Didn't the mythbusters use this for rocket fuel? With that much you could probably make it to Mars.

Take it to a butcher and pay him to cut it paper thin for you. You may be able to wrap some of it and freeze it. Check first. I have a butcher in WA state that makes it. He makes German Shinken, it is one step below sex.

nope, can't freeze it. freezing causes the texture to change and alters the taste.

Lots of red wine - preferably shiraz, fresh arugula, basil, olive oil and feast like a beast.

err, you know it's pork right?

Who cares? It's bigger than a breadbox, and an alternator!

except it's not beef!

What you seem not to know, is that it is as least as sublime as the best beef you've ever tasted, and arugably more so.

err, I know Prosciutto di Parma. Don't really care for it, but hey, taste is personal. I am more partial to Spanish variety (Jamón serrano, Iberico is too expensive).

I was just objecting to the fact that you are referring to it as bulk beef when it is most definitely not Beef.
