I doubt that the new apartments will make much difference as the market is closed by dinner time.

Pike Street is enclosed but has a fun, market-y feel. Victoria's is gloomy, cold concrete. Like an underground parking facility. Doesn't draw you in.

Not sure if this is at all significant but today the market dropped the word "Hudson" from their Facebook page name.

They are a "plant-based butcher", aka vegan meat alternatives.

Oh, no way!

[sebberry]

So is it a butcher?

[dasmo]

Interesting! There was a good one in Rotterdam. The Yves stuff is pretty lame. I want my fake meat to be as close to the real thing as possible!

It's not a butcher in my experience of the term. There's no meat. But still meatless meat items can be quite tasty so I'm quite interested in what they'll be serving.

[HB]

if its meatless meat why is it called meat?

they should just call it what it is.

[Rob Randall]

Thought it was meat but not real! FAKE MEAT! Dishonest butcher. SEE YOU IN COURT.

[dasmo]

They are... It's meatless meat. They ain't selling cut carrots.

Alternative meat.

As regards to the term "butcher", yes it is common to use it in a "meat" (ie., flesh) reference, but the term can ALSO be MEATLESS.

 

One can butcher the english language, and that's not meat.

 

One can ruin a good film, and that's not meat.

 

You can butcher an opponent on the battlefield and that doesn't mean you're going to eat them.

 

It is quite common in many cities to sell refreshments, newspapers and other items on a train or in a stadium or theater, and that is also called butchering.

 

 

The list goes on and on.  Is there any need to make "the Very Good Butchers" a conversation about whether or not a person chooses not to eat an animal or its biproducts?

[dasmo]

Alternative meat.

Perfect. Alt-Meat TM
