I was looking at some of the various steaks in the meat case at Walmart today and also listening in to a young girls conversation with someone who had her on an adventure to buy some steaks. She was rather confused and she was laughing at something the other was saying on the phone. Then she looks at me and says. Hey you look like a nice old man can you help me. I said sure what can I do for you. Well she said can you tell me what all these are. She pointed at the steaks so I said that's meat! She laughed and said she wasn't a meat eater and her boyfriend sent her to get some Delmonico steaks and she had no idea what they looked like. Then she said Delmonico is a restaurant so how can it be a steak!!!!!( This gets better)
So I explained that Ribeye Steaks are said to be a cut that Delmonico's Restaurant in NYC used and the name came to be known as Delmonico Steak. She looked at me like she didn't believe me so she said let me call my boyfriend. So she does and then says to him please talk to this older man who is trying to be a help .
I said hello to him and he started laughing and said what she tell you. So I said she wants a Delmonico Steak and I told her that is the same as a Ribeye Steak. ( right about now I did not care any more and just wanted to get away) So he says the steaks I want are in a package of three . I looked down in the case and said there a a few varieties that come three in a package. I am sure you want Ribeye's and they do look perfect by the way. OK he says tell her to get 4 packages. I told her and was just so exhausted with this I said have fun. Then she says wanna come for dinner on Tuesday. I said no I will be out of town. Oh she said then thank you so much.
She really was sincere but had no idea how to by meat or what it looked like. She must have spent near $50. bucks.
