Most of us grew up eating corn-fed or at least corn-finished. Free range/grass fed tends to have a hint more gamey flavor compared to the grocery store common stuff.Meat content below so there's the warning for those who don't partake:
I've butchered primal cuts and smoked them, made thousands of burgers, blah blah blah
Here's the thing: buying supermarket ground beef for so long has ruined my palate. I don't usually buy local farm-raised slaughtered and processed ground beef because it's too expensive. Recently on two occasions I've gone for the farm-raised local stuff and each time I've really disliked the flavor. It has a certain... thing going on that reminds me of wild game dinners at the masonic lodge. Some type of gamey deal. I'm gonna stick with the cheaper stuff... the local supermarket grinds it fresh daily and they must not get it from local places that do the specialty diets for the cows or whatever, as it has a far more neutral "generic beef" thing going on and I think that's what I've been conditioned to like. I think in general when it comes to burgers I prefer the flavor come from all the items of choice which dress it up. Just thought it was weird how the local natural stuff that probably tastes how beef should taste just doesn't really do it for me.
Something something Ted talk
We in America have been conditioned to love corn fed everything. You should probably pour some straight up HFCS on it when cooking just for good measure. Maybe eat it on a corn tortilla, with corn topping.Ok I have figured out the difference. The stuff that I wasn't into was heavily grass-fed and the stuff I'm used to is grain-fed (and maybe grass finished). Seems like it makes a big difference in flavor.

This is a lesson I've spent my entire life learning, and often have to remind myself not to cheap out and cut cornersHonestly, paying that extra to have the perfect tool for a singular job can be worth it sometimes.

My first exposure to memes and internet culture was the harmony central fx forum, and this thing got meme'd to death. Here's an old tgp thread with some of the edits, a bit dated, but still makes me laugh: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/boss-tu-1000-revival-thread.1606810/You've heard of the T1000, but have you heard of the TU1000?
