"Clod" from Texas

"Clod," as in a shoulder of beef from Texas. "Clod" is in OED and DARE, but

Though you can also get pork ribs and pork chops, the emphasis is on beef,  
most especially brisket ("fat beef") and shoulder ("lean beef"). Also known as  
"clod," the latter resembles a clod of earth from the surrounding cotton 
fields  in its humpy blackness, and tastes something like smoked roast beef.

OT: TYLER & COWANS
...
Someone asked about the words "Tyler" and "Cowans" on  Dave Wilton's word 
origins site. Tyler Cowan, as I've mentioned before, is my  old chess friend who 
has a web page on Washington, DC restaurants. Hm, maybe I  should eat out at 
restaurants.
