Why Does Fresh Meat Sometimes Smell Off?
Has anyone else ever cooked a perfectly fresh piece of meat, only to be hit by a weird, almost overpowering smell? I’m not talking about spoiled meat—this is meat that’s well within its use-by date, looks fine, and has been stored properly. But after cooking, there’s this strong, almost raw-like odor and taste that just ruins the whole meal.
I first noticed it with pork, but recently it happened with horse meat too. It’s not rotten or sour, just an intense, animal-like aroma that’s hard to describe. It makes me wonder if it’s something to do with the way the meat is processed, or maybe the animal’s diet? Or is it just me being sensitive to certain smells?
It’s so frustrating because the meat is safe, but the experience is off-putting. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips for getting rid of that weird smell?
