Brisket Price

[Tiny Townsend]

I'm always talking about Queing, and what ever I'm cooking, so this guy I'm. Driving around tonight owns a farm that slaughters beef. I ask him about his brisket and he asks would I like one, I say yes. He brings me this out and gives it to me. I don't look at the price per pound until later. Is this organic or prime or what? crazy price!

Probably grass fed. It would be tougher than grain fed, less fat. There's a whole grass-fed movement going on, which produces healthier beef, but there is a huge difference in fat content, which you need to compensate for when cooking it. Not sure it's worth it for brisket, but it makes some pretty good steaks. There is a distinct difference in flavor – we used to grow our own steers on grass, and nothing in a market tastes like it. It's all beef, but the difference is remarkable. Like the difference between USA butter and grass-fed butter that is not under USDA rules, which requires adding water to lower the fat content.

 

Regards,

John

Organic.  Rare Earth Farms specializes in grass fed and finished with no hormones or steroids.  Much more expensive, but yields a better animal.

 

Best,

This means they pray over the cow before and during killing to conform to Islamic law.  I use halal chicken leg quarters.  They're a little more expensive but they are nice and large and juicy.  These guys not only process according to halal, but they name whole foods as a customer which to me would indicate they are also organic, free range, whale friendly and odor free.  Still that price is more than 3x what we pay from our supplier.

Halal (Arabic: حلال‎ ḥalāl, "lawful") is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term is used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law.  

Chaudhry Halal Meat Co. is one of the largest slaughter house and distributor of fresh, Zabiha Halal and USDA certified meats for the East, South East United States.

The company was founded in 1996 by Abdul Chaudhry who holds a Business Administration degree from UNC, Greensboro, North Carolina.

The company had a humble beginning during which Mr. Chaudhry would delivery meats by himself to various customers in the Raleigh area and even clean and stock the refrigerators of the customers. Mr. Chaudhry lived in North Carolina for over 25 years and oversees the plants day to day operations and ensures the highest quality meats are delivered to the customers.

Chaudhry Halal Meat Co. ships its products across United States in special boxes to retain the freshness of the meats. Some of the current customers include Whole Foods, various Ethnic retailers, specialty meat merchants and numerous direct customers.

The Company also carries other Halal products in addition to the fresh meats. For best meats and Halal products please shop at Chaudhry Halal Meat Co.

It could be organic, but doesn’t state it anywhere on the label. It’s probably grass fed, free range. My wife brings a lot of that kind of stuff home from her natural food store, and I’m always shocked on the price.

 

In my opinion, the grass fed beef is not very tasty. Edible, but has a musty smell/taste to me. Grain fed is much tastier. Notice the top staek houses don’t use grass fed beef…there is a reason.

Unless you see the words “Certified Organic”, then it’s probably not. And even then, the USDA Organic standards are whitewashing what organic really is, allowing products and methods that I don’t consider organic, but they have to please the big food corporations, don’t ya know?

Wow, did I just go off on a mini rant? Coffee is almost brewed, then I’ll be better.

We used to raise critters on grass up to near-butcher stage, then we'd add the corn/caramel silage mix to fatten them up. Right tasty, that. I was getting a load of it while Mt. St. Helens was raining ash on us in 1980 – we had to have our headlights on, the street lights came on, and our chickens went back on the roost – all at about 2 pm in the afternoon!

Regards,

John

have a chef buddy that is always saying about grass-fed beef is 'grass tastes like ass'---

[Mike Chester]

At least 25% of produce which is labeled Organic is imported from China. Who knows what organic means to them? Human waste is organic and is used in Asia as a fertilizer. I would not want to knowingly eat that.

Many people think that organic means that no pesticides were used, but it only means that the pesticides used came from natural products. Many natural pesticides are more toxic and broad spectrum than the newer chemical ones which can be much more narrowly targeted.

Kurt doesn't like grass now? Wow the pigs just flew over my house! <G>

Kurt doesn't do that stuff...I have first-hand knowledge.  He does do Coors Light, though, which I find to be more suspect.

Ahhh that's why I homebrew so I can leave some Coors Light for Kurt. Because living up in Oregon they have a shortage of craft breweries you know <G>.
