brawniness

And it’s less characteristic of the exhibition than is Mitra Lore’s heavy-metal contribution, which mocks the brawniness of a piece of forged industrial machinery by adorning it with pearls and rhinestones.

But since I wanted to go meatless, I approximated bacon’s brawniness with a dash of smoked paprika.

And though I can appreciate the soft, sausage-like brawniness of fried Spam, I don’t crave it the way I do that cheesy artichoke dip with all those sweet, crispy fried onions.

Crisp-edged, velvety and still remarkably juicy, it had a mineral tang and funky brawniness that would make its blander, cornfed cousins taste like chicken in comparison.

But what flank steak lacks in softness, it makes up for with a deeply mineral brawniness that can stand up to the spiciest, tangiest, most pungent marinades.
