I've basically only done the butter poach. Easy and good. Wastes/uses a hell of a lot of butter.

Interesting read but in the end I couldn't care less about their feelings. Boil them, stab them, they all partying in my stomach.

+1 on the "Nebraska Beef Fesitval". If I have to watch cows go down a ramp to slaughter before I get a morsel, so be it. Just food prep.

+1 on black dog too ; )
