Found a recipe at the bottom of this court case:

http://www.state.il.us/court/opinions/appellatecourt/2001/4thdistrict/october/html/4000895.htm

The record contains the following recipes:

Single Meal Loaf Recipe
==================
This recipe must be followed without substitution or variation in procedure. Any such change could effect the nutrient content.

2 oz Ground Beef
Brown off in kettle and drain thoroughly

4 oz Canned, Chopped Spinach
4 oz Canned Carrots, Diced
4 oz Vegetarian Beans
Open and drain all vegetables well

4 oz Applesauce
1 oz Tomato Paste
1/2 cup Potato Flakes
1 cup Bread Crumbs
2 oz Dry Milk Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder or Flakes

Combine beef and vegetables. Gradually blend in remaining ingredients until well combined. Mixture should be stiff but moist enough to spread. Each loaf should weigh 1 1/2 pounds precooked weight and be scaled to insure proper weight. Place mixture into a loaf pan that has been sprayed with pan release and lined with filter paper.

Each loaf should bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit in convection/steam oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the loaf reaches 155 degrees internal temperature.

Each loaf should weigh 1 1/2 pounds precooked weight and be scaled to insure proper weight. Place mixture into a loaf pan that has been sprayed with pan release and lined with filter paper.

Each loaf should bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit in convection/steam oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the loaf reaches 155 degrees internal temperature.

Milkshakes: should they come with whipped cream on top or not?

I worked for a very famous deli & cake company here in NYC and we served all of our milkshakes with whipped cream and a burgundy (not maraschino) cherry). just my 2 cents on the topic.

Happy for him, but don't like the name. The Butcher's Block is better than that. There were so many great suggestions! One more:

Matt's not been in here in a couple days, but it looks as though it's going to be "A Butcher's Blog". Yeah, he's pretty jazzed about getting it going!

Some of those name are pretty awesome. I like the idea of keeping a simple but catchy name, nothing too silly.
As for the possible content:
I don't eat meat, but my boyfriend, who knows nothing about cooking or food or meat, does. I try to teach him what I know to make him more adept to cooking meat, but one area I can't really help him in is buying the stuff or figuring out what to do with different cuts. I think it would be helpful to someone like him to see some section where the subject is catagorized by cut. Perhaps including recipes and techniques for each.
Perhaps keep at least some of it simple and geared toward people who don't spend too much on groceries (like my boyfriend).
Good luck!

"Matt the Knife" is a good one. Nice going!

And that would be another good topic for a butcher's blog: knives.


From Talk

I see a lot of "votes" for A/The Butcher's Blog. But I kind of hate it. It's way too typical. IMHO, I think you should pick something that is a bit unusual/catchy, but not way out there.

From Talk

Nobody asked me, but if you ever get to be a star on the Food Network you ought to be called "Matt the Knife" as suggested above.

I also highly recommend godaddy.com.

@onepercent99 ... I use godaddy.com for domain registrations and hosting. They also have tools for installing WordPress as your blog right there in the admin tools. Best service I've been able to find. Throw me an email if you'd like more info: dave(at)micuisine.com

I also like "A Butcher's Blog" the best, but if you go w/"The Butcher's Block", how about "On the Butcher's Block"?

From Talk

@gibson and anyone else that would like to help me here....where can i register that name?...thanks

From Talk

You should keep it simple, but make known who you are and what you're blogging about.

How about "Matt on Meat"?

From Talk

starting a food blog ........

I think "A Butcher's Blog" is the perfect name for the content you intend to share. The local butchers in a family run grocery store where I live are my most valuable resource. I love MelsDiner's suggestion of showing us how a butcher cooks along with the best cuts of meat to use for a specific cooking method.

abutchersblog.com is currently available.... so register it asap and become the pioneer in butcher blogging. Fantastic idea & good luck!

i really like "the galloping tenderloin."

or how about:

Beef is the New Black
The Butcher Diaries
I Brake for Beef
You Can't Beat This Meat

From Talk

Stop & Chop
Swap Meat
Choprite
The Rolling Bones
crafty carnivore
Glad to meat you

Good luck, and let us know the outcome!!

"Lovely Matthew, Meater Maid"

[LPC wonders if that's a little too much ...]

Similarly ...

"The Smelly Butcher"
"Bust My Chops"
"Bull Testicles for Dinner"
