Until the age of 19, I believed that when you ate meat, that it wasn't the muscle of an animal. Take for instance, a breast of chicken. I was under the impression that there was a special material, called "meat" that was left after they took the breast muscle out of the chicken. Same goes for ribs, loins, etc. A Ham was not the heinie of a pig, but yet the "meat" that was left over after removing the heinie and scraping off the muscle/tissue, etc. My girlfriend at the time, a daughter of a farmer (just my luck) was absolutely dumbfounded by my theory. She corrected my error of 19 years..then said, "Don't ever...ever say that in front of my family....ever."
