The
other day, Sarah Gim posted about a Chicago
meat market that was asking people to write meat-related raps. On a similar note, I recently came across an old Ask
MetaFilter thread asking for songs about meat. Coincidence? Who
knows. What I do know is that there were roughly 100 replies. I was glad to see that someone made the obvious
connection to Southern Culture on the Skids (right) for their numerous meat related songs and album titles, including
(but not limited to) "Too Much Pork for Just One Fork," "Chitlin Strut," and "8 Piece
Box." Louis Armstrong and the Hot Five's "Struttin' With Some Barbeque" also made the list. Personally,
I'm partial to the Willie Nelson version of that one. As you might imagine, Ween, Cibo Matto and Tom Waits all make
appearances on the list as well. Sadly, two of my favorites, Blind Boy Fuller's "If You See My Pigmeat" and
Louis Prima's "Closer to the Bone" didn't make the roster. I guess those aren't really about meat
anyway.Posts with tag ask metafilter
Songs about meat: there are more than you might think

Today, Ask Metafilter featured a question by someone named
OmieWise (great handle, by the way) wondering what to do with a large tin of anchovies. As usual, the MeFites have no
shortage of answers. Pizza, bagna cauda and pasta puttanesca come up, of course. Someone also suggested Heston
Blumenthal's recipe for pan bagnat, and
Jamie Oliver's anchovy pangratatto sounds like a good bet, too. There's also mention of a Jansson's frestelse, a Swedish potato and anchovy gratin. One of
the best so far, in my opinion, is the recipe for Brussels sprouts fried with anchovies. Truly a love-it-or-hate-it
dish. Personally, my favorite has always been to saute a few anchovy fillets with minced garlic and use that to dress
some pasta, along with a squeeze of lemon juice and some fresh Italian parsley.
