You guys might have to watch it three times to get non Canadian language

Great!

Wonder if our Beef groups could poach whoever did that?
They don't have much imagination.

21 ad. Again fair bit of political satire in it.

[Landdownunder]

If ya google you can go backb10 yrs or more. Nobody is safe world leaders etc.

They have just done one about Novak Djokovic and his court case. How he should have been eating lamb while in immigration detention over night.

Novak’s team blocked it as soon as it came out no sense of humour the flog.

The 21 add with wall shot at trump etc .

I'm kinda stuck on barley fed beef.

But for some reason I could use a feed of lamb just now...

That is some great advertising.

[agstar77]

Won't change my mind about a good steak! My wife is a lamb lover.

[Landdownunder]

I could put em all up hilarious some of them.

Yup prefer steak as well

Have to say in my travels across your great land best steaks came from the dingiest diners rather than flash Harry franchises.

Was it mr micks or mikes asked me if I liked my steak there said nah mates didn’t actually apologised gave me a free beer for my trouble never went back. Said he would talk to his supplier

[shtferbrains]

Unfortunately you summed up the steak in chain restraunts pretty well.
Hard to believe you can make it bad meal out of steak. I don't order it much unless I know what to expect.
Don't know what they do to the meat to make it loose quality so bad.
I'm know you can get good beef out of the local feedlot. Maybe hauling it 8 hrs and standing around before slaughter doesn't help.


Got some ribeyes from out little local owned store in town. Kind of a gas station C-store. He is advertizing fresh cut meat. The steak was exceptional. Must be dry aged never frozen. I think his supplier is not far away.
Think I might go get some more today. Or dig around in the freeze and see whats left.

Funny story with a nice steak thrown in - back in about 2002 I headed out to Vermilion with two sons, early teens, to look at some cows.

When we went past town, heading to the stockyards,I saw a shiny new Super 8 just off the highway, looks like a good place to spend the night, I thought.

Got to the stockyards, met up with Jim Pulak and met a few more guys, Rusty Stalwyck was one of them. He had the classic cowboy appearance, quiet, not imposing, very polite, humble chap.

Anyway, when he asked where we're staying I said I saw this nice-looking motel on the edge of town. Well, Rusty says, I'm the/an owner of that place. And I thought, this ordinary, cattle guy owns a Super 8?

He says 'do you want me to book a room for you guys', I said 'sure, was gonna anyway.'

He calls over to the motel, said who he was and proceeds to book a room. Well, Rusty was having a bit of trouble getting my name right so he says, 'Just book it, he'll be there!'

Nope, the girl at the desk made him give every detail she asked for, and eventually a frustrated Rusty had us a room booked.

He hangs up the phone and mutters, really perturbed, 'She has no right to talk to me like that. I own the damn place..."

Anyway, we got there a bit later and ordered steak for me and my boys just wanted pancakes. They came and the stack of pancakes hanging over the edges of their plates; my teenaged boys managed to eat about half before they stalled...

And the steak - oh the steak. I've seen smaller roasts! It was perfect and even so I had to stay a long time at the trough before it was all gone. But I sure wasn't figuring on leaving one scrap of it and I didn't.

Kudos to Alberta beef and one heck of a chef.

Just awesome ads mate! Lol.

Now, until our farm fills in the gap of all the lamb we import, have at it!

I have never had a steak meal out where I was amazed. Best steaks I have ever had are moose or elk, grilled to perfection. Beef is ok, I think of raising a steer or two all the time, just haven’t done it yet. I think freshness is a huge factor.

I do prefer lamb. And that’s not just me saying it. I need tender meat. I have yet to have tough or chewy lamb. With the right seasonings and skilled cookery it’s hard to beat.

Bottom line, it’s what one is used to. My tastes I know have changed. It’s always fun when we are grilling lamb at markets etc, and old timers come by, ask what we’re cooking. We tell them lamb. They often turn up their noses as they had bad experiences with post war mutton. The odd person will refuse to try our lamb. But we have changed many minds and put smiles on faces when they eat a well produced, fresh, and properly grilled hunk of lamb. The very best part. After they eat they’re samples, many of them walk away, make the rounds of the market and come back. “Sheepishly” they fork over cash. Former nose turn uppers, forking over cash is always a highlight.

Our stock promoters over here could sure use some down under lessons, that’s for sure.

Mutton is the in thing here to a degree. One it’s cheaper than lamb. Two actually more flavour. Talking 18 month old to two year. Some guys age it till it turns slightly brown. The 5 star joints call it chocolate mutton.

Hmmm. I’m out. Lol We do have the odd person from areas, (South Africa, India, etc), where they are used to wool sheep with their more intense flavour, specify an older sheep. But for most, especially historically non lamb eaters, well, they have had a bad lamb experience, roof of the mouth tallow, off putting flavour, etc.

Our mission is to gain lamb eaters by surprising their socks off! lol

About 39 years ago I spent a month and a half in Australia. We stayed at hostels in the places that had them and tented every where else. Had alot of pub lunches that were amazing.

One time we bought mutton hot dogs. Worst thing I ever put in my mouth. Turned me off lamb until about 4 or 5 years ago. Had some lamb chops done right and made me a believer. Have it from time to time now.

We butchered a cull ewe a few years back. Ground her up, made her into burgers. While it was cooking, I be like, yikes, that is intense odor. Sat down to eat. We couldn’t do it, it was not doable.

And this is hair sheep, they are supposed to be mild forever and I find this to be generally true. But as with anything, individual animals can be off putting. I also think we didn’t season her correctly, wrong blends of spice can be blech.

Once we bought a half of pork from a neighbor. First roast we put in the oven it was an unbearable odor. Took me a while before I could eat pork again. As I sit here, I can still after probably twenty years, remember the odor and the flavour to a tee.

Point is, a bad experience eating can throw you off for YEARS. Been there, done that. I don’t blame folks who have had a negative experience, even in the distant past, who are shy to try again!

[Landdownunder]

Yeah point taken. Most aussies farmers may austcanada might be different prefer hogget 18 mth to 24 mth err no older.

Mutton hotdogs never heard of maybe mutton sausages

Old sheep got to middle east all they eat
