[EternalOptimist]

I got a new pig on sunday. and two lambs, they are in my chest freezer in the garage.

I am getting a quarter of a heifer in january.

that should keep us going for a year or so

A mate got bought a pig by his missus as a wedding gift, along with a (basic) butchery course.

Kept it (the pig not the missus) in the local butcher's freezer and just used to pop in from time to time to hack a bit off.

Great idea I think.

I wouldnt like the hacking bit, i dont think.

but the bottom line is
lamb £6.50 a kilo
pork £2.20 a kilo

beef will be c £6.00 kilo

Most laydees do, she might not like sandwiches though.

I'll ask her but I think I know the answer

Seems to me like asking to end up eating way too much meat to be healthy.

Sort of like my occasional stunt of buying a huge beef joint in a supermarket, as it is marked half price and thus irresistable, but then having to wolf a huge portion of it despite the packet saying "serves 6 to 8"

(although one can wrap what little is left in silver foil and freeze it to make a beef curry next weekend)

yep. she looked up demurely and said she would prefer a muffin
