I thought that a t-bone was tenderloin and ribeye, when in fact it is tenderloin and strip loin. I am a professional and have been mistaken on this subject for years. It was pretty distressing to discover

Milk at dinner here, too. We would go through a gallon every other day between my brother and I. It was always 1% or skim though. I drink exclusively whole now that I am an adult and making my own milk decisions.

Hyperlynx posted:Bacon/pork/whatever tastes disgusting to me - too much salt and fat. My curiosity with this statement is how all of pork falls into the "too fatty/salty" category. Bacon is, by definition, heavily salted, and comes from a very fatty part of the animal. But if your pork chops or pulled pork are way too salty and greasy, you just ate some very poorly prepared pork.

Hyperlynx posted:Kay. I still don't understand who is preparing your pork that it is too salty and fatty across the board. Pork loin (chops) and shoulder (pulled pork) are very lean cuts aside from a fat cap, which should be removed in the case of loin, and taken off after cooking for shoulder. You cook the shoulder with fat cap on to give the otherwise lean cut some moisture. Unlike good beef, pork is not known for its marbling (intermuscular fat). Any of your beef steaks will be much fattier than pork. Also, pork does not come pre salted.

Delivery McGee posted:Negative in the sense of jury rig -- "It's not great, but it's the best that we can do in a pinch with what we have on hand," as opposed to "taking the time to do it proper-like". Cf. German "ersatz", and modern "duct tape and/or baling wire" methods of making do. Ha up until now I always thought the term was "Jerry rig". Like some guy named Jerry fixed things in a half assed way so often that a term was named after him or something. Not that I've ever given it much thought, but this is the first time I've seen that term written. I've been saying it wrong my whole life.

Hyperlynx posted:No, you're not wrong. They're two pretty similar, related terms. "Jerry rigged" refers to "Jerry the German", in the sense of a wartime name for the dude you're fighting (like "Charlie" for the Viet Cong). Until I googled, I thought "Jury rigged" was the derivative, but it's actually the origin, though "Jerry rigged" developed through the two world wars. Source: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/132868/jury-rigged-or-jerry-rigged. Oh neat, that makes me feel better. It's kind of like the other "rigged" term that's a very rude thing to say.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:It still baffles me that some people consider fish meat a separate thing from other kinds of animal meat. It boggles my mind when people consider them different, and are "vegetarian but I eat fish." Commercial fishing ravages species way more than commodity beef or chicken production. Of course, beef and chicken have their own down sides, I consider commodity chicken and the conditions in which they live to be one of, if not the, most evil things in food service. But nothing in food service contributes to the decline and possibly eventual extinction of species quite like fishing. It's the same with chicken-chicken and fish, in my experience, are the two meats that people who lean towards vegetarianism will eat. Fish is absurd for the above reasons, and chicken on a commercial farm are jam packed into tiny cages and stacked, barely enough room to move and making GBS threads all over each other. Even "cage-free" commercial chicken are jam-packed into a warehouse with a concrete floor, sure there aren't any cages, but they can barely move and will never see the sun. "Vegetarian-fed' chicken are sickly and weak, because chicken are omnivores. Beef, on the other hand, tends to have lots of space, sustainability on a cow/calf ranch (as in having a ranch that will stand the test of time, something that even a rancher with zero concern for the environment cares a whole lot about) requires a massive amount of land for a relatively small amount of cattle. They need to rotate through pastures so that grass has the opportunity to grow enough to feed the herd. There are certainty some feed lots that pack the cows in tight, and there are environmental implications with the massive amount of waste that cows produce (this is, again, at the feed lot. At a cow/calf ranch, there is enough space that they don't need to worry about waste removal, the cows just poop wherever and it fertilizes the grass), but of all commodity meats, beef cattle probably has the best quality of life. So overall why those two meats are the ones that people will eat when they only eat a little/some meat (or say "I'm a vegetarian but I eat...") makes absolutely zero sense to me.

My parents, who were far from rich when I was growing up, had one as long as I can remember (70s-80s). That's the one (or a similar one) that I've got. I think they were talking about the fridge/freezers with water and ice dispenser on the door, which are considerably more expensive.

Well here's another chunk from that wiki article. Filet mignon, in France, may refer to pork, but in US English and Quebec french, as well as many other places in the world, it refers to a cut of beef. I worked in a French bistro in the USA that had "Filet de Boeuf" for a title, and the description/English translation said "6oz Filet Mignon". It is also pretty clear that the article is referring to filet mignon as beef. I skipped around copy/pasting and excluded the languages whose names for a petite beef tenderloin aren't filet mignon or something similar. wikipedia posted:The same cut of beef can also be called:
