Dear Mr. Seoul -
My quote: Finished product was amazing; perfect texture,
plenty of juiciness (whoever says grassfed beef isn't marbled enough is welcome to come over for dinner), a balanced smokiness that said "BBQ" without hiding the flavor of the meat.....
I stated that my grassfed beef is in fact marbled which contributed to the
JUICINESS of my chuckie. Some people say that it isn't, although it can be when properly raised. You incorrectly quoted me as attributing the
flavor to the fat content/marbling. Besides that error, in MANY (some would argue most) people's opinions, beef fat is DELICIOUS. Exhibit A - a cleaned plate from a properly grilled (and marbled/fatty) ribeye, even naked (the ribeye, that is lol)! Counterpoint - you offered bacon (which I adore :thumb
as your exhibit to the tastiness of pork. Bacon is salt-cured and smoked, without that it is called side-pork (or pork-belly). Have you ever pan fried some uncured/unsmoked side-pork. Now THAT is a much closer definition to the flavor of armpit :icon_sick (I assume).... HOWEVER, when it is introduced to and married with flavor (the "bacon-ing" process, or my personal favorite, Hong Shao Rou
http://redcook.net/2009/03/01/red-cooked-pork-redux/ ), side-pork becomes a slice of heaven! But I digress, in the end, it is all a subjective matter of opinion....I love me some charred beef fat, you can enjoy all of the swine blubber that you care for, and there is still enough room for both of our palates in this fine forum :mrgreen:. Have a wonderful evening my friend.....
