You ever see that irridescence in meat? Kind of shiny and rainbowy? I often see it in ham, but this time it's in my roast beef.

What casuses that?

One reason why I'm mostly vegetarian.

I've often wondered that myself....I've seen a lot of that in frozen dinners.

I know of what you speak...sorta.

I haven't a clue, either. some kind of preservative? Some kind of glycerine? (Maybe it is a glycerine something; if we can distill it, we can make dynamite, just like in "Fight Club" only no soap...Hmmm...How frightening is that?)

Ms Fledermaus, who does not see it on sushi..thank the goddess...

It reminded me of oil on water. Then I thought that maybe it is the oil (grease) coming to the surface of the meat.
