Meat

Foodporn Pics, Beauteous Prose, and Recipes are encouraged.
The meatier the better.
The Fanatics of the Cu(l)t of Bacon are welcome to proselytize here, at the bacon-wrapped altar of Ron Swanson.
If you hate meat, or people that eat meat, please post elsewhere. You have no chance of converting anybody here and you'll look like a lunatic.

RULES:

Debating vegan ethics and diets is not on our menu.

There are other subreddits in which to discuss the ethical, religious, and health aspects of vegetarian and vegan diets, and conversion to and from them.

Please don't entertain the trolls. Nobody "wins" those debates.

We shall not hate our non-consuming brethren.

If a fanatic falls through the cracks and gets in here spouting anti-meat rhetoric, just report it and move on.

Similarly, don't go trolling the anti-meat subreddits and also posting here sucking up to us. We mind our own choices, not the choices of others.

Any photos must be your own or unique

And not those of your johnson.

Photos lifted from elsewhere to demonstrate a technique and/or pose a culinary question are OK. Site the source if it makes claims and/or is somewhat unique.

Is My Meat OK to Eat? Is it rotten? Are these worms or other cooties in my meat?

We get a lot of these and they get old. The subreddit is equally divided on these types of posts. You'll likely get some honest answers along with some snide comments and your post may be removed or locked. You may want to post in r/foodsafety instead.

No Youtube, Blog, Referral Codes, Polls, Surveys, Karma Farming, Stolen Photos, or Religion.

Links to blogs, youtube, and referrals to meat-shares automatically removed. No politics unless it has to do with the meat industry. 'And no religion, too.'

Polls are OK only if you're in credible Animal or Meat Science program.

No Shitposting - Euphemisms, "long pig" (instant ban!), childish, unproductive, no-quality posts.

References to long pig (especially), anthropomorphisms, euphemisms, and any other -isms are just not constructive. As is giving purposely wrong information in reply to an honest on-topic question. Many of you will get burned on this one, especially the drive-bys.

When shit-posting overtakes a thread it may be sanitized, locked , or just deleted. Don't sabotage an otherwise good topic.

New redditors and karma-shy accounts are moderated

Sorry. This one kinda sucks.

If your worthy post was auto-rejected due to low karma or account age you can PM the mods a nasty-assed, indignant, hate-screed message and there's a good chance you can score a Golden Ticket with no karma attached.

Otherwise, get some karma and age on your account - it doesn't take much.
