What is quite possibly the most idiotic show on television is always irritating me in one way or another, but I watch anyway because I apparently like coming into work riled up. On a good day, the nonsense makes me laugh, and on worse days, makes me want to punch the television set. Today was absolutely unacceptable and made me want to wage full out war on Texas and everybody in it.
Their guest, who fancied himself some sort of professional BBQ chef from TX, brought on a beautiful slab of brisket, and then proceeded to completely ruin it. Before serving, he cut off the fat on top, then placed it into some obstructed location off camera. I was hoping he was placing it on a low-lying tray for some reason (because he couldn’t have been throwing it away), but then he said something like, “Once you get the fat out of the way…” before instructing viewers to cut against the grain. Wait, before we get into what direction to cut the meat in, what do you mean get the fat out of the way? Why the heck would you do that?
Why does this show repeatedly bring on these types of lunatic guests and then just let them get away with it? Fucking Republicans.
This was a wonderfully delicious looking, fully prepared, ready to eat slab of meat, and the fat was thrown away. It looked so soft and tasty. And if the fat is chewy, even better! Then it’s like gum, but meat flavored.
I don’t think most people actually like to eat solid chunks of fat though. I sure hate to defend anything that was on Fox and Friends but I’m not seeing the problem here.
Pssht, it was the fat off the top. While cutting your little diagonal slabs, leave some fat on the end. What’s wrong with that? Throwing it away made me cry. FTR, I’d eat a chunk of brisket fat, but of course, I’m a ridiculous human being who thinks all foods would be embiggened if covered in fat and/or butter, or by being deep fried.
Personally, that particular texture quality makes some of us want to spew. Different people have different opinions on the proper way to prepare stuff.
Quality preparation means working along a logical path towards a particular goal. So long as the person is actually doing that, and there are people who appreciate that goal, there’s little room to complain except for that you’re a SUV person where they’re rive burner people.
