Do You Eat Babies?
60 Answers
Obviously not human ones.
Just reading another thread about soft shell crap and someone mentioned that they were baby crabs.
Do you feel guilty at choosing the young offspring of an animal as it's more succulent such as soft crabs, veal, baby chickens, calves, lamb and so on or do you say meat is meat and the younger the better?

It is only France that insists on force feeding ducks and geese (it can't be called foie gras if it isn't), other countries do it the natural way but that does not mean that no foie gras from those countries is not from force fed birds.
I have no problem at all with eating young animals. To keep up with the demand for milk many more calves are born than are needed. It makes sense to eat them as veal - it is harsh, but veal is a by product of milk, cream and cheese.

Good one tamborine I forgot about roe which I loved when I tasted it. I've only ever had it on crackers, is that the best way? I suppose it would be even better with a dash of olive oil, a dash of lemon juice and a twig of parsley AND maybe a sprinkle of smoked paprika? Sound good or a pukefest waiting to happen?
Soft shell crabs are just crabs that have moulted and their new shell hasn't yet hardened.
I do find the term 'baby' as a description of anything small a bit well...babyish. Does 'baby' sweetcorn grow up into big sturdy adult sweetcorn, or 'baby' beetroot grow into hulking adult beetroot that might get together and raise a family.... don't think so.
