Chef Jim Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Pfffft, I've been called a wine soaked pig of a long time.
boyst Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I am thinking that this is very intriguing. Garlic and Onions will absorb in to the meat terribly. Some people like it but it taints all the meat. It is interesting that they are still grain feeding the cattle vs. grassfed. Canada is still in to grainfed beef and not doing much with the grassfed market. Basically, I would love to try this beef if it was grassfed. I can only imagine the leanness to be perfect for Angus, a fattier and more marbled animal. Charolais and other continental breeds may not be so well. For now, I will just continue to eat my own beef! I just picked up my latest harvest and have over 300 lbs. to enjoy. If anyone is in the Greensboro/Charlotte area and wants to try some, let me know.
