If you could only eat one farm animal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
The choices are either pig, cow or chicken. You choice includes all byproducts from said animal, so if you chose pig, you get all that delicious bacon, but in addition to forgoing steak and wings, you're giving up eggs, butter and cheese.

I'd rather ponder the origins of the universe. Hobson's choice Joe. No fair!
Asking this on a Tuesday (wing night) makes it hard for me to choose against chicken...
BWs wing night no more in Greenville (home of the ECU Pirates). It became gang battleground and now can't stay open past 10 for remainder of the year. Bad apples ruining the bunch.
Meat only? Pig. All-inclusive? Cow. Butter, cheese, milk, plus iron-rich steak/burgers...
There's no pig cheese YET. I do love cheese but can live without milk, but I'd still lean towards the swine.
Chicken everyday, baked or fried.
Such a cruel question at this time of the evening. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight, pondering the merits of each delicacy .
Clyde Torkle cannot be wrong, chicken is the the only way to go. Anything that is pork or cow based, you can get pretty dang close to approximating with chicken (yes, even bacon). Plus the eggs put it so far number one I don't know if there's ever been a number one that is as far number one as this number one...
What part of the chicken will approximate a tomahawk ribeye?
I don't want to eat anything from a chicken that resembles ice cream.
No steak vs no bacon vs no buffalo wings
I guess I'd go with buffalo wings...

The byproducts clause tilts this heavily to cattle, otherwise, it would be a very narrow cattle victory thanks to veal.
Cow, easy for me. I am definitely 100% Team Cow.
I'll still vote for Giant Douche.
Turd Sandwich for life!
Cow. Not only do I get to still eat hamburgers and steak, I also get to keep rocking cheese and creme sauces (which are a stupidly large percentage of my diet).
Cow, while pork is great, cow just offers so many options then include dairy and it's just over the top.
cow hands down

Now, be honest- how many of you pee in the shower?
It's like one long continuous flush.
I pee in the shower and I also urinated in my dorm room sink in Pritchard(when it was all man) #teamcow
In Vawter, at the stroke of midnight, all dorm room sinks became urinals like some terrible bootleg version of Cinderella.
Since when is a drain a toilet??
It's from Seinfeld.

