Beef, chicken, or pork?

[mrjminer]

Beef or chicken. I voted beef since it I like more cuts I like.

Really just depends on the day for whichever one I prefer to eat.

Duck.

Duck is awesome. I'm surprised at how many people get freaked out by it.

I'm a vegan so... my opinion is worthless? WTH, I want my vote back. I didn't see that last part.

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.

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.

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.

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".

So much crazy fail here. But considering your rambling counter points were all listed out of chronological order in a frenzied mishmash resembling someone with an attention deficit disorder who latches onto an idea and carelessly posts the first thing that pops into his head, I'm not really surprised.

I reorganized your ramble for ya, and added logical separations on your ingenious brain farts, so it's not a wall of babbling incoherent text like you had it.

And I know how most food is processed, thanks anyhow. But the fact you latched onto my sarcasm as being a lack of knowledge about it is laughable at best, and pure stupid at worst on your part.

Where you pointed out about listing all the main ingredients such as meats on the front of the package is often wrong. If you doubt me, just go look at the hot dog and sausages in the store sometime. Many meat products will advertise one type of meat on the front, like Turkey Sausage in big bold letters, then when you look on the back it will list turkey, beef, pork, your mom, and pretty much every other meat imaginable. While this may be an FDA or USDA rule, it is loosely enforced and I can go to any store and find franks and sausages still doing this.

Additionally, the Italian chicken patties brand is no longer made that way. And this was 10 years ago at least, and I complained about it, they sent me some free coupons, and shortly thereafter they reformulated it. So what does it matter now what brand it is? It don't. And that's why I didn't list it here. But if they were still doing it, you can bet I would post who it was who made it.

BTW, the restaurant wasn't serving a sandwich, where did you get that idea? It was previously frozen (you know, the cheap shit veal) and served on a plate smothered in sauce and noodles. And I also specifically asked for sauce without beef chunks, as I always request. So did they switch it on purpose for a LOL just to screw themselves out of a tip? I have no idea about that. Never the less, this just shows more epic fail on your part, because there is no way in hell you even know WTF you are talking about since you obviously weren't there, Young ADHD Einstein.

And you can believe anything you like, but I'm still right, and you're still wrong, and no amount of mindlessly spinning crazy speculative bullshit on your part when you have no clue what you're talking about will change that fact.

Then did you ever consider that the restaurant made an honest mistake and fried the wrong pattie? it does happen, I doubt they would serve a more expensive item on purpose, As far as labeling goes your absolutely incorrect, the current USDA regulations state that the kind of meat(s) that are in the product HAVE to be on the FRONT of the label, it's in small-font but it's there, manufacturers would much rather list it on the back only but the UDSA didn't like the generic "frank" description alone on the front label forcing consumers to read the miniature ingredients label on the back to see what kind of meat was used in making the product. As to the frozen chicken patties your story again makes no sense whatsoever, chicken patties made from diced parts are about as cheap as meat gets, why would a pattie maker put a more expensive product (beef) into a chicken pattie?. A whole chicken by the lb is about $1.50, tell me what kind of beef is available at that price?, none is the answer..

Blah, blah, blah, another disorganized wall of rambling text added to his previous case of reading comprehension failure because crazy can't admit he's wrong while calling out others for supposedly being wrong, according to the voices in his head.

I said before that they claimed they were out of chicken and substituted VEAL. And the preformed, textured veal patty was exactly the same price on the menu. The difference was, the chicken was normally a breast that they covered in bread crumbs and was at least 3 times larger than the dinky veal patty was.

And as for the pink slime chicken patties, I think that level of beef cheapness pretty much explains why they used a beef filler and they looked light green with the breading scraped off.

Seriously, go take your attention deficit disorder meds and get out of your mom's basement and argue with the dog outside. That's one stupid argument you might actually win for once.

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

A pork shoulder take 8 hours and braised bacon at least two. This ain't McDonald's.

 

[Rakehellion]

Beef is a last resort.

Pork is downright disgusting.

Chicken, turkey, salmon, tuna all the way.

You want to choose the "vegan" option.

 

[Rakehellion]

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.

Shut. The. Hell. Up.

No one cares that your fragile digestive system can't handle a drop of beef fat. Go chew some cud.

Don't like it, don't comment on it. I stopped eating beef to lower my cholesterol, and it worked. It didn't have anything to do with digestion. But now the smell and taste of beef just makes me nauseous.

You must be one of the delicious pink slime apologists, too.
