Butcher messed up...

[Jogeephus]

Carried a 1300 lb organically grass fed black charlolais to the butcher and he gave me this back. I think he messed up. Well maybe not. ;-) :mrgreen: Anyone know what this might be?

Now Jo are you sure this beef is ORGANIC
has he been on feed and pasture that has not had commercial fert, pesticides, herbicicides or any other inorganic matter applied in the last 3 yrs and the farm has been certified organic by the Govmn't

Dang...looks like salt pork.

 

[Running Arrow Bill]

That's all the beef you got back? LOL!! Pretty expensive meat...

;-)

That pic appears to me to be a pork chop minus the bone. Looks somewhat like this IMO. Instills a lot of confidence in what you will be eating doesn't it? How is the color of the fat of the beef?

Just kidding about getting it from the butcher. Don't know a butcher around that would touch it. Does look like pork though doesn't it. Give you a tip, the loin muscle ends up being a quad muscle.

Cods? or gator.

I've got a good recipe for gator, got it down in Louisiana the other year. Can't buy gator here anymore.

There appears to be a good amount of fat in gator meat? Or is that connective tissue?
Do they eat corn? Crackers? Cocker Spaniels? They gotta be eating good.

I heard that cats are their favorite meal.

I heard it was human legs...especially farmers... :lol: I was told they very rearly have cat as they are to fast for them on land and cats very rearly go near water. Dog on the other hand get got far more often. Captive Gators are feed fish. Get your facts straight before trying to upset the Cat community.

Jo they only supply to the catering trade, you need to buy big amounts far to much for me. Never had Zebra not sure I would want to. Had Camel in Egypt, can't say I remember what it tasted of though. But I probably would have a cup of tea with it, as tea goes well with most foods. Can't beat an good English cup of tea. ;-)

I agree. Especially once its been sugared up and the proper amount of ice has been added to it. :lol2:

Yes that's fat the tail meat is like loin meat wrapped in the layers of fat. I'll trim it out later. They eat fish, beevers, turtles, the occasional deer or dog that gets too close to the water. I feed one of them deer carcuses.

All I know is that Alligator sausage tastes like Alligator............

 

[andybob]

Zebra tastes the same as horse, though we usually made most of it into salami, crock is inclined to be a little fatty, especially the farmed ones, they are fed chicken, wild ones eat whatever they can catch, mostly fish, which gives a slightly fish flavour.
You must pay us a visit if you are down our way Chrisy, we do have plenty of Buffalo and wild boar in the farm shop from off the farm.

The only good meat from a gator is the tail meat; kind of wasteful, but I am a cajun....
The trick to making gator taste good (the way it should) is to trim the fat off meticulously. Any fat at all and the meat will taste somewhat rancid. If the meat is well trimmed we fry it up just like you would catfish filets (after seasoning ofcourse). I'm getting hungry

 

[VtMapleGal]

I have had gator nuggets. not sure what part of the gator it was from, but they were great!

Yes might just do that andy, one of these days. Looked up on map and it should only take just under 2 hours to drive down. When I have my next holiday in August, I will pm you when I am coming and purhaps you can take time out to say Hello.
