Did you ever read Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
The cow comes out to ask what cut is desired from it.
Bah. Now if your steak did that, I’d be worried
I’ve seen a steak that was still twitching...
Many years ago when out slaughtering with my uncle, a butcher, that had a slaughter truck business that would go out on the local farms
He had that farmer beef drop skinned and in recognisable cuts of meat in the 30 minutes
It was very weird seeing a raw steak steaming and still twitching
