This time of year always gets me wondering, What do people who don’t love turkey or ham eat at Thanksgiving? 

I mean, is it a law you have to have a turkey? What if turkey makes you cringe?

There are people out there like that, you know. You may be related to some of them.

So what do you do?

Well, I think I’ve found the answer.

It was used as a weapon.

I cannot even bear to think about a beautiful steak being hurled about in order to inflict bodily harm.

Steak is meant for peace, man. Peace.

Read on here for all the gory details – if you can stomach it.

And let this be a lesson to all of us. Steak, when used in the manner it was intended, is one of the world’s most beautiful creations.

Let’s keep it in its place, folks!
