Given your extensive travels in Europe I'd assume its limited to generally what they taste like  ;D

In France I stick with le poulet. When I was in Kazakhstan I know they served horse meat at a dinner but I gave it a miss.

What I find amazing and disheartening is that we have, in 2019, a thread called "10 fastest growing jobs for women."

The only acceptable, reasonable answer to this comment should be, "anything a woman wants to be."

Look, I have a son and a daughter. I have said since my children were young that I expect my daughter to have the same opportunities in life as my son. Nobody is saying either will have it easy but I've yet to discern why having ovaries and a uterus should be a disqualifying element of a job opportunity.

Generations ago, braun mattered. With automation, hydraulics, mechanization etc., today's workforce values mental over physical. And in case you guys think I'm wrong, look at the percentage of college students today who are women. And, last I checked, there are at least as many women in engineering and business schools as there are men.

I'm curious when and where you last checked. Because I just checked and in 30 seconds found data suggesting that is it was about 20% in engineering. In about 2 minutes found data showing that they've made advances in MBA programs, but still about 45%. I suspect it might be better in undergrad business, but didn't find that number in a quick search.
Never wrestle with a pig.  You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.

You realize it's the "10 fastest growing jobs" which is based on statistics.

It's not "10 best jobs for women".

I Googled "10 Fastest Growing Jobs for Men" and only got "Fastest Growing Jobs". As an aside, that says something. Anyway, the women's only list sounds more appealing generally. I'd rather be a vet than a bicycle repairer or a wind turbine blade installer.

Ban this guy.

None of us are interested in his right wing "men are picked on" articles.

Stop talking politics, brandi.  My post wasn't political... and the author of both articles is a girl.

Who the f#ck appointed this guy the arbiter of worthiness? Probably missed his calling as a state censor for a Stalinist regime in pre-1989 Eastern Europe.

None of us are interested in his leftist pablum.

I still marvel at the Canadian flag. Why not the Venezuelan?

I tried it in Belgium about a year ago. My rep's younger brother is a butcher and insisted when we had a grill out. It wasn't bad. They don't eat it that often at all. It reminded me more of venison than beef. Interestingly, it becomes more tender and flavorful as the animal ages unlike many animals, so it's older animals that are targeted for consumption. Not a veal or chicken situation.

Crash, dropped you a PM BTW.

We all know you prefer your pablum from the right. So much so that you'll pass it off as your own.

Living in Asia one encounters a wide range of animal life on the plate. And in survival training I have choked down various forms of mammal, reptile, and insect.

I have never been squeamish about eating off-grid meat but it's definitely the exception.
