Today was day one of an experiment I plan to run for at least 30 days. 30 Days of carnivore Rambazamba! Only ,meats and fish, animal fats and animal products: butter, ghee, eggs, cheese allowed. No fruits. No vegetables. No corns, no carbs. But - beer. Hey, its has been over 30°C again today... I will focus on beef, sometimes chicken and lamb (they are too lean, need plenty of fat added in any way in the carnivore regime diat), not pig, and some beef liver ( I know how to prepare it so that you can actually eat it and not vomitting...) and chicken or pig heart, the other organ meats there are, especially kidneys and brains, give me the creeps. Also incldued will be fish: salmon, mackarel, tuna.

Combined in my usual 16:8 intermittend fasting scheme. Supplements still taken, then lots of drinking, lots of salt.

NO SWEETS, holy god...

Not even chocolate once in a while?

No, not even chocolate, and not even just once in all that long while.

The execution of this experiment started lousy. I did not plan in blood works, maybe I should have done so, but even if the numbers would be nicier at the end, if I do not like the diet, I most likely wouldn't stick to it no matter the numbers: its about longterm compliance...

Today I bought meats worth 100 Euros. And I followed a tip: to consider burger patties. I did. And heck, how absolutley not I did regret that!

Because for lunch I had an Argentinian RibEye, 200 gr, 10 Euros, and one of two Irish Angus burger patties, two made 230gr for 3,50. Ghee in the cast iron pan, 2x4 minutes for the patty, 2x3 minutes for the steak. Salt, black better, and on the patty a handful of chopped ceddar and mozzarella from Kerrygold (whom i absolutely love for their fantastic butter cheese). Should all be pastured animals and cheese. I have a hawk's eyes now on this pastured fat and meadow thing.

This was easily the very best steak and burger experierne I ever had in my life! I was blown away, this was a leagues abvove what I did in steaks in the past, years ago. The meat was so juicy and tasted of butter, the fat in the steak was tasty as well, and the patty almost melted on my tongue. I never have gotten such an experience in a restaurant. I never, never had prpared of such fantastic quality, or got such quality in a restaurant. A real eye-opener. I'm fixed! Give me more!

The meat was not frozen, but packed, it did not go over the butcher's counter, but was in a cooling box in the supermarket (Marktkauf). The Rib Eye was from a company called Maredo, the patties were from a company named Rasting, no idea whether that is the Irish producer or the German importer.

I have 4 more brand samples of patties, will test them out, American, German, british, Argentinian, if I recall correctly. But the experience today was already a revelation. I must horde those RibEye steaks.

Try it with a good patty! Beats simple minced beef from over the counter by a lightyear. And is cheap.

I think I also never used ghee for the frying of a steak before, this too was a revelation (I still used peanut oil back then, but plant seed and peanut oils now all are banned since years in my kitchen).

I have not eaten this well (though simple) and have not been satisfied by the experience this much since many years!

Think I really turn into a P.E.T.A. guy.

People Eating Tasty Animals.
