Good Food

As I am sure you have figured out by now we are advocaters of buying good food. But buying good food doesnt need to be expensive, not if you shop smart.

As i had the day off work on Friday I had the chance to visit our local butcher, a family business who slaughter, butcher and sell local meat. Sounds expensive you might say, but it is anything but.

As an example two big rib eye steaks, one of which is pictured opposite, were just £6.30 and they were matured to perfection and melt in the mouth. The meat was like butter and melted away at the touch of the knife.

Whenever I get the chance to visit the butchers at Grenoside I take the chance to stock up the freezer with top quality products. The produce I bought last week will see us through until the next visit just before christmas, not bad for a spend of a shade under £40, especially as this included steak, lamb leg joint, four duck breasts, chicken breasts and duck eggs amongst other more basic provisioning such as steak mince, sausage and diced pork.

I know it may seem to some like more hassle to shop around at different establishments for different produce but it can pay off if you spend a little time out a couple of times a week to stock up. Green grocers next to stock up the fridge with fresh fruit and vegetables.
