My favorite pulled pork place’s motto: You don’t need teeth to eat our meat!

[miss marmelstein]

Supermarket meat is outrageously expensive. Particularly beef and some cuts of lamb. I’m sure that’s why Americans are eating less meat (if the story is true, by the way).

[miss marmelstein]

Remember that if your beef cuts are tough and stringy - slow cook them. That should help with tenderizing.

“Why is this happening”

I’m not so sure that some of this isn’t due to people waking up to the antibiotics and hormones that producers are putting into the food supply.

More for me! WhooHoo!

[GAB-1955]

Amen. We’re looking for cheap, fatty meats to serve as flavoring while I’m out of work.

[TheOldLady]

Indeed.

Wish I could type my response without getting banned.

I pluck figs...

Thanks for having a sense of humor! It's rare yet refreshing!

[Poser]

It's the price!

[Poser]

Here’s how I heard it in the 1960’s.

I’m not a fig plucker nor a fig plucker’s son
but I’ll keep plucking figs ‘till the fig plucker comes.

OMG!

Now I have to remember another one for drinking games.

LOL

I don’t eat that! I’m ovovegelactomaniacaletorialeggtarian and if you’re not then shame on you!

[CodeToad]

High unemployment tends to do that to people, yet, farmers and ranchers everywhere will still vote Democrap.

I have a sudden urge for baba ghanoush.

“I have a sudden urge for baba ghanoush.”

Is that what Danny Thomas used mention in his great old show?

[Vision]

Meat eating in the United States is going out of style.

Some people paid money today to read this crap.

[50mm]

Possibly. Danny Thomas’s parents were from Lebanaon.

I bet BACON MAN could even defeat Chuck Norris!
