In five minutes I shall begin the grilling of two tenderloins wrapped in bacon. What I don’t want to force tonight will be a sandwich tomorrow. On a hamburger bun. With sesame seeds. That’s vegan, isn’t it?
Cows and pigs eat lots of vegetables and perform the service of combining them with their own deliciousness and concentrating the protein into a more palatable form.
Think of them as “middle men” a great tradition in American Capitalism.
So eating them is not only good tasting, it’s efficient and patriotic!
(Sesame seeds are a nice touch. Even better to use pressed sesame oil, mirin vinegar, wasabi, sugar and soy to make a great sauce!)
