Cow Appreciation Day - July 11th

[Benn]

Did anyone know that July 11th is cow appreciation day??? I sure didn't until USSRGirl's thread about her stuffed cow made me search for those Chik-fil-a cows. In my search I found out that in July if you go to a Chik-fil-a restaurant dressed as a cow you get a free meal!

More details can be found at http://www.chick-fil-a.com/downloads/CFA_CAD_1pgr.pdf

Guess it's sorta like if you dress like a burrito on Halloween you get a free burrito at Chipotle.

For some reason...this thread along with Temulin's reminds me of a certain conversation I once had with some individuals on this site revolving around an activity that individuals occasionally do for fun involving sleeping cows...good times...good times...

[Tsukuyomi]

Ooooooh, all this talk about cows reminds me of the cow tipping convo in chat \o.o/

[Benn]

haha... did someone on this board actually go cow tippin?

[ShiroiHikari]

I appreciate cows for tasting good and making delightful things such as ice cream possible.

RIB EYE STEAK *wants one*

[FukuokaGirl]

I appreciate cows by being vegan.

^___^

I think they're cuter alive and with soft noses and big, pretty eyes.
XD

[ChristianKitsune]

but...cows smell.. :/ my town is surrounded on all 4 sides by feedlots and dairies...

They are cute though, in a bovine way XD

[USSRGirl]

... wow. Can't believe I wasn't aware of this.

(And yes, you cow tipping hick, I know what you're referring to Peanut.)

Wow... lots of cow hatred on this board. It saddens me to see how unappreciative society is towards big, soft squishy bovine. I mean, c'mon, do you people never eat ice cream? Yoplait? Chocolate milk for cryin' out loud?

Now I gotta plan something festive... something big... something cowish.

Really? Then why are you calling me a cow tipping hick?

I guess it could be said that one man's Yoplait is another man's steak...mmm...steak....

I love cows! I grew up on a ranch and showed a steer for several years in 4H. They're just plain cute, and I especially like this time of the year, when all the calves are being born.

It's not the cow itself that smells, it's the, ah, refuse.

I equally love cow product - steak, hamburger, dairy. *sigh* Yum.

And for all you gum, gummies, jell-o, etc. lovers out there, you appreciate cows too... their bones, hooves, and connective tissues go through many complicated processes to become gelatin. ^^

[ShiroiHikari]

I didn't know they used animals to make gelatin. Learn something new everyday.

O.o

never again will I chew/eat these things without thinking that I'm eating cow feet XD.

Also, I appreciate cows every day. I think I'll appreciate one now by eating a delicious hamburger!

Some people eat pig's feet, which I think is possibly the grossest thing ever. Yet somehow the idea of gelatin does not bother me.

[Sheenar]

This is a neat website about all the different products made from beef or beef by-products.

And another one.

[soul alive]

Gelatin's definitely one of those great, 'oh, huh, so that's what that is' kind of things that you don't really mind that you're eating, lol.

Pig's feet on the other hand. *shudder*

Though, I do have to say, there are a couple of things that I just can't find it in me to appreciate - eating cow tongue and the idea of Rocky Mountain Oysters. bleh. Nothing like coming home and finding a giant tongue boiling on the stove. *such a hick*

Don't forget Menudo (lining of part of the cow's omasum served in soup form) --that's something I'll never eat --they even sell it in a can at HEB (grocery store).

And then there's the products made for dogs: Flossies, Bully Sticks, Rawhide, and even a big smoked leg bone. The leg bone I'll let Pebbles chew on --the rest, no way (especially the first two).

[soul alive]

I'll give some leeway to non-human beef-eats, as they keep the dogs entertained. (though, we do make a liver brownie for dog treats that my dad likes to eat too. bleh, bleh, bleh )

Anyway, cows.

[Peanut]

Anyway, cows.

Moo.
