THE INSIDER

TEMPLE GRANDIN IS AWESOME

According to The Lego Movie, "Everything is awesome!" and that is even
more true for anyone lucky enough to be depicted as a Lego minifigure.
Dr. Temple Grandin, renowned animal-handling expert, owner of Grandin
Livestock Systems, associate professor of animal science at the Univ. of
Colorado and long-time contributing writer at MEAT+POULTRY magazine,
was depicted in Lego form in the "Go Ahead and Do It" art exhibit in Austin,
Texas, last fall.
The exhibit presented diverse portraits of prominent women in science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. Artist and science
journalist Maia Weinstock created a number of Lego minifigures of women
who inspire her for the exhibit. Grandin's Lego likeness was joined by
astronaut Ellen Ochoa, marine biologist Sylvia Earle, theoretical physicist
Lisa Randall and scientist Chien-Shiung Wu, among others. Weinstock has
created more than 60 Lego minifigures of science and technology leaders.

OVER herd
"Greetings from
sunny Florida."
"Yes, it's only 2
degrees up here."

call.

PULL 'EM IN WITH SALMON
High Liner Foods, a value-added
seafood supplier in Portsmouth, NH,
says its latest salmon offering is more
than just another fish from the sea.
The company recently claimed a spot
on the barbecue bandwagon with its
Pulled BBQ Salmon as an alternative
to traditional pulled pork. High
Liner developed the product to help
foodservice operators "stand out from
the herd". The product is ideal for
tacos, wraps and as a salad topper.

WHO CUT THE CHEESORIZO?
Vegetarians who want the flavor of
meat but not the real thing, can get
their fix with Cheesorizo, a cheese
that cooks and tastes like sausage,
according to Pholia Farm in Rogue
River, Ore.
Cheesorizo is made with highquality spices, apple cider vinegar,
yeast and whole cow's milk, but not
meat - no way. Available in Italian,
Fiesta and Maple Sage flavors,
Cheesorizo can be sautéed, baked
or fried and used as a salad topping,
taco or pizza meat or a substitute for
the real thing.
Gianaclis, Pholia Farms'
famed cheesemaker and founder
of Cheesorizo said, "So far, every
buyer or consumer that has tried
Cheesorizo has loved the taste and
been thoroughly surprised that it is
meat-free." We call this "imeatation".

MEAT LOVERS' ROCK
The National Palace Museum in
Taipei, Taiwan, is home to the MeatShaped Stone, one of the country's
most revered artifacts.
The Meat-Shaped Stone is made
of banded jasper carved to look like
a piece of Tung-p'o pork or stewed
pork. The stone was stained to give
the appearance of skin and lean and
fatty layers of pork.
The Meat-Shaped Stone dates
back to the Ch'ing dynasty (1644
to 1911), according to the National
Palace Museum. It is often displayed
with a cabbage carved from jadeite.
The cabbage was made during the
Quing dynasty.
