Last night I had something very exotic for dinner

[geardaddy]

Grass-fed meatloaf with dijon mustard gravy, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots & parsnips.


Hmmmm....

I wonder how they either farm, capture, or hunt meatloaves.

[flvegan]

1. I heard that meatloafs were carnivores.

Learn something new every day.

[geardaddy]

2. But this one was "grass-fed"

;)

[geardaddy]

3. And according to their online menu

it is free range meatloaf.

[flvegan]

4. But I don't see any bloody legs!

I'd think a tasty looking meatloaf like that would have MANY natural predators. Do they have any defenses? Like mad burrowing skills or ill tempered parasites that would destroy a city?

[geardaddy]

7. I think they do produce an awful smell

after being consumed.

[XemaSab]

8. They're like hippos

MASSIVE and with hides like steel.

All their predators went extinct at the end of the ice age. It's true; I saw it on Animal Planet. :)

[flvegan]

9. But hippos are ferocious, that's why they have minimal predators.

Or something. Are wild meatloafs also ferocious, responsible for more human deaths in Africa than the lion?

[geardaddy]

10. I think that meatloaves

are quite timid and breed prodigiously. Thus the inexpensive price for their flesh.

[flvegan]

11. Like very meaty bunnies, they are?

[geardaddy]

12. Word.

sans fur, ears, limbs, bones, and organs. They're more like amoebas.

[XemaSab]

13. They're certainly responsible for more deaths in the Midwest

:crazy:

[Dr. Strange]

23. True.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. If the meat hadn't loafed nobody would have been able to catch it

let alone eat it.

[geardaddy]

6. yoinks!

You're right.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

24. Riiight!

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

14. So, did it taste healthier?

[geardaddy]

25. It actually was quite good.

[deucemagnet]

15. They're a close relative of the spamalope.

[KamaAina]

16. Shouldn't be that difficult to hunt

I hear he's lost some weight, but a hunter should still be able to run him down in open country pretty easily... :-)

[Bake]

17. There's a copycat thread here just begging to be posted.

But I'm not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent, at this juncture.....

18. "meatloaf" is just a euphemism

for guinea pig.

Note the similarity in shape:








Shave it, tuck the legs under, top with tomato paste... voila!

[hippywife]

19. If you go to Ecuador...

it really is guinea pig! :wow:

[MonkeyFunk]

21. I know!

My nephew's been down there for 7 months now. He's tasted it.

[Pierre.Suave]

20. If you dont mind me asking...

Where in the Metro area did you get this "grass fed meatloaf?"

And, was it any good?

[geardaddy]

26. Hi Jason

We had it at "Level 5" at the new Guthrie theater. It was quite good and the mashed potatoes were fantastic!

[Pierre.Suave]

27. Awesome.

I heard that was a really good restaurant.

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. a friend, with some fava beans and a nice Chianti?

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. I thought meatloafs only ate spent .30-06 casings?
