I've been using ground pork, chicken, and turkey instead of beef for the most part for a while now. I've noticed that when I do use beef, it's kinda gross compared to the others. Like it can get a bit of a BO smell to it.
It made me realize I don't even really like beef. I've mostly gravitated to instances of it that grind it up and mix with a bunch of spices and stuff like meatballs and burgers. The beef flavour itself isn't really pleasant, I find.
