You must be eating the shitty beef at the supermarket. Get your hands on some properly raised beef and you won't touch that supermarket crap or dare to compare it to nasty chicken
Actually I take that back we used to raise chickens too just for ourselves and they can be delicious. But the junk chicken they sell at the store is disgusting too, worse than the cheap beef. Pushed too hard with too much grain and then they inject salty water into the meat to pump it up even more...
If you want to eat good meat make friends with a farmer. Gotta agree tuna is the shit tho
Pretty much this. Local butcher beef is so much better (and better for the world) than the freeze-packed stuff in a supermarket. Ditto with chicken.
Ditto with Tuna, too. Tuna is a local resource here, so I much rather a fresh filet cooked rare than that overdone canned stuff (which I'll still eat sometimes, I admit).
Even the shitty beef at the supermarket is better than tuna. Tuna with a baked potato? It just doesn't hit as good as even a frozen new York strip.
Yeah tuna with baked potato sounds weak but every meat has its companions, tuna sashimi or tuna in sushi in general is pretty great.
The supermarket beef I was imagining as op was talking burgers is that foul low grade ground beef that I used to eat when I was a broke apprentice. Rancid smell and tons of greasy, watery liquid to drain off... And then I found a butcher who sold their ground beef for a similar price because it was basically a byproduct of their steaks! That was it for supermarket ground, never again
