All of them sell crappy pork and chicken. Even the very good-looking
country ribs I bought a week ago at the last independant supermarket in
town (Silver Lake Foods) were obviously full of water when I cooked them.
I haven't bought any beef in a year or two (except whole briskets and a
couple of pounds of frozen hamburger I got at Aldi to check it out) We
still have some beef left in the freezer from cattle that my FIL raised
and had butchered. When it's gone, it's gone, cuz he's gone. :-(
The last real beef that I bought was a couple of Porterhouse steaks from
Cub Foods. They were expensive but very good; compared to the prices
now they were a bargain. Last time I was at Wal-mart, I looked closely
at the beef and it was "enhanced" with "solution". So all the other
supermarket beef is probably injected (or tumbled), but I don't know
that. There are some small grocery stores in the surrounding towns that
might have good meat; I dunno. There's also a grocery store downtown
near the synagogue that has a reputation for selling good meat. The
butcher shop takes up half the store. I should check it out too.
Maybe I need to buy a half a hog early next winter and cut it up myself.
I can hang it from the rafters in the garage...
Best regards,
Bob
