“Meat is animal flesh that is used as food.”
Facts people, facts, like the truth, will set you free. And correct errant posters.
Gord:
The GG ate a seal’s HEART.
That is not animal FLESH, but an animal ORGAN. Other examples of organs are livers and lungs.
And that’s a fact.
Gord:
The GG ate a seal’s HEART, which is an ORGAN.
Other examples of organs … lungs, liver.
Those are the facts, wikiman.
syf, The heart is a muscle although it is a lot less fatty than the rump roast meat you are sitting on. Whatever point you were trying to make is moot anyhow. The PM & crew took part in the local custom which is probably a normal thing for most of us to do with the exception of TJ. Ever had a prairie oyster, kissed a cod or drank a Yukon(sourtoe) cocktail? I didn’t think so.
Tex:
I totally support what the PM did.
At the very least, it shows respect for the populace he was visiting.
I’ve had plenty of interesting foods in my life, thanks for asking.
Gord and Tex:
Wiki defines the heart as a muscular organ.
‘Muscular’ is an adjective which gives further description as to the organ’s structural nature.
Grammar lesson over.
The GG ate a seal organ … it’s heart … not seal meat.
Facts, people, facts.

Exactly when did the heart stop being part of the animal ? The heart is an organ composed of muscle tissue, tissue that is composed of cells, or fiber, in other words; Meat. You know kindof like the right hip can be a rump roast and back straps can be tender loin the heart is meat and belongs to whatever critter it came out of, ie. a deer heart is still deer meat, a goose heart is still goose meat, so therefore; a seal heart is still seal meat.
But, back to the topic, I would pay to see PETA Folks swim out to place theirselves between an Orca and a Baby Seal. *

Seal meat is not tasty animal meat. Doesn’t smell very good in the pot, either.
Thank goodness none of you are advising the Prime Minister on what photo op to do next. He’d be even worse off than he is now.
You would undoubtedly suggest they make a video of him clubbing a seal, just to prove he means what he says.
Whenever the next election comes Harper better get the rookies out of his office or he will at best get another minority.
TJ, you would be the first to say the PM was disrespecting the Inuit if he did NOT eat the seal meat..
After all, when in Rome etc…

The heart is a freakin’ organ.

It’s also a piece of meat.
Kursk, no I wouldn’t say that, and I don’t know what makes you presume I would.
My point is simply that this was an amateur and foolish photo-op, obviously dreamed up by someone in Harper’s office who hasn’t the faintest idea how to properly manage the public perception of the Prime Minister.
Are there no Newfoundlanders here to defend the taste of seal? I only had it once (canned), and I loved it. Why aren’t all the PETArds suggesting we eat seals, so we can close all those factory farms and save their precious cows/chickens/piggies?
Which makes me wonder: what exactly is supposed to happen to all the aforementioned when they are “liberated”? Obviously animals that have undergone thousands of years of selective breeding for domestic husbandry and consumption are completely unfit to be returned to the wild – especially on a continent they aren’t native to in the first place.
Guess they want giant livestock bonfires. Anyone know? I’ll betcha it’s really this: reduce the human population to relict levels and we all live off roots and berries.
Like I always say: you first. 🙂
We had canada geese in a field migrating. I got 2 of em with the trusty winchester.22. My neighbor lost his mind and said they were protected or some such. I said noone protected these, go get a 12 pack. They were friggen delicious, smoked over hickory chunks for 18 hours. I’d do it again in a minute.
