What is the best meat? I want to go chicken for its variety and its multiple uses, but every time I go fancy in my life I go seafood.


What does that mean?


Am I a cheap whore for liking chicken? Or does the fact that when I choose "fancy" I go seafood show my true colors?

Never tasted pork in my life as it is not halal. So I can't talk about it. Of the last 3 chicken is the one I have the most often eaten, and even if it was often in fast foods I still consider it a feels good moment. I would have chosen lamb if it was on the menu but as it is not I prefer not as other can be too many things and it would disrupt the poll. Seafood could have been my choice as I always loved it in restaurants but not often enough that if I had to choose to stop one of them I would stop chicken. Beef ? I don't like it that much. Don't know why.

The lack of lamb is on me because of where I am.


EviLore EviLore DGrayson DGrayson or any other mod that sees this can you add Lamb to the poll please?

I don't eat pork, but chicken is best. It's featured in a lot of different cuisines in interesting ways so it's quite versatile. Lamb would probably be next since Mutton Biryani is amazing.

I love Beef, I love seafood, pork is good when prepared well. but for me if I have to choose one its chicken. I grew up eating a lot of chicken. I like chicken breasts although some say too dry. Now we mostly buy thighs and legs. Very versitile and tasty too.

See that is where I am at. I can get a rotisserie chicken at Sam's for like $6 and know I have dinner tonight and leftovers for the next two days because chicken is just that kind of meal. Quesadillas, sandwiches, omelets, ect ect. There is always a use for a bit of chicken.


On top of that chicken justs last much longer on its own. Pork or beef meanwhile usually has a much shorter use for me.

The best way to enjoy lamb is cuts from a leg with a roast dinner (with a mint sauce) or a lamb shank. If not a thing in your supermarkets / butchers can you get it at posh greek restaurants in usa? Not sure how great it would be as cuts in greasy / sweaty kebabs tbh.

Ostrich is pretty nice too.

I have never been to a Greek food stop in my life and after a brief check there is none around me besides one that has a 3.3 star rating with talk of food poisoning.


Just being honest.

Chicken then seafood but no fish. Only seafood I eat is prawns, mussels, whelks

I don't like pork, lamb or beef.

My wife's slow-cooked pork roast is the best-tasting food on this planet. Also love boneless chicken thighs. I don't eat either of these often, though, because neither are all that healthy for me.

Usually, I have tuna once a week, and sardines and rice once a week. Other days it's either eggs or chickpea curry (with sliced turkey breast every other week).

I wish we had fresh locally caught sashimi/sushi, though. I'd eat that every other day. Pretty sure raw fish is probably the healthiest option in terms of meat.

I’ve perfected sous vide ribeyes, beef is absolutely GOAT…but then someone said lamb and well, yeah it’s up there too.

Pork you gotta be very particular on how it’s prepared or you get dried out bullshit. Pork chops, again use a sous vide. Pork chops are amazing if you use a sous vide. Pork butt, you gotta smoke it for 12hrs, you gotta wrap it to get it to temp, and let it rest, that’s a whole project. But it literally melts in your mouth. Ribs are kinda in the same boat but less smoke time.

Chicken is when we’re too fucking tired to be doing anything else

Lamb best tasting overall but not always available

Beef because steaks, mince beef etc

Seafood because yeah. Prawns count too omega three is great

Chicken is bland on its own so can soak up seasonings and can be cheaper

But Pork. Is really the MVP because so many uses.

Gonna assume your either Jewish or Muslim. (I am Jewish) and I'll be quite frank, I am a bad Jew because I eat pork from time to time but very rarely. Lol, it tastes too good and I don't really care much for religion or traditions. Halal food is amazing though if you go to the right spot.

Aa far as what I really like... I eat it all. Lamb is very good if done right same for duck. I like chicken but I am sick of it. Always down for good seafood as well. I am a foodie.

Beef, no question.

...I can't give up steak, man.

A perfectly seared ribeye or ny strip steak is utterly divine.

And then there's ground beef for tacos, meatloaf, CFS, burgers, Salisbury...

You simply can't go wrong with beef.

I'm very surprised by how popular chicken is here. My rankings:

1) Beef. Steak is so flavorful to the point where many chefs feel you barely need to season it (or barely need to cook it). Burgers are a terrific comfort food. Jerky is my favorite snack. Food is pretty subjective but I find beef to be absolutely delicious in most any form. I like chili, meatloaf, tacos, steak nachos, you name it.

2) Seafood. It helps that I'm in an area with a lot of great seafood but few things are yummier to me than a slab of pan-fried fish filet with some heart-stoppingly creamy lemon sauce on top. Grilled shrimp are crazy good (gotta devein them though), crawfish etoufee is wild, snow crab legs are awesome. I'm not a fan of oysters and their kin since eating something whole kinda squicks me out, and cephalopods aren't my thing, but otherwise seafood is crazy good to me.

3) Pork. It's close to seafood for me but not quite as varied. But I like this sweet meat a lot still. Pork chops and ham are solid, bacon really adds a lot of flavor to any dish, and ribs are among my favorite foods.

4) Chicken. I'm a fan of fried chicken and chicken flautas, but I've simply had too much disappointing chicken in my life for this to be anything but last of the four big meats. It's infamously low on flavor, and if I had a dollar for every underseasoned chicken meal I've eaten in my life, I'd have enough money to afford...like two or three steaks.

Other meats feel like more of a novelty to me rather than a staple, but perhaps I haven't had enough of them. I've enjoyed lamb okay when I've had it in gyros and stuff, venison is fine, but I don't much care for turkey (too dry) or more gimmicky stuff like alligator.

I'm pretty close to going vegetarian in the extremely near future. Meatless products have advanced quite a bit. Very few of you could stomach eating any of these if you see how its made.

Muslim, but for this discussion it does not change a lot. In most religions being a good person is what counts the most, not the fowhat you eat, so no problems from me. It is more of how I have been raised than a personal conviction in this case. Never cared about it once I was old enough to make my own choices. As a kid I remember reading a book from Jules Verne( the mysterious Island) where a character reveals that he loves pork, but specifically the legs/ foot. I was curious back then why this would be good to eat...
Food is one of the pleasures of life! Food for you to be avare of it.

I’m a seafood person, so that’s my vote. Healthier and tastier to me. Nothing better than grilled lobster. Salmon prepared right is amazing. Crab cakes are so good. Shrimp is amazing. Scallops make every dish better. Just so much good.

But man, Bacon is a close second.
