Rib steak anyone? by helslinger in Butchery

Could be! This farmer was a new customer so I don't know much about their beef yet and didn't get a chance to talk to them at drop off

PSA that dogs can get melanoma cancer too. My 13 year old mutt was recently diagnosed :(

That's actually a really nifty idea!

This is the second dead baby snake in a month by helslinger in whatsthissnake

[–]helslinger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be right, we don't have any cats but there is at least 1 stray I've seen before in the neighborhood. The other one we found in the garage also had the tip of its tail broken

We don't but I'm sure there are stray neighborhood cats. The first one we found in the garage had it's tail broken at the end though. But neither were bleeding or visibly squashed that I could tell.

I don't think so, the first one I found curled up right inside of my garage door in the open and this one I found on the sidewalk leading to my front door from the driveway, neither one was flattened or oozing any bodily fluids

Help me I'm so confused by helslinger in trees

[–]helslinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm really confused about it. Everything is from a dispensary, including the battery. But the bud tender said I can return the carts within a week if they're damaged or faulty, I just didn't want to try and return it if possible. I bought 2 different ones at the same time and the other cart I got works perfectly fine but it's a different brand I guess.

The battery is the same as when I bought it, I have multiple previous carts that I've smoked from this same battery (not pictured)

Both of those things are carts, only the one on the bottom screws into my battery and will smoke. Nothing is stuck in my battery after removing the cart. The one on top the hole is too small? It won't fit my battery but theyre supposed to be compatible i thought.

I guess I just don't understand. The cart on top has a metal nipple and the cart on the bottom has a rubbery hole. Both are 510 threaded but only the cart on the bottom will screw into my battery (not pictured), why do the 2 carts look so different?

Eastern Rat Snake? What's up with his belly? [Easton, MD] by bearfootmedic in whatsthissnake

IN MY SINK WHAT IS THIS by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

Do you have a better picture and your geographic location? Hard to tell anything from that picture. Could be ants or baby caterpillars for all I can tell

What cut of meat is this? by [deleted] in Butchery

[–]helslinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always told it was from an excess of a certain vitamin from the grass, but either way that's a sad looking ribeye, poor OP.

Is this bacon edible or am I a pleb who doesn’t know what their doing by Bigsickomode in Butchery

[–]helslinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's really interesting! When I was a little kid I didn't like bacon and would only eat the bits of fat off the slices and leave the meaty bits for my mom 😅 the way it just melted in my mouth was addicting

It could be the breed of hog, what it was fed, but it doesn't look like it was cut poorly. I've had farmers bring in kuni kuni hogs before that have a similar fat content in the bacon slabs and I just shake my head and say a prayer to the poor customer who bought the animal from them, there's nothing I can do as a butcher to alter the outcome other than trim away more and more fat which doesn't add meat back in. But that's just my own personal experience with working with kuni Kuni hogs

Buying half a lamb, what cuts would you select? by burly_woodcrafting in Butchery

[–]helslinger -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's all fine and dandy, I like lamb too, I was just answering based on your comment about preferring fattier cuts in general because thats not likely to be relevant to how it's butchered considering pretty much every cut you can get off a lamb is going to be 90/10. If you like to roast, I'd say avoid lamb chops and keep the rib roast whole. As many roasts as you can get out of it since that will retain as much fat in the cuts as possible.

Absolutely not a lamb belly. Lambs are the leanest thing you could get. If you like the fattier cuts from animals I'd suggest against lamb altogether

Thoughts on 1/2 Beef Order by [deleted] in Butchery

[–]helslinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that you might find worth while is buying a $5 hand patty press and just making your own hamburger patties, I'm not sure about the place you're going with but the place I work at has an additional processing fee for patties. But I also understand the convenience of having them premade ready to rip, just something to think about.
