Don't worry, I don't think that had negative repercussions.

I'd like this more if they were more about the meat than the ridiculous amounts of fat. I am always up for new ways to hit my protein intake for the day, but all that fat kind of puts me off.

My husband, my sister's boyfriend, and I spent an unsociable amount of time watching these at my Grandma's house at Christmas. My favorite (and the first one we watched) is the bird/bird/bird/pig Thanksgiving epic. I think the best part is the bacon strips - and bacon strips - and bacon strips - and bacon strips. The worst thing is the inch-thick slab of turpiggen monstrosity served by hand. But I'm also a fan of the Breakfast House to Keep the Haters Out.

Taking out the Michael Bay score would help

The cheesy epic music raises it to the perfect level of douchey kitsch, and the bro thing is clearly tongue in cheek. There are dozens of moments where you can tell they're just fucking around with the Chuggo act.

Literally the only valid reasons to dislike this is are if you're vegetarian, vegan, or serious about a healthy lifestyle.

I'm carnivorous and this show makes me hungry.

Nah, Dovey, that would be sad. I don't wanna see this dude have a fucking coronary for his troubles.

I'm sure they're pretty careful about consuming 90,000 calorie meals. Like, generally the eating portion of the show is a few novelty shots of one person devouring everything so I reckon they don't actually consume everything in equal portions on a weekly basis. That would be disastrous.

I really don't understand how you can say you're not good at being a student Ryan because from all evidence extant on this forum you are definitely doing it up right.

OK so I wanted to hold off on putting my opinion here so people wouldn't be self-conscious about my judgment and just try to please me lolololololololol

But I think I'd really hate this if it weren't for the charming Canadianess of it all. Sole saving grace. (the guy is actually pretty funny too. "Next Week We Eat a Library" "All this Sauce"). I got tired of thisiswhyyou'refat pretty quickly, especially when it became apparent people were making literally inedible slop piles for the sole purpose of sending them in to thisiswhyyou'refat, and maybe I'll get tired of this too.

That's exactly it, Dovey. This isn't just a novelty gross-out thing. In spite of the ridiculous act, these guys actually know how to cook really well and make delicious food which is challenging to prepare given the size of the dishes and which I want to eat. I'm excited to see what they come up with every week.

The bird-bird-bird-bird-bird-bird-pig thing got me thinking:

What's the world record for most birds/animals stuffed inside one another, then cooked and eaten?

There's bound to be someone who has done like...an ostrich-emu-flamingo-eagle-hawk-falcon-turkey-duck-hen-quail-sparrow thing, right?

Turkeys are bigger than falcons and hawks. Hawks and falcons wouldn't have much meat on them. Dove would be more likely than sparrow. Goose should be in there somewhere, I bet you could fit a snow goose inside a Canada goose. The problem would be all the bones, especially on the smaller birds. All of the meat on a dove is about the size of two quarters of a small apple. Other than that it is a lot of tiny bones you really don't want to swallow.

You debone all the birds before you stuff them.

Shane, I'm pretty sure that record was set by some ancient pagan festival. Can't be too sure which. The Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans were all big fans of absurd Frankenstein meat creations.

Wait, what? I missed something. I could see the Vietnamese part (although, being American, I took it to be a joke about the Vietnam war and having to do terrible things). Where was the ethnic slur against chinese people?

The video made no reference to the Chinese government at all, but simply "China", the land where I was born*. Since nobody makes jokes about mere geographical expressions, I read the remark as aimed at Chinese people. I read the Vietnam remark as no more than a standard white-person gibe about East Asian dietary habits (the Vietnam War never occurred to me). Basically the guy was simply using Asian countries as metaphors for something bad. And you have a problem with my attitude? Try maintaining a sense of humour when you face a lifetime of "funny" remarks like that about your national origin, or native culture. Make like a turducken, and get stuffed!

I understand that there is a lot of racism in Australia, that doesn't even have the decency to be recognized as a problem by the general populace (unlike in the US). On the other hand, that's no excuse for you making racism accusations and then getting defensive when people point out what you missed. And that is a really shitty argument. You know as well as I do that people refer to China instead of "The People's Republic of China" (or the Republic of China, depending on where you stand on that matter), America instead of "The United States of America", or Australia instead of "The Commonwealth of Australia." When someone makes reference to killing babies and China, maybe you should get off of your high horse and remember that the PRC currently has a law that leads to illegal babies being killed, and that it isn't racist to point out how fucked up that is.

akima contributes a lot and posts about a lot of things actually, like... really often. her comments regarding asian stereotypes and racism (which are really not that frequent) are memorable because she's usually the only person in a given thread who ever actually notices and brings up the issue and actively wants to discuss it. like jordan said she's one of the few actual minority members who post on this forum and personally i find it refreshing to get a different opinion and perspective once in a while, even if i don't always agree completely. belittling and dismissing those opinions is a pretty shitty thing to do.

