Just when you think we have reached the height of stupidity, Epicurious (an astonishingly stupid name to begin with) decides to cancel beef because... climate change.
Today we announced that Epicurious is cutting out beef. It won’t appear in new Epi recipes, articles, newsletters, or on social. This isn’t a vendetta against cows or people who eat them. It’s a shift about sustainability; not anti-beef but pro-planet.
Our mission hasn’t changed. As always, we hope to inspire home cooks to be better, smarter, and happier in the kitchen. We understand you’re going to have questions, and we’ve tried to anticipate some of them. We’re also here to continue the conversation.
This is not a cooking site, it is a cult.
Every organization populated by pronouns types eventually becomes indistinguishable, it's the same BLM, climate change, feminism blather that you can't tell from any other or an activist organization.
Because eating red meat makes you strong and healthy. People who are strong and healthy don’t want the government to control their lives.
"Everything the government is doing right now is designed to make you fat, weak, stupid, depressed, lazy, and reliant on crumbs they wipe off their plates. Heath replaced by pharmaceuticals. Education replaced by programming. Hard work replaced by handouts. These people hate you."
-Ian Smith, owner of Atilis Gym, who defied New Jersey lockdowns
Inversion is satanic.
This.
There's an ongoing effort to push things that make people physically unhealthy. Promoting physical health might unironically be one of the best ways to counteract all of this bullshit. Healthier body means a healthier mind.
Exactly. Beef (AS LONG AS ITS GRASS FED) is the best protein for humans. Ironically, anything grass fed IS NOT bad for the planet.
So, if they were being honest, they would be against FACTORY FARMING of all kinds, not just a blanket statement against red meat.
But buh god would going after factory farming make every agri mega corp pull their advertisements and thus would never happen.
He has investments in both Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. He doesn't have much left of Beyond Meat because he pumped and dumped that shit so hard. There's probably a good story in there if someone were to dig deep. I remember he went on all these tech youtubers channels and hyped it up while the soy goblin hosts declared it was indistinguishable from meat. While this is going on some food youtubers jump in to do taste tests on their own and declare it pretty fucking bad. Hype. Hype. Hype. Big IPO. Bill Gates Foundation sells off its stock at the top and FUCKING crash.
I bought a pack of Beyond Meat Italian sausages a while ago. They were truly fucking awful. I ate three bites then chucked them all in the trash. No real flavor plus mealy texture equals shit.
There's a local vegan place that has awesome Incredible burgers. They're on our regular takeout schedule a couple of times a month.
My kid gets a "plain" version because he doesn't like the toppings. One time they messed up and gave us all plain versions -- just bread, bun, lettuce.. none of their special sauce, none of the caramelized onions, no other toppings, etc.
Turns out an Incredible burger tastes like garbage without all the toppings.
Plain beef burger with nothing on it FTW.
Do you have to do the butchering yourself?
Ground beef heart mixed with a bit of fattier meat makes a great chili base.
Properly prepped and cooked, liver can be tolerated.
But kidney is absolute shit.
Well, it's the body's water filter, so it's probably loaded with all kinds of gunk accumulated over the cow's lifetime.
I'm not surprised people like heart and tongue. They're specialized muscle tissue, but still muscle.
Never heard of "Flintstone Steak". Thanks for the info!
Do tongues really end up as dog food? Tongue tacos are the best.
Most, if not all, places that will sell you a cow or half cow will happily cut it up however you want. They usually sell as a bunch of pre-cuts and ground beef, as Mr. FuckCNN said above, but you can always ask for something special.
If you live in places outside of DC, likesay farther out than the farthest sticks of NoVa, many of those same places will also offer a whole or half hog, venison, and sometimes even bison.
I don't know if this is a regional or family thing but giving a newly wed couple a half cow is "the thing to do." It's a fairly modern idea as it implies that the couple has refrigeration/freezer but it's not that far from the idea of a dowry and the husband taking over the herd.
You could probably take it to a local butcher. There are videos on youtube that go into a lot of detail about how to do it.
The zoomers and faggots need something else to fear and virtue signal about now that COVID has been beaten to death by the MSM.
