Just inquiring,
Chicken:
1. When did chicken breasts get as large as turkey breasts, and why?
2. Why do they take the skins off the chicken breasts? Don't people singe chicken anymore? In soups, it's the skin that gives most of the flavor.
Beef:
1. Remember the USDA shield stickers they used to put on packages of beef? Why don't they do that anymore? I like to know if the beef I buy is choice or select.
2. After my pot roast and my swiss steak ( both cooked low and slow) came out like rubber tires,(completely inedible) a spasm from a very old part of my brain brought 2 revelations. First, The local market buys the cheapest meat they can get and secondly, I'm less than 100 miles from the El paso/Juarez border. I asked the manager. "Is your meat from Mexico?
"Yes, Most of it."
"So it's not inspected or graded?"
"I don't know."
"Do You have any beef from the United States?"
"Yes, Some."
"Is it USDA graded choice?"
"We only buy select."
O.K., Got my answers about the beef. I've looked on line and can't seem to find out about the USDA stickers. Does anyone know?
