Beef: The King
From burgers to filet mignon. Ground beef to prime rib. It’s the most popular red meat in America. And it’s not even close.
Funky detail: a single cow can make over 400 pounds of meat. That’s a lot of cheeseburgers. Your heart might sigh, but your taste buds cheer.
Lamb: The Traveler
Lamb is huge in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines. But in the U.S., it’s oddly rare. Like a unicorn on a plate.
Why? Because lamb has a gamey taste. Some people love it. Others think it tastes like a barn. I’m team love-it.
Pro tip: lamb chops with mint jelly? Chef’s kiss. You’re welcome.
Goat: The Underdog
Goat is the most eaten red meat on the planet. Seriously. Billions of people eat goat every day. But in America, it’s practically invisible.
Why? Cultural bias. Plus, goat is leaner and tougher. But slow-cooked goat curry? It will rock your world.
Try it once. You’ll feel adventurous. And your dinner guests will be impressed.
