I don't actually remember the last time I purchased pre-ground beef. Maybe
1999? Pretty sure I bought some at Fred Meyer and thought it was disgusting,
vowing to never buy industrial hamburger again. For whatever reason, the
smell of the grease kind of nauseated me.

On the odd occasion when I need it I have my meat guy grind it for me. When
it cooks it smells like good beef should.

Hasta,
Curt Nelson

If we could just irradiate meat which has long been proven safe, we
wouldn't have places resorting to this kind of crap. Of course the
anti-nuke loons hear "irradiate" and start whining, without the
intelligence to even understand that there are different types of
radiation.

Oddly enough I ground some beef fresh and made burgers last night.
Grinder to super hot charcoal grill in just a minute or two, wonderful
stuff.

Well for sure don't use the word, "jizzy." Some folks get awfully
offended.

That wasn't quite the direction I was going, but thanks.

frankly, i'm surprised macdougal's messes with the stuff. i mean, the food
they serve may not taste all that good, but it's usually 'wholesome' (with
the possible exception of the 'milk' shakes). i guess '100 percent pure
beef' covers a multitude of sins.

It's the USDA's definition of 100% pure beef that is at fault. They use our
tax dollars to protect agrobiz and the meat industry, not us.

Coincidently, I watched 'Food, Inc' the other night which featured an
interview with Eldon Roth, the owner of BPI. He was touting how safe the
process was and bragging he had licked the whole e-coli 'thing'.

Good for a laugh as I had read the NY Times article a few days before that.

from the story:

"In 2004, lunch officials increased the amount of Beef Products meat
allowed in its hamburgers to 15 percent, from 10 percent, to increase
savings. In a taste test at the time, some school children favored burgers
with higher amounts of processed beef."

tee-hee.

"In early 2003, officials in Georgia returned nearly 7,000 pounds to Beef
Products after cooks who were making meatloaf for state prisoners detected
a ´very strong odor of ammonia¡ in 60-pound blocks of the trimmings, state
records show."

´It was frozen, but you could still smell ammonia,¡ said Dr. Charles Tant,
a Georgia agriculture department official. ´Iÿve never seen anything like
it.¡

now, *that's* unusual. i wonder why they just didn't switch to nutraloaf,
since all prisoners are inhuman swine anyway.

I've been thinking about getting a grinder for burgers. We've been using
either Costco ground beef (which is tested a little more than most, but
still could be trouble) and ground Bison. I'm not sure if Bison is as
problematic as ground beef, only because it's done in much smaller
quantities. Since it's not an ingredient in fast food, it may not have the
'mystery' origin issues. Course, I'm just guessing here.

Will my food processor grind meat acceptably?

I'd feel more confident about the information if the website
wasn't published by an ambulance-chasing legal group like the
ones who advertise unceasingly on TV.

Jay posted a link to a NY times article. It was also on our local
(Chicago) TV station this morning. Google it if you want. It's
legit.

I don't know why.

It's actually not in my dictionary, but jizz is:

jizz |jiz|


noun Brit., informal
(among birdwatchers and naturalists) the characteristic impression given
by a particular species of animal or plant.

ORIGIN 1920s: of unknown origin.

Since you get a metallic taste from fully oxidized pre ground Hamburg
anyway...

A food processor is not a grinder. With a food processor the best you
could do is try for emulsified meat like a hot dog. Processed less you'd
have some sort of chopped meat which might do ok for meatloaf with
binders, but won't handle like actual ground meat to form burgers and
the like. If you have a Kitchenaid mixer, the grinder attachment for it
works well despite the claims of some here who have never actually used
it. It is smaller than most standalone grinders, but is a good size for
meals for up to 4 or 5 people or so before it becomes tedious to feed.

Thank you for reminding me I really do not want to eat ground beef
anyplace but at home--and then ground by me/at least having had a
chunk ground for me.

I recently bought the grinder attachment for my Kitchenaid, and as
long as the pieces are cut small and are partly frozen, it works
pretty well for my purposes...
