Burnt Ends Of Beef...

[Chipchopper]

seems to be all the rage at the moment.
Has anyone here tried it or recommend it ?

[NoMercy]

Eugh, no thanks.

[snags]

Nothing new: my Mother has been cremating all types of meat for decades. The slightest sign of anything resembling slightly 'pink' and back in the oven it goes.

I got some from the deli counter in Tesco. I usually enjoy their meat but I was totally unimpressed. Even my Avatar turned his nose up at it and Frankie likes his food

[EDDIE51]

Never heard of it , I prefer rare.

[yogi-bear]

Your Mother should meet my wife, snagsy :-)

[snags]

Pfeiffer doppelgänger does burnt? Surely not...

[Old_Geezer]

I've not tried it but seen in on the TV food programmes. Done in a smoker isn't it ? Looked good to me.

[Mamyalynne]

I've never heard of them either, just finished my meal of home cooked brisket - deliciously tender and tasty.

[Berniecuddles2]

had them at a barbecue in Florida wonderful taste had a few

[TonyV]

Mama brisket is so nice if it's cooked slowly

[yogi-bear]

She does burnt really well...even more Pfeiffer-like as she gets older, snags....her Mum looks like Candice Bergen, her Dad split image of Robert Wagner......Austin Powers keeps popping in my images when I see him.....bit like Reggie Perrin seeing a hippo when MIL mentioned. :-)

sounds like a candidate for a one way ticket to Geneva....

[Tilly2]

I don't like burnt meat but I selfishly always put the outside, crusty slices of roast beef on my plate.

[diddlydo]

That's fine Tilly - you have the overdone outside and leave me the still-mooing inside slices!

[ummmm]

I give any crispy bits to the cat.

[mccfluff]

yum, i love the burnt bits and the rare bits too, i'll just eas it all

[EcclesCake]

It does seem to be a trend with the upsurgence of smoke houses and BBQ vans, pop ups and restaurants.

I can't say I've found it unpleasant. I too like the first cut from a joint of beef but mine is is still pink at the very least.

Recent research suggests that the ultra-brown/burned bits of toast and meat are carcinogenic.

[pastafreak]

That research seems to point towards starchy food rather than protein rich foods( which can also be a problem, but only if eaten in huge quantities).
