Well Bob I hope the people in your neck of the woods have more common sense than they do here in the south. I went to the store today to pick up some pork belly for making some liverwurst this weekend and the store was packed with people stocking up like as though there was another ice age coming. Gas stations were packed as well. You’d think people would realize that even in Texas it freezes every winter. I just took my pork belly home and then went fishing. That’s my way of getting prepared.

READ THOSE LABELS! Sorry for raising my voice but it needs to be emphasized. Read those food labels for those hidden ingredients, soy, wheat, seed oils and most especially SUGAR. It really ticks me off that food manufacturers are allowed to hide these non food items in our food and do it most especially by renaming the the sugar so that it’s unrecognizable to the average person. Just because the packaging may say “Sugar Free” doesn’t mean there’s not sugar in the product. It’s no wonder that over 40% of Americans are considered obese. Educate yourself. Here’s a chart to help you decipher the hidden sugars that may be in your food. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have several ranches in my area that raise Wagyu cattle and we can get it from some of our stores locally. That’s one hamburger meat that doesn’t need added fat. I’ve seen some steaks that are so marbled that they look like there’s hundreds of grains of rice imbedded in the meat. My dream would be to smoke a Wagyu brisket but I’d have to take out a second mortgage on the house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are correct, it’s hard to find any sausage that’s clean. I haven’t had any since becoming carnivore so I haven’t tried to find some. If I can’t find any then I’ll just have to do without the next time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Down here in the south when we do a boil it’s not centered around seafood but instead, crawfish. Man we do love our mudbugs. Always toss in some shrimp, andouille sausage, hard boiled eggs and this next season I’m going to put some oysters in the boil. Aaayyyeeee! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some of the rinds get soft, kinda chewy, which I like and some retain some crunch. I layer some meat, in this case chorizo, then cover in shredded cheddar. I grate my own I done use that pre shredded junk. To melt it I just nuke it in the microwave. I didn’t show it here but a little sour cream is good with them also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not so much anymore. I found, after becoming carnivore, that I really didn’t care for chicken that much. In the past I always ate fried chicken and yes, I loved it but I realize that it wasn’t the chicken I loved but the deep fried flour and skin. I will eat some roast chicken but I’ve got to drown it in butter to make it palatable to me. That includes turkey also. In my food pyramid chicken is the at the very tip of the pyramid.

I can’t really add anything to what Bob said other than just keep it simple. Don’t overthink this way of eating. It’s really easy and freeing. Just eat fat, meat, salt and water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even where I find fresh seafood I’ve never seen mackerel, herring or eel. The only place I’ve ever see fresh eel for sale was in South Korea. I eat sardines, mackerel and herring but it’s always from a can. Just can’t get around that. I like eel but I’ve never come across it in America. Now fresh salmon and tuna I can get and I make the most of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent point in tasting bad. It’s a plant’s defense mechanism to try to ward us off of them. When my son introduced me to carnivore I had a garden. I grew only what I liked to eat or thought I liked, and my some asked me what it was I like about eating vegetables. I said they tasted good. He said do they really? Can you cook and eat the vegetables without putting anything on it or do you have to put dressing, sauces, butter and seasoning to make them palatable? Does anybody eat a salad of just plain lettuce or do they like the cheese, egg, meat dressing that goes in it? Wow, that was so logical and made so much sense. I can eat meat with nothing on it and I can enjoy it but I can’t do that with any veggie save one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. I can buy half slabs at our H‑E‑B stores that has the skin/rind already removed or I can go to one of several butcher shops around me and buy a whole slab and remove the skin myself. Every now and then I like to by the whole slab so I can make cracklins from the skin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
