1 meat for the rest of your life

I'm just not that big of a veal fan. That being said, one of my favorite dishes in all of fooddom is osso bucco, but veal too, ahem, lean for me.

I think pork has been unfairly getting the shaft from those misinformed and ill-informed ads over the years.

Well, I think those ads were meant to recover from the drubbing pork took when people started paying attention to things like fat and cholesterol.

I don't know, man. Give me a steady diet of sweetbreads, calf's tongue, calf's liver, osso buco, veal chops, blanquette and veal breast and I would be a pretty ******* happy guy. I think I would still pick pork, but to me veal is the one meat that offers something pork cannot replace.

+1 on veal. Had some sous vide veal cheeks Saturday night.

Jews have managed to replace pork with veal in almost everything (although, sadly, Osso Bucco is still not Kosher). But you can manage a decent "moo shu veal", a solid hot italian sausage, and even some type of "bacon". I don't think pork or veal can replace duck or many different types of seafood.

This is not right. Historically in the French cradle of duck and pork, the southwest, the duck and pork are used nearly interchangeably. Nothing is going to replace fish, of course.

I'm amazed chicken is winning. I eat chicken maybe once a month, at most. I picked other for seafood, but it probably is cheating - the variety is too great. I eat pork five days a week on average, beef two days a week, seafood three days.

Damn, I eat way too much meat, now that I think about it.

I voted beef. I'd miss bacon the most. don't know why anyone voted chicken...

Indeed.

I once got sick of 'seafood'. It wasn't pretty.

If seafood is an option, I choose 'wildlife'. One of the more diverse types of meat.

Of the poll I'm hung between beef and pork. There is no right choice here and I won't make it.

Beef all the way! It's probably not as versatile as chicken or pork, but I'd miss hamburgers and bone-in ribeye steaks more than anything else.

That's because chicken is raised in the US in huge factories. Travel outside of the US and chicken has alot more flavor.

Kosher question: would veal not inherently be non-kosher due to treatment of the young bulls?

I eat chicken everyday, but I would cry for months if I had to give up beef. There's no way I'd choose chicken.

Anyone who doesnt say pork is doing it wrong.
