Bought some Meat

I ordered some meat from a farm shop with an onsite butcher
Me and my pal who lives over the back went halfs on an order and it got delivered today
The star of the show was the 3kg of Rump Steak we each ordered.
So me and Yvonne had a Steak tonight
So much better than the shite the supermarkets sell to us these days.
And marginally cheaper
So Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, ASDA, Sainsbury + I am not buying your beef products any more
And neither are millions of others who like me, are buying direct from Farms.
We have been ripped off for long enough

Buying from a butcher is best. I’ve had meat from Lidl before and it wasn’t bad. Won’t rule them out.

Lidl meat doesn't come close to this Lena
Most Lidl meat is tampered with to increase the weight
Not good

The taste is soooo much better. And the ground beef doesn't shrink down as much when cooking because water has not been added for weight

@Ineeddentures I read they soak it in water before weighing it to add weight.

Aye
Well I know this stuff was from an Animal well looked after and which ate grass in a field, and was slaughtered humanely and the meat not had anything added to it
It's good, we enjoyed a nice steak last night

They started adding water to what the called a Big Daddy Rump on Aldi
I didn't know until I cooked one and water pissed out of it whilst it was cooking
Clear water,

They used to have good quality.
Until they started cutting corners to maximise profits

@Ineeddentures Water added? How they do that?
Yes, it is best to check.

Some butchers here now are buying imported Beef and Chicken which has water added to it
I think it's best to check with a butcher where the product comes from

I haven't bought meat in years. I can't cook or bake anymore; so my poor husband lived on frozen dinners and an occasional steak or hamburger that he made. Now that he's gone, I live on sandwiches and frozen dinners. Enjoy your beef!!!

Beef is best Linda.
I could live on sandwiches and frozen dinners as well
I probably would if I was single as I know I wouldn't cook for myself

@Ineeddentures It does get boring. Fortunately I have Meals on Wheels for lunch 5 days a week.
