What rawpalaeo foods are you eating right now?

[KD]

today I had strange food
4 eggs
.5 lb lamb with mixed organs and marrow
snack of a red delicious (dark) apple, dulse, shitake mushrooms, RB, in-shell pecans (think this was my last experiment with these for a bit, although w/ fresh fruit was probably not the smartest)
.5 lb lamb with mixed organs and marrow
1 small squash, 1 large avocado from a bodega that I believe is fuerte (or a very big hass) non-organic, dulse, raw kim-chi, some local Chinese bitter lettuce of some persuasion, and parsley with ACV. everything organic including above if not specified.

very earthy, like eating out the earth mother. I can't say i 'like' the taste of mushrooms or squash or kim-chi, but the experience is interesting. I feel like Data from Star Trek having a humanoid experience and jotting down notes. Its so different than meats that is certain. no verdict yet on the squash. I crunched a bunch of seeds as I figured veg folks pay $ for these things.

I understand that. I eat a good deal of my meat grass fed. I kind of round out the O 3/6 ratio by eating a bit of salmon, so I figure I'll be fine.

If the salmon is farmed, that won't work. Only if it's raw wild salmon, is that OK.

[Iguana]

Yes, wild fish only!

As I write., I'm just chewing a stick of liquorice  Very nice taste.

[goodsamaritan]

Just ate a quarter of a melon.

Having a raw goose on the 24th.

Wow, maybe your body needed a lot of somthing that was in the chicken  raw chicken honestly grosses me out though, its the only raw meat that I won't really eat unless I really had to....don't worry you probably won't get any salmonella overload if you don't dwell on it too much, I have a feeling the more we worry the more chance something will make us sick....sometimes...

I didn't get sick. I don't know why I ate it. I wanted it, but it didn't taste good and the fatty parts made me gag a little, but I still wanted it. I wanted to eat the bones too, but that wasn't happening  Chicken in general grosses me out. The running joke my whole life has been "I don't derive pleasure from eating flightless birds." Which is true. The one and only time I've had serious illness from animal food was from some cooked chicken from a chain fast food joint. It was the first animal product I'd eaten in a few years. I got violently ill, I thought it was mainly due to the fact that I had been vegan, but every one of my roommates became ill too.
So now I very rarely eat birds other than quail- taste aversion conditioning is a mighty powerful thing. I may eat some livers tonight. I've been ruminating and craving them for long enough, I suppose it's time to act. I smelled some earlier and I salivated. I'll probably just swallow some whole and be done with it.

Cough, ostrich, cough....ever tried it? It not like chicken or turkey.

What's it taste like?

[yuli]

like a very good red meat!

[TylerDurden]

I find ostrich has too bland a taste, no doubt because it's too lean(and farmed on grains).

[KD]

earlier I had about 3/4lb scallop. then later I had a few pre-cut pineapple chunks and then some organ mix. hopefully something fatty later

I tried it a long time ago and remember it being very nice...are you sure it wasn't a bad one because people who like red meat usually love from what I hear...also if the ostriches are farmed on grains wouldn't they be more fatty...? From reading about some ostrich farms it seems they are usually both pastured and grain fed, because they can quickly devastate a pasture otherwise. Many farms seasonally pasture them...they are also very unaltered from their wild state.

I read they can live up to 70 years on a farm, amazing...

[raw]

I've tasted sheep's raw stomach for the 1st time today and it was so yummy! Kinda sweet taste. I also had raw wild caught jumbo shrimps for the 1st time today and they tasted divine!

I'll admit I was not sure they were grainfed. However, modern farmers have a huge tendency to feed their animals grains for a number of reasons re profit, so, often if pastured/grassfed is not mentioned, then grainfed is very likely.

Anyway, I have tried ostrich several times as it's a novelty food in the UK, and never liked it.  I only like the taste of truly wild birds like raw wild mallard duck etc.

[KD]

boneyard. marrow/short ribs. had maybe 15 black grapes from my bodega earlier of which some smelled of mold  and some eggs on rising.

[yuli]

That marrow looks tasty yello yum, its begging to be scooped out!

Yesterday was a weird eating day for me....

Raw goat (a little fatty) followed by a very ripe persimmon followed by a small bowl of kefir with 2 big spoons of cod oil and 4 drops of vit D (I feel I really need the D now) followed by a dark sour apple and very sour white grapefruit, then I had a small piece of [CENSORED item here] ...today I have zero hunger haven't eaten anything....later I'll prolly eat some sour kraut and kefir then bacon (I don't cook the bacon) before sleep. Getting really focused on sour stuff lately dunno y.

EDIT: nope I ended up getting hungry and ate raw ground beef instead. See planning what to eat and when never works 

[yuli]

Having some amazingly fresh wild caught snapper, what a difference from the farmed fish, it starts bland but develops nutty taste as you eat it.
Before that I had some fresh ground deer but decided that should be dried a little as its kinda too moist.

Last night I had spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and an orange bell pepper. I REALLY enjoyed the spinach..

Before that I finished off the marrow from some bones, and then moved on to having some fat off-cuts from my butcher. I was enjoying this, had a few hundred grams(~500?), and then I started to get a chemical taste from it. Is it possible that this is something natural in the fat?? Or is it, as it tastes, that some cleaning chemicals have bound on to the fat? I've always experienced this same chemical taste at some point from fat-trimmings, never from the fat that comes with any meat though. I've never had a cut of meat with so much fat on it as that though of course.. I've only had fat trimmings from two butchers from the same town though, and it makes sense that all butchers would use the same cleaning stuff anyway. Generally this butcher hasn't seemed to have any problems from chemicals,  but maybe they don't give the same care when handling fat off-cuts? Or maybe fat just binds on to the chemicals more strongly?

I also had like 10 apples, 10 clementines and 2 oranges.

All the shops are shut so I can't get any meat. I have a bit of an ox kidney left though which I'll probably have today

[goodsamaritan]

melons this morning.
1 mango this mid morning.
salad this lunch
and 1 date.

[KD]

6 lambs tongues
3 marrow bones
2 bodega bananas snapped up as the only choice during a blizzard with a dab of honey and X
and a partridge and the bark of a pear tree (to scrape out the parasites in the lambs tongues I guess)

[laterade]

I ate some oysters today...
And found tiny crabs inside of about 5/15 of them!
They were delicious, complemented the oysters well. 

[miles]

Brussel Sprouts;Asparagus; Broccoli; Spinach; Garlic, Bell Peppers; Mushrooms; Cauliflower; Beet Roots; Carrots; Radishes; Frozen Pheasants(ate whilst still frozen); Beef Fat trimmings; moist few week old Ox Kidney.

[TylerDurden]

Raw goose plus some raw pears/apples.  The very fatty goose is undoubtedly partially grainfed and intensively-farmed, given the very low price, but it is far tastier than any of the raw geese/turkeys I've bought in past years for Christmas, so I suspect that it was more pastured than is usual.

[miles]

I don't think the garlic was a good thing to eat and I doubt I'll have any more. It seemed to cause me some aches/pains.

Recently when I ate one clove of garlic I almost vomited.
