Study Notes
American System of Beef Cutting
- The first step in the American system of beef cutting is primal cutting, which involves dividing the carcass into primal cuts.
Meat Shopping
- The meat counter can be intimidating for the average shopper due to the variety of options and unfamiliarity with cuts of meat.
- Knowing the different cuts of meat and their prices helps in determining if a shopper is getting a good deal on meat.
Benefits of Knowing Meat Cuts
- Expanding one's knowledge about cuts of meat allows for more informed purchasing decisions and the ability to try new recipes.
Primal Cuts
- Primal cuts are the initial cuts of beef made during the butchering process, which are then further subdivided into sub-primals and retail cuts.
Horticulture
- Horticulture is a subsistence strategy characterized by the small-scale, non-industrial cultivation of plants for food.
- Common tools used in horticulture for cultivation include hand tools, such as trowels, and mechanical tools, like tractors.
- Horticulture typically involves the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
- Arboriculture, a branch of horticulture, primarily focuses on the cultivation of trees and shrubs.
Transition to Sedentary Communities
- The transition from nomadic human communities to sedentary horticultural communities was contributed to by the development of stable food sources, such as agriculture and horticulture.
Distinctions of Horticulture
- Horticulture is distinguished from agriculture by its focus on small-scale, non-industrial cultivation, whereas agriculture involves large-scale, industrial production.
- From an anthropology perspective, horticulture is distinct from agriculture in that it often involves a more personal and intimate relationship between the cultivator and the land.
