    How does beef taste anyway? I have resolved to never eat it because of my religious upbringing, although I am an atheist now. How does it taste?

      The closest analogy that I have found is Ostrich, though that tastes of beef and liver. Venison, aka deer, is much like beef, but with almost no fat, so you have to mix it with a fatty meat to use it as beef, even then there’s a richer “beefyness” to the end result.

      I wish I had tried an antelope steak, when I had the ability to do so, I suspect that would be closer to beef in taste and fat content upon further research.

      It’s overrated in my opinion. It’s tasty but not mind blowing in any way like the internet claims. I’ve had better tasting fried chicken to be honest.

        If you were born after 1985 and are American your views on pork’s flavor aren’t exactly spot on. We moved to leaner breeds in the 1980s and as a result our pork has a lot less flavor than it used to. There’s a richness to heritage breeds like the ones Neiman Ranch sells that have that flavor still. Other nations I do not believe made this shift.

          I’m from austria and if this were the case here, boomers and milenials would constantly nag about it.

          Infact complaining is part of austrian culture (it’s called “sudern”, this word is only used in austria and bavaria)

      I cannot describe the taste.

      Eat some well barbequed beef and a wave of regret will wash over you, and you will cry for having denied it to yourself for all these years.

      Medium rare beef steaks are hyped up, but it frankly is actually an acquired taste. I’ve eaten hot dogs I liked better.
