Will you hear the most beautiful music...

i'd love to follow up in... say.... 10 years, on how your reckless lifestyle choices did or did not destroy planet A

if we will still be around. I am worried we may not be. But hey you enjoy today at the expense of our children's tomorrow. Drive that big truck to the grocery store and load it up with red meat.... HOW FUN

Dude it was a video of a steak being prepared try and gain a sense of perspective.

Okay, it is fair to criticize lifestyle that contributes to global warm, but of course, it is not just eating meat that contributes, so if you want to raise such harsh criticism, tell us if you also avoid all the other terrible activities that contribute to high greenhouse gas emissions:  do you own and operate a cell phone (each cell phone, when you count life cycle, including an allocated share of energy to operate the entire network, consumes about as much electricity as a refrigerator)?; do you do any travelling by air?; do you own pets, particularly a dog or cat?, do live beyond walking distance from your workplace?.  There are countless other such lifestyle issues that can be raised.  A lot of people are unaware, for example, that eating organic food is actually bad for the environment (lower productivity means more land has to be under agricultural production).  

Not to worry everyone. The woke climate nazis are about to have their arses kicked by the worst economy in 50 years. It's how Regan got elected and it will be how the next president will be elected. 

We are now raising Wagu beef in the States. I have no idea how it compares with Japanese grown beef but it does look pretty much the same. The steaks are going for $35.00/lb. 

Making the ultimate steak. Marinate in Dale's Steak Sauce for one hour then vacuum pack with a sprig of rosemary and a few pepper corns. Sous Vide at 122 degrees for one hour then grill super hot for one minute each side. Add a botte of Cabernet, Stags Leap will do, a twice baked baked potato and grilled asparagus.

Damn, I'm hungry. (trying to lose weight)

You really don't keep up with the actual news, do you?
But you're great at the alternative news, for sure.

25% of methane going into the atmosphere comes from cow burps/belches (rather than the more commonly held belief concerning bovine farts).

@curiousjim The Wagyu-equivalent pork:  it's the mangalica pork. The Spanish Serrano ham is made from mangalica.

The Mangalica breed originated from the bakonyi breed, which was a Hungarian breed that was exported to England up to the XVIIth century. The word "bacon" comes from this now exctinct breed of pork (bakonyi -> bacon). That tells us it was the real deal... ; )

realworldaudio brought up an interesting bit. Read the mention of how this quality meat has different fat characteristics compared to the regular junk we eat.

I wish I could find a link to the pigs I was referring to who eat acorns. They are another Spanish raised pig used exclusively for a cured prosciutto type, cured meat. Research shows the stuff isn't artery clogging as regular meat.

@tablejockey ​​​​@realworldaudio,

Thanks for the tip on Mangalica pigs.  I wonder what’s available here in the Midwest.

@tablejockey,

They’re Iberico pigs. Very expensive hams come  from those little fellas.

@tablejockey , I love D'Artagnan. Fun site to shop and they are not far away. I get my duck fat and foie gras from them. I'll try the pig. I've had wild boar and was not all that impressed. "Hog with a lot of lard" They are 65 to 70% fat! A wagu pig. 1 ham is $450.00. That is probably what a bone in prime roast costs now. 

@nonoise , what on gods green earth are you talking about?

@mijostyn ,Not to worry everyone. The woke climate nazis are about to have their arses kicked by the worst economy in 50 years. It's how Regan got elected and it will be how the next president will be elected.

It just flows out of you so effortlessly, like a good troll.

This is what you want.

One of the most commonly found trees in Spain is the encina, the holm oak.  This is not the same as the roble, the oak tree that you will be familiar with.  The encina is evergreen, but like the roble also bears acorns.  The best ham comes from pigs that roam free-range over the ground/grass under the trees, and eat the fallen acorns.

As you'll see from the article, what you want to look for is jamón ibérico puro bellota, and if you really want to give your wallet a real workout, then add pata negra.  

In the U.S., if you're in the Dartzeel bracket, you can shop here while visiting Colonial Williamsburg:

"This is what you want."

twoleftears-

YES,  I believer this is the stuff I am referring to! Of course you're not supposed to eat excessive amounts at, but this fat isn't nearly as lethal as our US meat.

The locals have consumed it for generations before coronary concerns.

"I've had wild boar and was not all that impressed."

mijostyn- I think it  depends on country/chef-whoever's in charge if you're  talkin roasted(whole thing on a spit or underground?) I'm more of a cured/prosciutto guy.  Now and then I like treating myself to a  simple, proper loin chop now and then.
