Safeway's grass fed beef not so much

Back when rumors began that we might have meat shortages, I went and bought about $100 extra to stock away in the freezer. But then ten days ago I took one out and cooked it and it tasted like horse meat. I looked at the label, big letters says grass fed. But very tiny print it says 15% grass fed, 85% regular or whatever. So today I threw it all out, and I'm now viewing Safeway askance

    Safeway and their fake meat “essential.” I do wonder how you know what horse meat tastes like, but OK.

    Local meat market that sources beef from meat brokers “nonessential.”

    Democrats in 2020. Everything is a scam.

    Ate horse meat once in Honduras. Was actually pretty good once it was smothered in some homemade peppercorn sauce.

    I think it was starting to go bad but instead it had a really nice “aged” flavor with the spicy peppercorns.

    Not anywhere near the worst thing I’ve eaten. 6/10.

    Have you had it with store bought peppercorn sauce? It doesn’t do horse meat justice compared to homemade.
    No, you have to hand mash the peppercorns and then strain the paste through an old pantyhose to remove the grit... the other leg was used to strain the coffee grounds. real key artisan stuff.

    Store bought veal Demi glaze? Sellouts. If you're not making your own veal Demi glaze you shouldn't be in business.
