Growing your own lunch...seems quite a good idea. Most people would take that to mean having your own kitchen garden and growing some greeny stuff . But what if it means growing your meat? Well...that's the idea chef Gordon Ramsay has about his family's christmas lunch. He was growing turkeys in his backyard, fattening them up and giving them space for 'exercises' in their coop...all for the lunch. He has made his family pitch in too....his li'l kids, aged somewhere below 8 yrs all are a big part of it. They get to pick the turkeys from the farm, name them after famous chefs (there is a Nigella and a Gary!!). They even squeal in pleasure when Papa says "This is Antony and we are going to roast him after 8 weeks" !!
I'm not sure that's quite a great idea...teaching your kids the idea that...well whatever it is...something like- its ok to be butchering. Well i may not be putting it across well. What I mean is, if I were to be in their place, and there was a turkey I was caring for 8 weeks time, I dont think I'll be feeling comfortable seeing it browning on the grill. So may be if you are telling them its alright to do that and you dont have to feel clammy about it,you're kind of making them insensitive....or un-feeling....or whatever is the word. The bottom line is I wont feel confortable growing such a luch with my kids.
Supposedly Gordon's take on this is...he wants his kids to know that their christmas lunch doesn't come from the supermarket. He wants to show them how it actually happens. I dont know...may be you could just buy a turkey and kill it at home and show them that instead, instead of fattening it up and making lunch out of it. Well the line is a thin one...but I know which side I'm on.
