By "against the grain" would you mean across the grain? And "with the grain" would be in the same direction as the grain? Yes and yes. There is something conflicting about our views of meat. When it is cut across the grain the muscle fibers are short and break apart easilly, or "tender". When cut with the length of the grain they become long strings of muscle fiber and hence "tough". The most notable exception being Beef Brisket. I understand that meat has been your lifelong field of expertise and that you have probably read dozens of papers and spoken to numerous butchers. I sincerely hope we can come to some agreement on this as I feel it is some mis-understanding on my part.

Ladies, just try for a moment to get your minds out of the gutter!
We are talking about FOOD here. Rick has suggested that cutting meat across the grain makes it tough and I say cutting with the grain makes it tough. California Rick is a meat inspector and I value his opinion but feel that perhaps in this instance he may be wrong. I don't think it's going to be that hard to straighten out this meat thing without coming to blows.
