PISSING MATCH THREAD!!

[ducatiz]

and get paid for it!

Might be a perfect spot for you and Tizz' to own a vacation house 

if you sent me to Ireland, i would denude the place of sheep by eating one per day.

i love lamb chops, ribs, offal... all of it.  i can't get enough.

I dunno I would be a little sheepish about slaughtering, cooking and devouring something I may have had a romantic attachment to....I guess it might depend on whether or not we parted amicably

Dude, the sheep are mangy looking.

In all the slaughter house style grocery stores I went to in Cork when I lived there........I never saw lamb for sale.

Which is why I can't figure out why sheep and Ireland are synonymous in the American mindset.

Sure, they used the wool for some kick ass warm sweaters, but outside of that.......never saw it for sale.


Based on growing up with an Uncle who raised sheep (get the jokes out now), they are nothing like edible sheep, as you very well know there are many different breeds which of course serve different purposes.

I personally believe Southdown's taste the best.

god knows what the ones in Ireland were, but they looked like hell.

There have been plenty of people in history to partake in such adventures.

You could be the next Dahmer!

I like goat too so mangy sheep would be great

If I remember correctly, you've also eaten Giraffe...........therefore, your food palate might be a bit off.

Does that mean you'll be at the Royal Mile pub next Tuesday?  There is a rumor that they carry Haggis.  Mmmmm, sheeps pluck.

Unfortunately for you, good sir, Iowa is 7th in the nation on head of cattle (beef as you call it).

I am not sure there is such animal as a "beef" but I suppose I will let it slip.

In 2008, Iowa had approximately 4.0 million head of cattle which accounted for 4.1% of the total amount in the United States of America.

Now, that does not give a break down of the type of cattle.......whether it be for milk or meat production. However, one could consider one in the same as it is common knowledge in the livestock industry that old milk cows are turned into low grade hamburger.

The winner would be Texas in the amount of cattle in the United States of America.

Upon further research, your argument takes a further nose dive in the category of "beef producing" states.

Iowa is ranked 10th (also a 2008 statistic).

Therefore, you have a 10% chance of getting a steak from Iowa if all things were considered equal, which they never are.


You do, however, raise a good point on what state produces the best tasting beef (proper use).

I've got a friend that owns a "ranch" in southern Indiana with approximately 300-400 head of Black Angus.

That is some of the best beef I have eaten; it is 100% grass fed verse being hauled off to some huge feed farm in Colorado or other states.

Your "wikifacts" are full of hyperbole and if I cared enough I would whittle each to the diameter of a toothpick before snapping them and flicking them to the roadway.  Alas, my time is valuable.

Was not seeking a skewed statistical excretion.  Was stating an indisputable opinion.  With the proper care, feed and a small enough pen (and beer/massages), wonderful beef can result no matter what the location.

I care about the beef, the finished product, the end result, ready to throw on the grill.  Mmmm mmmm good!

I also care about nipples, just not BGB's.......

So basically you like Kobe Beef?

I'll agree to that.


Not sure how much you travel, but if you are ever in Key West, FL seek out Bad Boys Burrito's.

Ignore the smell of dope when you walk in the door, it just goes with the territory.

but you will have the best and freshest Kobe Beef Burrito ever.

Last time I was there earlier this year it was around 7-8$

My god do I want one now.


I declare this one to be an equal pissing match of crap.

1) Bullshit. That may be "Kobe-style" beef but it would be fiscally impossible to sell a genuine kobe beef burrito for $8 and stay in business. Since you seem to believe that copy/paste from wikipedia is the be all end all to presenting an argument, her you go:

"The massive increase in popularity of Kobe beef in the United States has led to the creation of "Kobe-style" beef, taken from domestically-raised Wagyu crossbred with Angus cattle, in order to meet the demand. Farms in America and Britain have attempted to replicate the Kobe traditions, providing their Wagyu herds with beer and daily massages with warm sake.[10]  U.S meat producers claim that any differences between their less expensive "Kobe-style" beef and true Kobe beef are largely cosmetic.[11] The cattle are fed American and/or British grass and grain, which is different from the more expensive Japanese feed.[7] Cuts of American "Kobe-style" beef tend to have darker meat and a bolder flavor.[12]"


2) Why the hell would anyone ruin Kobe beef by putting it in a burrito? In Japan the preparations are usually very gentle. Kobe is even eaten raw as sashimi. What the make the beast with two backs kind of rationale makes someone say, "I have some of the best raised beef in the world right here. Now slather it with beans and pass the hot sauce! Yeehaw!" That is just dumb.

Edit:

Here's something I did not know:

"Kobe beef refers to meat from Tajima-gyu cows certified by the Kobe Beef Distribution & Promotion Council. Since the Council was established, no beef certified as being "Kobe beef" or "Tajima beef" by the Council has ever been exported from Japan by the Council or by designated Kobe beef producers and retail stores. . . it accounts for a mere 0.06% of total beef consumption in Japan. This scarcity is another factor contributing to its high price."

Enjoy your fancy-pants burrito.

Game is better.  Give me a mature Sierra Elk anyday over fatty beef..  Not that I don't like cow, but wild, grass fed cow is far better tasting than the fatty USDA prime. The Wagyu stuff is fine for an appetizer, but the fat destroys your taste for the rest of the meal.  You hae to drink a VERY heavy red with that.

Thanks, I will

You realize Haggis is Scottish, right?

[causeofkaos]

I dont think you can have a pissing match without R-Kelly as either a judge or the benchmark.

[rgramjet]

Yes, yes it is.  Its made with a sheeps pluck.  You were talking about sheep...hence the reference.
