Not sure about this but I played it safe.
My partner went to a local butcher yesterday. We had pork and beef ribs for some friends round yesterday which went down great.
She also bought a joint of beef. To be honest I didn't like the look of it and it was not from a butcher I have used before. It smelt a bit strong so I washed and hung it in my fridge.
Today I cooked it believing it to be top side but now think it was Brisket with some basting fat on it. Upon carving it was clear not all was right. It had a blackish/purple is centre and was as tough as gristle.
Trying the end part it tasted bitter and I am sure it is well off. Phoned the butcher who opens today and he put the phone down on me when I suggested it maybe off.
I am letting it cool then freezing it, maybe I will give it to a food agency.
Really not happy as I have ruined Sunday lunch
