    Yes, its an abscess. If it feels like it has sand in it while you cut it, it is most likely a granuloma (aka tuberculosis). Im a vet btw, just dont eat that and clean everything with soap.

    What does granuloma taste like? Recommended spice pairings?

    As someone who works in the meat industry, no, just toss it. It's filled with bacteria and you don't know how far it had spread. When we encounter an abscess at our plant we just toss the entire cut of meat and have to clean and sanitize any equipment that comes in contact with it.

    I was cutting a chuck primal once and it had a thick rubbery white tube filled with white pus all the way through. I threw the whole thing out before my boss had the chance to tell me to cut around it 😆

    Seriously though man I’ve never seen anything like it. I guess it was cancer? Maybe a cancerous blood vessel? It was about the diameter of a nickel. That cow had to have been hurting

    At our pork plant cancer is usually black, it's the other thing we get in a cut of pork where we toss the whole thing

    Vet pathologist here. Just so anyone doesn't freak out if they see this themselves, the chances of this being tuberculosis is very low. Granulomas can occur from many different organisms (fungi, parasites, weird bacterias) or even embedded foreign material
