A bull is a male animal. There is no such things as a male species of bull or anything else.
That’s a really well-aged steak.
I hope we didn’t pay for some “study” to figure this out.
Meat over an open fire is not that hard to figure out.
And I think I had one of those at Sizzler last month.
Okay, we've found an fossilized skull, and we've been eating beef for 2.5 million years. How old is that skull? Uhhhhhh, 1 million years. Come again?
Well, the key thing is we found a missing link, because it's not this thing and it's not that thing, so we know it's a genetic link between the two. Come again?
As far as I'm concerned the science here is as rock solid as the science of Global Warming.
Bos buiaensis: It’s what’s for dinner.
In April 1995 an article appeared in the journal Current Anthropology that was an intellectual tour de force and, in my view, an example of a perfect theoretical paper. “The Expensive-Tissue Hypothesis” (ETH) by Leslie Aiello and Peter Wheeler demonstrated by a brilliant thought experiment that our species didn’t evolve to eat meat but evolved because it ate meat.
My wife and I were at the baby doctor (who happens to be a Russian) with our 5 month old daughter for her second round of shots. My wife has been breast feeding and we planned to start with baby food at 6 months.
So I figured mashed peas or carrots, something like that. But we thought we should ask the doctor and he snapped “MEAT”. I almost jumped with surprise. We are still laughing about it.
Steak Dinners seem to have started about the time Beer was first being made. I think there is a connection here someplace.
A concise timeline of beer history by Prof. Linda Raley, Texas Tech University.

Beer became ingrained in the culture of civilizations with no significant viticulture.
Noah’s provisions included beer on the Ark.

Beer was a vital part of civilization and the Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Chinese, and Inca cultures.

And yet, we're advised that eating red meat is unnatural and bad for us...
I think that's only because they hadn't yet discovered Tofu. Or, maybe not.
Ogg like nice med rare NY Strip.
Ogg like grilled ‘shrooms in a butter-garlic sauce on side.
The ones at Ponderosa only go back 1.5 million years....to the dawn of the era of horse racing.
