What is the Best Meat?

[Mr Janny]

I disagree. Chops or loins will not replace a steak hamburger for a burger is also unique. I say this unfortunately as a hog farmer.

wrong

You're a traitor to your profession.

Pork is the correct answer because it's so versatile. Pork can do everything beef can, and then some.

beef ribs >>> pork ribs

Pork has bacon going for it though.

Shellfish are top notch, as well.

I cant eat medium rare pork.....well I could, but it wouldnt be satisfying at all.

maybe not medium rare, but you can definitely do medium, and it's fantastic.

Have to go beef because it includes veal. Veal is the correct option and there isn't discussion to be had here.

Guess I can list veal in the I never thread.

Gonzo is voting pork.

Yeah my loins (ha ha....ha ha) are around there when I cook them. But you dont get to enjoy that bloody flavor from pork like you do from red meat. As disturbing as that sounds.

This is a complex question. I can't make a broad statement like "beef is better than any other meat".

A great steak is better than a pork chop, but pork ribs are way better than beef ribs.

Certain cuts of fish are better than any steak I've ever had, but I can't do nearly with a fish what I can with a side of beef/pork.

Every type of farm raised poultry is kinda similar tasting, but introduce the fryer and its gods winged gift to the people.

Shellfish is wonderful, but we don't live in a good place for great shellfish.

I think I like all the meets/fish for one reason or another.

My only conclusion, f*** being a vegan. That would be terrible

If I were just handed a random raw meat and had to make a meal, I'd most prefer pork because there is so much you can do with it. And bacon is good, but sausage is great.

I LOVE shellfish, but there's only so much you can do with them. Same for fish. Though I bet I could eat a lot of smoked salmon before getting tired of it.

Beef is a great utilitarian meat, but the only time I think about great beef flavor is from a good medium to medium rare steak. And I'm the only one in the family that will eat a steak less than well done so I don't get that very often.

Chicken is okay and can be great, but it's easy to overcook and dry out. My wife and mother in law apparently love leather-tough chicken, because they've never made it any other way. I've gotten pretty good at moist grilled or pan fried chicken, but still occasionally end up with a dry mess. Turkey is worse than chicken.

I like game meats, but they're much harder to come by especially since I'm not a hunter. But I have had pheasant, duck, goose, venison, frogs, rabbit and squirrel.

As one of the few resident females, your input on the best meat is important.

That's true. But I'm not foolish enough to answer it and either seem like a big old forum-slut, or alienate a big group of people! I mean, because so many people like beef over chicken.

Attaboy. I was thinking of you!

beef ribs >>> pork ribs

Pork overall is a subpar meat to beef, but I can't even with your grossly inaccurate description of ribs. Ribs are the one place where pork just kicks beef's ass.

 

[CycloneWanderer]

Alligator is just a better chicken.

 

[Ry4Cy]

For the record I like all of those except for rabbit. I have never had rabbit. But If I had every single type of meat cooked in front of me and I could only eat one, I would pick bacon and eat it until I passed out. For that reason I choose pork.

 

[MeanDean]

Picked beef, but like others, probably eat more chicken and pork

And Pork ribs >>>Beef ribs

Gator tastes like spoiled chicken. Like if you set chicken out overnight with a fish laying on top of it, then cooked and ate it.

1) prime rib, cooked rare
2) fresh caught wild trout (preferably cooked next to the stream they were previously swimming in
3) My mother's fried chicken
