NY is good, so is porterhouse, t-bone, sirloin... (love steak) but I got this great recipe for a sesame, ginger flank steak that will damn near melt in your mouth.

Man, I'm gonna have to whip up some marinade for this weekend.

"A growing number of vegetarians are starting to eat humanely raised meat.

Huh? What is that all about, does humanely killed enter the equation?

A friend of mine helped a farmer kill his cows come slaughter time, he would shoot them between the eyes with a 44, is that considered "humane"

One day he shot a steer and he just shook his head, snorted and and looked really unhappy.

Did that second shot (quickly I may add) make it really un-humane?

What a bunch of losers

"It's okay to raise them, kill them and eat them if they are raised (In our opinion) humanely.

For one, they should have a higher red blood cell count! As well as more iron in their blood. Both are important.

Not true. What's important to have an RBC (red blood count) and iron levels within a normal range. Too high can be as bad as too low.

Bolt Gun, mainly used in slaughterhouses, safe to use as there is no bullet. It fires a cap which in turn fires a bolt out of the barrel about eight inches.

Well, someone’s got to eat all those steroids :>)

Actually, I like my meat with as little fat as possible, and my own BBQ sauce to go on top. That does it, now I am getting hungry.

"I’ve got a pound and a half of ground chuck in the fridge for supper tomorrow. Who will give me their best hamburger recipe?"

Ground chuck is great for burgers, I like to spray the grids with olive oil (No stick will do)

Preheat as high as you can get it.

Sprinkle with onion powder, salt and pepper prior to grilling.

Sear them for about one minute, flip and then after searing them a second time reduce heat and cover.

Cook 8-12 minutes.

Don't make the mistake of preparing 1/4 pounders, make them about 5 1/2 ounces each.

Is that a Rolyal with cheese?

Bolt, Bullet... whatever.

A metal projectile fired by expanding gases from a brass shell.

Builders use something similar to drive anchors/nails/bolts into cement.

Why would you ruin that beautifully meat by cooking in on a GAS GRILL?

Don’t they have charcoal where you’re from?

I haved always laughed at vegetarions who would say they were having soy turkey for Thanksgiving.

If you really believe in vegetarianism, then wouldn't eating vegetables fixed up like meat be like playing with toy guns? It's not the real thing, but it could be a stepping stone...

On the other hand I am amazed at those Texas steak houses that have the 2 1/2 pounders or more where you get a t-shirt and you picture on the wall if you eat the whole thing.

That's 4 1/2 lbs there, pardner. 72 ounces of pure heaven. Plus shrimp cocktail, salad, bread, and baked potato. Not only do they get it free if they eat it all in an hour, but they'll get the pic and t-shirt, just like you said...

"If Vegetarians eat vegetables... what do Humanitarians eat?"

I never thought about that one before. Do Vegans eat Vegas?

(For you young whippersnappers: Vega was a really crappy car from the 70s.)

Hey, if people from Cuba are called Cubans, what do you call people from Tampa? But I digress...

I ate there once—actually saw someone try it. Damn shame, really. Why kill yourself? Besides, it was “only” top sirloin.

I should ask- how many burgers do you need from that 1.5 pounds?

Take 5 strips of bacon, and cut them crosswise into 14-16 pieces. That's easiest to do if you freeze the slices first. A good sub for that would be 4oz of BH Cappicola cut into strips.

Put them into a dry skillet over medium heat, stir occasionally until browned. Take the bacon from the pan and all but a bit of the bacon fat and then cook half of a meduim white onion diced stir ocassionally until it just starts to brown.

Take the pan off the heat, add your idea of a heavy pinch of salt and a bit more pepper than you would normally use and a large pinch of ground sage.

Mix the onions and the bacon together after they hit room temp or below. Add 1 egg and a heavy table spoon of prepared horseradish, or cocktail sauce.

Mix all that with the ground beef and shape it into patties tonight. Let them chill in the fridge over night.

Let me know how it turns out.

Yes, my husband has started eating meat again after a seven-year hiatus as an ethically motivated and health-conscious vegetarian.

As a Ph.D. in Human Nutrition/Nutritional Biology, I can say that someone can be a completely health-conscious and healthy omnivore.
