Omaha Steaks

[TORQUE THIS]

Anyone get them?? Local stores, mail order??

Good, Bad, just OK...

 

[JApol]

I have heard they are some of the best. I have heard you also get some dry ice for some other personal enjoyment

 

[gitchesum]

I've gotten them a few times in the past.



Best steaks I've ever had, even compared to the butchered show calf that we had cut up a few weeks ago. Broke it's leg, so off to the packing house it goes.



You won't be disappointed. Trust me.





And my wife can attest to the personal enjoyment the dry ice brings a grown man. Had to bust the last water bottle with a dart gun though. Made one helluva boom too.

Really good meat, we enjoyed it.

My wife was a little upset though, wanted to know what I did to the toilet. It was boiling and steaming over! :-laf

Dry Ice?? Personal Enjoyment??? I gotta hear this...

Did the steak log or the dry ice do that?

I've always had good experiences with Omaha.

Allen Brothers makes those from Omaha taste like dog meat.

 

[scootergmc]

For that price, I'll eat dog meat.



edit:



FWIW, Consumer Reports July did a rating of Prime Filets, Lobel's ($60/lb. ) came out on top (excellent), Allen Bros. ($60/lb. ), Omaha ($42/lb. ), and Costco ($30/lb. ) followed behind (very good).

I have used Omaha Steaks. Good products, more pricey than supermarkets- thus, I do not buy for myself. But it is convenient for sending gifts to others.

Mark,

We got some as a gift a few years back I agree with everyone else... Awsum!!



Been a while since I've played with dry ice... . but that's lots of fun too!!

We used to have liquid nitrogen at work.

That was fun.

Don't forget acetylene bombs/rockets/cannons.

Don't forget acetylene bombs/rockets/cannons.

in HS, buddy took a rubber, and filled it with o2 from the cutting torch in the welding shop. . taped a smoke to it, lit the smoke and put it in the display case for the school trophies... well, not much left of the case or trophies after it went boom. you could hear it through the entire school. i don't know if they ever found out who actually did it, but they always suspected my buddy. .

We had a guy at work that liked to build bombs. (REAL bombs, not a two liter coke bottle with oxy/acetylene in it)

I'm glad he was over that stage by the time I started working there.

I am still wanting to try the trick the propane man told me when he was filling our tank at work. He said they used to make propane balloon bombs. Fill a balloon with propane and throw it in a bonfire. Makes quite an explosion, but no shrapnel like the beer bottles with gunpowder we have tried at some of my parties! GOD, I wish we had a video recorder for that! If the lens would have survived it, you bet it would have been interesting!!!

Speaking of black powder, in my younger days we had a golf ball cannon... :O
