Why do butchers have yellow breadcrumbs on their meat? (lemmy.ml)

I've noticed and I've never really understood why that when you buy any meat that is crumbed from a butcher in Australia, it is always or nearly always yellow in colour.

Why do they do this and where does the yellow colour come from?

This isn't meant to be rude or anything, I'm just not sure why you're telling us this.

Is it just an in interesting fact for non-americans?

the OP asked a question about butchers. I have had the fortune to live in most of the united states over the past 40 years and have never experienced what the OP has.

I frankly find your comment condescending and for no reason. It is rude. Does your experience differ in some way? My comment was on topic to OP's query.

OP asked why, when they see crumbed meat in Australia, the crumb is yellow. I’m struggling to see the relevance of your response that you’ve never seen crumbed meat in America.

Do you have a problem with people mentioning America?

Your original comment could be taken in various tones and they wanted a clarification. For what it's worth, it is useful to some to hear it, since it could help people see differences between the US and other countries. It's just said in a way that felt more like "Butchers don't do this" rather than "As the contrast, I don't see this done in my country". Either way though, in the spirit of the question it is sorta off topic.

It's like asking "Why does this currency have this person on it?" and getting the answer "I've never seen that currency used anywhere I lived." While true, it's not really relevant, doesn't answer the question, and can either be taken as a long winded way to say "I don't know" or stubborn self centered everything worth knowing is centered around your own experiences. Which is definitely reading into it too much, but there are people who act like that, either as trolls or real jingoists.

Okay.

I guess in the same way you found my comment to be for no reason, I also found yours to be the same.

IMO, your comment wasn't really on topic. They asked a question about why it happens to them, and you replied that it never happens to you. How is that on topic?

I did find it interesting that it doesn't happen in the US, I was just checking that you were just making a comment about your own experience, and not to help answer the ops question. That's cool, and I was just checking.

I hope you have a nice weekend:)
