短释义：
Gristle is an unpleasant surprise in a bite of meat, a fibrous bit you may end up spitting in your napkin. It makes sense you can’t chew it, since gristle is a type of connective tissue that’s mainly found in ligaments and doesn’t break down when it’s cooked. Skilled cooks can easily cut out any gristle before cooking meat. In Old English, gristle simply meant “cartilage.”
软骨是肉中耐嚼、不可食用的部分。如果你的牛排里有太多软骨，你可能会把它寄回去——或者认真考虑成为一名素食主义者。

软骨是一口肉中令人不快的惊喜，是一种纤维状的东西，你可能最终会吐在餐巾纸上。你不能咀嚼它是有道理的，因为软骨是一种结缔组织，主要存在于韧带中，煮熟后不会分解。熟练的厨师可以在煮肉之前轻松切掉软骨。在古英语中，“gristle”的意思是“软骨”。
