“What’s the beef?” Well pink slime by any other name while being ammoniated don’t smell so sweet, but afterwards they say they are selling finely textured beef.
Yup, finely textured dead stuff is also what they put in dog food and it sure does not seem to hurt ‘em any.
But I must confess, I do much prefer a coarsely textured steak and I’ll eat it even if it’s well done but a bit pink is better.
Last week, over in Nebraska, gourmet governors Terry Branstad of Iowa and Rick Perry of Texas joined homegrown Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy in touring to promote that it is “fine” to dine on pink slime.
To my taste, the more textured steak puts a wholesome smile more people’s faces, and some of them will be farmers and ranchers that can raise more cattle and make some money to put in their green jeans.
For economy sake, however — and with graduation time come up — some money might be saved on this year’s senior-class reception.
Buy some 100-pound bags of dog food that contain that finely textured stuff and serve it for hors d’oeuvre.
And no one will get upset if the cat jumps up on the table and joins the feast — well no one but the dog, but just throw Rover a coarsely textured bone and everyone will be happy.
This might also work for the senior prom with this year’s theme, “We’re going to the dogs, come join us for some finely textured beef.”
What’s the “BS”? “Beef slime” as finely textured beef. But no problem, just tell the free market what it’s buying.
They still eat dog food don’t they?
