I went to a slaughter house in college for a friends nutrition project.
I took the pics. She was desperate for a good grade.
It was amazing all the rows of cows aging in the fridge.

And awhile before I touched pork again.

i've been around meats of all kinds for most of my life.. my parents ran a food processing factory here, doing fish balls, sausages and such. the only thing i can't really handle is the guts.

but seeing freshly slaughtered beef is still unnerving, esp when they haven't halved it and legs haven't been removed.

And then nothing so beautiful as a fine cut of steak. I must admit I am a real carnivore.

last time i was at the pasadena one, the entire rib roast was $289 and change.. :shocked:

you could get a slice for $23.99... i've bought it once to splurge on my self and it was divine... even though i over did it and cooked it med-med. :puppydog:

Yeah I like the Pasadena one. I go to that one or the one in El Segundo/Manhattan Beach...

...The Dry-aged case at the Pasadena location will soon be renamed The Hurt Locker, given the prices.

crab guts is one thing and i've processed maybe at least 500 tons of fish myself, before my parents sold the business, over the course of 20 summers and winter breaks. i'm used to fish guts, but ... fresh cow guts is something entirely different. :beaten:

I'd have to pass on the creepy crawlies. I'd rather live off vitamin supplements and wheat grass :)

We used to live off the land when we were kids in the summer for 3 or 4 days at a time. WE were on the coast so we ate mussels and clams, dandelion salad, and berries. It was fun.

sounds like a 3 michelin star restaurant compared to what i had to eat. :shamefulcry:

Did I forget to add fresh fish? ;) I loved to fish as a kid.

i don't think i've ever caught anything that was really edible... either it was poisonous or too many bones and not worth the effort. :sweat:
