  • Where's the Beef? Communicating Vegetarianism in Mainstream America
    Where’s the Beef? Communicating Vegetarianism in Mainstream America ALLISON WALTER Produced in Mary Tripp’s Spring 2013 ENC 1102 Introduction “Engaging in non-mainstream behavior can be challenging to negotiate communicatively, especially when it involves the simple but necessary task of eating, a lifelong activity that is often done in others’ company,” argue researchers Romo and Donovan-Kicken (405). This can be especially true for vegetarians in America. The American view of a good and balanced meal includes a wide array of meats that have become standard on most all of the country's dinner tables. When it comes to eating in American society today, fruits and vegetables come to mind as side dishes or snacks, not the main course. Vegetarians challenge this expectation of having meat as an essential component of survival by adopting a lifestyle that no longer conforms to the norms of society as a whole. Although vegetarians can be seen as “healthy deviants”—people who violate social norms in relatively healthy ways—they are faced with the burden of stigmatization by those who cannot see past their views of conformity (Romo and Donovan-Kicken 405). This can lead to a continuous battle for vegetarians where they are questioned and scrutinized for their decisions only because they are not the same as many of their peers. The heaviest load that individuals who decide to deviate from the norms of a given society have to carry is attempting to stay true to themselves in a world that forces them to fit in. Culture, Society, and Food One of the largest and most complex factors that contribute to food choice is society and the cultures within that society that certain groups of people hold close to them (Jabs, Sobal, and Devine 376).

  • Spicy Beef Tongue Stew
    Spicy Beef Tongue Stew Serves six 1 beef tongue – trimmed 1 celery stalk 1 small carrot – halved 2 garlic cloves – peeled and smashed + 1 for the chilies 4 fresh thyme sprigs 1 small white onion – peeled and halved + ½ for the chilies 1 chili pepper – halved 6 red chilies (aji Colorado or aji Panka) or 3 Guajillos, 3 Ancho and 3 chile Arbol 1 TBS cumin 1 tsp. salt 1/8 cup canola oil ¼ cup peas (can be thawed frozen ones or fresh) 1 large carrot – peeled and cut into sticks Salt & Pepper Rinse the trimmed beef tongue and place it in a pressure cooker. Add the celery, onion, carrot, garlic cloves, thyme and chili pepper. Cook for about 1 hour – after the pressure cooker starts making noise. While the tongue is cooking – stem the dry chili pods. Cut them in the middle and seed them. Char them by placing them directly on an open flame. If you do not have a gas stove, go ahead and press them down on a dry, hot skillet until they blister. Place the charred chilies in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for about 25 to 30 minutes. Once soaked, place them in a blender with the remaining onion, garlic and cumin. Add about 1 cup of the soaking liquid and blend until you have a smooth paste with no chili chunks. Once the tongue is cooked – cool down the pressure cooker completely and remove them. Do not discard the cooking liquid. Cool them down and peel them by pulling on the skin and membrane on the meat.

Some are surprised at the quantity of meat and amount of freezer space they need. Others may be surprised that they did not get the entire live weight of the animal in meat cuts. The amount of meat actually available from a beef animal is a frequent source of misunderstanding between consumers, processors and cattle producers. This document provides information to assist in the understanding of how much meat to expect from a beef carcass. The information provided here should be helpful to consumers who purchase a live animal for freezer beef and to cattle producers involved in direct and retail meat marketing. 2 University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture How Much Meat to Expect from a Beef Carcass Dressing Percentage One of the terms used in the cattle and meat cutting industry that often leads to misunderstanding is dressing percentage. The dressing percentage is the portion of the live animal weight that results in the hot carcass.

  • Tongue by Jennifer Mclagan from Odd Bits: How to Cook
    Tongue By Jennifer McLagan from Odd Bits: How to Cook the Rest of the Animal How to Choose: The world of tongues is vast. Duck tongues, popular in Asian cuisines, are tiny and have a small bone that makes them fiddly. In this section, I limit myself to beef, veal, lamb, and pork tongues; if you have access to game animals, don’t hesitate to use their tongues in these recipes. The bigger the tongue, the coarser its texture, so I prefer tongues around 31/3 pounds /1.5 kg or less, as their texture is finer. While veal tongues are the most prized, beef, lamb, and pork tongues are all worth eating. Tongues can be bought fresh, frozen, brined, and sometimes smoked. Often your only choice will be a frozen one, especially with beef or veal tongue. The color of a tongue can vary from pink with a gray cast to almost all gray. Sometimes the skin of the tongue is quite mottled, often with odd dark spots. The color and the dark patches are no indication of quality; they are just a result of the animal’s breed. Tongues have a thick, bumpy skin, and often there is fat and gristle still attached at the base of the tongue, none of which is very appealing and all of which is easily removed after the tongue is poached. Besides availability, taste and size will influence your choice. Veal and lamb tongues are the mildest in taste, followed by beef and pork tongue. Pork tongue often comes with the head, and I prefer it in headcheese rather than by itself.

It was cited that agriculture accounts for 70% of the earth’s freshwater, 38% of total land use, 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Shockingly, half of the crops produced were directed to the raising of livestock (UNEP report, 2010).

  • Corned Beef Cooking Instructions
    Corned Beef Cooking Instructions Traditional Cooking: 3 1/2 Hours Remove the brisket from the marinade and rinse it thoroughly. Place it in a large stock pot and add just enough water to cover it and throw in a carrot, an onion and a stalk of celery. Cover the pot and turn the heat on high until it comes to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the beef for at least three hours or until the meat is soft and tender when poked with a fork. Drain and slice thinly. Pressure Cooking: 1 Hour Place a rinsed corned beef brisket into the steaming basket of your pressure cooker. Sprinkle it with a little garlic salt and add 2 cups of water to the bottom of the pot. Secure the lid, shutting it firmly and place the pressure relief valve on top. Turn the heat on medium or until the pressure reading stays around 15 pounds of pressure. Cook the beef for an hour. Cool it down, open the lid and add potatoes, carrots and cabbage and close. Bring the pressure back up for 5 minutes to cook the vegetables and then cool again. Oven Method: 4 Hours Heat your oven to 300 degrees F. Rinse the corned beef and place in a shallow baking dish. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Cover the pan with foil and place in the oven to bake for about 4 hours.
