I think its important to mention aldi and lidi also scored 100% on beef and lamb, a lot of people still think they only sell imported foods but its great to know they sell 100% british. |

Which is funny, as I was reading Waitrose's website last week & it said they source New Zealand for 50% of the year and...

Its the % drops of the likes of the Coop and m+s on Lamb that stands out. |

Just highlights the limits of a very shallow survey, I suspect. |

It is good that they are stocking British meat, but it doesn't say anything about the flavour of course. When I have bought supermarket meat, I have often found it awful. I tend to take for granted that the stuff I buy from the farm shop or farmers market tastes good, but it really brings it home when I have something to compare it with. |

My Morrisons sirloin was fab last night. I might be a little biased as I now work for them but not had a bad piece of meat from them yet |

I have never knowingly eaten horse, although I don't object to it in principle. Just like to know what I am eating and where it comes from. |

the problem wasn't that it was horsemeat. Those posh journalists thinking about their daughter's little pony. The problem was that the meat hadn't be certified as fit for human consumption.
If you are buying a recognisable cut of meat, a proper butcher would be able to identify the species, if not breed.
I'm afraid we've got the Coop's half-price NZ lamb this Sunday.  |

But most of those farm shops and farmers markets are also selling the same meat to the supermarkets. Perhaps the customer is more careful with food bought with the added value of a farm shop or market?
I am not siding with the supermarkets but I wish people really had a better understanding of farming and of how varied it is. |

Is there, potentially, a difference in the hanging times, maybe? |
