BERIGAN Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) Do ya know what I mean? You buy some expensive deli meat at your friendly neighborhood supermarket, you get home, and find a coppery, rainbowy film on the meat. Light has to hit it just right. It turns me off most of the time. I see it in ham, Roast beef, and now for the first time, Turkey! Well, my Mom thinks it's no big deal unless it is all over the meat, not just the corners...I ate it this time...cuz I was hungry! So....what is it? Is it safe? I figure it has something to do with the meat not being kept cold enough at the store/age. IF only tofu tasted better, I'd give up beef..... Edited August 30, 2004 by BERIGAN Quote

WD45 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 As a former butcher, I can attest to the OK-ness of iridescent meat. If you don't trust me [and you should, I was once a butcher], then you can dig on this: IRIDESCENCE IN RAW AND COOKED MEATS Quote
7/4 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Iridescence in meats, specifically beef, can be detected in some of the muscle tissues of some animals before and after rigor mortis. yum! Quote
WD45 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Iridescence in meats, specifically beef, can be detected in some of the muscle tissues of some animals before and after rigor mortis. yum! Mmm...rigor mortis... Quote

AmirBagachelles Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 That rainbow means the meat has been blessed by Jesse Jackson. If you consume enough of it, you'll discover kindness, compassion and social equity, so keep eating. Quote

JSngry Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 I played a gig this past Saturday with a pretty trumpet good player from San Antonio who told be that he was going swimming in some river somewhere a few years ago, and just before he jumped in, he looked up and saw seven rainbows in the sky in some geometrically symetrical patter, with a round one in the middle of it all. Then, he said, three homeless guys showed up out of nowhere, told him that he was looking at "Yahweh's eye", that it meant that God was watching him, and then they disappeared. So maybe God is watching your lunch meat. Can't hurt! Quote

If the supermarket is in Midtown Atlanta it's probably a gay pride thing. Edited August 30, 2004 by DTMX Quote
Guest Chaney Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Look, just say the word and I'm sure me and the other (superior, of course) non-meat eating members of this board would be glad to post a few tofu recipes. Quote

Guest Chaney Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Yep! An Easter season recipe. You color the tofu just as you would an egg. Quote
