"A steak that has the fat marbled
in is the best to eat" said DR.. P. F.
Trowbridge, professor of agricultur-
al chemistry in the Agricultural
College of the University of Mis-
souri,, in a recent lecture before the
Scientific Association in Columbia.
Pale pinkish steak is from baby
beef and is not nearly so palatable
as more nature meat" said DR..
Trowbridge, The juiceiness of a
steak varies inversely with the
water in it" He explained that the
lucy" appearance of a steak that
delights the epicure comes from the
fat melted into the fibres of the
steak and that the flavor comes
from the amido acid nitrogen and
the fat in the fibres.
