If you gave up one meat, which would it be?

This is for all the people who are not vegetarians. If someone were to tell you, you could no longer eat any meat from one animal, which would it be? I would choose a cow, because I can do fine without hamburger, steak, or anything else made from the cow. Other choices are fish, pigs, lamb, chickens, and I'm sure people from different countries could add some more to that. Just be careful. Mentioning you could give up eating a dog won't go over well in this forum, although that's just a guess. And I imagine I'm going to hear a couple squirrel answers too. : ) Never have tried that.
So as a meat eater, which meat (all types of meat from that particular animal) would you give up?

Fish. No question. I can't stand the taste of fish or seafood. I gag at the smell of tuna in my cat's food! I don't eat anything that lives in water.
I know it is good for me, but I just can't get it down. I've tried several times. One time I went on the diet where you had to eat fish twice a week. I bought two fish fillet and fixed one for myself. I ate two bites and got sick. The cat got it and loved it.
So the next day I cooked the second one to put away for the cat to have later. The smell made me sick all over again. I lost about five pounds that week simply because of the fish! Maybe I should just cook it and feed it to the cat in order to lose weight!

Alright, I will give up duck. I am not fond of it anyway. Who wants to eat a sweet little duck who goes quack, quack? Not me!

I think I'd give up chicken..I have a really hard time eating it no matter how it is cooked. As it is I only go for boneless skinless tenderloins anyways.

any red meat. I would be fine with giving that up. I love chicken though and would not give that up. And I love fish too.

I would definitely give up PORK. Because PORK is not good for health. Pigs raised commercially are prone to bacteria and viruses that can be transferred to humans. There are organisms that dont die even after cooking.

I would give up rabbit's meat. I only had this once without my knowledge. It tasted so good and when I commented that it was good chicken, my friends were laughing at me. They pointed on their ears and I was like...NO! And they say in unison, YES. I felt so bad, especially they told me that before you kill the rabbit (farm raised) they actually shed tears. I don't know if they were just kidding with me, but I swear I will never have rabbit's meat again.

This is easy. I have already give up lamb, squirrel, venison and buffalo! I could do without beef if I had to. I do like my bacon and ham, tho.

Ideally, it would be beef.. but then again, there go those all convenient fast food burgers (especially the whopper/whopper Jr.).. so I'd have to say lamb.. which is an easy way out, as I've only ate it once and didn't care for it! The up side is, I often fore-go the meat in a meal already..

Any red meat. Not so into eating red meat. I have high cholestrol level.. the higher possibility of developing hypertension. So,i just avoid that. By the way, i prefer chicken better... so i will give up on any red meat..

i think i would give up fish totally. not the best tasting thing. I doubt that i could really give up hambergur or steak. I love my red meat so that would be hard. But i hardly ever eat fish so i could give that up. But even if we had to give it up i think after doing so we would want to have it back due to the fact that most people out there want what they can't have.

I don't eat much meat, but I would pick fish. I HATE all kinds of seafood! I already don't eat lamb (I just can't deal with that!), so I could give that up forever, too! I would pick pork, except that I love bacon and pepperoni. I also don't eat much beef, but every now and then I crave it! If I had to give up one that I DO eat, I would probably pick chicken. It's the one I eat the most, but I don't think I would miss it all that much.
