[Food] Which is better

[Tom Bombadil]

So Mrs BG is used to a small portion of meat. Anyway are we sure these steaks are from a cow and not say a horse or donkey?

From the taste I would suggest that they were from a Bull not a cow as the fat is always yellow if coming from a cow.

Surely we can all compromise and meat in the middle

If you think that you are clearly misteaken.

The colour of beef fat is determined by the amount of carotene in their diet, primarily. Grass-fed cows have yellow fat, as the carotene from the grass is stored in their fat.
Grain-fed beef has a whiter fat, due to the absence of carotene in the grain (although corn does contain a small amount).

It has nothing to do with male or female.

It took me half the time to find this out, than it did to type this.

It will take me many, many years to work out why I bothered to research this, and even longer to work out why I bothered to type this reply out

I'm not a regular steak eater - probably about 6 a year - so happy to pay for the quality of a fillet or flat-iron 6oz all meat, rather than paying for the fat as well ....
Sometimes, cheapest is false economy.

Not sure why people are 'having a pop' at BG about this, have you got an agenda ? do you do this all the time ?

The only important thing to note is

We had it for dinner last night and cooked as per the bbc food experts Guide to frying steak and it was absolutely gorgeous, .... Will certainly go there again.

I'm sure most people have personal choices of where they like to shop or explore and why one person's should be belittled and have head in hand emoji's attached I do not understand.

I prefer some fat-marbling in a steak, improves the flavour in my view - doesn't mean it's cheap. A decent aged rib-eye isn't cheap.

As a young school boy working as a Saturday butchers boy about 1955/6 I was told by the butcher Wally Pearece in Worthing that you could tell beef from a cow as opposed to a bull by the yellow fat. Obviously he didnt know after 50 years of being in business as a butcher what he was talking about. I took his word as he was an expert and have always believed that,.

Kevin Thorne's in Martletts Burgess Hill is good for that.

Hold up my Mrs as a young girl worked in a butchers and to this day can always pick out the best cuts of meat, now how come you can’t? Also yellow fat is normal from an older cow 10 yrs plus.

Yep use Kevin T quite a bit - he's good
