What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

That's Warpony Chug!

Warren, I was just about to post a picture of some spoiled lamb shank that I picked up at the grocers the other day. But without the terrible smell, it lacks the same impact.

 

[warren]

Ah, the smell of spoiling flesh. Bear bait! The reason the French developed so many sauces, to cover the smell of rancid meat.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Mmm... Spoiled French meat in a special sauce...

When does Chili become Soup, or more importantly when does Stew turn to baccy?

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Chili is already a stew.

I certainly wouldn't bring the issue up with the members of the site. Why would they care?

Yeah - It's like that. This is not one of the issues in my life I need the counsel of others to navigate.

Warpony Bar?

Hahaha!

I'm a meat cutter for a grocery store. I want to see it! :mrgreen:

Eventually it just starts to sound like the whimperings of over-privileged, entitled consumers with too much time on their hands. And by eventually, I mean three months ago.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Anthony, I always befriend my local butchers or meat cutters. I have a specific preferences, and I am an over-privilege, entitled consumer. But, I tip well. ::

One wonders why they sold you spoiled meat, then. :wink:

Ha ha, ummm... hmmmm... ::

I'm still confused by the fact that a standing rib roast can be sold as a "Prime Rib" when in fact it is graded less than prime. Now, when I order I have to specify to the butcher that I wish to buy a standing rib which is graded prime. I'm offended by this attack on my sensibilities.
And, do not get me started on my experiences in trying to purchase "Canadian Bacon" in Canada. One can purchase Canadian bacon in Canada for sure. Canadian Bacon may be purchased in Canada, just do not ask for it in those terms. Canadian bacon is good. Canadian Bacon is also good. But, Canadian Bacon is not Canadian bacon.

"I'm just going to state for the record that I do indeed want a free pony. "

Finally, someone who doesn't f*&k around. We're all sold out of ponies at the moment, but we do have three different Horses for you that are worth trying. If you find any mold in those tins, it's because we put it there. Sort of a Willy Wonka promotion. Find the tin that's chock full o' Golden Mold, win a tour of the Standard Tobacco Factory and a chance to become our next Chairman of the Board.
Further, I can state unequivocally that there is not, never has been and never will be any mold in the Standard Tobacco Factory. Because we don't have a factory. And we don't have a Chairman of the Board, either. Neat how we avoided that problem, eh?

I didn't mean to start a shit storm here

Damn...that's a great name for a blend... Shitstorm
Now, can I tell you how offended I am at getting three free tins of tobacco from P&C/CI?

You and I went to the same school of thought on this sort of thing. Words should mean things. That's what they're for. We shouldn't be calling wine with bubbles Champagne unless it comes from Champagne. Nor should we call whisky Scotch unless it's from Scotland. Nor should we call Perique... well you get the idea.

If it is not indeed "Prime" they should never classify it as such. They can get a very hefty fine for that. Our problem as meatcutters is explaining to the customers, especially this time of year, that what the customer considers a prime rib roast is nothing more than a rib roast. Prime is a grade, not a product. Most don't get that. My company mainly carries "Choice" (others carry select because they suck) but we do get Prime especially for the holidays.
Woodsroad, I would try Shitstorm if you want to blend it. I prefer it without mold, however.

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Explain to them that you'll be happy to sell them a "Prime Rib Roast," but they may not be happy to buy it.

 

[woodsroad]

But, Canadian Bacon is not Canadian bacon.

Dear Lord, I had that problem with cheese, too. Don't ask for American Cheese in Canada. It incites furtive glances. Canadian Cheese and Pea Meal Bacon. It's all about controlling the language without effecting real change.

Then you will never be the Chairman of the Board of Standard Tobacco, will you?

 

[pipesmokingtom]

We get a lot of Casino Buffets here in Reno offering "Prime Rib" at the cutting station. SUUUUUURE.

Wait... I'm confused. Do I want to be Chairman of the board?
