Red Meat . . . .

[Flanderian]

Remember when: Should any have missed it, a great photo in a great ad -

Indeed it is a classic ad. I'm a big fan of American made gunboats, especially shells. I have several pairs of Florsheim 93605's and they're well made on a nicely shaped gunboat last.

While USA made Florsheim are still fairly common if one is willing to search on Ebay my absolute favorites are Nettletons,...

Great topic Flanderian.

Guess who made these!?

I was tricked! I thought this thread about meat, I guess that would go into the Food Drink And Travel one.

I do go for red meat, though will not go for horse, because of my love of horses.

Nice looking shoes though a bit busy for my tastes.

Hoping not to come off sounding 'tasteless,' I too "go for red meat," but my culinary and sartorial experiences include critters of the equine persuasion. Growing up in the country, I also love most animals and have owned and raised chickens, rabbits, dogs, horses, a calf and a pig, etc, through various phases of my life!

Good old Oxblood. What a perfect and versatile shade!

Plain toe derbys/bluchers could be more basic.
Cap toes could be more basic.

And I understand that one's tastes are subjective.
But for wingtips these may be about as basic, and classic, as can be found.

Don't make me wait any longer Flanderian. I give up, who made these?

Equine!?!?

Straight out of Tokyo!

These long wings were credited as being made by JOE Works Shoemakers. While Japanese shoemakers are better known for their super svelte oxfords, the Japanese also have a long standing love of Ivy. (After all, they own both J Press and Paul Stuart.) And when they want to, they can do it very well. I have no beef with a really, really well made pair of gunboats, Tokyo origins not withstanding.

I've been involved in the shooting sports since I was a small boy,.....

And I'm sure it's a cultural thing, but when you mention horse roast I can't help but to think of Mister Ed!

Nothing at all wrong with horse meat. It's quite tasty. In France, we had filet chevalin, which is basically horse meat cold cuts that were served on a baguette.

I don't doubt you, but I hope never to find out. Cultural conditioning, and all.

LOL. France is where I experienced horse meat, but if you find yourself travelling to South Korea, one can add dog and cat to their list of gastronomical experiences...all in the interest of cultural expansion of course.

I must say, moments after eating it there was some serious soul searching. I made amends, hoping for a second helping.

I don't want to know what dog or cat meat tastes like.

Poor Mister Ed!

If I were to open a restaurant, it’d serve horse. The main horse dish would be called Seabiscuits’n’gravy.
