> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > Oh, I got you, now: there is a company that makes microwavable ribs (the name is something like “Butler”); they come in a long, flat package with a thick rubber band and you roll them into a cylinder and you buzz them and they’re DELISH! Especially when you REALLY gotta have ribs but don’t have the time. One caveat–VERY high sodium. Check 'em out. Available on your grocer’s can. Shame, Sir or Madame! And you from Texas! :dubious: I have eaten Lloyd’s pulled pork. Sometimes things like that have a chemical or preservative “cold cut” taste to them. Meat that has been microwaved has a terrible taste for me. Perhaps it is the same taste defect that causes me to like cilanro. ---

Woman is damn luck it was just a flying brisket. An angry brisket will fuck you up. An we won’t even think about what happens when an attack brisket comes after you. Briskets. The honey badgers of the culinary world. ---

Can’t find a cite, but years ago in Texas someone entered a chili cook off and wandered around getting a sample of everyone’s chili, mixed it up and passed it off as his entry as a joke. He won, and laughed as he told everyone what he’d done. Didn’t go over very well… I think the judges wanted him exiled. ---

Sometimes things like that have a chemical or preservative “cold cut” taste to them. Meat that has been microwaved has a terrible taste for me. Perhaps it is the same taste defect that causes me to like cilanro. Not a native Texan/southerner (MD, originally). Now, if you could BBQ a halibut steak, you’d be my bestest friend. To be sure, the pulled pork is sometimes not up to snuff. Loved the ribs 20+ years ago, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the quality has slipped in the interim. WAIT A MINUTE!!..Since when do plants have taste buds? 😃 ---

Makes sense that it’s an estimated temperature; if it had a thermometer in it, she’d probably have been hurt a lot worse. Good news being that the EMTs wouldn’t have had to take her temperature! ---

“Owings was charged with 2nd degree wanton endangerment.” Well, if that don’t beat all. Poor woman gets taken down by hot meat and they assume she’s a wanton. ---
