Cuts the butcher might keep, not steal

[tsmaxx47]

alan;
without knowing the circumstances, i would venture a guess that you have a significant mexican population in your area. if that is the case, cheek meat is cooked to make barbacoa - a specialty item in mexican cuisine especially on sunday mornings. that bucket you're refering to could be the first step. i don't particulary care for barbacoa as it is a little greasy for my taste, but those that do are true believers...

Tongue and tail are the furthest I will venture into that culinary cuisine and even the tongue has to be done like a brisket for me to eat it.

Liver is dog food and is not allowed in my house unless it is freeze dried and in a sealed bag, even then I have to hold my nose when giving treats the the pup. :frowns:

Don't even mention head cheese or kidneys :help:

There are many culinary items of diet that are ethnic, racial, or even tribal in origin that are anathema to many individuals, or even classes of people in different parts of the world. What humans eat is pre-determined to a large extent on necessity and availability of source. "Starving to death" is not an option in the protocols of most people!

Protein is absolutely mandatory for the sustenance of plant and animal bodies, and is essential to the diet of animals- even human beings! Therefore, the acquiring of protein is JOB 1 in the struggle for living. An animal, ANY animal, will experiment with eating ANYTHING to be able to continue living rather than venturing into a permanent state of "Goodnight Irene!"

Worms, Ants, Maggots, Rattlesnakes, (ANY snakes!,) Pond Scum, Beets and Cucumbers (they are in the same catagory as Pond Skum) are items that are TOPS on my "Do Not Touch" list! On the other hand - - - before I would succumb to the grim reaper without a battle - - - I might close my eyes, hold my nose and - - - try an ant. :bday: :bs:

IMO, the best way to not have to eat "undesirable things" is to never put yourself in a place or situation where survival skills would be necessary to stay alive (mandatory military service in a godforsaken place excepted). It also includes not having enough "normal" food (for you) on a hiking, camping, exploring, etc., trip where you might run out of food due to getting lost and/or getting injured, etc., and couldn't get back to "civilization".

Of course, even if you are a victim of a natural disaster, "normal" food still isn't very far away by some means...as long as you stay out of strange, exotic, and dangerous environments...

There is beef flank steak which is great for fajitas. I think it is an interior rib meat. Adds a few bucks to your total carcass value but there's not much of it.

Speaking of- how do you get rid of liver? I was thing about feeding it to the fish pond :???:

You slice liver about 1/2 inch thick, dust it with flour and cook it slowly till it's just pink inside.

Then you feed it to the dog.......

I only eat the OUTSIDE of the cow! :tiphat:

Hooves, horns, and hide?

That depends entirely on your interpretation of the term "--to GO!"

We knew that you do not eat the hide from the cow before she is slaughtered! :banana:

I was struck on the boot heel by a 4' long rattlesnake in an Eastern Colorado Wheat Field 61 years ago! Never forgot it! Still can't forget it :dunce: :shock: It is not the taste that is anathema to me. It is the :devil2: SNAKE! I won't even wear a snakeskin hatband because - - - at ONE time it was being worn by a snake!! I don't like snakes. I abhor snakes! I avoid snakes. I don't want to touch a snake. I don't want a snake to touch me. I hacked a 5' long rattlesnake in half with a very sharp hand ax in California one time on a camping trip with ONE stroke!! It was coiled and threatening my wife and three sons, and I had no choice. The only negative thing about the experience was - we had no underwear washing machine with us on the camping trip!!

I don't care for rattlesnakes.

Ok, but do you think if I throw it in the fish pond the bass may eat it? Benefit from it somehow?

The stuff makes potted meat look good. There has to be some way to get rid of it other than throwing it to the coyotes. I ain't feed'n no buzzards anything but a shotgun shell either!
