This is usually the case. There seems to be a nugget of truth in it, but articles always make it seem larger than life. Horse mule and donkey meat consumption is in fact up. Is it significant - no. Is it common, also no. Is it a THING? Na, no it’s not a thing. It’s simply slightly higher than it was before but still very rare.

It doesn’t make sense for it to be a common thing as there simply is not enough donkeys in the country, even if you were to slaughter them all for it is be common. Apparently there is 59k donkeys and 50,920,790 cows in Argentina. There seems to be a 7-16% increase in the slaughter of donkeys for meat although this number seems to be in question. It apparently is a third the cost of cow meat.

I’m not in the UK but in Germany. That seems low and Germans are cheap AF. I usually expect things to be more expensive there. I don’t know about Googles overview, but this is what Google has to say.

The average price of beef in the UK varies significantly by cut, with current retail prices for primary cuts typically ranging between £9.00 and £19.00 per kg. As of April 2026, retail beef prices have seen a sharp increase of approximately 16.4% year-on-year due to supply shortages

The average price of ground beef (mince) in the UK has risen significantly, with retail prices typically ranging from £6.18 to £11.00 per kg as of April 2026

Meh. I saw someone being interviewed who didn’t know who hilter was. Apparently genuine. They even gave hints. When the interviewer told her who he is, she wasn’t even shocked or just having a brain fart. She blamed it on her history teacher…

PUD - Polly under distress?

Don’t. Just don’t. Trust me there are things you can’t unsee.

Don’t.

Yes. Thank you. When I was a bee keeper I learned some about the things. Do honey bees have various issues and struggles … Sure. Are the large varieties of native wild bees soooo much more fucked - yep. Yes they are.

Tuna was not always popular and when people didn’t know what it was it helped people know what they are buying. The US also having a large portion of bilingual people with a Spanish base, this helps it not get confused with cactus fruit (apparently tuna in Spanish)

I’ve seen this many many times before but usually someone comments with links that this never actually happened. Apparently it’s just made up?

Why is it soooo tempting to do?! Everytime I see one that voice in the back of my head says to take it… They won’t notice…

*sous chef. Sous is French for under. So the person directly under the chef is the sous chef.

Wait a minute now… What if that is not cow milk but a milk alternative? Oatmilk, rice milk or almond milk. Could a alternative milk not be a broth?

Sorry! Copy paste

No, but that’s interesting and worth a try.

Yes. Thank you. We have been to the vet, many times for this. I still suspect pain issues, but two different general vets plus a specialist say no.

Edit: we were at the vet again yesterday and the doctor suspects… Pain issues. Upper back and hips.

The big problem is that they know. They know they are making the violence, and unfairly complaining about it. Pointing it out changes nothing for them.

They know and they say it anyways and don’t care if they are wrong because it works. It is unfortunately working.

I mean… If that is your explanation of yeah yeah I know… You have some things to learn about curry. It starts shortly with curry is not simply one thing, and it ends with it is a cooking style as much as anything.

Sounds like some bomb food. I want to eat with you for a while. To help with what they are asking, the meaning of spice below. It sounds like you are using a lot of fresh good healthy food, but little of it is a really a spice. Maybe the turmeric or ginger half counts despite I assume that you are using it fresh. Or likely those green pepper seed.

The rest as veggies, sauces, greens, roots and leaves.

“A spice is a dried, aromatic, or pungent plant product— such as a seed, fruit, root, bark, or rhizome— used to flavor or season food and other products. Examples include pepper, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.”

Oh I got it from here but I tracked it down with a Google search.

Biomass VS population makes some sense though. Having a million ants would be sure, lots, but having a million elephants would be WTF wholy shit!
