heheheehheeee- i recently went to a function at the country club as a guest... pretty nice!! they had a meat carving station, and i don't have any clue how big the cow was that rendered that centercut, but i'm thinking possibly Mastodon size? it was cooked perfectly on premises in/on a trailer axle'd grill/smoker... it was an auction where folks bid on crazy things for some charity or another, and i was the first one to decide to bid on that bone. if i had won, my dogs would have held me in the irreproachably highest esteem until the end of the world thinking me the greatest hunter/provider ever.... they had to settle for pupperoni's that eve.
cooking outdoors is where it's at... i find the tradition kinda freaky how we as a species equate celebration or congregating with food- but it is what it is... i have an electric smoker that does okay, but doesn't char.... I LIKE the char... and a cut cooked over open fire can't be argued as the best way to do it by my reckoning (and tastes)... so... i'll certainly get my use from such a thing.
