They claim that consumers are confused by names of meats like rump roast, pork butt and others. So, to clarify the consumer\u2019s choice of pork and beef, URMIS has suggested new names for more than 350 cuts in your local meat case.<\/p>\n<p>What are some of the new meat monikers you might look for? If you\u2019re planning on serving up a juicy pork chop for dinner, look instead for \u201cPorterhouse chops,\u201d \u201cRibeye chops\u201d and \u201cNew York chops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Need a pork butt for your dad\u2019s famous slow-cooked, pulled pork sandwiches? Keep an eye out for a \u201cBoston roast\u201d instead.<\/p>\n<p>If pot roast is on the menu at your house, you\u2019ll need to find a Denver roast\u2014even if the cow came from right here in the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but these names confuse me more than the meat cuts I\u2019m used to buying at the grocery store. When I pull out my favorite family recipe, I\u2019m going to look for what Mom or Grandma wrote on the recipe card\u2014not what URMIS renamed the cut of meat.<\/p>\n<p>The news story did note that the new meat monikers are voluntary and at the discretion of the grocery stores. And, like everything in our free market society, the consumer will have the final say.<\/p>\n<p>I just hope I\u2019m not the only wondering which city my meat will be named for next week.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the Texas Farm Bureau website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texasfarmbureau.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.texasfarmbureau.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Amanda Hill I came across a news story this morning from NBC\u2019s Today Show that reported a group within the meat industry is moving toward renaming some of our favorite meat cuts in order to make them \u201cmore consumer-friendly.\u201d The group heading up the new meat monikers is the Uniform Retail Meat Identification Standards\u2014URMIS, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-state"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1038"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1045,"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038\/revisions\/1045"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
