[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 691781, member: 18958"] OMG, Going. Brisket is a long, long way back in the rear view mirror. And capon? I buy the Tyson whole chickens in the Walmart fridge and am so thrilled because they are infinitely better than the Foster Farms more readily available here, which are dreck. We buy most of our meat, fish and poultry on sale now at the mexican market, where when it goes on sale sells like crazy and is therefore fresh. (Do you have enough of a Latin population where you are, Going, to have Mexican markets? The vegetables and fruits are good too and when on sale, cheap. Like Roma tomatoes for .50c a pound--fresh and good. And sweet white corn 4 for $1.)I buy beef at between 3.40 and 3.70 a pound and chicken at $1 to $1.20 a pound, even breast meat, and fish around $2 a pound. Of course the beef I buy at these prices is not the coveted cuts, but mexicans typically eat these cheap cuts thin sliced and quickly pan fried, it is good and quick, especially with a lot of spices which I use. Even if we could afford it,[I] because I do not understand why it costs so much[/I], I do not buy. I do not think I have ever paid more than $5 a pound for meat. I long for lamb (years since I made it) and veal (decades) but I do not relent. And corned beef. Yum. They made a mistake at a cheap market I go to--mis-pricing a bunch at $2.75 a pound. I loaded up with maybe 6 packages of corned beef. They would not give me the meat at that price. I refused to pay theirs which was not a bad price really. I think, $3.50. There is so much to be done with the cheaper cuts of meat to be bought at the mexican market, I make do, and I am grateful for it. [/QUOTE]
