I envy people who live in Africa.

Free beef, just have to go and hunt it yourself. I wouldnt eat vegetables if I lived in that country.

Hey we can do the same thing with squirrels and feral cats.

I was talking with my dad a while back, and my dog, who we were walking without a leash, just went after this squirrel (terrier..it was a big open area, no cars..so I didn't see the harm).

My old man says "Maybe he'll get him and we can cook it up."

People definitely eat squirrel. Not me..but people. American people. Who probably like Nascar and wrestling and Jeff Foxworthy..but people none the less.

I have wild turkeys in my back woods, which can obviously be eaten. Many Americans also hunt deer for food. Venison is quite delicious.

Oh my. That is disturbing.

It is also disturbing to hear someone think that they can generalize about an entire continent as if it is all the same.

The key to great steak is the cut, (Delmonico or what is now called Rib Eye), the marinade, (I have a secret recipe, and it must be overnight in the fridge), the rub, (spices which again are a family secret), and the wood it's grilled over ... my favorite is mesquite. Add sauteed mushrooms, my special double-stuffed baked potatoes, grilled zuchini and summer squash, (or corn-on-the-cob), and the proper vino, and it's the perfect meal.

I've always thought marinade and strong seasoning with steak is a lot like make-up on women. A real decent cut should be able to stand alone without too much..maybe a little salt and pepper, but thats it.

Lesser cuts might feel a little insecure and go a little zany with the eye-liner.

We are definitely on the same plane here, because I was going to say the same thing.  I think there are cuts that work well with marinades (skirt, flank, and some of the cheaper, less "beefy" cuts), but I would never marinade a good ribeye, NY strip, T bone, etc.  I think the amount of seasoning should be inversely proportionate to the quality of the cut. 

I also feel the same way about sauces (although I make an exception if I am in a good french restaurant).  Once you start getting into those high end cuts, putting sauce on it, is akin to throwing away your money

Oh, I do agree.  Ribeye stands alone...Never guild a lily, so to speak.  But I do use marinades on other steaks. 

As I stated, with Rib Eye it's a mild seasoning, and all I can say is, until you've tried it the way I cook it, don't knock it. Give things a chance, and never assume anything ... you'll deny yourself some of life's best experiences.

I bet you $5 that Jeff Foxworthy eats steak!

****.

As an African, I'm quite offended by your ignorance.

Africa is actually a continent made up of 53 countries w/ a population of around 1 billion people.

I'm pretty sure that you can hunt wild game in any country, including (the 53 nations of) Africa

Warning - do not disrespect the steak thread with pointless bickering.  Someone made a geographical error.  It has been pointed out already.  Let's move on.  wdleehi
