Was this a me thing or a you thing?
First that Tumbleweeds strip, and now this. I just don’t understand anything here anymore.
You told me you loved me.
You should have seen through him 
Since, she is paying for it, I would imagine she can have it any way she wants.
The OP didn’t give an age for this woman, but she has been eating without our help for however long and probably knows what she likes.
Really? I can buy filet mignon at fucking Walmart. Every single day. It’s not unicorn meat.
Besides, everyone knows you need to cook unicorn all the way through lest you come down with glitter poisoning.
I have posted several times that I just don’t do humor very well.
He should have known.
Everything I ever buy at Walmart is made in China.
I think I’ll steer clear of their filet mignon.
I refuse to cow tow to Walmart.
Mooooo!
We got a nice little meat market near me and they have filet for 9.99 a pound a lot. I get a pound and have two meals. It’s as cheap or cheaper than many other options. You do eat the whole half pound, no bones or gristle.
I said that I can buy filet mignon at Walmart, not that I do. Anyway, I don’t buy filet.
I buy ribeye steaks from a local farmer who hand feeds them blades of grass that he individually shears until the cows get old enough that he feeds them corn that he grows in his field and he plucks each kernel from the cob by hand and dries each one in natural sunlight. Before the slaughter he sits down with each cow and tells them how much he enjoyed their time together and how sad he is that their time on this planet is over. Then he personally slices each of their jugular veins with tears in his eyes. If you cook his cows over medium rare, he will murder you.
True story.
that doesn’t bug me. it’s your money, and you’re the one eating it.
what does irritate me is people who have to be picky or demanding about everything.
If that is really true, it is the saddest thing.
But if it’s not true, it is the funniest thing.
If you have not seen it you have to watch the first episode of Portlandia.
Are you talking about those weird little pre-packaged hockey-puck filets that you find wrapped with bacon, or are you talking about something else? I haven’t seen anything but the hockey-puck ones at the grocery store in a long time.
And if it is those, you have to be careful. They are often marketed as filet, but not specifically filet mignon or a tenderloin cut. I bought a package at Aldi like that once and was WTF when I bit into it. Whatever it is, it is not tenderloin. I’d guess eye of round or something. I seem to recall Meijer’s version of this stating the cut on the back of the packaging. It’s marketed as “beef filet,” but “filet” need not specifically refer to a tenderloin cut.
And this is also where you can definitely tell how two similarly lean cuts of meat like filet mignon and eye of round cook up to well done. Filet still remains fairly tender and does not turn into the inedible hockey puck that that most useless cut of eye of round turns into.
No, I’m talking about regular shrink wrapped, Cryovac sealed or meat case steaks. Prime certified cuts are hard to come by in grocery stores and even butcher stores but USDA Choice tenderloin steaks are readily available. If you’re going to argue that a center cut tenderloin steak differs from the tail cut “true” filet mignon, I would counter with the fact that tail cut steaks don’t portion or present well and nearly 100% of the time you order a filet mignon steak in a US restaurant, you will be served center cut tenderloin.
The fact is, tail cut and butt cut of a tenderloin vary in diameter too much to maintain a consistent thickness in portion controlled steaks, which is how they’re sold in restaurants. If you’re ordering a dish described as filet mignon medallions you may be getting honest-to-god, Le Cordon Bleu approved, Filet Mignon. Maybe. If you order a 6oz. or 8oz. filet mignon, it is almost 100% guaranteed to be a center cut tenderloin steak and that is not a misrepresentation. It’s the accepted definition of a filet mignon steak here.
