It takes the Christmas roast?

"Finally, the dead animal gets the respect it deserves."
Daniel Böniger, Flexitarier.

The Christmas roast, it has not been easy. What is probably also due to the fact that, in spite of cooking shows on all channels and recipes in every gossip book hardly anyone knows, how long you need to cook a piece of beef shoulder. Which in turn has to do with that in this country the average number of persons per household is just not at 2.23 persons – it is not worth simply, a two-kilogram piece of meat schedule in the weekly menu plan, with the playing of eight hungry mouths stuffed. But on Christmas eve, Christmas and on St Stephen's day? A Fry is perfect when Grandfather and parents, brother and sister, aunt and friend gather at the table.

To invalidate it, an Argument against the Roast, the sausages just the trailer of fast fillet-frying, add and spontaneous-Grillierens again and again lead: connect the "grosse pièce" out of the oven with an enormous expenditure of time. What is nonsense, because most of the time two, three hours, the pork neck with vegetables, white wine, and water will boil in the tube, he is left to fend for themselves. The ichtslos so.

Also, I am opposed to industrial meat.

Honestly, there is such a Fry to do even less to make than all the ten Sösseli yourself, to make up for the Oh-so-popular Fondue chinoise. And the mix at the end of the plate to an undefined dip. Celebration is so what? Eaten with garlic bread and Chips, at best oven fries. How sad these supplements are however! Oh, how much the noble is a juicy Lammgigot, which has lain for six hours in the oven, mind you, at a temperature less hot than the Finnish Sauna!

I hear the vegitarier group: dead animal! Of course, it is important to take the legitimate concerns seriously, given all of the saddest way reared Säuli and Kälbli. I, too, am opposed to industrial meat. If you celebrated, but a piece of meat really going, nearly as in the past, ritually hunting sacrifices? In a family community with buttrigem mashed potatoes and lovely star carved carrots? Then the dead animal will get the respect it deserves. Mind you, you should make in the run-up to the Festival already on the search for a Fry, it has had to life, and according to the taste and the juiciness was able to build.

I turn now to the proverbial Spiess simply: do you Know the saddest dish ever? It is the customary one-person-Ego-Fondue that you can buy in Migros and in the microwave can prepare. It is often enjoyed alone and lonely in front of the TV. And with a bottle of the cheapest white wine rinsed from Chile maybe, down. One may confidently claim: A Christmas roast, as long as it's him at the butcher's still out there, is exactly the opposite of that!

"The chunks of flesh exudes something Objectionable and Reactionary."
Nina Kobelt, a vegetarian exceptions.

Seriously? What year is it – 1958? And the Härdöpfelstockseeli there are also? Fry, that sounds like a house wife with apron and neater hairstyle. And to Grandmothers. To women who stand for many hours in the kitchen. But more on that later.

The main argument against a Christmas roast is of course the poor animal that was slaughtered for it. On the Feast of love! Respectively, on the verge of, during the romantic Advent season or in the autumn, as we had enjoyed on the trail edge of the Oh-so-firmly on the funny animals. And now this: a beautifully laid table, fragrant pine branches, homemade table decoration, the niece glitters with the Ave-bell on the napkin ring to the bet. In the middle of it: a dead animal. A brown, thick Something that floats between a sad vegetable, and fat eyes. Oh, how lovely! This is ironic to understand, and Yes, it must be stressed, because experience remains in accordance with the theme of "eat meat or not," the Humor is on the track. Especially on a page, Yes, listen, I argue, the meat group: The animal had a good life! It comes from a beautiful farm in the Region! And ate real Grass!

There are, then, at the end, but always the women who stand at the stove.

And so now, in the Grass bitten. Stunned and slashed at the Samichlaustag with a blow to the head brought down, shot. In fact, it would be something else, when someone from the Christmas round table would have killed the animal itself. On the hunt. Specially for this is a food , because at the Feast something Special on the table. Meat, for example, you can't afford otherwise. But with such thoughts we dig around again in the last century, in which there was no pre-packaged to buy cheap chips for all days.

We write the year 2018. And in these nerve, admittedly sometimes ends #MeToo times a Roast gets to an almost scandalous Aura that moves strongly in the direction of anti-feminist Statement. Now apart from the fact that there are a couple of ugly figures of speech that involve a Roast and pregnant women, it emits these lumps of meat a little Reactionary. Because even though retro food – "food is like at mom's," and the like – in a Trend and in spite of the fact that a Roast in its manufacture is simple: It is in the end always the women who stand at the stove. Or do you know a husband, brother, brother-in-law or grandfather, who prepared the Christmas roast, hours before the actual feast? Him again and again visited in the oven, loving looks, and maybe a little liquid over the meat, and while he retains the rice and the potato gratin in the eye? And parallel Urgent, such as vegetables, steaming, vacuuming, setting the table, the tree and the whole house decorating turn to? I don't.

But maybe I am the men present in the wrong. Maybe you are just about to bake cupcakes.
