I was in Korea about two months ago. I don't really like Korean food. Last time we were there I sat down with the band & crew for a few traditional Korean meals. For $5-10 you could order more food than it was possible to eat. But not much that I liked. I wound up eating at McDonalds often, & I almost never eat McDonalds food. McDonalds burgers don't even taste the same over there; same goes in Europe. I think they use grass fed beef; and here in the U.S., beef is grain fed. Another thing I've never seen in catering is Mexican. I love good Mexican. Here in Pittsburgh, a sound company I worked with did many festival shows at Station Square Amphitheater, across the river from downtown. Since I was at FOH all the time, I was quite often forgotten. Even my own crew failed to tell me when dinner was served. After shows were over I'd ask the production manager; "What was for dinner tonight?" -Denny

That's because we generally only let them into fields where grass grows, not into fields where grain grows. :-) -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com

Pretty good. Mostly economics. Technically I'm a farmer now, though I just sublet to a couple neighbors for the growing... Grain is a much more concentrated food, so it takes longer to get animals up to weight on grass. And time is money- profit is related to haw many pounds you can produce in a given time. Comparitively, grain is cheap here. So the numbers mean you make more feeding grain. Grass fed beef was relatively common here until fast food chains really started growing, around the 70's. Grass fed tends to be less fatty and is heathier, but to get it in the US you almost have to buy from the farmer and get it processed. Where I am, grass fed is pretty available, even grass fed buffalo. Or Beefalo hybrids. But most in the US aren't in a farm neighborhood. I kinda like where I am, 30 miles out from a medium sized city. If I can't find something a trip into the capitol will find it. But I find myself going there less and less. Kinda miss all night eateries and such, but don't miss reading the paper about somebody getting killed a couple miles away. Fair trade I figger. There WAS a murder out here around 20 years ago... |
