Scraping Two-Week-Old Meat Off the Floor


A scrap of meat, after it's been on a well traveled floor for a week, is barely noticeable.  It becomes the same dirty gray as the painted concrete floor and any of its former meatiness is stamped out of it. I seem to take sweeping more seriously than the proprietor of the butcher shop where I help out. So when I set to sweeping and saw that many of the bits that would not be swept into my pan were in fact very old pieces of meat caked onto the floor, I knew I was in for a treat.  Seriously, this is a treat.  The satisfaction of using a scraper to pop one of those filthy flesh cakes off the floor is unparalleled.  

Scraping two-week-old meat off the floor: Grade A fun.
