Why would you want thinly sliced meat? That doesn't make any sense to me.
- pluma 12y agoIt changes the surface feel of the meat. The concept shouldn't be too puzzling. There's a whole class of cooking (molecular gastronomy) entirely based on taking this to the extreme.
- jimmaswell 12y agoI've always found it much nicer to eat thick chunks of meat but I guess it's not the norm for lunchmeats.
- mod 12y agoI imagine there's lots of reasons. A girl I dated would only eat very thinly sliced meat or very specific cuts of chicken. I tried for a long time to come up with a set of rules that would account for her preference, and eventually I came to: no obvious evidence that it was an animal. No bones, veins, ligaments, fatty areas, etc. Also a good texture, no slimy meats. Her preference was that turkey they cut so thin it's almost fluffy. I heard she got over that while she traveled, and now eats all manner of meats.
