Title: 'girly' Meat & Liver 'salad'
Post by: yuli on September 24, 2010, 12:06:59 pm
I had this for breakfast and really enjoyed it...
It's grassfed beef chunks, grainfed organic calf liver which tasted like chocolate, in the middle a ball of marrow (all had left today)
and 3 of my current favorite veggies, 2 of which are fruits lol...tomato, avocado and green onion.
I used no condiments as it was already perfect on its own.
Bon apetit!

liver looks fresh! nice!

sometimes i come across liver of different textures and taste from the same grass fed company, which depend on age of the animal, feed, and how old the meat is

This was my first raw liver and it seemed to taste very right...I never thought it would be so sweet though...I almost feel bad eating it like I am eating sweets lol, I bought 2 of them so I'll be enjoying it for a few days.

Do you eat veggies with your meat and fat?
I never mix that stuffs with each other.
I prefere "sequential eating" - http://www.drbass.com/sequential.html

sometimes I eat meat with plants, sometimes just plants, sometimes just meats...I am somewhat of a random eater  :P
as long as its not too many plants with the meat it doesn't seem to bother me.
but I don't like fruits and berries with anything but themselves or with nuts maybe

OK. I practically do not eat any veggies. The main sources of my carbs are fruits and I eat them 1-1,5 hour before meat and fat.

    It looks so pretty, Yuli!  But better yet, I know it tastes good.  Lamb liver has less sugar than calf liver.  I like that.  It doesn't get sour.  Calf liver tastes like vinegar to me if the store had it too long, and chicken liver gets bubbly, which is cool and pleasant, but I'd rather just the pure meat protein when keeping liver.  If you haven't tried lamb's, give it a try.  Liver tastes like chocolate to me too.  I know of a restaurant that serves chocolate liver shakes, but I'm sure it's all cooked.

Looking good Yuli. Another fine 'girly' presentation!  :)  I'm impressed at how quickly you've fully taken on this WOE.

I'd second RawZi's comments that if you haven't tried lamb's liver yet it's well worth it.  It's the only liver I don't mind eating.  Sadly, mine doesn't taste like chocolate but, when aged, can resemble a fine aged cheese.

I can see how veggies can become less and less important the longer you do this RPD, for example when I started RPD I was making big salads and a week later had to stop the salads as it was too much roughage, I no longer eat big salads. In the picture I just had a small tomato, few green onion sprigs and a quarter of a small avocado...all together not a lot of veggies compared to what I was eating b4, I think with time I might not even like veggies anymore.
I do still love herbs, like green onion, dill, coriander and raw garlic...I think I may keep those in my diet for a long time, especially garlic since it keeps any parasites at bay, and I am not yet ready for high meat yet.
My 2 fave veggies now, avocado and tomato, are actually fruits though, and I do like to have them separately blended into a creamy soup a couple times a week.  :)

rawZi and Michael... lamb liver sounds pretty good, if its less sweet I'll def. go for that next time.
I bought a lamb heart and kidneys and will try it soon (I forgot to ask them for the liver, duh), they look so small (cute) compared to the giant cow heart and kidney I had before!

Valid observations Yuli.  I've been a member of this forum pretty much since it began a couple of years ago and have been eating this way for many years.  Initially, I could never understand how other members could eat little to no fruit/veg as I was still eating good quantities of each along with my meats etc.  This slowly decreased to simple condiments of onion, garlic, sweet pepper, fresh herbs, tomatoes.  Now, I eat virtually none!  It's incredible how ones taste does change.  Also, the more I've learned about the anti-nutrients in most fruit/veg, the more I've decreased my consumption with compounding improvements in my digestion and health.

I still have fruit binge fits at times (usually if I am up late) and gotta cut that out...last night I stupidly ate 5 peaches and 2 apples...ugh that really didn't feel good after, I don't get diarrhea but I get gas like crazy from that (not to mention the yucky sugar rush) ...so no plants for me today gotta recover  :'(

Don't worry Yuli - I still indulge in a little fruit myself every now and then! :)  Although, I'm glad to say, I would no longer consider inflicting 5 peaches and 2 apples on myself!! :o  I'm not surprised you suffered the described consequences!  Difficult to abstain when you have a tempting abundant supply in your garden I'm sure.

