first of all, why do I have to tell the chef how to make the steak? "medium rare"? "well done"? those are words made up by wizards or something. second of all I don't like how they taste. they're super expensive and they just taste so boring. chicken goated steak boring. I'm in my early 20s so I'm getting used to some "acquired taste" things slowly like wine and coffee but steak is still so bland.
I mean I doubt any country could credibly lay claim to invention of "slab of meat". But I'd bet America is the biggest consumer of steaks.
per capita? almost cerainly some Euro countries + Argentina, Uruguay, even Brazil have it beat.
Per capita, the US consumes the most poultry, the third most beef (second to Argentina and Zimbabwe), and the most Beef and Pork combined. Exclude fish and the US outstrips the next country by about 30kg/capita/year.
Depends a lot on how meat is prepared (and I can't find good sources on that), and your definition of steak. But given the enormous excess by which the US eats steak-y meats compared to others. The US is almost certainly either 1st or 2nd.
Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico consume lots of beef.
Of those countries, only Argentina exceeds the US beef consumption.
One more reason to dislike Argentina
