Who would think in a moment like that, about lamb soup, a tajine made of a leg of lamb, etc. fore sure not a vegetarian.
I have to say, I considered it too, but (please don't take it wrong if you are a Veggie) I think it is against nature not to eat everything the nature provides us with. We are made that way, so why changing it. For a religious believe OK, but just because its a life style thing, i wouldn't.
I have seen however pictures of mass animal transporters, of "meat factories", etc. thats why I want to see where my food comes from.
Today its easy, with the labeling, or best with a butcher of your trust,
you have a choice, what to eat, and what not.
I enjoyed my lamb chop last weekend, fresh from the grill, surrounded by lambs, on a table build from stone. OK, it sounds maybe a bit awkward or macabre for somebody living in a big city never seen a animal in nature, buts thats just the way it is on the Country Side in Ireland.
I hope that doesn't change.
