【文青別鬼扯】 ---「別再拿美豬來嚇人了」
今天立委蔡正元於質詢時表示,蔡英文日後將積極推動加入TPP,小心開放美國豬肉進口後,屆時會有一堆豬農帶著「太陽豬」來台北抗議,很可怕的哩~~~。蔡委員雖然表現出一副很愛護豬農的模樣,但看到這種只會嚇人鬼扯的操作手法就讓人很倒胃口。
其實,美豬的問題吵了好幾年,未來結果究竟如何,豬農們差不多也早就有心理準備了。但各界總愛拿美豬做文章,經貿官員每當在「台美貿易暨投資架構協定(TIFA)」談判場上談不順時,就拿美豬做文章,然後會對國內媒體放話表示,如果不開放美豬進口,日後無法進TPP,這導致我們與美方談判上的困擾,好像一切的一切是豬農的錯一樣。
呵呵,其實美豬在TPP的談判場上,根本是微不足道的議題。真正牽動龐大利益的,反而是智慧財產權項目。雖說經貿談判官員總愛拿美豬來說嘴,講的好像TIFA和TPP談判從頭到尾都只有談美豬一樣。但我們還真想問問:TPP要談的又不只有農業和美豬,撇開美豬不談,其他項目你們談的如何了?為何每次談到TPP,你們就只會講美豬呢?
之前我們就曾說了,美豬佔進口豬肉的比重越來越低。以2013年為例,當年進口豬肉共30,413公噸,其中美豬8,609公噸,而加豬為19,330公噸,美豬佔的比例也才28.3%。台灣更該小心的是來自加拿大、歐洲等地,同樣不含瘦肉精的廉價豬肉(http://goo.gl/BDOKX0)。面對來勢洶洶的進口豬肉,台灣的養豬產業勢必得積極升級轉型才行。
首先,自1997年口蹄疫爆發後,已經過了將近20年的時間,台灣居然還沒從疫區名單中除名,導致我們的豬肉出口受阻,養豬產業萎縮。過去台灣豬肉之所以能攻佔日本進口豬肉市場的48%,除了台灣豬肉的鮮美外,更重要的就是靠地利之便,讓我們得以出口「冷藏肉」到日本。即使價格高於美國、丹麥,仍能獲得日本消費者的喜愛。當各國紛紛利用自由貿易協定,大力出口農產品時,如果我們還死守台灣、豬肉出不去,到頭來只有死路一條。因此,未來勢必得先好好檢討台灣畜產的防疫政策,徹底讓台灣擺脫口蹄疫的陰霾。
其次,過去台灣豬採取的是活體毛豬拍賣機制。這種交易制度不僅落後,同時造成生物防治的風險。此外,活體交易間接導致豬農養豬時,只在乎體型,不在乎肉質。某些豬農雖注意到肉質的重要性,但現存的市場機制並無法讓肉質較好的豬獲得較高的拍賣價格。日後若要對抗歐洲、加拿大的平價豬肉,顯然要建立一套能讓台灣豬農進行豬肉產品差異化的機制。
相信大家去Costco買美國牛肉時必定會注意到,不同等級的牛肉(USDA Choice, Standard, Prime)都標示得清清楚楚,價格也有所不同。農產品必須要透過清楚的分級,才能產生等級與價位的高低,農民才能選擇他想要主攻的目標市場。同樣的,台灣的豬肉也應建立起一套清楚的豬肉評價體系(pork carcass grading system),而這套體系則要搭配「屠體交易體制」並行。也就是說,日後有企圖心的豬農於飼養時,就能針對不同的產品市場搭配不同的飼養線與飼養模式。養得好的人,他的豬肉就能被評定為較高的等級,獲得較高的成交價格。
美豬並不可怕。可怕的是,當我們勢必得開放進口時,有些人還拿此當作毫無意義的政治口水戰。

For this video, we went down to Wolfgang’s Steakhouse at Robertson Quay to savour a $1000 Steak Mukbang! Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, founded by Wolfgang Zweiner, specialises in 28-day dry-aged USDA Prime Black Angus Steak served in an upscale setting. Their steak is aged in their in-store dry-aging room and USDA Prime grading refers to the highest possible steak grade given by the US authorities. Dry-aging is a process where meat is placed in a controlled environment (temperature and humidity) to enhance the flavour profile and texture, creating a deep, “meaty” flavour. The ambience is exceptional with a clear view of the Singapore River, high ceilings, an expansive bar and mahogany flooring.
For my mukbang, I ordered a Porterhouse for Four ($382), Rib Eye Steak ($148), Filet Mignon ($125), Onion Rings ($20), Lobster Mac N’ Cheese ($30) and Cream of Corn ($17). For dessert, I got Key Lime Pie ($17). To pair with the steak, I also requested for a bottle of red wine. The star of the show was the enormous porterhouse steak, served on a blistering hot plate that was previously under a broiler. It contained the best of both worlds, a divinely tender filet mignon and a sumptuously flavourful strip steak. Still affixed to the bone, the whole piece was probably around 2KG of dry-aged goodness. Thanks to the dry aging process, the meat truly encapsulated the signature deep “meaty” flavour that dry aging is known for with the tenderness to match.
As for the sides, the Lobster Mac N’ Cheese never fails to impress. Whipped up with 3 types of cheeses and filled with large chunks of lobster, the side was not overpowering or too heavy as it can tend to be. It was elegantly balancing right on the precipice of too much and too little in terms of flavour. I also had my favourite dessert, Key Lime Pie. It was similarly well-balanced and I could rich notes of the condensed milk used in the batter and the fragrance of lime. The crust was a delicate biscuit base that gave some bite to the soft interior of the pie.
It will come to no surprise that this was a thoroughly enjoyable mukbang for me. The food was stellar from the wonderful dry-aged steak to the sides and dessert. Pairing the meal with an excellent glass of wine only elevated it even further. However, as I ate with Mervin, I underestimated his capacity and realised that I could have eaten significantly more. I look forward to attempting a greater challenge in the future with Wolfgang’s Steakhouse. If you are looking for a classy atmosphere, ridiculously good food and drinks to match, look no further than Wolfgang’s Steakhouse. Do head over there, especially for special occasions for your loved ones. They deserve this treat!
