Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
inda odd to top a chocolate sundae with a cherry tomato isn't it? Allow me to explain. What you're looking at is
not a soda fountain creation. It's the latest entry in the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's Beeflexible campaign: the Steak Sundae. The Philly "Mignon" is among the other
Beeflexible ads that have run in the food service trade magazines.A sundae composed of cubed steak, layered with mashed potatoes and gravy, topped with a dash of Pop Rocks is waaay beyond flexible. That's because it's designed to appeal to kids. That's all well and good by me, but I'd sooner encourage a child to eat beef by offering them a forkful of steak tartare.

4-12-2006 @11:28AM tr said... it all sounded fine, until you said the "Pop Rocks" part. but then i read the article and listened to the sound bite, and no where does it mention Pop Rocks. so, were you just throwing that in there to make your post more interesting, and to accentuate the "gross" factor? i mean, honestly, what is the difference between eating this, and an open face roast beef sandwich? probably 2 things: 1. no bread, just mashed potatoes, and 2. the sandwich is on a plate, and this is in a parfait glass. big deal. if this gets your kids to eat, then fine. at least you didn't have make stuff crazy colors, like a lot of food manufacturers do.
