Quality Meat

I generally sign up to stacks of newsletter - I'm curious and read fast!  Obviously, some of these are to do with food and I receive the regular newsletter from Donald Russell.  They deliver quality food across the UK but I am mainly interested in their meat (she says without a smutty wink).

Their meat looks beautiful and got me to thinking about how much we are prepared to spend on food.  With the state of the economy, most of us are looking to "down-size" our shopping, if we can find someone who sells a roast chicken for half the price of the one in Sainsburys then we all trundle off to buy one.  But honestly, should we be economising on an aspect of our food which involves the death of a sentient creature?

Not sure about that - in fact, I think that perhaps we need to learn to eat less meat and eat less popular meat.  Stew is not a dirty word and neither is curry but you can use far less expensive cuts.  Just a thought - perhaps a new years resolution.
