Any of you lot remember going to the abatoir on school tours? Baaad place to be , if you were a sheep!
:)
Did the abbatoir tour at school and again when I satred again as an apprentice ... then when I worked in Town electtrical .. I had to go there ... and work one thing going on the tour .. the true horror is hidden from our innocent eyes .. another thing going there to work ... the smell of fear .. the blood the gore .. I was sick to my core .. refused to work there again ... ended up going off meat for a good many . years
Heck Sandy, you've made me lus for a braai now.... ;)
I tell people that we were taken to the abbatoir on a school trip and they are all shocked - I think it has mentally scarred me for life. I remember going and at the end of the trip we were offered pink vienna sausages to eat... I still can't eat them now - they were in a big plastic bucket and still warm!! EEUUUGGGHHH
Thats the best time to eat Viennas, when they are fresh and straight out the cooker.....
Yes Michael.
But worse of all Barbara. The sausages are made of DEAD PIGS. eeehhh!
laughpoint
Why - it's obvious the pig should be dead before they make the sausage of vienna. I would really be upset if I bought sausage or a vienna and the cow or pig or antelope or chicken or whatever it's made of, was still alive inside!
:emot19:
Ja, I agree with Dalene, it would ruin the music if it was still alive, all the squeeling while you're trying to bite it.... just way too noisy for me......
So your favourite vienna then - silent pink vienna!
Just imagine that squeeling sound when you bite in a sausage...
:emot19:
:bagno1: I remember a school visit to the abbatoir and remember no amount of washing and bathing for a couple of days got rid of that terrible stench that seemed to have seeped into my hair and clothes. I still am unable to eat polony today.
I remember it was Claire & Rebecca Sanderson's father that was in charge of the abbatoir during my visit.... Yikes, cannot say its a job that I would jump to have ... hehehehe
That would be Mike Sanderson

:emot19:
Had a flash there of Pink Floyds The Wall
but it wasn't pigs it was children
Yep. Butb I think in the live show they had inflated animal including pigs flying about near the end.
Gosh....i cant ever remember visiting the abbatior..............i wouldnt have gone and dont think my mum would have let them take me lol. she used to warn me never to go over to that side of town ...........................
....ive always had this real big hatred of the places......and i have dreamt so many times that i have been in an abbatior where all the animals are terrifeld and trying to get out..........bleating and mooing ....and im in the middle of it all and trying to get them all out ...its a real nightmare.....think it could be my guilt from eating meat........I used to think anyone who wanted to go inside one of those places was sick.....i thought anyone who could kill an animal...was sick...evil.....not normal..........HOWEVER...lol....now im grown up....well older....i just dont think about it and can take a more adult view on it all......but i still cant understand how anyone would ever ever want to be a butcher.......sorry to all of those who are..........
Aunty Bev..... I'm just about to braai a mooing Fillet steak on the fire.....
bighug
mmmm give us a bit.....lol.....thats my problem...i do like meat....just dunt like where it comes from......... notfair
Well, I never killed this cow myself..... I just know it is from Namibia, clear open veld, clean air, sky and no enhancers to the meat..... Martin Niemand reckons I must just use olive oil, salt and pepper..... 4 to 5 minutes... the best steak in the world.... and not to mention the beer....
yes i must admit i have never tasted braai as good here in britian....we dont know what shite were eating half the time they fill the animals with drugs keep them in disgusting conditons......we get unfit meat found being sold by unscrupelous (cant say it never mind bloody spell it lol) butchers......

Hey, is Martin still in town? We emailed each other a few times after my last trip to Oranjemund, but have since lost touch.
Yep! Yep! Martin is still here, I know for a fact that he is also one of the Lurkers in here..... I overcooked my steak last night, Damn Drinking and Braaing sometime don't mix..........
Please tell him I say hi. As for the braaibraai, hope you paid you braai license ... :emot19:
Gee.... I was lucky enough to pay mine on the 1st of April before 12.00 ....hehehehe! I will tell Martin....
Hello Michael
I did not go on any school tour to the Abattoir's I was to old at the time.
We were going on holiday down to Cape Town the slaughter man at the abattoir used to hire out his car, forgot his name. (anyone remember him 70-71)
Had to go out to the killing fields feedme to see him and and make the hire arrangements it was a Pontiac big yank tank.
After we had done the deal he took me on a tour of the place, and at the end of the tour I was given this bunch of pink fingers.
While reading through these posts I relies they were Vienna sausages because at the time I "puked" all the way home.
Albeit not Oranjemund, I remember being in Sub B or Std 1 and going to the Kuruman abattoir. It didn't change my outlook on meat but definitley not an outing for junior school...!!!
OOOOOOhhhh
I like my meat only just sealed, stealing the end pieces of the worse before the braai mmmmmmmmm very lekker
I recall a time at town electric somebody left and he brought "Row-Huck bretions" half the guys took the meat of and cooked it before eating mmmmmmmm I like them also but with real silver side, lots of onions and black pepper.
Alfie, if I remember, you'll eat anything................!!!!!!!!!1
Spot On
@Sandy, my sentiments the same. Also worke in Town Electrical beginning of appieship and had to work at the Abbatoir. Erwin Lissrer and myself spent many hours working there and replacing all the fluorescent fittings in the slaughter house. I was also put off meat for many years. Today I am very fussy of what meat I will eat and my wife does not understand it LOL
I spent some time in the abattoir first as a Appie elect then refrigeration didn't mind the meat but the smell of burning hair when the blow torched the pig trotters etc mmmmmmmmm not nice used to get quite nauseous
The biltong in the room outside mmmmmm had to keep a close eye on those fans get my drift, nudge - nudge wink - wink
Is that where it all went. I often wondered about your big pockets Alfie.............
