak cooking, with onions and peppers sauteeing, is the stuff my nose dreams of
I like the smell of cooking meat. Raw chicken is gross to touch bare handed for me. Won’t lose an appetite over it though.
Me, personally? No. I’m also good with handling and preparing raw meat. I use gloves, or I wash my hands, but I can butcher some meat and cut it how I want it, it does not bother me in the least.
Cooking the meat? Not at all.
I stopped eating red meat a few years ago, and hate seafood, so all that’s left is chicken. I like chicken, I eat it almost every day now. But, it’s getting to be that time of year, when I go for my walk around the neighborhood in the evening, that I get the occasional whiff of grilling beef. I miss it, but I’m better off without it.
I could kill and dress a chicken or a rabbit, if I had to. I’ve never done it, but I could do it.
Nah, it’s mostly fine, even though I don’t eat any. I’m super bothered by anything that’s fish or seafood though, cooking anything like that kills my appetite for as long as there’s still any detectable smell in the kitchen
Makes me hungry!
If it does, what’s the point of using meat at all?
A bit of citrus juice (lemon, orange, grapefruit) which ever you prefer for any meat, also makes it a bit more tender, i like put about a half of lemon or orange juice when making Bolognese because minced beef tends to have a bit of a bad smell when you start cooking it, not even onions help there.
Nope. It makes me wish it would cook faster so I can start eating it.
