Meat: Amazingly Awesome or Incredibly Spectacular?
Let’s be honest, meat is a very nice treat. Delicious and scrumptious, almost everybody loves some good meat. One of the beauties of the food is the variety on offer. There is an almost unending menagerie of meats that people can pick. There is seafood like shark, tuna or turtle. Then there is steak, which also can be served and cut in many different fashions. Two excellent choices of steak types are porterhouse and filet mignon. Other than that there is chicken, which also is done differently all the time. Finally, possibly the most popular kind of meat, while technically not it’s own type, is the burger. Burgers of course come from cows like steaks do but are generally a different cut.
One of the most popular types of meat in America is seafood. While some don’t consider fish to be meat, as it is eaten by very lenient herbivores, since it is the flesh of another animal most people do recognize it as a meat product. Some of the most in demand sea creatures in the country are salmon, swordfish, and tuna. These three fish have very dissimilar tastes. Salmon is known for its “fishy” taste. While that might not make sense to an herbivore, an experienced meat eater will get the idea. The others however do not taste like many think fish would and taste like any number of assorted animals that could be found on land.
Another extremely popular type of meat is chicken. Like with fish, chicken comes in many special ways . One popular way to prepare chicken is by frying it. This is what is seen all across the country at Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. Probably second on the list of favorite cooking techniques would be barbecue. Barbecuing is a big time tradition in the South and many states like Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia each believe they have the best barbeque. The world will certainly never figure out which state really is the greatest, to the dismay of people worldwide of course.
Finally, the most popular type of meat in America, and possibly the world, is probably from a cow. Hamburgers are a phenomena the world over. Almost everybody loves a well cooked hamburger. While hamburger is somewhat of a misnomer, since the meat isn’t ham, that hasn’t stopped it from becoming the most beloved meat certainly this side of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Burger toppings are extremely important, as they can make or break the taste of the burger. Many people prefer cheese, while others have a hankering for only veggies on their burger. In the sub category of cheese one can generally select from American, pepper jack, or sometimes others like cheddar or Swiss. For the proverbial cherry to top the sundae a lot of people go for some mayonnaise or ketchup.
Many people enjoy non vegetarian meals. Meat is delicious and what many people don’t realize is that it can very much be a part of a healthy diet. So, toss away the tofu and stop munching on just carrots and celery. Throw some meat in there, don’t be afraid of a little protein.
