The whole point of Angus beef in the beginning was that grass fed Black Angus was pretty tasty.
Once you decide to call your convenience store hot dogs "Angus hot dogs" you have debased the meaning beyond all recognition. This was inevitable once McDonald's started its Angus burgers.
Allow me to begin the Hereford backlash. In the interests of making sure that we don't eliminate other breeds of cattle in favor of an Angus monoculture (I'm looking at you, bananana and potato growers) I will hereby encourage a boycott of anything labelled Angus until the current craze recedes into the dustbin of fad and fashion. An exception can be made for grass fed beef that happens to be of the black angus breed. But otherwise, it's time to eat anything other than the Angus for a while to assure the continuation of other beef cattle breeds.
For my part, I will encourage the consuming of stringy Longhorn cattle.
