Thread: Beef alternative

^
Stop horsing around

Looks like someone in Europe tested out that horse option

Thai beef doesn't taste like real beef anyway so no need to look for a beef alternative. Just make sure you buy Thai beef.

Squirrel is very nice.

so is rat

or guinea pig

Would there be a market for something like that ?

Welcome to the Codex Alimentarius!

There is good beef in Thailand. Its all about where you get it from. There are different classifications as to quality, just as there is in the UK, US and Japan. Do you want prime, choice, select or just a teenage cow? Get what you pay for. Its all about the marbling of fat in the meat. More marbling equals better beef. In the US, Kobi beef steaks sell for over $25/pound. Select steaks are approx $6/pound.

I've heard that horse makes an excellent substitute for beef.

i would not want to try rat, Guinea pig, hell yeah very nice,

Rat is the poor man's chicken.

Taste very similar.

And guinea pig is the traditional dish of Ecuador.
I wanted to try but that day the police confiscated my rented car...

Camel meat is quite nice looks like beef only thing gives it away is the grain large gaps then beef when cooked.

Had a LLama steak in south America before. Was tasty alright and texture like beef steak. Suppose would be similar animal to camel ?

Think they have abattoirs in Australia especially for wild feral Camel. Not sure where they have market for the meat. It might be shipped to USA ?

Nope, camel is not shipped to the US. Goat meat is. Maybe some ostrich or emus. But not camel. Can't even eat a horse here. Which is quite strange. Until recently, slaughtering a horse was illegal. Cruelty to animals is what the bleeding hearts said. So, it was better to let the poor bastards starve to death in the pasture? Thankfully, that law was changed. Still don't eat it here. Export it to Belgium and France.

Camel meat could become newest Australian export | Reuters
