What part is the "meat"?

Question

You know when you eat meat... what part is the meat? I know that people say that it's the fleash but I still don't understand what part the flesh is. Is it the muscle? Because that seems like it would be too tough to eat. And I know that it isn't the fat because that's just the chewy white junk that you get in your meat, right?

This probally a really wierd question but I was just wondering.

Answer 1

It's muscle tissue. Some cuts of meat, those from areas of an animal where the muscle is greatly used, are quite tough. More tender cuts come from areas where the muscle isn't as active. Meat that would be really tough because of its location on the animal's body is frequently chopped down into grounds or mince.

Answer 2

It would be the muscle- to-flesh part, it gets softer and much more tender when cooked and even pulverized.

Answer 3

Yeah its the muscle

Answer 4

I'm not sure about your question.... All meat is flesh. In beef you have T-bone that comes from the back, shoulder steak from the shoulder, round steak from the hind legs, rump roast from the rump, hamburger from all over the cow, beef ribs from the ribs, etc. and yes its muscle.

Answer 5

It's the muscle.
