ontheedgeI assume by "protein" you mean MEAT?
I object to substituting the vague term protein, for the specific word meat--especially when MEAT is what we're talking about. It may be trendy, but it ignores the fact that plant foods (among other things) also contain protein. And not to put too fine a point on it, but the majority of your products are intended to be used on animals that through no fault of their own, found their way to our plates, having eaten nothing but plant-based protein.
That said, on occasions when I am cooking meat, the only seasonings I use are corse salt and cracked pepper.
ontheedgeDear Ray, I'm not trying to be a smart guy. I'm involved in the meat processing industry, Beef, Pork, Chicken. Just trying to get a flavor of what you like the most. No Tofu for me.
Happy cooking.
