If it's Bella Swan from Twilight than yeah, it's normal. lol. Seriously though, i don't think wanting to eat a swan is that normal. But you can eat whatever you want.

You British as well dappled? I tend to assume that everyone I encounter on the internet is American.
In response to the question I was asked I wouldn't particularly want to eat a swan even if I was offered one already cooked.

They do take a while to cook, and tend to dry out if not cooked carefully.

Yep, I'm a Brit as well. Although the times we are posting wouldn't single us out as Brits. I think you posted at 3:30am and I'm posting this at 4:30am.

I tend to assume everyone i meet online is from Australia or New Zealand. For some reason I have met a disproportionate number of pple from there on the internets.

Actually, it seems the Americans are the minority here on Is It Normal, and its actually pretty cool, as most sites seem to be the opposite. Im an American myself, b.t.w.

Never thought of it before, I imagine it would be sour tasting for some reason.
I'd say it's just as normal to think about eating a swan as it is to think about eating any other animal people never eat. So, not at all, IMO.

I cant tell if this is a troll or not? Well I know they eat ducks and geese I believe. I suppose its a bird so its not totally out of the ordinary. So I guess so? I think it would depend on your culture. Different parts of the world eat different things. I am not going to judge for having different taste.

Maybe people somewhere do eat swan meat? Some foreign countries eat things that seem strange to us here in America. Even before I was a vegetarian, I never ate any meats besides the basic ones.

yeah, the brits fancy them -people in surrey told me if you kill the damn thing you'll go to prison cause they're royal property or something.
I say -it looks like a big ass duck, it walks like a duck -i'll eat it.

Well I guess it would be normal since we as humans eat almost about anything....

Lol I've wondered about this as well: whether it would be close to duck, goose, guinea fowl or turkey. I've tried ostrich meat which is very lean and similar to beef.

Only the brainwashed still consume other animals (of any kind). Bloodthirsty morlocks!

scram, tree-hugger. it's cool that you choose what you eat and what you don't -your right. But don't preach to other people who like their delicious bacon.

Take your own advice. If you can't stand the fact that someone has a valid opposing view, you're going to experience a great deal of anxiety in the *real* world.
Your so-called "choice" isn't that at all, and you know it. A choice would be to choose to wear the red hat, but not the blue one. It only affects you. That's a "choice." When decisions affect/result in the suffering and execution of others, that ceases to be a *mere choice,* do you understand now?
This isn't about "preaching" to other people like you, it's about fairness for other creatures - and this has nothing to do with me personally. Stop being so hypersensitive about "my rights, my rights" because the world doesn't revolve around you and you're selfish eating "habits."
I gain nothing personally out of speaking up for animals forced into suffering and death for your "use" and a minute's pleasure on your tongue so you can shit them out the next day without another thought. That's the difference in a nutshell: leaving other creatures alone isn't preaching, it's all about morality and ethics. What can you say for yourself other than you're smugly selfish and childlishly trying to justify said selfishiness?
Would you have also told Harriet Tubman that her activities to free (human) slaves was "preaching" to you as well? I suspect you would have told her that because slaves save you labour, it's your "choice" to go on using them as you "please," because after all, in her day and time, they were just considered *animals*, too.
Don't presume to preach some nonsense about "my rights my rights" and "my choices" when the lives of others are in the mix, too. You conveniently forget about them. I won't, and I'm not going to let you, either.

Hmm.. I thought I was clear enough in my previous comment. 0_o
Oh well, I'm bored enough to answer. But it's gonna be a short one, cause I already forgot half of your scroll, and I'm typing on a phone.I have absolutely no problem with other people's choices. However you DO need to read your own comment and act accordingly. I remember something about "bloodthirsty morlocks", miss. Why suddenly you become so civilized when you need to preach? Lol.
I want to eat bacon without you whining about it. You want to avoid consuming meat without me laughing at you. I think it's a deal, I don't have any problems with vegetarians as long as they mind their own business.
Wait I have a joke for you:
-"How do you know someone is a vegan? "
-"Don't worry, they'll fucking TELL ya all about it";)

I'm not "whining" about anything. I'm reminding you that your "eating bacon" comes at a very personal cost to another being who didn't want to die but was forced to give up her life so you can have a moment of selfish pleasure.
Calling it like it is doesn't constitute whining, so please, do remember that bit of counseling about defensiveness!

oh, gimme a break -you're that scribbled me a scroll after i commented on your little outburst there. And you tell me about defensiveness? :)
You don't need to remind me anything, I worked on a farm for a long time. We're carnivores and we kill for food. Some of us are..well.. have their own weird ideas, but that's ok.
It's a cycle -if there was someone higher than us in the food chain, and that being, whatever it is would hunt and cultivate us for food then that would be the natural way of things. But there isn't. So, that's all I need to know.
