Duck! I'd say it's my favorite meat in general

As long as sea creatures count, I’m going with scallops.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I love scallops so much. Usually broiled, but I'll occasionally treat myself to scallop sashimi. Not sure which I like better.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, they're certainly not fruits and vegetables, are they?

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Does fish count? I like fish.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I'd say fish counts, but it's too broad a category. It's kind of as if you said your favourite meat were "mammal" or "bird".

Personally, I think I'd pick salmon as my favourite.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Fresh caught panfish is where it's at, deepfry those filets in some beer batter and I'm in heaven

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yes. Salmon's probably my favorite fish. I eat a lot of sardines, though because they're lower in mercury and such.

[–] razorcandy@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

When I still ate meat, I preferred game meat like venison.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

I was vegan for almost four years, only breaking it once sometime in the middle, for a meal of venison a coworker prepared for us.

Had deer bacon for breakfast and will be cooking deer burgers for dinner!

I like alligator on occasion too when I come across it. There's a creative taco stand that has gator tacos that are pretty good.

Goat with duck as honorable mention, lobster is trash I don't eat anything out of the sea.

[–] phanto@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Goat! It's the greatest of all time! Hehe. The only goat I ever eat is goat curry from a place down the street from me, but dang if it isn't the tastiest dish ever! https://hotmillion.ca/ (Not AI, not affiliated with them, just a fan.)

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Lobster. Others’ mentions of goat, and duck are also right up there.

One of the best meats I've had were reindeer and horse, smoked and then browned in butter. Visit Lapland if you get the chance.

We use ground turkey at home in a lot of our cooking. I like!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Ground turkey is a really great replacement for beef. But I like making a whole turkey or turkey breast every quarter or so.

Turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, turkey stock, turkey gravy.

Eel, sadly it's not ecologically sustainable

Ok, I was joking with the fish ain't meat post. But beans really aren't meat.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Have you ever seen beans move on their own?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net -2 points 3 days ago

If your definition of meat is limited to "animal flesh", I don't know what to tell you. I'm just gonna make myself a peanut butter sandwich.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago (3 children)

What kind are your favorite? I've been making a lot of fava bean recipes lately

[–] razorcandy@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How do you like to use fava beans?

Not the original commenter, but I like baking white beans (the most common kind available where I live) and using them in stews. Occasionally I’ll buy tinned black beans to put in burritos.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Ful mudamas for the fava beans is my favorite. White beans in soup and stews are the best too

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 days ago

Black beans are definitely the favorite, I eat a lot of Mesoamerica cuisine. But cannelini beans are great in soups, chickpeas work with everything, and red beans are also great in certain preparations.

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

With a nice chianti?

[–] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Mincemeat. It isn't what you think it is. It's better.