So what you are saying is that there's no way I can disagree with her and not be an asshole? Either I disagree with her completely and dismiss her, or I try to be understanding while disagreeing with her. Either insensitive and ignorant or condescending.
Title: Re: Epic Meal Time - Not Safe For Vegetarians
Post by: Ozymandias on 12 Jan 2011, 00:01
Nah, I guess what I'm saying is that someone being particularly sensitive to things that affect them and not you and, very likely, have affected them and not you, is not really being on a high horse since, you know, in the future it will continue to affect them and not you and that it's pretty okay to disagree on the particulars sure but on the other hand it's also pretty okay to disagree privately to yourself and continue to talk about the delicious and awful meats instead which is really what I'm saying let's watch those videos again.

Wow! I do you the courtesy of acknowledging your point that maybe he was referring to the Vietnam War, rather than simply picking on the country and its people, and that is your response? That I'm being defensive about what I missed? I never said I agreed with your interpretation, you know. Assuming he was referring to a war that ended thirty-five years ago, rather than to the country of today, just why exactly should I have picked up on that? It's not like Vietnam vanished after the fall of Saigon. Or is that the point? That to the guys who made the video, the only thing of consequence about the country is the Vietnam War, so that to mention the country's name automatically refers to the war and nothing else?

Yeah, of course I should totally shut up because the existence of that law (which I abhor incidentally, for all the good that does) completely disqualifies me from recognising when Asian countries are simply being used as metaphors for evil by some jerk in a joke video on the internet. There's no way he was making any serious point about the One Child Policy. Still, you didn't call me over-sensitive or tone-deaf, so thank you for that.  :-)

It's one of those slow cooked meats, which doesn't always lend itself to being good diet food. Very nice to eat though, I have it at least a couple of times a year. Been a while since I killed and prepared my own though.

Maybe the legs are so tough because we don't cook it slow. Apparently stew can also be good, so you can chuck a rabbit in a crock pot for the day and have dinner when you get back. I haven't had a good rabbit stew, though.

My mother used to jug rabbit with cider when I was small, and school used to serve a rabbit stew sometimes.  But these dishes vanished when the UK population was almost wiped out by myxomatosis in 1954-5 (over 95% of rabbits died), and have not reappeared significantly.  I've had rabbit only twice since then, I think - possibly only once.

We have a lot of rabbits out here. In the city, you tend not to see them until night falls, but out in the country you can see them pretty often.

I've heard squirrel can also be pretty good, my grandmother loves Brunswick stew, but I've never tried it. Those would be a lot easier to find in the city than rabbits.

My dad would make rabbit occasionally when I was young.  I have made it once.  Also Hudda made rabbit when we visited.

Apparently rabbit is so low in fat that you can starve if it is your primary food.

When one of my friends was at agricultural college, apparently local squirrels had become so emboldened by being fed by successive waves of students that they would come right into the windows and just stare at you, so he used to supplement his food supply by shooting them in the head with his webley air pistol, skinning and gutting them in the halls kitchen then stewing up the meat, a pattern of behaviour which lead to other, more fluffyness-enamoured students petitioning the college authorities to have him expelled.

What are the laws on killing squirrels in the UK? I think here you need a small game license. And in my town, technically you aren't legally allowed to fire an air rifle in city limits.

I should clarify - rabbits have reappeared in the UK, but the eating of rabbit has pretty much not.

I'm sensing a bit of a ressurgence actually. As well as a bit more availability in indy butchers, it's been cropping up on pub menus, especially in the huge gastro-pub region of the Cotswolds. With a near zero livestock cost I would imagine it's going to be an attractive option in the current climate.

I hope that it continues because it's quite a bit of an overlooked meat and by reintroducing it to our national diet, it will reduce our impact on local and global environment management.

What are the laws on killing squirrels in the UK? I think here you need a small game license. And in my town, technically you aren't legally allowed to fire an air rifle in city limits. You could get away with it pretty easily, since nobody's going to notice an air rifle shot, but legally you aren't supposed to do it.

