800 grams isn't even a roast, that's a large steak for one, a small
steak for two... had I ground it I could make two of my usual 14 ounce
burgers, barely considering the rib bone and trimmings. I would never
buy an 800 gm piece of standing rib, I've never seen one so small in
the meat display. I don't consider any hunk of meat under 3 pounds a
roast, and that's barely a roast... I wouldn't light my oven for less
than 5 pounds... even chicken has to be a 6 pound oven roaster, with
three pound chickens I always roast two, one is only enough for a
small pot of chicken and rice, but now that I think about it I don't
remember ever making chicken with rice with less than two fryers or
one oven roaster. An 800 gm piece of standing rib is a snackipoo for
a beagle.