I would expect the fruit binges to slowly decrease in frequency and level if you stick with this WOE.  I tend to just eat a controlled amount of berries occasionally now with the odd indulgence on special occasions eg my recent birthday which included, shhh, organic mango, unpasteurised ewe cheese and raw honeycomb!   -X

I think my fruit binges stopped after consuming those four bananas which made me sick all night (I did that a few days after the 5 peaches binge), I really learned my lesson, now even thinking of bananas revolts me.

Your birthday feast must have been scrumptious! I love good mangos, what a treat... I recently got my hands on some good raw cheeses but I am not indulging in them (I only bought them because I was so happy to see raw cheeses being sold in Ontario), just having a little slice every now and then. Last night I had a piece of raw Emmental wrapped in nori, it was such a nice combo.

ha ha :)  I find that it's often good to learn things the hard way.  The thought from reading of your peaches and bananas revolts me!!  :)

Yes, I must say that I enjoyed the feast immensely!  :)  Sliced chunks of raw cheese topped with sliced chunks of raw honeycomb and washed down with freshly cut mango was some treat!  That's incredibly disciplined of you to pick at your newly found cheese in such a manner.  I'm impressed!  Also impressed that you managed to buy it in Ontario - I thought raw dairy was completely illegal in Canada?!

Where are you in Ontario?  Great country!  I have fond memories of Thunder Bay, Ontario as part of my 1995 coast to coast backpacking trip.

Raw dairy IS illegal in Ontario, however many stores are allowed to sell fully-raw aged cheeses for SOME reason (I have seen it in a few supermarkets, many healthfood stores, and at Costco lol) :o I already had one from Switzerland (emmental) and one from Quebec (strong cheddar)...both were great. It's cool because I hate milk in any form anyway (so it wouldn't make me want to buy it even if it was raw) but although I don't like to consume a lot of dairy, I really really enjoy some good aged cheese it can be the best, especially if you want to have some type of comfort-food you can't beat a chunk of good aged cheese yummm!

I am in Toronto, its a concrete jungle but I live on the outside of it so I have 2 huge parks on either side of my house each a five min walk away, with deer foxes etc. so I have the privilege of having some nature and being close to my beloved concrete jungle lol (I actually enjoy biking on busy streets and downtown it can be very mentally stimulating for me and fun, like a video game, go fast and between the cars and race with cars and other bikers, sense of danger too lol)

I think Ontario has some beautiful nature around, we always drive down various lakes to swim on the summer weekends.
However for nature vacations we usually head to Quebec and Nova Scotia, where the nature can be just breathtaking to say the least... I never get why Canadians go to Cuba for the summer or something like that, wtf, there is such beauty around here nature-wise, and I prefer the ruggedness of it as a pose to a tropical beachy-banana place anyway.

I didn't realise that raw cheese was permissible.  That's great!  I agree that aged cheese can be one of the finest foods on occasion.  Some of the European artisan cheeses are quite wonderful.  Do you have access to any French or Spanish raw cheeses?

I stayed in Toronto for a couple of weeks as I actually really enjoyed the City.  I think it's a wonderful compromise to live on the edge of a City as you do so one gets to enjoy the best of both worlds.  I live in a similar location.  I'm surrounded by fields, woodland, off-road cycle tracks, wildlife etc yet am just a 30 min cycle ride from the City Centre and a 45 min drive from some heritage coastline.

You're certainly surrounded by far more breathtaking scenary than I am in my particular region of England.  I didn't see much of Quebec or Nova Scotia unfortunately but hope to on a return trip one day.

Although I, too, wonder at the attraction of 'beach holidays' I would very much like to visit Cuba for political and musical reasons.  But, I think Canada offers a lifetime of travel, adventure and discovery on it's own and there's probably little reason to ever leave! :)

I hope, too, that you manage to make it!  I haven't managed to return for 15 years but it's long overdue.  I'm sure you'd absolutely love the country and the people.  There sure are some interesting places in Northern Canada and Alaska.  We just need Yuli to invite us all over for a raw paleo get together?!  ;)

I have never been to Alaska yet, I can't wait to explore its rugged beauty!

A raw paleo get together would be awesome, especially in the summer in the nature of course  ;D

Here are some landscapes I took pics of in my time in a little town called Tadoussac in Quebec this summer...
If you like swimming in lakes, taking hikes, running barefoot on a long beach and climbing on rocks of all sorts this place is for you  :)
Also I saw lots of whales there just from the shore while climbing on the rocks, it was cool...

It was sooo fun, and I had never came back with more bruises, scabs and scratches on me ever before lol
I haven't seen any bears there yet, just whales, little mammals, foxes and deer. There probably are bears though, but they seem to be in hiding which I don't mind ha ha...
The pics of the streaming water on the rocks are from freshwater lakes and rivers (theres too many there to count), I drank that water it was nice.
The big body of water you see the St. Lawrence river, and it cold as heck (even all summer) and very SALTY (don't try and drink it ha ha), on the rocks around the St. Lawrence I found lots of sea salt it was very tasty, you can easily gather sea-salt there.
There is also big mud/clay cliffs and that part of the beach is clay mixed with the salt water, a great antidote for your feet after they have been beaten up by going through the rocks. But its freaky because sometimes you start to sink into the wet clay! There is also a crap-load of mussels there. And we saw huge these long blue worm things with red millipede-like legs - very alien-like. All in all I like that place because of all its micro-climates and micro-environments (you can be walking in one part of the forest and its hot, then take a few more steps into another area and you have to put you sweater on), it's a nice variety all in one region.

EDIT: The first pic is actually fresh water, a larger lake...but the parts with the big beaches are salt-water...We had our little tent right on a mini-beach in front of a smaller freshwater lake. It was really nice until it rained a lot one day and we discovered our tent is not water-proof ha ha ha...that was probably the only non-fun part of the summer. After that we fixed up our tent  O0

Sounds like an amazing place with many sources of raw paleo foods :)

I would feel uneasy about the bears though. Must be all the stories I heard of bear attacks.
I would at least have a rife, unless I was with a bunch of fellow caveman with spears  ;D

Sometimes I feel uneasy about some dogs.  -[ I got chased when I was younger.
It must be the fight or flight instinct. Unfamiliar dogs, I either ignore them or feel like I have to kill them.  Not all dogs, just ones that give you the silent stare. I try to remain calm, but rather just confront it and rough it up to show dominance.

Some of you dog lovers must think I am crazy.

Edit: imagine a hungry bear staring you down and running you down....when you have no weapon... :( :'(

Heh, bringing a weapon can be a pretty good idea, but I haven't heard of any bear stories in that area.
More effective against bears then bringing a weapon is to NEVER have ANY food in your tent.
We would store all our food at the youth hostel shared fridge about a half an hour walk away (=
We would never eat at the tent, but would go to the youth hostel to eat...
Unless they think you have food I don't think bears would bother you, they don't like people and they don't like to come up to people unless people are idiotic enough to start feeding the bears! Never do that, thats how it all starts.

Afraid of dogs eh! I am only a bit afraid of pitbull type dogs (not because they're bad dogs but people don't seem to know how the hell to raise them)...twice I was walking a friend's dog and she got attacked by a pitbull for no reason.
Once I was jogging in the park and this woman walking a pitbull-type dog had to hold it back cause it started growling at me, I was afraid she wont be able to hold its leash or would let go so I was already starting to look for a tree to climb  :P
Again they're not "bad" dogs but only should belong to VERY dog-educated people, would you fight a pitbull Sully? I think you are very fit and strong but I will still bet my money on the pitbull  :o

LoL looking for tree,

Yeah, the dogs that stare at me are usually dogs hard to train, usually pit bulls. My aunt had golden retriever that was very untrained, growled and snapped and went berserk. I restrained it with easy. But the issue with the pitbull may be its lack or long hair,

Fight a pit bull you say... Not siding with me?  :'( lol

Dogs have weak wrestling muscles compared to apes and humans (well fit ones). The only thing I would worry about is the bite, a toothless dog is useless of course and easy pickings. Well, anyone that can at least do 10 pull ups or bench 100lbs, should have no prob subduing a toothless pitbull physically speaking.

The bite will be the only real danger. Shoving stick in its mouth to distract it then grabbing the neck and then sitting on it would be wise

Or a shin kick, I could kick a dog with a low kick and break its ribs or knock it out.

Post by: yuli on October 08, 2010, 08:55:14 am
LOL, pitbulls can be quite fast and yes, its their bite thats the only danger, they're not wrestlers, they're incredible jaws with teeth and speed...once it bites you're fucked, cause they have a very large pain tolerance, so you can break its ribs but it will still hang on to you, and then break your bone.
Erm yes yes I would win in a toothless pitbull fight too  l)
Also pit-bulls are quite small dogs, for their size its amazing the damage they can inflict, little sharks they are. Image a human size pitbull! Yikes!
Oh and would have to make it even and cut your hands off, then you can fight the toothless pitbull   >D
I'm just kidding, lets hope neither of us ever has to fight a pitbull, even if you win you may be missing some pieces...

EDIT: oh yeah, one thing I heard thats effective against pitbull attack is to jam your fist far down its throat if you can be fast enough, then it will suffocate...

Heh, a Kosh is a baton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIp_fpRR65M but he has a small heavy, metal one.

And Yuli if you're going to train with other people, just start looking at what clubs you have close by and try to get one that has an emphasis on sparring and free-practise. But then it depends what you're after. There is a Muay Thai session near me, where they spend 10mins standing around, 10mins 'warming up' 1hr30mins circuit training, 10mins kicking air and then maybe spar once every few months... I went to have a look at it one day, useless... Then you'll get a Muay Thai club somewhere else where it's just 2hrs of free-practise; meaning people just pair up and practise what they want, mostly sparring, which is the best. These places will also have lessons as well, but the foundation should be the free-practise, and you should do the lesson to learn stuff which you will use in free-practise. Depends what you want though. Whether you want to fight friendly/competitive, and then practise/learn stuff to use in the fighting, or you want to role-play about you epic badassness and go looking for fights with weaklings to use your crazy-ass moves.

Well, in the beginning, it doesn't really matter what you take, as much as it matters who your instructor is. If you can find a good instructor you will be set. Finding a good martial art school is hard though.

The best though, would be if you could get a mix between Muay Thai and Judo, but with shorts only(no gi/pads etc). Judo is great, but you lose a lot of fluid in the gi. Muay thai is great but you have stupid boxing gloves. UFC-MMA is good but not enough reward given for throws, considering how padded their floor is and again, stupid gloves. The floor offers protection for the person being thrown, whilst the gloves offer protection for the hand throwing the punch, and the outer tissues of the opponent, but does allow for harder punches which means more internal(e.g. brain) damage.

Wow, awesome videos!
I think the idea of a Muai Thai and Judo mix is the best...both of those appeal to me...
I love the aggressiveness of Muai Thai, lots of kicks...good for me...and Judo has so many acrobatics in it, and throws are deadly  :o

The wrestling guys look very tough...the jiu jitsu looks like its all submission, very tactical...

But Budha's Palm is the one I want to learn the most, I'll go and check if they teach that somewhere in my city!

I would never wan't to wear padding/gloves though - I think you learn it better without. Also yes, I'd want as much sparring time as possible, as well as demonstration and explaining the techniques at first. Wouldn't want to go to a class where they keep kicking the air over and over lol, I can do that in my room and its free  :)

thanks for the tips

You got to understand in natural circumstance we would be safe around many people within a band/tribe.

Just by yourself, you better have a gun to be safe. Better safe than sorry.
