    How does beef taste anyway? I have resolved to never eat it because of my religious upbringing, although I am an atheist now. How does it taste?

      The closest analogy that I have found is Ostrich, though that tastes of beef and liver. Venison, aka deer, is much like beef, but with almost no fat, so you have to mix it with a fatty meat to use it as beef, even then there’s a richer “beefyness” to the end result.

      I wish I had tried an antelope steak, when I had the ability to do so, I suspect that would be closer to beef in taste and fat content upon further research.

      I haven’t eaten beef in like more than 30 years, but I remember that it tasted good when I used to eat it

        Was vegetarian for nearly 15 years. Worked a Friday day shift at the bar, hungover af. I think I served a dozen Prime Rib Dips and ended up asking the kitchen to save one for me for later … and that was the end of my vegetarian days. It 100% cured my hangover!

      It’s overrated in my opinion. It’s tasty but not mind blowing in any way like the internet claims. I’ve had better tasting fried chicken to be honest.
