If you had to make a choice--much like the choices those living in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all--and could select only one choice of meat, which one would it be?

Of course, in the socialist paradises, one has to simply take what's there, whereas we have choices here.

As a Nebraskan, I'm one of the biggest boosters of beef, but personally, if I had only one choice, I'd select poultry. I could eat turkey 365 days a year and never get tired of it.

I suspect it's some sort of childhood trauma, where the family seemed to monotonously and invariably dine on steaks and somesuch; I just got tired of it.

There are times when I absolutely crave red meat.... I want a ribeye or a NY strip or prime rib. I never crave poultry or pork...I may want it, but not crave it.

The other half wouldn't care if he ever had beef with the exceptions of hamburger. He loves hamburgers.

What a scary thought.

I haven't voted yet. I like good beef but I get tired of eating cheap red meat all the time, not to mention the beating your lower intestine will take. Chicken is always an excellent second choice. Fish is nice but does that include other seafood -- crab, lobster, big juicy scallops, and shrimp? I'd get damn tired of eating nothing but tilapia or carp.

Beef without a doubt.

Okay, I read the poll (damn beer goggles). I vote seafood, as long it doesn't kill me. Bring on the lobster and scallops.

Someone other than myself had edited the beef question, and I re-edited it so as to clarify.

I edited the dead fish question.

Tough choice.

I'd have to go with poultry, though pork is a great meat - it's inexpensive and tasty. Chicken and turkey are great eats, but I can get tired of working my way around the feathers.

Beef is pricey (even the less tender cuts compared to pork) and it beats up my lower bowel, as Chris pointed out.

I eat steak very rarely - most of the beef I eat is in the form of ground chuck.

I'm going with seafood. I adore beef, but I'm a huge fan of seafood and I think it would be more varied.

If it swims or if you need a large bib, a pair of pliers, and a hacksaw to eat the damned thing, I don't want anything to do with it.

I don't have any digestive problems with beef. I just won't eat it if it's cooked more than barely medium on a hamburger, or much beyond rare on steak or prime rib. I have no problem sending it back if it's overcooked.

I do like pork and chicken and I really like rack of lamb or lamb chops depending on how they are cooked. I like it medium rare and with a garlic peppercorn rub....no mint. I ordered them one time in a restaurant that decided to switch that night from the garlic peppercorn to a thick crust of fresh mint. They had really low lighting....and I had had a couple of martinis.....they were sooooo gross.

Pork. Ham. BACON! I love a sweet, juicy pig!

Crazy Horse · « **Reply #12 on:** October 17, 2009, 08:04:10 AM »

Y'all know how I voted........

IassaFTots · « **Reply #13 on:** October 17, 2009, 08:56:04 AM »

I voted pork, because I can't imagine a life without bacon.

So if that is I had, could I be friends with the beef and the seafood? We could have potluck. Everyone knows that steak and shellfish taste so much better with bacon wrapped around it.

I will pass on the chicken.

I'd have to pick the pig...I can't live w/o bacon

Beef. It's what's for dinner.

I chose beef but after considering it some more, I think I would change my vote to salmon.

Beef!!!

With garlic and butter sauteed mushrooms.

jtyangel · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2009, 04:38:55 PM »

Would have to be beef for me. I love chicken, but I get tired of it quicker then I do beef in all its varieties.

One of these days, I'm going to have to take a trip to Texas and try one of those monster 72-ounce steaks (medium rare). I don't care if I don't finish it, I just want to try it.
