I was doing a 14 day water fast few months back. Made it to day 12 and had to drive 3.5 hours to take care of issues in another city. I felt on the edge of passing out (dark spots and bright lights in my field of vision & lightheaded).
No food places for another 30 miles, so pulled over at McDonalds even though have not eaten there in over a decade. Ordered 2 different burgers and some fries. Took 1 bite of each burger and felt disgust as they didn't taste like burgers or meat for that matter. Ate half the fries and they had a waxy taste to them that covered my mouth like cheap chocolate will do.
The remainder of the burgers was given to my friend's dog when I got to my destination. He didn't eat the burgers either.
Crazy isn’t it. Stay away from that for even just a little while and go back to it, it tastes like pure shit. I’d like to add too, the ground beef you buy at the grocery store tastes like shit too. It don’t look right, cook right, smell right or taste right. Something going on there.
Pretty disappointed in the whole meat issue & know exactly what you mean about even ground beef being "off." I thought my taste buds changed bc I've tried everything from 65/35 to 95/5 ground beef from different stores and always tastes funny unless I get it from local butcher who sources from local ranchers. Glad you mentioned that, bc GF says I'm crazy and things taste the same but I can tell it's not right.
Would like to purchase another entire cow or half cow so as to get better quality meat, but I need to replace a deep freezer and finish building a smoke shack to dry and cure some meats.
That is the thing to do. Raw, unadulterated meat straight from a rancher who will butcher it for you without all the USDA poisoning processes. My brother gets his that way and it is delicious.
There’s a restaurant/bar about 45 min from town in the middle of cattle country that serves these two inch thick burgers that hang over the bun by about a half inch for $12 with chips and drink. Best damn burgers you can find. I finally got the owner to admit he was get’n his beef straight from the local rancher.
As for store bought even if you season the shit out of it for tacos or chili it still tastes like shit. Even the so called better burger joints suck. Take a bite of just the meat alone and it’ll piss you off. That’s why they make all those fancy ass named burgers with all kinds of shit on them. It’s to cover up that manky ass meat.
