The other white meat.

[AniaSM]

What is "The other white meat?" I have heard this phrase said but dont know what it means.

At least here in the U.S., it's an advertisement ploy began several years ago by the pork producers. Due to its low fat content, (pork isn't marbeled, so the fat is easily trimmed from the edges) it's considered fairly equal to poultry products for health reasons...

i always thought it was lamb as thats quite a pale 'red' meat

[Pippa68]

I think it's pork..

[jno]

no, I think lamb counts as red, like beef. My guess is also pork.

[Bellringer]

I've not heard the expression but, could it be "long pig". ie Human flesh.

[Pippa68]

No..that's the 'other other white meat'.

When my wife is at the butcher and says that a cut of beef has too much fat, he replies "It's only white meat!"