I think you need a license of some description and I doubt shooting would be a preferable option. As far as I know, the recommended method is box trapping. I also understand the law means that should one become trapped by any means, it is illegal to release it back to the wild, you must kill it or keep it permanently trapped.

Since grey squirrels are invasive pests I'm fairly sure you're allowed to just kill them the same way you are rats, mice, pigeons etc.

I've been told by my housemate from Cumbria before that up there, not only are you allowed to shoot grey squirrels, but if you do, if you take the body to someone-or-other, you get paid for it.

schimmy,

Urban myth stemming from tail bonuses that were paid out in the early part of the previous century. Worth noting that tail bonuses were only paid out on red squirrels and not grey.

Turns out I was wrong, no license is required and you can kill them any way you like as long as it falls in line with any other existing ordinance.

I should clarify - rabbits have reappeared in the UK, but the eating of rabbit has pretty much not.

I live in Norfolk and my step-father is a butcher and country-man. Many of his friends own farms in the area and when the rabbits are in season he'd quite often go and clear the fields for them. Most of the time they'd be good enough for him to take to the workshop for cutting up and DAMN rabbit pie is good.

I think regular swedish meal time is far superior to Epic Meal Time but whatever. 

There was an interview with the guy from EMT that I cannot find anymore, but he was asked about the allegations of sexism aimed at them (I assume that they were referring to the girls eating food) and the guys response was "haters gonna hate."  I facepalmed pretty hard. 

Their Meat Salad looked rather unappetizing and I think meat and cheese is getting a little old.  And I think I'm over bacon.  Yep, totally over bacon.

I'm a bit confused. I can't claim to have watched all of EMT but all the ones I've seen featuring females have shown them eating with the dudes. It definitely didn't seem like a sexualised thing and suggested to me that they'd invited a bunch of friends over (male and female) to eat their outrageous concoctions... By all means point me at the EMT in question and I may eat my hat.

Totally over bacon also. Bacon is most assuredly a sometimes food.

Yeah, I was scratching my head at that as well.

I assume someone (like always) got offended because of the sexualized nature of the girls eating the food, as well as some of the things that they've said like when they were talking about taking the syrup from the tree in that awesome french-toast sandwich.  I don't really find it all that offensive but whatever.

Man, I really want to make their amazing french-toast sandwich now, except without it being smothered in syrup.

YouTube is being an asshole for me right now, but look up the "Massive Meat Log" episode. I could certainly see how that could be called sexist. It's not really an endemic theme in the show though, so I don't really give a fuck.

Just watched the "Massive meat log" episode and while it was certainly somewhat sexist it wasn't hugely, overtly "aaawwww yeah look at this bitch cram her face with saaaaaasauge".
Haters gonna hate is probably a fair comment on his part given that there's only a tiny tiny portion of sexism in the show and honestly, most of it revolves around self-depreciating humour and putting themselves through what most people would consider disgusting meals.

The girls were in the middle episodes (to the extent of my knowledge)

I just think that "haters gonna hate" is such an irritating answer during an interview.  It's such a bad deflection of what is a really awesome question that is really, really easy to dismantle.  I was kind of hoping they were going to say something like "it's just pretty girls eating food, and we eat food sexily too."

I think fast-food sushi has been the best thing that they've done.  Serious genius there.  Also, some of their creations have cost around $400....in case anyone was thinking of recreating these.

Yeah, this episode was a minor disappointment for me in that it was the second time they've ever cooked something I wouldn't love to eat.

First time was bacon grease egg nog, which sounds downright abhorrent. I'd probably try this stuff but overall it upset the balance that they have been so good at upholding between ridiculous and delicious.

In addition, I've defended the bacon shtick regularly but at this point even I have to confess that it's gotten old.

I see a fork in the road for this series. They can either continue being innovative in their crazy bro way and become an even bigger sensation or they can keep spending $400 a week on bacon and Jack Daniels and fall out of favor with the ever fickle internet.

I love comparing them to RSMT where you can really tell that they're hamming it up and doing an act.  Every time he puts mayonnaise or whatever that stuff is in his mouth, you see him cringe because it's revolting.  I like that.  I like the fact that they haven't done anything fancy either, it's painfully easy to get sick of "we got bacon, and bacon, and......yeah....even more bacon, WHAT!?" every single time they create something.  The adding alcohol to everything they concoct is also starting to get old.
