What is the best value or money meat that you are buying graces7 ? I often think the supermarkets are selling meat too cheaply considering the effort it takes to get an animal to slaughter

Am leaving out one particular large Supermarket as I think they're they Devil incarnate
Below, though I haven't properly looked at it, is a possibly good website... How's that for a recommendation

Bord Bia have a truly excellent recipe section, but one major gripe I have with it is that while extremely tasty, they're anything but cheap, or even reasonable if you need to buy most or all ingredients.

Is this from the horses mouth?
I hear where your coming from but they did write. Texts like the Crith Gablach give the ratios of cows to bull and oxen so its clear enough dairy was the big thing. In the sagas their always going on out the Hero’s Portion of the roast pork. A lot of prestige attached to roast pork.0 -

Interesting and telling that rather than talk intelligently and sensibly, you revert to insults and gibes that achieve nothing.
As I am often houseboiund and indeed bedbound, the internet is a wonderful resource. FYI, I get all phone calls and internet access for E10 a week . The simple laptop was a gift too..
Cheaper than travel , shoe leather, petrol etcc.
I keep in touch with friends around the world, read, watch films, get knitting patterns etc, all without leaving my bed.
And by reading around issues, I get a wide picture of the situation.
Not this kind of blind prejudice .
Meat is not essential of course. Of course I eat, but carefully so.
Ask most pensioners re meat; they often raise their eyes to heaven.
Clearly you feel threatened...
I am sorry for your ill-health and although I am not yet a pensioner, I am well on my way to being one. I put my current state of health down to an active and healthy lifestyle, including what I eat...and yes, I may not be eating as much beef now as I did in my younger days, I can still manage on €5.00 and make enough for 3 days at a time!
Not expensive Graces7 if you really try.
I know plenty of people who complain about prices, as you say yourself: "Cheaper than travel , shoe leather, petrol etcc". It is relatively expensive to farm today, without the middle-men taking their cut before the prices that you see on the shop shelf.
I do have a son who is vegetarian, so I am well aware of the differences of opinion and I find that while I have no problem with (mature) individuals choosing which foods they wish to eat, I do get wearisome of those who rant on about 'blind prejudice' and intolerance to me, a meat eater.
I am also well aware that even at my age, I am still learning...but I generally sense myself when that is occurring - but don't tell anyone! 0 -

Please stop attributing to me what others think and do... eg being vegetarian and not knowing what i am talking about!
REALLY!
There is intolerance here to those who choose for whatever reason not to buy meat. Whether from cost or convenience or idealism.
I am not disputing any of you for eating meat.
( I don;t drink or smoke either or eat out...)
I don't rant re not eating meat; YOUR choice and my choice is different.
Nor do I try to make our rescue dogs and cats vegetarian.
The insinuation here also that ill health is connected with not eating meat? When I first contracted an incurable illness I was eating meat. Not a huge amount and lamb more than beef as I lived where that was locally grown.
And I feel better and have more energy for the way I eat.
Over the years I have changed; and this happens with age too. I am OLD! This illness also means I cannot eat big meals and in fact I graze. And eat well, within limits.
I have lost the taste for red meat; the cost is an issue also. For E5 I can buy 6 free range eggs ( supporting a local market stall) and a large piece of cheese, which I enjoy far, far more than a piece of meat and over a longer period.
I found too that eating even a small amount of meat made me heavy and lethargic.
NB I gave the last beef given to the dogs as I just could not eat it. Again; this happens as we age.
There are a great number of foods I cannot eat with this illness and usually an aversion means that that food also has joined that list
I have training as a dietician so I do know what i am about on this matter. And am widely read re this illness.
Not impressed with the likes of the Hugh man either. I know the theory well,
NB small point re cattle; they feed them from bags here.. Not solely grass reared.
I find it very odd at markets when the pork sellers have pictures of them cuddling their pigs.... Which they then kill.. Death is a trauma however inflicted.
Strange that a group has as its major argument that other foods are badly reared.. you need to do some dietary assessments of even battery chickens. I eat very little chicken now either so please think before trying to put me off even that!!!
And I do know the methods and the way forward is to improve these.
As I know also the way many cattle are treated at slaughter houses and the terror any animal feels nearing death.
The field we abut now has this year's calves in it;; beautiful young critters with big ear rings.. it is an added pleasure that I will never eat them. I can chat to them and even pet them.
Blessings and peace to all here.. today, white fish and home grown potatoes and greens; a free lunch as the fish was a gift and actually fish ahs far more protein etc than beef and less fat etc. Low cholesterol too 0 -

Graces7
I think you are getting a little bit carried away.
This is the farming and forestry forum, nothing else.
People were giving their own experiences to you in the belief that it might be relevant to you. You only offered information about your age and illness after these people offered their experience to you.
Nobody insinuated that not eating meat could contribute in any way to an illness - in fact, its quite the opposite when roran pointed out the health of people who are meat eaters and people who are vegetarians.
You pointed out about meat in your earlier post:?? way above our means on a small pension... it is very costly indeed
But in a subsequent post, you pointed out that people are feeding chicken to their children because of the cost:Because of the cost, period. Not a matter of choice these days. You need to get in touch with realities, please
However, you were put in touch with the reality that chicken is a false economy in comparison.
You have pointed out your age, your long term illness and your charitable side - none of which are relevant to the topic. However, as you pointed out, you are entitled to have your opinion. So is everyone else. This is a discussion board which allows any registered user to give their opinion on the opening post and on your posts. Please don't feel aggrieved that people offer their views. That is what the forum is about.
