It was terrible. It would have made good shoe leather. But the velveting technique worked wonders. Not only did the meat taste good, you could chew it and swallow it.Ken Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456950469985007845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-52387345365079435892011-09-13T08:21:41.060-07:002011-09-13T08:21:41.060-07:00Good work Holly

Now I know how and why and will use this method very soon.
