...less fat and 36% fewer calories than ordinary beef, although the cholesterol content is not significantly lower. Chianina is a descendant of a breed raised in the Chiana Valley of Italy since Roman times.

I for one am looking forward to the first meeting of the Sarcastic Table, though also expecting invitations from the Tasteless and Irrelevant Tables pending publication of this article...
