A certain family will remain nameless
had a family tradition to serve up a
roast of beef at family gatherings and
holidays.
The roast was seasoned, tied and both ends
of the roast were chopped off and discarded.
One year the granddaughter was following
instructions on how to cook the roast. She
asked her mother,"why do we chop off the
ends of the roast?" The mother said, "that's
the way Grandma did it". So the granddaughter
asked the grandma. Grandma why do we chop the
ends off the roast beef. Her grandma replied
"I use to chop the ends off so it would fit
into the pot"
The mystery of a tradition was solved.
