Why cant you pick your cow

You can pick what lobster you want to eat so why can't you go have a burger and pick what cow you want? I guess I know why on that one, it takes a long time to go from a cow to a burger and there would be a waste, but why can't you pick your salmon, have them swimming around, or go fishing and pick your crab or shrimp? Maybe pick what chicken you want your eggs to come from. Can you pick a lobster, pay for it then take it home uncooked?

    cos they use the same cow for more than one burger.

    Probably, but then why would you want to?

    I think you're on to something here Manda. They should breed really small cows that you can just get one burger out of, then you could point at your cow, and they could kill it for you, skin it, and produce your burger. Then you'd vomit and go home.

    That was quite funny. Good idea though. Lets market it. (get it, market, cow, hahahahha)

    i'm sure you could if it were a matter of just chucking the entire cow in a pot of boiling water.

    you'd need a really big pot, though. and a really big tank to keep the cows in.

    There were a bunch of lobsters all sleepin in the corner of the tank and then there was one in the other corner and he started walking and walked all up on the other ones till he was on top. He was cool. Then I just ate a salad. Then the mans father went over to the tank and picked that one. And ate it. He laughed. I cried. Me and Mr. Garfunkel were buddies!

    That reminded me of this....

    For some reason I thought you could pick the animal while on the safari but I'm guessing I just made that up...

    I believe an episode of the Simpsons touched on this theme when it featured a pick-your-own-cow-and-then-eat-it restaurant ages ago.

    That's why we need to breed the additional, smaller, cows.

    It's not like you could just throw a regular sized cow into a pot, that would be stupid. Most of the people in the burger bars would be too small to lift the cow for a start.

    Hmm. it may have to be genetically engineered. Otherwise it'd have to be crossed with a mouse or something. But I don't want it to taste or look like a mouse. Maybe just breed all the smallest cows together until they get smal by selection.

    Have you ever tasted mouse though, maybe it tastes alright

    I take back my past comments... lobsters are actually v cool... they just float round and look at you innocently. don#t eat them :yum:

    Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    because you eat lobsters fresh from cooking, i should imagine. though not all the time, i'm sure.

    also i'd assume that killing/preparing a cow takes longer than a lobster. :confused:
