I eat a lot of meat, I fucken love black pudding and pickeled pigs feet and I know that the way most meat is produced is very crule. I try to eat free range meat when I can but it's fucken expensive. But even as a joke that dish sounds fucken sadistic.

It is hysterical that because you are in a band people put the type of music you play against what you eat.

I am one of those vegetarians, but I do not force my beliefs on anyone. So if you choose to do this, it is your choice. Where is that damn disc of yours I own and my lighter!

Yeah, I'd hate to see a genre of music associated with murder, suicide, Satanism, racism, fascism and church burning be tainted with the dread stain of hurting widdle birdies.

Really, writing an article on celebrity chefs and fancy cuisine is metal?

To be fair, some celebrity chefs are pretty metal...

Respect!

taste like chicken?

I am a meat-eater...I will try strange new food...but I think I'm going to have to pass on this one. You lost me with the eye-gouging and the drowning and the bone crunching...*gag*. I can't even clean my own fish when I go fishing...no way could I eat this.

No, writing an article on drowning a tiny bird in booze and then stuffing the entire thing in your mouth while taking part in some coven-like ritual is metal.

This reply wasn't for your sake so much as all the idiots reading this article and responding to it with "ZOMG TAHTS SO CREUL". Of course it's cruel. It's also no worse than the lyrics to your average black metal song.

The column is called Food Coma. I was asked to write about food and that's why I took the gig because it's outside the music box I'm in most of the time.
And via your response, we all learned something cool; you don't have to poke the bird's eyes out. I will let my chef buddies know.

Slightly off topic here but I have to address a few issues:

1.) If you eat fish, you are not a vegetarian.

2.) The belief that vegetarians are inherently protein deficient is a fallacy. It just isn't true. You will get all the protein you need simply by eating a balanced diet...even when that balanced diet does not include meat or other animal products. Vegetables, grains, legumes, etc; will give you all of the protein you need.

The only way to really become protein deficient would be to have a completely unbalanced diet. You'd have to gorge yourself on junkfood or one single low-protein food...like only eating rice, for example.

Now...I really don't care WHAT you eat. I'm certainly not preaching...but I don't like when people trash something based on a refuted theory.

Wow!! I just realized there were 5 pages of comments. And so flamey!!
You care, you really care.
My Italian friend bev_antain said it best:

"Reading it, it's clearly quite tongue in cheek and whoever has followed Scott Ian's carreer through the years will know that the man has quite a sense of humor, even in situations where that might seem unappropriate to some, and probably that sense of humor made him not only one of the most likeable people in metal, but also allowed him to soldier on through cases of extreme bad luck"

Mister Satan, if there ever was another S.O.D. record, you can bet we'd have a song called Ortolan. Can you imagine the shit I would get now if I made
Speak English or Die Deux? I crack myself up just thinking about it.

Don't know if this works. If you want to send some music related questions I'll try and sneak the answers in past the editors. Cheers, Scott

Dude, don't fuckin' tease me like that. I still don't know what happened to Billy.

I'm sorry, I just hear anything about metal and restaurants and food and all I can think of is Burzum's from "Metalocalypse"....
