I guess I always lean to beef, but the beef cuts all taste somewhat similarly to me compared to pork.  The pork cuts are all very distinct from each other in addition to being delicious.  I guess for me it's a tossup between beef and pork.  Beef may not be as varied but I think it is more satisfying somehow, even if not as tasty.

Isn't this a remarkably pointless thread?   =D

No. This thread is not pointless. The answer to your question is 'bison.'

I finally found a positive use for the term "diversity".

All the critters are delicious if proper cookery is applied.

If you're forcing me to choose one, it's the noble bovine all the way.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

I remember from a long time ago on a similar website, where many of the contributors were of the opinion that the correct answer was "squirrel".  These were apparently afficionados because some of them made the distinction between squirrels that ate acorns (maybe predominately squirrels back east) and those that were forced to subsist on pine cones (western cousins), because the ones that ate pine cones were said to be nearly inedible.  My wife feeds the squirrels in our back yard either walnuts or peanuts.  We haven't eaten them yet.

Dearest Wifely loves to pack my lunch with turkey or chicken.  I'm tired of that.

And ground turkey is nasty.

She sometimes makes a "white chili" with chicken, that's pretty good.  probably because it's massively spiced with chili powder.

Baby Shark! do do do do do do...

Actually, it's a tossup between beef and pork. 

Shrimp is mighty good, but not as versatile even if Bubba can recite 200 ways to prepare it.

First of all, "fowl" is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal.

Secondly, shellfish is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal.

Thirdly, fish is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal.

Fourthly, game is not an animal. You listed several different types of animal.

Fifthly, the best animal is bacon wrapped beef.

Sixthly, bears beats Battlestar Glactica.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Bacon wrapped beef is not an animal, either.  Stop being so pedantic!   :lol:

I ingeniously expanded the animal concept to include animal groups, okay?   Think outside the box!  =D

Elk.  Everything else is just to survive until the next Elk dish is served.

I prefer a nice medium rare steak. One of our favorite restaurants is a Belgian cuisine restaurant does an amazing Ribeye that is perfectly charred on the outside but perfect on the inside served over a bed of fries with a choice of mayonnaise dipping sauces. One of my other favorites brings the whole ribeye to the table for you to select your thickness and pairs it with an amazing baked potato and a great salad bar. Either of these places my wife and I can go have a great meal for about $80-100. We did go to Ruth Chris down in Savannah for my birthday and that meal was utterly amazing but also almost $200.

Beef

Everything else is a runner up.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Amen.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The answer is obviously chicken, because of the eggs thing. Also a very cheap animal to keep. Next would be cow or goat because of the milk+meat equation.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.
