Husband eats what if he has to? He doesn't prefer it and you dont' like it
at all, what? You just got done saying you've never bought a standing rib
roast (you even asked how many bones were in it sheesh).....The OP said the
meat was at such a cheap price that he was sure it was USDA "Select", hence
the comments about a "livery taste" because as another poster said SELECT
OFTEN IS LIVERY. So, in the space of a few posts, you go from not knowing
what a standing rib roast is, expressing your ubiquitous "Ew" in response to
someone commenting about a livery flavor, to saying that your husband will
eat it if he has to but he doesn't prefer it and you don't like it at all,
even though YOU'VE NEVER BOUGHT OR MADE ONE AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT ONE
LOOKED LIKE BECAUSE YOU ASKED HOW MANY BONES THERE WERE. So, what is it? Do
you even bother to read before you start forming your dumb posts? God!
Shut the hell up and just go away, you annoying nitwit.

I did not know what it was. I do know what Prime rib is. And there was one
occasion where if we wanted to eat, we ate that. SIL made dinner
reservations at a fancy hotel. They did not have a normal menu. They had
Prime rib. You could add a lobster tail to this meal if you wanted. And
there may have been a choice of soup or salad. I don't remember that. But
there were no other food options. To make matters worse, she kept having
some sort of delays and kept calling the restaurant changing our
reservations. It was in some other city that we were not familiar with. By
the time we were seated for dinner it was about 10:00 p.m. so going
somewhere else was not an option.

When husband and I both mentioned that we did not like Prime rib, she just
shrugged and said that she thought everyone liked it! I know that I had
tried it prior but I can't remember where. I was a vegetarian at the time
as well. I did ask if I could order just a baked potato but that was not an
option. You were required to purchase the whole dinner. In the end, I
think SIL was the only one satisfied with the meal. I don't think my BIL
was thrilled with it either. And the meal IIRC was $24.95 unless you added
the lobster tail which my husband and SIL both did. That jacked the price
up a lot more.

The meal was nothing special either. Just the big slab of meat on the plate
and the potato. I think there was horseradish and perhaps some au jus and
there may have been rolls or bread but I rarely eat those things. I just
remember paying all that money for essentially what was a baked potato. Not
even a large baked potato or even a good one. It was just warm. Not even
hot! I did not touch my meat. SIL told me I should get a doggie bag for
it. And I was like... Why? Nobody will eat it later! And it was true.
Husband ate some of his meat because he was hungry but he didn't finish it.
And the only time he doesn't finish something is if he *really* doesn't like
it.

Other family members were actually shocked that he didn't like it because he
love loves big slabs of meat. I don't know what it is for him that he does
not like. For me it is the texture mainly. You just chew it and chew it
and it never seems to go anywhere. Plus it is generally served rare and I
don't like rare meat. I think my SIL wound up taking my meat home. And
then when we finally got back to where we were staying, I had to make
something else for husband and I to eat because we were still hungry!

SIL did not live that one down for a while. Each time she suggested a new
place to eat, my BIL would be like... Do they have an actual menu? Do we
get a choice of food? Heh.
