I remember not living above a grocery store. Don’t miss those days one bit
I bought a small pack of hamburger at the grocery store once. Same foam tray but it just wasn’t overstuffed like so many are. The checkout girl, holding this, says of it “I don’t understand why they underpackage it like this.” and I say “Well some of us are bachelors and will only eat a pound of burger before it goes bad.”
I think the young people enjoy it when I get down verbally, don’t you?

Flattening also means that you can thaw the beef quicker when you want to cook … and in terms of body parts, it’s better to use a barrel of acid to dissolve the evidence.
Do you know how expensive a whole barrel of acid is?
Cheaper than trying to hide body parts for longer than a week … why are we discussing what to do with human body parts?
…no reason.
Which reminds me, I have to go clean my freezer … and check on my barrel of acid.
How do you feel about lye? Seems to clean the organic crap better. For metal I use sulfuric. ?
And use a large cookie cutter on the frozen slabs to make hamburgers. Bonus because they’re pre-smashed.
Meat = body parts, so techinically not even a joke.
I know the joke is human parts…
Sure it is buddy, sure it is.

I kinda do this with turkey
Goes on sale after big holidays, and I buy 5-8 whole tuekys for like $1/lb. Portion them all and freeze them. It replaces chicken for the entire year.
Do you portion it raw or cook first?
I haven’t tried to butcher a raw turkey before, but the idea is tempting.
As a young boy and teenager, I grew up hunting Canada geese with my family a lot growing up. We’re Indigenous and it was common every spring to butcher about 100-120 geese every spring. We were able to kill much more but dad limited us to this amount because beyond that, it was just too hard and difficult to butcher this many animals and store them properly. We used the entire animal - meat for eating, bones for tools/crafts, feathers for stuffing blankets and pillows and wing feathers for crafts. The heads were eaten too and every bit of meat, sinew, brain, edible part eaten. Feet boiled into stew. Gizzard, heart, lungs roasted for quick eating while butchering everything else. Intestines were consumed only if people were starving which we never were so they were just thrown to our hunting dogs. And in terms of butchering, mom was a skilled with a knife and a bird, she knew the anatomy like the back of her hand and could separate the bones from the meat and leave a rack of whole attached bones with a whole single slab of meat and skin. Then continue slicing the meat slab until she turned it into a continuous single sheet of meat and skin about four or five long, then that was draped over a smoking fire for a day or two and we got smoked goose that could stored for several months. The deboned carcass was smoked alongside and once that was smoked, everyone took their time picked away all the meat from the bone. She taught me how to butcher in the same way but I was never as skilled as her and my sisters at it.
My point is … once you do it two or three times, butchering a bird is not that hard once you figure out the anatomy, use a good sharp knife and how to do it. Most importantly, use a very sharp knife because contrary to popular belief, you are more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife because you’ll struggle more to make your cuts and thus hurt yourself.
I do it raw
Each breast in its own ziplock, drumsticks in a ziplock, 2 wings in a ziplock, dark meat cube/peices for stir-fry in a ziplock. All organs in their own ziplock.
Doing turkey is really no different then whole chicken for portioning, just bigger. Technically it can be done in about 8-10 cuts.
Watch some chicken portioning videos, same method applies they are just longer cuts.
Dunno who this guy is but it’s this method https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NVIdnpPqv8g
Edit: even the turkey breast can be butterflied in half for 2 ‘breasts’ per bag giving 4 portions of breast per bird. Depends on the meal I’m having really but I leave them whole until I go to cook.
Neat, thank you!
It wild thaw much quicker too.
“By hamburgers in bulk and flatten”
Just buy some mince and learn how to cook
No it says “buy hamburger” as in hamburger meat. Ground beef.
Had to look this up, because I’d seen it before but didn’t want to accuse Americans of being crazy without proof:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hamburger
1 a: ground beef
1 b: a patty of ground beefThe meme says singular “hamburger”, so it makes sense that they meant it in the ground beef sense. Every other dictionary starts with “a patty of ground beef” by the way, so it seems to be an American peculiarity.
Americans… answer why. This is not on.
If like to see the reaction of every Italian when they realize bolognese and lasagne are made out of hamburger according to Americans
Who has time to cook when there is prostitute murdering to be done?
If you murder a prostitute make sure you pay them first so you’re not shoplifting too.
Only commit one crime at a time.
Good advice! Also be sure to get a receipt.
Learning to cook prostitutes, tell you when I’m done?

Honestly a superior storage idea.
You should not freeze raw minced meat. Fry it first.
Why?
What does it matter if you freeze raw mince. You’re cooking it after anyways.
I’ve also never understood when people say you should NEVER consume meat frozen past x months…like, it doesn’t matter. It’s quality/flavor/appearance that degrades. It doesn’t make it lethal or make you sick.
Lol wat? Freezing ground meat is perfectly safe as long you cook it completely.
Sure, if you don’t plan on feeding it to your victims…
I think technically if you can get it from a butcher minced that day, you should be good to freeze it on the same day
Not so much supermarket mince
Why?
I prepared it with spices, made Pattys out of it and vacuumed it. Tasted fine but maybe I am not aware of some unhealthy component?
Why won’t someone answer these whys?!
