I hated beef steak for the longest time, In my childhood beef steak was burnt hard until no taste or happiness remained.
I thought I hated beef steak.
Then my wife cooked beef rare and holy shit on a stick there's actual taste in beef.. I didn't know that until I was in my mid 20s.
Luckily my parents had the answer, They totally asked and just did what my parents wanted.
I don't talk to my parents anymore.
I had a similar experience with steaks and pork chops growing up. My dad liked his steaks well done.
I've cooked some steaks with the understanding that they can be better and they were, especially the one that I accidentally cooked perfectly. That said, I still don't get the hype steaks can get. Yes, it's better when cooked perfectly medium rare, but still not even close to a good curry or a perfectly cooked piece of breaded chicken (if you're thinking like the frozen stuff, you should try eating at a restaurant that makes its own chicken wings or strips, holy fuck is there a difference there, too). The perfectly cooked steak was even better when I put the 2nd piece in a sandwich.
It's not that beef is better than chicken, it's about variety... And how you're feeling that day...
Yeah, personal preference also. I think I rank beef below chicken, pork, and turkey, but above lamb in general, but specific dish can change that.
Though I was talking about steaks, maybe a better comparison would have been to say that I'd take a beef lo mein or a decent (beef or whatever) hamburger over a steak any day.
Sounds like you haven't had decent quality meat, which makes sense if you don't like it, because it's generally more expensive, and why would you pay more for something you don't like 😅
The point of a steak is you can actually taste the meat itself, as opposed to it being overpowered by the seasoning or sauce.
I've never had breaded chicken.. It seems like it's American version of chicken schnitzel just prepared slightly differently.
I absolutely love chicken schnitzel.
Neighborhood unions are a thing that should be normalized. Start a neighborhood union in your town today!
Wait... Isn't that exactly what an HOA is?
No. An HOA has power over you. A neighborhood union gives you power over external parties through strength in numbers.
HOA will complain you have trash on your lawn. A neighborhood union can help you take on the waste management company that keeps half ass emptying your cans and leaving the remainder blowing in the wind.
An HOA will fine you for having the police show up at your house repeatedly. A neighborhood union can help you push back against police harassment.
An HOA will tell you you can't plant veggies in your yard. A neighborhood union can join together to coordinate planting, tools, and other resources that could reduce the blight of grass farming.
An HOA is usually a compulsory organization with obligatory fees acting as a layer of government without the usual methods of redress when it's out of line. A neighborhood union is a voluntary organization created to serve a common good.
Sounds good initially, but there could be potential for a neighborhood union to behave similarly to an HOA in style small ways over time... Or decide to form an HOA...
Seems worth the risk if you have issues like that in your neighborhood and no good city council though...
We say remembory instead of memory because of a mistake my kid made as a child. And for a while my kids didn't know it was not used outside our home (I think).
My kids also thought upscalator and downscalator were actual terms too.
