I have a suggestion. Take it as you will, of course. Rather than letting the meat go to waste, I think it would be more productive to dry it and store it that way. It will keep longer, instead of forcing yourself away from the cooling containers.

It's a natural and old method of meat preservation that consists of gradual dehydration.

And one we use a lot in Gondor, and around the other realms, as the idea of freezing anything is unheard of.

	It seems such a waste, my lord. Why eat things with voices? I have never understood it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They are there for consumption, my lady. When they overrun the wilds we have every right to hunt them. Most animals are a nuisance to the fields. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Animals a nuisance! Not so. They likely think men are a nuisance for claiming their fields and homes as their own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Likely so, and yet as top predators we strike first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why can you not simply exist beside them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-05-23 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Because we need to eat them to survive. The nature of the elves allows you to subsist on naught but vegetables and light dairy, but Men require more substance to fill our bellies and keep us hale. You need not agree with it, like it or think it right my lady, but that is how we survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I believe men could live in that way too, if they wished, my lord. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know much of Men, my lady? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My granddaughter's husband is one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-05-23 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	I see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	So, yes. I am aware. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-05-23 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Humans are omnivores, madam, we eat both plants and meat and have done so for many centuries. While we could survive on merely plants it is better for our health to have some amount of meat in our diet as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know that Men like meat; my granddaughter's husband is quite fond of it. But whether it is necessary for your health; I am not certain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It depends on what's being done. Meat provides a great deal of 'fuel' in a concentrated form. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, but my lord husband fought the Morgoth with naught but vegetables in his stomach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are not human, my lady. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	Is it the souls of animals that give you strength, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-05-23 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Animals have no souls, my lady. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaire 2013-05-23 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed they do! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	brotherofdemons 2013-05-23 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps this is simply another difference between humans and elves? I find it hard to believe a human army could fight at full strength on vegetables alone. (Reply to this) (Parent)
