OT Beef at the supermarket. butcher shop?
Micky,
Trying to confirm my recollection, that it used to be that one could get any cut of beef he wanted at the supermarket meat department. I don't think much has changed. The "usual" cuts are on display and if you ring the bell the butcher will trim them or cut whatever you want off the side in his freezer. We're talking beef here. While the butcher does grind hamburger there are tubes of factory made burger which are cheaper. The butcher ground burger comes with a choice of fat content, though. There's a lot more lamb available and veal seems to be disappearing where I live. A seperate fish counter is common in a lot of the newer store. This is true in all of the chains where I live. Some of the small non-chain places still make sausage but that's now pretty rare. Pork is like beef, if you don't see it, ask. For example, it's not often I see a standing rib roast for sale, and then when I do, they have a bunch all week. Rib-eye syeaks are always available which means your butcher always has rib roasts, ask him. Nothing much is on sale but all the chains have satellite banks where you can take out a second mortgage and pharmacies where you can get Paxil, for shopping. |
