Beef: Grassfed vs Grainfed

[Maurice Boscorelli]

Which do you eat? Or do you care?

 

[Jesus Quintana]

Grass fed has to hang longer after killing but it is so much tastier.

 

[Joao]

Choice or Provimi veal chop?

$9 or $18 a lb. I wonder what tastes better?

 

[VVJoe]

This now makes sense to me.

There is also options when buying or eating chicken.

LOL :biggrin2:

I may be naive but most of the really bad sounding crap had nothing to do with grass vs grain, it had to do with hormone injections and anti-biotics - or did I just not understand it? The only other factor was space confinement.

My local butcher advertises grass fed beef from PEI. Wonder if that also means they haven't been injected?

Remember that Grain fed beef is really fattened up in the feedlot by feeding really rich foods. And renderings.

The fatter the cut the better for me. I like when a big juice rib eye gets caramelized when cooking it on my BBQ.

 

[Jesus Quintana]

Fat tastes good, agreed BUT a very well aged grass fed rib eye will blow the doors off your BSE and horemone burger. The renderings are bits of animal and chicken feet and all kinds of disgusting shit.

Grass fed beef is a bit tougher but what are you really wanting to eat? I nice big wad of fat or beef the way it's supposed to be?

Thanks Maurice. A very well informed picturesque thread.