Since it starting facilitating the disappearance of pee.
Was at a loluva/Hokie game in early '80s. Back then at uva, they had few toilets in their decrepit stadium. Went to pee during the game and people were peeing in the sinks and also in this 55 gal. trash drum. The drum had holes all 'round about six inches off the floor. It literally cracked me up to watch these suit wearing high rollers, drunk as monkeys, peeing in the drum and having it flow, liberally, out of the holes and all over their nicely shined expensive footwear. They were oblivious, I can still see it now. Told my buddies about it and they all went down to see it for the laugh. Don't recall who won that day, but I've never seen Hokies that stupid. That drunk? Yeah, but not quite that stupid.
ew, just ew.
I think the rule is: If George is okay with it, you probably shouldn't do it
It's a waste of water if you're not peeing in the shower.
(I also peed in my Pritchard sink)
There are people that don't pee in the shower?
No Turkey? Unacceptable.
Man, this would've been an easy chicken pick for me...
But the by product bit made me choose cow.
#teamcow
I'd miss my dear friend Mr. Bacon (after all it is the main reason I'm not a vegetarian), but I can't possibly give up my beloved cheeseburgers and steak. Plus how would I eat my cereal if no milk. And don't talk to me about some nasty a$$ almond or soy milk crap. So most definitely I'd be eating cow for the rest of my life!
Turkey. Since I'm only a guest here I thought I'd step out of bounds.
No don...uhh...I mean...GREAT!...you buckeyes havent been fun to have around or anything...*sniff*...
Turkey's aren't on the farm.....
They are wild motherfuckers
Uhhh... As someone who has worked in the poultry industry for the past 14 years, I have to say...Really??
chicken. as much as I love all that comes from cow and homer's magical beast of pig I would never tire of eating chicken in all its varieties and eggs send it over the top. poached, scrambled, fried, omelette, hash, etc I am #teambreakfast
What good is an omelet with no ham or bacon in it though?
Yeah, I actually thought this in my deliberation.
My first reposte' in this fight between the voices in my head was, "Well, I'll just make a steak and egg omelet".
Second voice - smirk
Oh.
No egg. No breakfast. I can make do with chicken as filling.
Chicken filled omelet?
I just have a problem with eating chicken and chicken eggs at the same time. Just seems indecent.
Drop a little fried chicken on it...yum.
I agree, and won't do it either. Love egg fu young, but won't eat chicken egg fu young. Indecent, indeed.
Oh, and for the record. I'd go pork. Ham, pork chops, hot dogs, barbeque, bacon, pork roast, fatback for my pintos... yeah, I'm good.
After reading the response's of others, I have came to one conclusion. The original poster is a sick fuck. I don't know who this rando is but I can't have omelettes with bacon,steak & cheese?!?
What kind of sicko creates such a topic?
Since deer and thus venison, possibly live on the property of a farm, I'm gonna have to go with Bambi all damn day.
#teamvenison
D. ALL OF THE ABOVE.
I mostly eat turkey bacon, so pig is the easy one for me to eliminate. The byproducts part is what makes it hard, but you can get around either one, getting eggs from other birds and dairy from any mammal. Going to have to go Chicken though, I think it would be easier to get used goat based dairy than ostrich eggs.
dairy from any mammal
I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
No cow = no milk = no butter = no pie crust = no pie
If you are on Team Pie then the decision is obvious
I've made homemade tortillas with bacon fat, I'm sure I could knock out a pie crust as well.
very good point...gotta go cow!
Cow AINEC
Milk Products
Burgers & Dogs
Steak
Tacos
Cow, easily.
Because burgers, steak, and dairy. Also brisket. And beef bacon is pretty decent.
I don't want to live in this hell of which you query.
Two main ingredient fromm tacos make cow the obvious choice....
I had no idea that tortillas and salsa were from bovine.
Here's my take on it all (for what little it's worth)
To everyone arguing about the by-products the question was:
It doesn't say "Survive off of" so no by-products (milk, cheese, eggs, etc...)
That being said if it is only one animal I would have to say cow, because it's bigger and would last longer, therefore give me a better chance to live longer. However, if the intent is one type of farm animal, I'd probably have to lean towards pig simply because of the variety of products that a pig can provide.
All that being said I'm damn glad I will never have to make that choice.
All that being said, I can't wait to sink my teeth into one of these on Monday night...
Giving up cow means I would never again experience the joy of a great steakhouse, burger joint, or pizza restaurant. It would also make my grill about 80% less wonderful. I would cringe while erasing the words "pulled" and "pork" from my vocabulary. TEAMCOW.
Pig. No question in my mind. Pulled pork (#TEAMVINEGARSAUCE), ribs (beef ribs are a pale imitation), sausage (OH, all the different kinds of delicious sausages!), bacon, crackling, hog trotters, smoked ham, CANADIAN bacon, pork loin, pork belly... The pig is without question the most delicious animal in the world. Eggs and cheese will be hard to leave behind, mostly because I need them to make a delicious Cuban sandwich with ham and roasted pork....
Definitely pig for all these reasons and more, plus:
You can get milk and all kinds of cheeses from goats/sheep/buffalo.
You can get eggs from quails/ducks.
You can get steaks, burgers etc. from buffalo/bison/venison.
That's cheating, you get ONE main animal. Otherwise I could just say wild hog instead of pig. You can have no version of cow.
Sorry Fireman - i went by the OP's statement of choose one: cow/pig/chicken......
and i did pick ONE main animal: Pig (maroon)....those other things are just accent foods (orange).
Besides, it's only cheating if you get caught......
I dunno, I like where topher is heading with this. Joe said "one farm animal." He did not specify how many non-farm animals. But then again, I'm the kinda guy who always tries to have his pie and eat it, too.
Thanks bro...and it is a slippery question - he said only one farm animal, then gave us three choices to choose from....I assumed anything that wasn't cow/pig/chicken was outside the boundaries, and therefore fair game (game- see what I did there?). I was just trying to think outside the box......
Cow.
What were we born in a barn, man?
No but apparently some of us live in one
HOAT...Now I'm thinking about how much less fun life would be without jello shots and thinking about where jello comes from...
You can get by with agar, derived from seaweed and has a much higher melting point but you lose some clarity and it makes a much firmer shot. I was thinking about using it for Monday but it looks like the temp won't get out of hand so I'll stick with gelatin for Arnie Palmer & Old Fashioned shooters.
Pig. No doubt. Most variety...Cow would be my second choice, probably. But definitely Pig
If you don't think there's not enough variety in cow, you're not doing it right
Initially thought pig, but upon further review and having had beef bacon in Abu Dhabi, I choose cow.
Cow. As long as there is still beer in this cruel fantasy world.
Cow. You can still have "BBQ" with brisket, you get steak of all cuts, and you get milk which then gives you cheese, butter, yogurt, and ice cream. And without butter, you can't make a pie crust and I'm pretty sure Paula Dean has found a way to use butter as a substitute for eggs in cake if that's your liking.
I was a vegetarian growing up - i'd probably just revert back to that.
As a descendant of cattle farmers on both sides of my family, I say cow. As a beard, I say cow.
heh...My gf does that a lot to me
*Sob* who am i kidding?
There's nothing better than a juicy steak. Plus you get hamburger, brisket, and beef ribs. Not to mention dairy products!
Give me the cow!
Honestly, it's really only two options: cow or chicken. While cow might have more flavor overall, eating red meat all the time will mess with your digestive system a lot. From a health standpoint, chicken is an easy choice.
Health, shmealth, if I can only eat one form of meet the rest of my life, I don't want to last long anyway!
I would just eat Carolina style barbecue for the rest of my life
Cow because of the byproducts. Also a good steak is probably one of the most simple and delicious meals on earth. I will really miss buffalo wings though.
cow. beef is so versatile
Pork fat rules.
The cheese thing makes it close, but sausage gravy pulls out the win.
Cheese tips the scales for cow. Despite how French feels, this guy can't live without cheese. If the decision were purely based on meat, swine would take the crown hands down. That byproduct thing though...
Nobody has made cheese from a pig. Hence, pig wins.

Damn it.... chickens can't produce cheese can there? I really don't want to be #TeamTofu
Pig. The versatility alone
Don't put this on me man! Don't put this on me!!!!!!

Has to be pig because without it I can't make
