I'm thinking for red meat like buffalo. I love the smell of buffalo, and like its color, I just think it would look a lot better on these blue plates. Maybe it's the contrast. Blue is a soothing color. I like the cold. I think I just want to think "cool" when I eat, as far as temperatures go, that may be it.
A lot of raw foodists have Pitta (fire) constitution, and do well with calming (or non-pittagenic) things, like foods that are anti-inflammatory, etc. I had a number of inflammatory diseases (here is a general info list http://sclero.org/medical/symptoms/associated/a-to-z.html). I always liked blue anyway. Blue depresses some people, but blue kind of works like raw fats for me.
It works out great so long as the organ isn't high fat like tongue. I've made jerky out of heart, liver, kidney, and spleen and all dried out quite thoroughly and stored great. The trick is to cut it thin so it can dry out completely. The liver jerky I've got right now I made 6-8 weeks ago and it's showing no signs of any issues so far.
here's a music video from my favorite band, Animal Collective. they're a little bit 'out there,' but they cease to amaze me. also, there's some raw meat eating footage at the end as a bonus. does anyone else follow them? just curious. lately, i've also been listening to philip glass... he's pretty amazing
I too enjoy eating with another carnivore. Normally I eat with my two cats, and then give leftovers to a certain cat who hangs out outside. Problem is, his food attracts carnivore stray "friend" cats, and then I stop putting food out for a while.
FWIW I've been feeding my parents' standard poodles (litter-mate females, ~2 years old) raw meat and raw jerky as a treat for the last ~6 months and they've taken to it quite heartily. They're content with the commercial food they are fed daily but will do practically anything for a piece of liver jerky.
This is my second time around doing RAF. I think the first time I was so deficient in fats and minerals that I found eating mostly meat (technically I started out eating mostly fish and chicken) to be enticing and enjoyable, and eating in an omni/primal style never really felt the need for more variety. Now, and even though I hadn't eaten SAD food in years (three years on raw-vegan with very few periods of simple cooked foods followed by the RAF then followed 6 mo later by clean cooked foods, mostly warrior style eating) I still don't find myself craving foods even when I prepare foods for others, but am honestly struggling with the banality/repetitiveness of how I eat this time around. One difference is I've only allowed myself a handful of fruits in over two months. I imagine eating the largest variety of animal and digestible veg foods is the secret to this.
As for the muscle meat itself I don't have any problems with/can enjoy alot depending on the cut, so I guess this is not at all helpful. Although personally ground is not one of them and find mixing with some egg and/or avocado to be more edible.
I can see how having a animal companion could be helpful, my standards for how I would need to feed one of my own are too high to realize currently as I can hardly afford to feed myself quality food.
