Duck
Pick your own baby duck. | |
Five star restaurants should have a pen where they keep the ducks (could be applied to other small food) and you pick your own before dinner. The process has been used for lobster for years with great success. Option of plucking your own. If nothing else the number of vegetarians should increase.

OK, so perhaps open a vegetarian restaurant next door to this place? Thanks for making me laugh. |
|
| |
The horror! Do you heare the carrots screaming when you eat them? |
|
| |
Sadly, I think ducks take too long to pluck and cook for this to be practical (do you hang them like game birds and nice beef?). I'm not sure what's involved in butchering a tofu, though. |

......in the vegetable kingdom only the potatoes have eyes...... |
|

pottedstu is right - most meat is not going to taste its best when just slaughtered. For best results, you are going to have to hang the duck for a while, which would require one hell of a slow starter -maybe taking a couple of days to eat. I'm not sure if I have enough small talk to fill the time. |

I saw the name of this idea and thought it was an imperative... |
|
| |
This would work if they prepared and served the duck the same way lobster is done. Boiled alive, dropped into the water head first, served tail-up, on a plate with some melted butter. Yum. |
|
| |
do I feed the ducks for this, oh dear I feel ill. |
|
| |
Is there any meat on a baby duck? Really? |
|
| |
I always wanted to select my own shrimp and crawdads while they were still alive....oh, wait, I already do that. ;-) |
|
| |
crawdads? that sounds perfectly disgusting |
|
| |
my dear, crawdads are spectacular....think little lobsters with a slightly different taste. I'd invite you down to cajun land for the big party...but alas it is now over for this year. you do have a standing invitation for my restaurant in N'orlens.... |
|
| |
I used to participate in Crawdaddy races - well, not as a crayfish... |

So Rods, are you saying this is an ultimatim to vegitarians; come to our restaurant and eat our expensive vegitarian dishes, or we'll kill Daffy? I think someone ought to clone woolly mammoths Jurassic Park style, just so they can open a restaurant with a woolly mammoth pen so people can choose the mammoth they want slaughtered for their dinner. There could also be an Iron Chef special: battle woolly mammoth. An unfrozen and revived cave man could be the challenger. |

A vegetarian version... select your own potato. |

Every time I see this idea title, I dive under my desk, expecting a steel ball to come crashing through the window. |
|
| |
I'm sure in China they already have this for every creature you can name. |
|
| |
JP, I think he means that people would be so appald by this barbaric practice that they would become veggers as protest.
I like the idea of picking your own vegtables. have a garden near the restrant where patrons could get their hands dirty. |

While you were waiting you could chuck
little bits of bread into the pen. |

In a small town in Mexico, in a "restaurant" in the front room of a house, we ordered fried chicken. We heard a boy running off down the street, and soon heard him running back accompanied by squawking and flapping noises. He didn't ask us to approve the bird, but we were all giggling uncontrollably by then, so it's just as well. |
|
| |
Yeah, that's common practice, I guess, in lands where refrigeration is not as common as it is here and there. Store it live. |
