[Tilted Irish Kilt]

miss marmelstein :" I’ve often told the story of my husband’s private club that on Thanksgiving Day were surprised by the health inspectors.
They espied two turkeys on a board waiting to be carved and made the chef throw it out for no good reason."

Chances are that the meat was "resting", to re-absorb the natural juices.
If the health inspectors find meat(protein) even one degree cooler than permissible , they order it destroyed immeditely.
They adhere to their rules and regulations, and there is no appeal to their decisions.
And god help you if you argue with them; they are like Storm Troopers.
So I think the culinary school is prepping you in accordance to the rules of the State Health Dept. Gestapo.

I know what they’re prepping me for; what I always do is joke about the regulations that tied our lives up in red tape.

I can’t remember if the turkeys were coming out of the fridge or out of the oven, actually. I do know those regulators destroyed food. And in my Catholic unbringing: that is a sin.
