Poll of the Day > I wish meat was sold in smaller portions

(+) Yeah! (+)

I eat meat rather sparingly... I mean, it's delicious but I'm a tinyman so what I want is a steak that's about the size of 2 chicken McNuggets or something.

...

..like Sushi sized steak, or something.

...

You can buy stewing cubes which are about the right size, but they're only sold in family sized packages here so if I wanna cook 1 or 2 cubes I'd have to freeze the rest, and then they'd be difficult to separate and get all old and hard and stale.

Buy non frozen meat, hack it into sizes you like, put the pieces in freezer bags and voila, Lok sized meat when you want it.

Go home, Lok, you're drunk!

And pretty sure you can get tiny portions at fancy restaurants or as samplers at less fancy restaurants.

Thing about restaurants is that I can buy a 1 burger and it's just right

If I go to the store I gotta buy a 20 burger, in the box

What?

Usual size for a box of burgers is like 2 lb, or 8 1/4 lb burgers...
And you just store it in the freezer and use a few at a time.

I'm not sure when the last time was you've been to a store, but -- with the exception of freezer food (which shouldn't be 20 to a box either, unless maybe it's White Castle) -- burgers generally aren't sold by "the box." Beef is sold by certain weights and you can either refrigerate or freeze what you don't use.

I actually wish many things were sold in smaller portions.

Pretty much. If you don't want a million tiny bags in your freezer, use parchment or wax paper to compartmentalize each bag as needed. If that's still too much and it goes bad in the freezer before you can use it, find a friend/family member to split the package with.

Frozen patties are sold by the box or sleeve and I've seen them in packages up to 40 at Walmart. It's ass grade beef though.

I never had White Castle (fast food or otherwise), so idk...

I know Black River brand meat is terrible though, so I usually get the generic brand "Our Compliments"

doesn't being grossly overweight count as being a "tinyman"?

---

You know if you go to the meat counter they will sell you meat by weight right?

I heard that some super fancy, super expensive restaurants apparently sometimes do that...

Isn't that only if you buy the beef, though. Like I could buy the beef, but I could always buy frozen burgers, as well... I remember my stepdad buying them all the time...

you meanie, I'm only a little overweight

You can always ask a butcher or person working at the meat counter at the grocery store to cut meat into smaller portions for you
