Carnivore Connoisseur: Discover the Science, Ethics and Culture Behind the Carnivorous Diet Beyond Steak

Welcome to the jungle If you are here, it is because you have heard the call of the flesh, the fat, and the fire. And no, we're not talking about one more diet to fill your Instagram feed with photos of wilted salads or bland smoothies. We're talking about something deeper, more visceral. We're talking about paying tribute to the meat gods, exploring the art and science of the carnivorous diet, and diving into a lifestyle that goes beyond steak. Whether you're a meat lover, a gourmet looking for bold flavors, or just curious to understand what the hell this diet is, you've come to the right place.
This book is your guide, your map, and your instruction manual for an epic culinary journey. Let's explore the science, ethics, and culture behind the carnivorous diet, but don't expect a boring lecture. Here we are going to tell you things as they are, without added sugar (because sugar is poison, remember?). Let's talk about how this diet can transform your health, how you can enjoy food like never before, and how you can navigate a world full of myths and misunderstandings about meat consumption.
Good food, good eating, is a matter of blood, viscera, and decomposition. It's the sodium curdled pork fat, the stinky triple cream cheeses, the tender gizzards, and the distended livers of young animals. Eating meat is risking the dark, bacterial forces of beef, chicken, cheese, or seafood. The first two hundred and seven Wellfleet clams may put you into a state of ecstasy, but the two hundred and eight may send you to bed with sweats, chills, and vomiting. But, oh, the glory in that risk! Gastronomy is the science of pain, and carnivores are its most devoted followers.
Being a carnivorous connoisseur isn't just about eating meat. It's understanding the meat. It's knowing where it comes from, how it's cooked, what flavors it can offer, and how it can transform your health. It's knowing the science behind the diet, but it's also appreciating the ethics and sustainability of eating meat. And it's about enjoying the culture surrounding meat, from great Argentine roasts to perfectly cooked New York steaks.
Professional chefs are a special breed. We are like the members of a secret society, with ancient rituals of stoicism in the face of humiliation, injury, weariness, and the threats of disease. We work in poorly aerated and scorching kitchens, like the crew of a submarine. We are superstitious, despise intruders, and are loyal only to our flag. But most of all, we love good food. And there's nothing closer to a chef's soul than meat. Whether it's a perfectly seasoned steak or a soul-warming stew of meat, meat is the food of the gods and the engine that drives chefs.
This book is not just for devoted carnivores. It is for anyone who wants to better understand the carnivorous diet, whether to adopt it, criticize it or simply get to know it. Let's talk about the science of diet, the health benefits, and how to incorporate this diet into your life. We're also going to talk about the ethics of meat consumption, how to make sure we're consuming meat responsibly and sustainably. And finally, we are going to talk about the culture of meat, how it is enjoyed, how it is cooked and how it is celebrated.
