beef

I have never been a big red meat person. The only kind I really love is ground beef, like in a hamburger (however Chris says that does not count). The two main reasons are that it mostly seems super fatty and gross to me, plus I just don't think most cuts have THAT much flavor (as opposed to chicken).

Chris is a huge red meat fan, and probably quite disappointed as my cooking rarely includes it. One of the things that frustrates me are the number of cuts and the varying names. For instance, I looked up a recipe today that called for Beef Top Sirloin. Simple, right? So often I'll then go to the store and find everything BUT this cut. I'll find rib, round roast, top loin, tenderloin, etc.. Then they'll stick an "eye" in their somewhere that really throws me for a loop.

I like chicken. Pure and simple. In fact, the other day my mom was teasing me about this. I was trying to tell her about some great chicken I had at Pat and Oscars. I said, "They weren't even chicken breasts", to which she replied, "What were they?". I then proceeded to try and describe the shape to her. She then laughed and commented on how my generation is so spoiled with boneless skinless chicken breasts, we don't even know what parts of the chicken are! That's ok by me. :)
