Kobe beef is some of the most tender beef you can eat. First time I ever had it was as an appetizer in New York. The small bites of meat were $30/piece and that was back in the 1990s. I had it again when I was on a business trip to Kobe, Japan. Pretty wonderful cut of beef.
That must have been, uh, interesting to watch. Did it taste any different, being that fresh? I suppose it's no worse than knowing your lobster was thrown alive into a boiling pot just minutes earlier.
Russia, Russia, Ruissa. Just can't get away from it!
48 ouncer? Goodness. Talk about meat sweats.
Chualar still there?
Yes, it's south on 101 as I recall. Ten miles or so from Salinas. I'm sure it may have grown since we were last there.
Not much beats sitting overseeing the Nile and eating the Whole Fish (believe it was the Tilapia Nile) and drinking a Nile Special beer at sunset......
Sat on the ground eating whatever it was the Paki tribesmen had and at an embassy 4th of July do in Kabul. Broke bread with locals in Turkey, Japan, Greece, Italy, Germany, Pakistan, England, Belgium, France, where ever I happened to be. The best is what the locals have. They serve hospitality to go with it.
That is really the beauty of boats. Only some of us want to own them. But they are more fun to share with friends, so it's a win, win.
At 80 years old, my adventures were 30 to 60 years ago. As Yogi said, when you come to a fork in the road take it. Can't say I'd have done anything differently. Life has been good to me.
I REALLY want to do some village hopping through the Stans. I wanna sleep in a yurt. Probably past the time to accomplish it though. My stay in Turkey was too short and relegated to Istanbul to have any appreciation. Lucky you.
Japan was a trip. I was hitch hiking. People wanted to feed me things I couldn't afford. Not that killer fish. Fruit. Individually wrapped pears. I guess they wrap them on the tree. You had those? Largest grapes I've ever seen. I did get to try that Kobe but really don't have the taste buds to appreciate I think.
On a rural hike by myself (stupid in it's own right) in New Guinea some little boy sidled up, was going to protect me as is custom and responsibility. He shinnied up a tree, hacked open a coconut. My first taste of baby coconut. Oh my. That was the first desert war. I think I still have the newspaper announcing the end with the headline, "ol iraki army runaway."
Hitched a ride on an Indonesian cargo ship through the South China Sea. They had lines dragging and actually caught a tuna. They were shocked as they never really caught anything. (bone breaker too if not careful unhooking). They shared out. THAT's the stuff the Japanese pay fortune for. I admit, if I was rich enough that cost was to me like going to McDonalds, I might lose my sense of economy. Besides that meal it was five days of rice and roaches. Roaches weren't part of the menu, just frequent guests on the plate.
That's another place I want to get to but probably past time. I had two shots at Eastern Africa. When in the Middle East and when in Western Africa. Medical cut both out of the game just before I was to have a leave. Morocco, Senegal, the Nile and what was supposed to be my original posting but the war happened the week I was supposed to get on the plane, Ruanda. Really would like to see those. Uh, on topic, i hear they have great filet mignon in Ruanda... tastes like snake.
You realize prime rib is the primal that ribeye is cut from, don't you?
Sirloin isn't even a steak.Chopped Sirloin Steak with a ton of steak sauce on it. I have a very refined taste palate.
Thanks. You ruined my whole day. At least I still have country fried steak for real steak
No reason why not that I know of. I didn't ask that. I asked "why?"
