Beef, chicken, or pork?

[mmntech]

Probably chicken. It's the most versatile. Good pork is getting hard to find and good beef is getting too expensive to eat on a regular basis.

 

[Mixolydian]

Chicken. Not a big beef fan, and aside from bacon or sausage, I hate pork.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Have you ever had Bison? It is quite good actually.

That said I probably eat more chicken and fish than any of your other choices.

 

[BladeVenom]

Duck.

 

[nickbits]

Fish or any seafood really.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Duck.

 

[StinkyPinky]

Beef
Chicken
Lamb
Pork

But I like all of them if cooked well. I hate duck though.

I prefer chicken most of the time because I can eat it more often without getting sick of it. I can handle pork maybe once a week or every two weeks. Beef - about every three days.

Goose... :biggrin:

Shouldn't it be Peking Duck????

 

[dank69]

Pork. Not even a contest, even if you don't count bacon since there aren't many dishes where bacon is the main course. Sausage alone blows away anything the cow or chicken have to offer.

 

[Platypus]

beef, with a very close second in pork.

 

[mikeford]

Spam, delicious Spam.

Isn't a NY strip just the larger side of a t-bone? What difference does it make if the bone is attached?

The primal involved is called a "short loin", it can be cut on a band saw into porterhouse and T-bone steaks, the first 30-40% of it yields "porterhouse" steaks then as the fillet size tapers down you get T-bone steaks. Sometimes the loin is "boned out" and the tenderloin and boneless strip primal's are created from it, the tenderloin can also be removed with the strip-loin still attached then a band saw is used to cut off the exposed bone so your then left with a bone-in strip, since most consumers prefer that the strip be boneless (it's a huge mistake IMO) the strip-loin is usually taken off the bone as well. Same thing applies to prime rib (another loin cut), it can be portioned in to bone- in steaks or the bone removed for rib-eye and Delmonico steaks, sometimes grocers will sell bone-in rib-eye's as well but as you get further up the loin a fat kernel in the middle of the loin gets very large, a trick grocers almost always seem to use is to place the price label over the fat kernel so the shopper cannot see what size it is..

Bone-in strip,

Prime rib, bone still in,

Bison is great but nothing beats beef however chicken,pork,lamb,venison,emu,kangaroo,goat and moose are all better than anything that comes from the water

 

[Rakehellion]

The OP is a gastronomic coward. The only people who think chicken, beef and, pork are the only meats worth talking about eat most of their meals at fast food holes.

Settle down there, hipster. Don't fog up your MacBook.

Chicken, then pork (pork chops, ham and bacon!!!)

You other fine, young, cannibals can have all the fatty, gristly beef you can choke on and the clogged arteries and heart attacks, too.

On a side note, it's amazing how many types of beef like lard, flavorings and extracts ends up in the foods you eat, whether you want to eat beef, or not.

I bought a few cans of Campbell's Homestyle Creole-Style chicken with red beans and rice at the store without reading the label first recently. After all, it's chicken, right? Well, not entirely. It contains delicious beef extract. I imagine a cooked cow stuck in some sort of giant funnel where they press it down from the top until all the delicious beef extracts all drip out. Like the pink slime of extracts. Yuck. Thanks but no thanks. I will either take it back, or give it to a neighbor.

I bought a Walmart cooked whole chicken once. While I was eating it, me and my spouse thought it tasted a bit off somehow, but we couldn't figure out what it was about it, and since it looked OK and was freshly made and hot, we ate it all anyway thoroughly doused in BBQ sauce to hide the odd taste. A bit later on, we both started burping profusely and had indigestion and couldn't figure out what the problem was. So I dug the package out of the trash, and buried in the ingredients was the fact the whole chicken had been INJECTED and COATED with DELICIOUS BEEF JUICES! WTF!!! (But not all of their whole chickens are prepared this way. Just a FYI and read the label first!)

I also bought some frozen, breaded Italian style chicken patties before in tomato sauce. They had the ingredients listed separately according to what it was on the package. They listed the sauce and ingredients, which I read to make sure there was no beef chunks in the sauce, but I neglected to read all the chicken patty ingredients before I bought it. Just like the whole chicken above, I prepared it with some pasta and garlic bread on the side and when we started eating it the taste was AWFUL. It tasted like spoiled chicken patties and when you scraped off the breading, it had a light greenish tint to it. I dug the package out of the trash, and they had used ground BEEF, beef flavorings, and beef broth in the chicken patties themselves 3 different ways! WTF!!!

Not to mention, I went to a local Italian place one day and ordered an Italian style breaded chicken breast, and I was starving when I got it and dug into it and ate several bites, then noticed it didn't taste quite right, and the texture was off. Well, I scrapped off the breading and found out they had served me VEAL because they were out of chicken and thought I wouldn't mind! WTF!!!

Chicken does NOT equal BEEF. And the 2 tastes are disgusting mixed together and I simply don't understand why anyone in their right mind would think otherwise when they are cooking up this slop in some test kitchen someplace.

Well how DARE OP not have organic-squirrel on the poll, it's an outrage I tell 'ya!

 

[DigDog]

I'm all for pork. Nothing beats a pile of properly rendered fat. Bacon and pork shoulder blow all that other crap out of the water.

pfft. thats if you like your meat cooked in 3 minutes. for those who can wait, beef is king.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Beef is a last resort.

Pork is downright disgusting.

Chicken, turkey, salmon, tuna all the way.

Wow, where to start, first off the "beef extract" was probably a tiny amount of beef broth, you do realize they are required to list the ingredients in order of predominance, that's why the "beef extract" was close to the bottom. I'd have to call shens on chicken patties, chicken meat is cheaper than beef and if they actually put beef in a chicken pattie then USDA law requires them to list that on the FRONT of the package, ever see hot dogs that are not all-beef? look at the package and it will be noted "this product contains beef, chicken, and pork" and the broth would be chicken broth, why would a food manufacturer want their chicken pattie taste like beef?, post the name of the maker of said pattie so that can be checked on. Lastly, if an Italian restaurant was out of chicken they would have TOLD you so before making your sandwich, veal is very expensive and if they were in fact out of chicken they would have asked "sorry sir, we're out of chicken right now but you can order a veal sandwich if you'd like". Then your comment " I imagine a cooked cow stuck in some sort of giant funnel where they press it down from the top until all the delicious beef extracts all drip out. Like the pink slime of extracts. Yuck." just pretty much confirms your lack of knowledge of how animals are processed and used in the food industry. In my experience people who are anal about food almost to a fault read every package's ingredients BEFORE they buy them, not afterwards. Then another part of your post,.."Chicken, then pork (pork chops, ham and bacon!!!)" followed by....."You other fine, young, cannibals can have all the fatty, gristly beef you can choke on and the clogged arteries and heart attacks, too.".....Hate to break this to 'ya, BACON IS LOADED WITH FAT, it's irrelevant where the fat comes from beef or bacon as far as your body's concerned.

Goat > Lamb > Pig > Cow = Bison > Octopus >Crustaceans (crab = lobster = crayfish) > Duck > Clam = Mussel > Gator > Chicken > Turkey > Deer

IMO Goat is king. Super flavorful, not very tender, but it's delicious beyond measures.

Of course Al Pastor is fvcking awesome
Prime Rib or Ribeye is fvcking awesome

Beef or pork ... voted pork just to be different.
