How do you review beef?

Every time I buy a new beef, I read reviews of it on BeefAdvocate. Here's one review of a beef I'm eating tonight:

Appearance - decent bright blood red color, a brief indentation disappears quick but manages to leave a few swaths of lace on the glass. Does it have to be alternator sized?

Aroma - a touch of grain sweetness, meaty too. Fresh and as it should smell.

Taste - Probably don't want to taste it until it's cooked.

Mouthfeel - chewy-ness is the most notable thing here. The meat is sweetly smooth without being too heavy. 3.5

Edibility- a nicely done steak. Ought to hold its own with or without steak sauce and should taste just as good if there are sea salt seasoning.


My question is, I don't understand how they're able to analyze the beef this way. I taste it and the only thing that really comes to my mind is...it's good or it's bad. How do I develop my tastes so that I can review beef this way?

As with most things, I put in in my mouth and if what happens next is good then I like it, if not I don't :sneaky:

Technically, I don't think it's beef until it's dead... :hmm:

Okay, so I review beef after I slaughter it.

Cool fact, when you slaughter and butcher beef in the UP, you can get 5+ Bald Eagles in the pasture afterwards. It's beautiful sight.

Ahhh, Righto!

It's quite beautiful up here, you should visit sometime. So much lake, some hills on the western side, and natural American wildlife wherever you look. The UP is one of the few untouched areas in America. We even have Sylvania Virgin Forest So you can see what wilderness looks like without any human intervention.

Not going to lie, exploring Sylvania was an eye-opener in my life, and I learned how to appreciate both the natural world and human kind when I walked it. The people up here are nice, even if you are a black, gay midget, you will find kindness up here. It's quite nice and has shaped my beliefs on the world and America.

This is a parody thread, I made a humorous joke, and something I wanted to say in the beer thread, is that I'm not gay, I've never said that I'm gay, you got that wrong.

Right/wrong, again, who gives a fuck. You just can't leave well enough alone.

Protip: If you dislike something, ignore it, it will eventually cease to matter to you.

Protip: If you seem to "hate" something and continue to pursue it, what you hate has a large portion of yourself in it, and you need to reflect on that before you attack that what you "hate."

I think he just hates his own penis, and so hates people who like others. This is just a guess of course.

I actually missed the fact that this was a parody thread.

Regardless of what kind of thread it is HAL managed to get the attention he so desires.

Stay classy and keep on trollin....

I'm done...
