As for those experts who claim supermarket meat not as good as small butchers shop - basically cr*p - Coles and Woolies as a rule buy the BEST livestock available for direct slaughter or to go into feedlots to be slaughtered when fat. (A small number of specialty butchers shop regularly knock C & W off in market place for the real PLUMS) - the only advantage the small shop can gain is length of 'hanging' and specialty cuts - sorry for the generalisations and YES there are exceptions - but I digress.
I never claim myself to be an expert but I can claim to my own personal experience.
I used to purchase a lot of meat from Woolies, perhaps five years ago. And a butcher who owns several shops in Adelaide told me that they purchased the same meat as Woolies. The meat from WOW, especially the steaks, were excellent. Then we moved and I shopped elsewhere. A new WOW store opened up and so I returned. And purchased meat from there as before, and was extremely disappointed in the quality on a few times. I now find the meat from Coles to be better.
Doesnt make me an expert but it doesn't make you one either.
