Beef is generally my favorite . . . but I found bushbuck can be very, very tasty.

The Cow.

Self-feeding, self-propelled, leather bound hamburger, steak, milk, and fertilizer factories.

Gotta luv'em!

Raw whale is good.  Not sure what kind of whale it was.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

We finally found a great steakhouse nearby, place called the Four Winds.  The restaurant is on ranch (formerly owned by a Dallas Cowboy player) where dinner is raised.  They prepare the steak with what's a mostly salt rub that leaves a fantastic crust.

Yeah, beef is the answer.

My wife used bacon juice to fry latkes this morning. Sorry, Jews. They're just better that way. It's science.

Went to the Dark Continent and shot it, if I correctly recall.

"First of all, "fowl" is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal.

Secondly, shellfish is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal.

Thirdly, fish is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal.

Fourthly, game is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal."

Uh..... say what?

Fish, shellfish, fowl, game, etc., are most certainly animals. They're all members of the Kingdom Animilia.

Some of them are extremely tasty animals.

Some of the best critter I've ever had was Cape Buffalo steak, compliments of a coworker who went on safari in South Africa and shipped a bunch back.

This is that tick thing, right?  Do those "impossible burgers" work for you?  (not making a joke)  Although you probably can't have the bacon either.  :'(

They are animals, not an (meaning "one") animal.

That's why bacon-wrapped beef is the best animal.

Now, seriously, this question is rather hard. There are basically, three schools of thought:

Pork is amazing for its versatility, but if I took this as a "which animal would you be willing to eat exclusively for the rest of your life?", beef wins hands down.

Or maybe we could use the "what animal should you stock on an interstellar voyage for colonists to use en route and raise once they arrive"? for which is best.

Or which is best for raising on your own in an earthly setting?

I think I'm going with black bears that eat beets.

I eat bacon, yes the tick thing I believe. The impossible/beyound burger is a decent substitute for mouth feel and  taste but it's not 100%.

Uhm.... OK. Whatever makes you happy while you're eating your recipe constructed from TWO animals...  :rofl:

Unless you've managed to come up with a hybrid of a pig and a beef... a Bork? a Peef?

Ok, I've been completely flippant, but this is just an awesome rejoinder:




(And no, I don't eat it and had never heard of it, and probably isn't as good as real bacon, but, there it is.)

I was surprised lamb wasn't mentioned in the beginning.

Trouble is you have to special-order it, at least at City Market / King Soopers.  So I sometimes have lamb chops at restaurants.

But beef, hands down, on "the rest of your life" premise.

I had Burger King's "impossible burger" once and it was surprisingly good, but I wouldn't have it as a steady diet if regular burgers were available.  An interesting experiment, though.

I'm not sure of the marketing thrust for either impossible burgers or baconified beef.  I mean, if you're a vegetarian, you're a vegetarian, and if you keep Kosher, you keep Kosher, so why venture into a semi-forbidden area?
