Know Your Cuts of Meat!

Fans of David Letterman will no doubt have heard about his “know your cuts of meat” game where audience members must identify various steaks and chops to win valuable prizes. Expert grill jockeys must also be familiar with all the options the humble cow, pig, lamb, or chicken has to offer us.

Fortunately for those of us who are not professional butchers, the folks over at Ask The Meatman have a wide variety of meat cutting posters for sale that can teach you everything you need to know.

From color prints to those classic butcher shop charts, they’ve got something for everyone. If you are a really serious carnivore, put one on your wall and use them as a checklist, ticking off each cut of meat as you barbecue them to make sure you haven’t missed one!
