Thank you, Bayard. Most informative post.

I am disgusted by what some Americans and other cultures will eat.

I stopped trying to cook beef while living in England for 3yrs because it smelled so strange & unpleasant.
So I stuck to cooking chicken and prawns.
Prawns are very much like shrimp.

Speaking of shrimp (thread drift)....
I'm preparing this for C'mas dinner...

2nd Helping Shrimp

2 pounds quality shrimp cooked and cleaned (I buy frozen with the tails removed and, of course, and I cut the shrimp in half.)
1- 2 T lemon juice
3 T oil (or a bit more to cover.)
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1/2 cup onion, minced
2 - 3 T butter
3/4 cup rice, uncooked (I add a bit more.)
1 cup heavy cream
3 T sherry
1- 2 t salt
1/8 t mace
Dash cayenne pepper
1 cup condensed tomato soup
1/2 t pepper
Dash paprika
1/4 cup sliced, lightly toasted almonds for sprinkling on top

Preheat oven to 375°.
Cover shrimp with lemon juice and oil. Place in refrigerator until cold, crisp. Stir often so that all shrimp marinated.
Saute green pepper & onion in butter.
Lightly drain shrimp and add all remaining ingredients.
Pour into a greased 2 quart casserole dish.
Sprinkle almonds & paprika on top.
Cover.
Bake 45 mins. to 1 hr.
Serves 6.

Moral of story, please do whatever you can to endure your "beef" isn't horse meat.
