Huh, that's honestly really surprising to hear. Beef has one of the strongest smells and tastes, I always thought that would be the meat that people that don't really like meat would hate.
Beef is a very "clean" meat in terms of odor and taste IMO. It makes sense to me that vegetarians would be more accepting of beef than other meats (apart from chicken breast).
Ruminant meats in general have this "clean" quality to them, but beef is the mildest of the rums
It really isn't. I only like burgers because you get to season the meat properly and fill the buns with sauce and salad.
Steaks are also an incredibly mid food to me, they're chewy and don't taste like much at all, I'm pretty sure people that supposedly love steak are just virtue signalling.
Beef stews can be pretty good tho, but that's only because of the veggies, spices and savoriness of the meat, which you could get from other stuff too anyway.
