Hey guys,

I know this is kinda ridiculous, but to help me track my calories better I want to know what kind of meat this is. My boyfriend and I are very lucky that his Nana loves shopping for us, and she often buys use a bunch of meat, but never tells us what anything is.

The shape/size doesn't look like chicken to me, but I don't think it's pork and definitely not beef. I'm decently new to cooking so I don't have the knowledge of what different raw meats look like. Any ideas?

    Actually, I think it is pork. Probably butterflied pork chops.

    Why do you say it's definitely not beef?

    You know, it could be. The only pork I've really ever had was bacon and pork chops...

    Actually, now that you mention it, the reason why I say that is because it doesn't look like steak or ground beef, the two types of beef I'm used to. Plus, the marbleing isn't extensive, which if my memory of food shows serves me right, is a big thing for beef cuts?

    It is a little red for pork, but the fat distribution around the edges is very pork-like.

    Beef is (usually) red; pork is usually pink. Chicken (white meat>breast) is tan and the fat is in streaks around edges of muscles rather than as marbling.

    What you have is pork; looks like loin chops as someone said previously.

    Hahaha this is a great thread, "Help identify the mystery meat". It's kind of exciting actually.


    Oh, and it sounds like you got your answer already but my vote is for pork too :)
