[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2300319, member: 26737"] As I understand it, cattle that have been driven aren't necessarily stringy, but they end up with a lot of gristle. I'm also given to understand that they rarely had beef on the trail at all, and that mostly what they got were ones that died on the way, which probably wouldn't make for the best eating. According to Jake McNiece in [I]The Filthy Thirteen[/I], when he killed a cow to provide meat for the officers, he kept the liver and heart because they could be eaten that same day, but the carcass had to be cured for two days, or else anyone who ate the meat would get dysentery. I don't know if that's peculiar to European cattle (or at all, for that matter), but that might also have something to do with it. I'm not in the liver camp, and never will be--the smell of it cooking very nearly induces vomiting. It's the only thing I've ever smelled that brings that reaction, and I've smelled some foul odors.
