I just couldn't help myself when that was the first thought to pop into my head and I was sitting here laughing and worrying my poor cats with still more Kirkian strangeness in the night. :)

Kobe beef is just the type of beef... I'm not too sure which dish you're referring to..from foodtv.com:
Encyclopedia
Kobe beef Definition: An exclusive grade of beef from cattle raised in Kobe, Japan. These pampered cattle are massaged with sake and fed a special diet that includes plentiful amounts of beer. This specialized treatment results in beef that is extraordinarily tender and full-flavored. It also makes the beef extravagantly expensive, which is why it's rarely available in the United States. See also beef.

7. Don't, don't, don't do THAT!!!! |
|
I haven't had beef in months (and I'm NOT gonna give in!). I want beef that comes from TESTED cattle! But, that doesn't mean that I don't crave a nice juicy burger or beef carpaccio or some of my favorite recipes that have beef as the 'main' - because I DO!!! But, I won't give in....not a threat, just a promise. So, don't be so cruel and bring this kind of temptation around. Dedicate your efforts to demanding TESTED CATTLE!!! (please :smile:)

9. Well, even a REAL butcher, few that are left.... |
|
...only know so much. Of course they're gonna say that they have a 'good' supplier....nice guy/good deals/yada yada...all, most likely TRUE. But that has NOTHING to do with the issue of BSE within the meat/cattle.

BSE is not in meat. It is in the brain and spinal tissue.
That's why you don't get mad cow from steaks, you get it from burgers -- who knows what's in the burger?
Your butcher, that's who.
If they grind their meat on-site, they can know if there's any spinal or brain tissue in there. Therefore, they can ensure that there's no BSE prions.

15. You can get it from steaks |
|
If it was cut with the same tools that cut the ground beef or spinal cords.
However, if you get your beef from a trusted supplier (Niman Ranch is one) that guarantees the cattle is grass or corn fet, not fed bi-products (read: other cows) BSE is not a worry, even from ground beef.
Oh and Niman Ranch treats their cows far better too...

12. Find a halal butcher in your area. |
|
Halal beef is, by Muslim law, organic, and the cattle are not fed ANY dead animals (unlike major factory cattle farms, where other cattle are ground up and added to feed), so the chance of contracting CJD from halal beef is essentially nil.
Also, halal is cheaper (at least where I am...tenderloin filet is $3.99/lb.)

10. He's a Laker...how many lakes in LA...enough said...I hate the Lakers... |

Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 12:53 AM by Zinfandel
LA has no football team, so they spend every dollar to buy basketball...sour grapes on my part...I'm from N CA, so guess who I painfully go through each season with?
Oh yeah, I don't like little "Kobe" nor big O'Neal, nor any Laker, nor any LA teams, do they have any others? The Dodgers, Kings, what a joke.

11. Kobe beef really is as good as they say |
|
but I've never eaten it raw, only charcoal broiled or in shabu-shabu (do-it-yourself beef hot pot).
It practically melts in your mouth.
