Open Letter to the Beef Industry
To The Idiot Whom it May Concern,
For awhile now I have been seeing advertisements saying, "Beef. It's whats for dinner." I couldn't agree more. However, I think for the first in the history of marketing has an industry's approach been to limit the imagination of its consumer and the times beef should be consumed!
Ever hear of steak and eggs?!?! Breakfast? I guess that chicken lay that succulent strip of meat.
How about that delicious juicy roast beef sandwich you had for lunch!?!? Who could imagine?!?!
Or how about a snack?!?!? Ever hear of Beef Jerky?!?!
Imagine if the travel industry had a slogan, "Vacations. Great in May." Or if the movie studios started to say, "Our Movie. See it on Mondays." Open your minds and picture the wonders of incorporating beef into every meal. I practice, start preaching.
Your Welcome,
Yankee
P.S. If any management positions open up I am available.

Nouveaux mots en français!!!
I may be an English Bulldog, but I know a lot of words and phrases in French. For instance:
Au Jus - with juice (usually a beef broth)
Béchemal - a roux-thickened sauce flavored with onion, cloves and bay leaf

Bifteck - beef steak
Boeuf - beef
Bon appetit- greeting that encourages your guests to enjoy their meal
and my favorite...
Braise - to cook meat by searing in fat, then simmering in a covered dish in a small amount of liquid
But today I learned a new one, when my father said I was "so cliche". I responded with "merci!" as I thought he was using the french word that meant "connoisseur of meat", but then he showed me this photo and explained what it meant.

Needless to say, we are not speaking, and that he is so Bourgeoisie.
