I get my sausages from Mr Arnold (holbrook in suffolk)

best butcher ever. only open fridays sadly as he is now about 80yrs old - he closed on the other days he said the 'boy' couldnt take over - the 'boy' is his lifetime assistant who is 77yrs old.

all the meat is pork joints no scrap (mostly pork shoulder). im hungry now.

Sounds like the best kind of butcher.

Any butcher who doesn't work with whole carcasses should be avoided. My butcher has an on-site slaughterhouse for pigs and sheep and employs a full time slaughterman.

I buy a lot direct from farmers too.

It's often cheaper, as well as better. The farmer I buy lamb off sells lamb shoulder at 4.50/kg, whereas it's 6 quid per kilo at Asda. If he sells it to Asda he gets about 80p/kg from them for it, so customers buying directly off him is a win:win situation for everyone; except Asda, but they've got it coming.

Not nearly so much as Somerfield though.

When Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall tried to get the supermarkets to agree to a meeting about free-range chickens, they were all cunts. But Somerfield was probably the worst. The CEO said something along the lines of "we don't see any point in encouraging our producers to go down a road that will not be maintained by our customer base."

Translation: "There's no point us doing the right thing because all our customers are ignorant chavs." I refuse to shop there now, even though it's only about 40 yards away. The sausage with the bone in it was the missus' fault.

Ahh a proper butcher

my local rare breeds man is that twat off the telly Jimmy as in Jimmy farm. rubbish meat and so expensive.

try belted galloway for steaks if you can or Dexters that are totally wild on devon moors - taste and texture like no other.

I like Dexters

Never eaten the meat, but for some reason I just have a soft spot for the breed. They just look like what I think a cow should look like.

dexters will be smaller joints but tasty

I cant eat Jersey cows as I worked with a jersey herd some time ago...huge brown eyes..sniff...cant eat a friend you know...
nice milk tho and used to drink it unpasturised and warm

oh yeah get your dextor meat nice and local - www.dexterbeefonline.co.uk/ most of the farms deal direct and its not too pricey

I know of one farm about 20 miles from me that does dexter.

I don't buy a lot of beef because my missus isn't keen on it, sadly.

i bet she likes a bit of pork, though

Yes,

but not nearly as much as she likes a good bit of sexual intercourse.
