Though I don't dislike red meat (I love bison), I don't crave for red meat. I tend to try occasionally red meat dishes out of curiosity for certain types of cuisines.

This thread made me ponder about the long multi-day loaded bike trips that we've done. Suffice to say, that to plunk down just a large, green salad in front me for supper, is insufficient for me.

A peameal bacon on a Kaiser bun with lots of grainy/hot mustard, sauerkraut ..yummmm.

Or a nice slab of sockeye salmon.

What can be awful (to me), is limited restaurant choices out of town, after a long day's ride, showering and then having supper close by because we're too tired to bike around an unfamiliar town far to figure out what else exists.. Eating greasy, barbecued chicken wings or deep-fried squid is not my idea of a satisfying meat entree.
