Yesterday I Learned Something New That Will Make Dinner Taste So Much Better...

I walked up to Jeff, the burly, expert butcher in the meat department at Krogers, yesterday. With a "bottom (rump) roast" in one hand and a "shoulder roast" in the other, I said, "Jeff I want to go to bed smarter than when I woke. Can you tell me which one of these is the better piece of meat". Without hesitation, Jeff said, "The only way you will get that bottom roast tender is to place it under the left rear tire of your car and run over it about 20 times, then beat it 20 mores with a sledgehammer. If that doesn't make it tender you can always put some shoelaces in it and have a pair of boots. I responded, "I take it that the shoulder roast should be my choice". He said, "yeap", shook my hand, and walked off. I love my butcher nat Krogers.
