Comparing Where We Live, Texas and ?

At a Texas steakhouse, you're lucky to find ANY vegetables besides a baked potato! We do like our steak!

 

Rare with a runny egg and chips please.lol

 

I wish we had the room to raise a steer for the freezer. We've had cattle before, I do like cattle, but 8 acres, partly wooded, is not enough room for cattle. That and I just don't want to take on a 2,000 pound bull any more. I once had a Texas Longhorn bull that would lower his head and run at me. I carried a piece of pipe and took a baseball batter's stance. Just before he hit me, I stepped aside and hit him HARD on his nose. He and I had a lot of Come-To-Jesus meetings.

 

Imagine if the vegetarians spoke up, they would have found a more different place.

We have lots of beef on the hoof around these parts. And have seen some long horns roaming around, been missing taking pics of those. Also rolling hill with horses. We have fox hunts sometime. I would imagine Texas beef tastes different than beef up here due to feed, grass etc. Not saying better or worse, just different. My local butcher has a section of his store dedicated to butchering up deer caught by hunters.

 

Why? Beef is nothing more that reconstituted vegetables...

That sounds similar to some of the smaller butchers here also. If things such as moose, boar, small game and poultry are added. Theres a tendency here to think that such meats are healthier. If a wild animal gets sick, it dies. If one reared on a farm gets sick, its fed antibiotics until it gets well. Thats despite local laws....

I want it known, I only eat VEGETARIAN animals.lol

 

That's just extra protein!

 

When visiting a friend in Fort Worth Texas a couple of years ago, we went to a burger restaurant. The size of the meal that arrived for me was about what I'd normal eat in 2 days!
I wadded my way through the burger and fries as I was brought up to clear my plate. Eventually I managed to finish the meal (felt like going and lying down in a darkened room to recover). The waitress arrived to clear the plates and turned to me with a big grin and said " good job ma'am" I have never before or since been congratulated for finishing a meal.

 

I leave the fly on the side of the plate.lol lol lol
