The Truth About Marinades
Going Against the Grain of Conventional Myths
Greetings!
The end of 2021 is fast approaching…. Just 3 weeks and then the push in 2022 starts full on!
🐙 has 2 new product releases dropping next week, just in time for the holidays but first, let’s talk some Coffee ☕️
Premium Coffee December Releases:
This is the second month since the Octopod Coffee Launch, and the 2 selections this month are stunning.
Colombian (Washed): this batch is comprised primarily of lots from producers in and around the Buesaco and Tablon de Gomez regions of Nariño. This regional lot was carefully constructed… and cupping every single small lot individually various times before being included within the main lot. Tasting Notes: Mandarin, caramel and almond.
Nicaragua (Natural Process): This coffee is a Stand-Out. The care that goes into every lot that is processed in this farm is second to none, with careful detail at every stage, starting with optimal cherry picking at the farm level all the way through carefully controlled fermentations and drying (~30 days for this Natural!). Tasting notes of Starfruit, Honey & Clove make this an exceptional coffee to remember!

Steak 🥩 Challenge:
I floated the Idea of a SuperMarket Steak Challenge on Twitter and the response was strong
So as 🐙 prepares and documents the results, it brought up the topic of Marinades.
This is an area that is full of misconceptions and just poor education in general.

What works, what doesn’t and bust some old myths along the way to make cheaper cuts flavorful, juicy and delicious…
Let’s get it On… 🥩 🔥
Brief History
It’s no secret that tender meat is preferred by most people across the globe. It’s become so desirable that people will pay substantially more for a cut of meat that is reliably tender, rather then risking a tough and chewy experience.
