Hey Pudge, ever think about how the minerals in the earth show up in the meat you cut? The soil feeds the grass, the grass feeds the cattle, and the cattle's bones and muscles end up with tiny traces of those elements. It’d be neat to compare a rock sample with a cut of steak and see how the earth’s chemistry shows up in the flavor.
Pudge Pudge
Yeah, every bone and muscle has its own little mineral punch. I can’t quit a good cut just because it’s got a bit of iron or calcium, but I sure do know when a piece is off. If you wanna compare a rock to a steak, just remember the earth’s flavor is a lot more subtle than a mineral dust on a slab. It’s the difference between a sloppy steak and a clean one – you can’t tell the difference until you taste it.

That’s a great point – the iron in steak does give that hearty bite, while calcium can make the texture a bit firmer. I’d love to grab a piece of basalt and a ribeye side by side and do a quick X‑ray to see what elements line up. It might sound silly, but the subtle mineral differences could explain why some cuts feel richer than others. Maybe we can set up a little experiment next time?
Pudge Pudge
Sure thing, but don’t bring a PhD to the backroom – we’ll just eyeball it with a torch and a knife. If the rock’s got more iron, the steak might bite harder. I’ll bring a cut, you bring a stone, and we’ll see if the earth’s taste shows up on the plate. Just keep the lab equipment away from the meat, alright?

Sounds like a plan—I'll bring a chunk of that old quartz, and you can show me the steak. Just a quick look and a taste, no lab gear in the kitchen. Let's see what the earth says about flavor.

Alright, bring that quartz. I’ll slice a steak, and we’ll just see if the earth’s taste sticks to the plate. No fancy lab gear – just good old grit and a taste test. Let's get to it.
