3418.0. "Spoon Roast ???" by KOPEC::ROBERTS () Tue Jan 14 1992 10:27

    Anybody know what a "spoon roast" is?  Purity Supreme in Chelmsford has
    beef roasts that they call spoon roasts, and a little plastic spoon is
    included with the roast.  What's this clever new marketing deal
    supposed to mean?

    Hi Ellie.  Bombay Mahal soon?  According to the meat department at
    Purity, a spoon roast is a boneless N.Y. sirloin roast, which is
    supposedly so tender that you could cut with a you-know-what.

    See ya 'round the quadrangle,
    Di

    Hi -- yeah, I was thinking about Bombay Mahal maybe next week.  8^)
    So tender you can eat it with a spoon, huh?  Do knife sharpeners work
    on spoons?   (Well, *maybe* I'm too cynical....)

The day I see *any* piece of beef in a MA supermarket that's "so tender
you can cut it with <whatever>", you'll see me jumping and screaming
for joy in downtown Maynard at noon. But don't hold your breath.

Reminds me of a guarantee I saw in a supermarket: "if you're not
satisfied with our beef for any reason, we'll refund your money". Do
you suppose they'd give me my money back if I returned it saying it was
tough and tasteless? In this part of the world, that'd be like trying
to return a gallon of water because it's too wet.

 Piece of cake. Take the NY sirloin and put it in a pan with beef broth.
Simmer for three hours. You can then use a spoon to "cut" it. :-)

 So, what day are you going to be in Maynard? :-)

Nyuk, nyuk. Always a wise guy. How long did you say it has to cook?
