I hope you had some kind of potato with that.

That looks yum. What was the weight?

Freelanc3r · 22 Nov 2010 at 18:19

no idea, he did manual price so it just had that on it rather than the usual weight, price per kg etc

Flubble · 22 Nov 2010 at 18:57

thats a good price on it.

There's a tiny old grotty shop not far from me that is run by a very strange looking hunch-backed little old Butcher. People queue completely out of the door and right down the street sometimes when he's open, he must have either very, very good Meat, or very, very cheap prices! I've never been in there as I hate queuing and the guy creeps me right out

They're probably waiting for a chunk of the 'special stuff'

Which Butcher was that?

Also is that a Birdseye steam bag of veg?

I love going to the local butcher rather than buying from the supermarket. Our butcher is more expensive, sometimes, but he makes up for it with the quality of cut and the meat itself. Also, you get an opportunity to ask advice on certain meats, what to have and just a general chit chat. Plus mine throws in a few extras if I fancy making some crackling/pork scratchings

The vegetables on there take up almost as much space as the meat. Disgraceful.

Love the final presentation with the little buttery eyes. Nice.

Reminds me of one of those sun yellowed menu pictures you see pasted in the windows of cheap restaurants.

Hope it tasted good.

Big juicy tasty steak
but no potatoes and frozen veg

sorn21 · 22 Nov 2010 at 21:13

That's a bargain.

But you should have peppercorn sauce and chips.
It's the only way.

Pestilence · 22 Nov 2010 at 22:11

OM NOM NOM.

I'd love to have a local butcher but sadly it's the supermarkets for me.

Hehe.

wordy · 22 Nov 2010 at 22:18

Argeed, I've done the same and get some great deals, I buy a lot of meat from them for my diet, tons of chicken, steak & steak mince, and the lb of bacon for saturday monring sarnies

.
Last week got a great piece of ribeye, and they only charged me for a small piece of rump steak

Freefaller · 22 Nov 2010 at 22:25

Yeah I'm friendly with my local butcher and fish monger - 5m12s walk from my house! Happy days!
