think they so poplar that they release certain cuts at different times?
Yeah maybe, the Mrs has just said that.

Maybe they test the market on a particular product, see how sales go.



But I bet the stock supply at the beginning of a product life is limited.

My branch have the burgers in stock permanently full time now but it was hit and miss for like the first 8-10 months.



That rib-eye looks tasty as fuck, nice marbling.

A small amount, not a lot really.

Yeah you could get minced sirloin and press your own burgers, the fat from the sirloin rinds would be enough.

If the rinds have been cut off then I think the mince would be a little bit too lean, the burgers would crumble easier.


Butcher most probably sells steak mince ready to go anyway, most usually do.

I've been making stuffed burgers lately.

I got a 'Stufz burger press' from Wilko's a few months ago for about £7.......

The guy behind the big Sunrise parties was in the news a couple of years ago for robbing banks in London using something he attached to computers. He's not the bank robbing type though. I met him a couple of times at Valbonnes in Maidenhead on a Sunday. Tony Colston-Hayter he's called. He's a right posh boy and he probably made the most wedge out of acid parties. He handcuffed himself to Jonathan Ross on tv when he was campaigning to get the parties legalised lol.
The Djs have earned the most in the long run though

I get my minced steak from my proper butcher, I rarely buy supermarket meat.

Not sure which cut he uses though, probably steak off the bone.

Musclefood do some Wagyu steaks, not tried them yet, plus if you fancy something different lots of exotic stuff, zebra, crocodile, llama, buffalo, horse...and when it gets closer to Christmas, if you want to give your kids a treat with a trick feed them some Reindeer, Cranberry and Apple burgers and tell them it's Rudolph afterwards :P

I'm lucky though, there's a shitload of English butchers in Bradford, the indoor market in the city centre has about 6.

Halal on every other street corner in the Paki areas.


And because I actually live in Shipley which is just outside Bradford, we can take a 25min drive through Skipton way for the farm shops.


I'm actually drowning in good quality meat here tbh.




If we go up by Leeds/Bradford airport I can pick my own Ostrich and there's 2 brothers doing goat steaks.

Goat steak is next level good eating, tasty as fuck.

Muscle food is poor/cheap quality and it comes frozen.

I'm probably not qualified to comment on the quality, though my stuff has tasted fine but it doesn't come frozen, it comes chilled, half their sales pitch is that fresh is better than frozen
My bad then, I've been told it comes frozen.

It is cheaper/lower quality than can be had elsewhere for similar price for sure though, I've had a few bits here and there from a pal.
