If cows could fly, would it still be called ground beef?
Thanks for asking, Shari… (and sorry for the delay with our response… we’ve been busy around here, mostly trying to answer your question :)
JEN: Yes. They call it ground beef because of how it’s prepared. Once the cows get to the meatery (whether they walk, fly or are cow-napped) they are then ground up with big grinders. Hence the name “ground” beef.
JASE: You mean… cows don’t fly where you come from?
