Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Famous Death Row Last Meals
WC Fields once said "I love children ... if they're cooked properly." As a dedicated meat eater, I tend to have similar feelings about vegans.
While some of my best friends deny themselves the joy of animal products, I simply can't imagine completely divorcing myself from cheese, honey, milk and all the wonderful foods that come from animals. On some level, the idea of approaching life from a tofu haze seems almost suicidally self-abnegating.
In fact, while I have occasionally practiced vegetarianism, I am, at heart, a true carnivore. For health reasons, I try to limit my consumption, but I believe, both philosophically and sensually, that meat is an important part of my diet, if not everyone else's.
But which meat is the best? For health reasons, I'd probably go with chicken or turkey, but if it came to richness, my answer might be duck or veal. In terms of flavor, the answer could be lamb or beef, but for extravagance, it's hard to top a nice big buffalo filet mignon. Then again, in the summer, nothing beats a good grilled swordfish steak ... except for maybe a piece of lightly seared tuna.
Vote for your favorite meat after the jump.
If you, like me, have a hard time choosing the best meat in the world, you might want to check in with So Good's Meat Madness survey.
Every day, through March and April, the site will have a match-up between two different types of meat, until it determines the best meat in the world. Even if you don't want to vote, it's a great opportunity to consider the relative merits of all the world's meats!

Seriously, my favorite meats are wild game with hooves. After that come wild quail. THEN we get down to beef. Followed by chicken, turkey and pork. That said, I will definitely eat my weight in fish every time I am presented with good fish. I don't eat sashimi and I don't care for sushi. Trash fish dredged up from the lakebottom mud will not do.
For everyday purposes, I go to the store and buy beer. Mongo say so. Ugh.

There's a lot to be said for the bizarre meats. I used to live near an ostrich farm and a buffalo farm, which meant that I could get really fresh exotics. And reindeer can be pretty good, too...
