I wouldnt even know what to buy? Dont have a clue as to how to cook any meat. Never eaten a steak. Seems kind of heavy. Chicken cesar salad now and then. Plus lately I have discovered those ready cooked, lemon pepper chickens at Reasors. Get one of then about once a month. They go a long way. I definitely wouldnt call myslef a vegitarian. I dont purposely avoid meat. Just never got into the habit of eating it a lot. Certainly dont go to the grocery store with the thought in mind of "getting meat". I just thought I was average. Was why it suprised me when so many on here mentioned it as a factor in choosing a grocery store. I thought "bubbas" were the kind of people that ate a lot of meat. "Yea gonna git me some beer and a steak, go out to the lake and get sunburned" kind of thing lol. [:P]

Any type of meat you eat comes form an animal which doesn't have trouble with devouring other things for sustenance... Vegetables are completely innocent and did not ask to be part of the food chain..

Why torture vegetables?

I think the Reasors by my house on 41st and Yale is fairly nice. Its certainly convenient lol. And my goodness, all you people so concerned about buying meat. Who buys meat? Just sounds odd. And I am assuming your not talking about sliced sandwich meat or Lean Cuisine Chicken Carbonara.  Most meat I buy is Canned Tuna, in olive oil. Good source of Omega 3 oils.


Artist: You don't buy meat? You only eat canned tuna? Wow. I thought I liked you...[:D]

I defintely buy meat - but almost exclusively at Sam's. The meat at Walmart and most other supermarkets is "Up to 12% salt solution". Boy that ticks me off. How much a pound for salt solution? Three dollars? Seven dollars? You pay exactly the same for salt water as you do meat - they are not discounting your price by 12%. Another complete rip-off. Just give me freaking 100% meat. What's the deal with that?

I wonder how many health problems are related to this "Mystery Meat" packed with unnecessary salt - that so many of us are trying to avoid?

If you research it - it is called "enhanced meat" and is marketed as though they are doing the consumer a favor by adding a salt solution. It is just a great way to rip us off. God this makes me mad.


Probably also why Artist weighs about 50 lbs. less than I do. [;)]

I'd never heard that about salt solution before.

The only ones I'm aware of with additives are the small 5oz. filets which are vac-packed.  They have a ton of phosphates in them.

That's why I like Perry's, so far as I know they dismantle the carcass right there on-site and put it in the case, no hanky-panky.


Oh yeah - even the stuff on the styrofoam and handi-wrap, if you look at the tiny writing it says it has been added to. Looks fresh - but it's been tampered with.

I'll have to try Perry's. Always thought it would be expensive. I have NEVER heard a bad thing about Perry's. Only good stuff.

Wow, Artist, just wow. You are the first person I have ever met that has never had a steak. Of course, it doesn't usually come up in conversations, so there may be lots of people I've met who live a steakless existence. I bet you're pretty freaking healthy. (What do you use your eye-teeth for?)

Oh - info about "enhanced meat".

http://virtualweberbullet.com/enhancedmeat.html
and
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-enhanced-meat.htm

It is actually becoming quite difficult (or expensive) to find regular meat. Even some organic meat has been enhanced, and is still considered organic.

I am suprised nobody knows about this. It's a meat conspiracy! Pass me the tin-foil hat. Seriously, though - this really bothers me.

Well, my organic beef source is gone.  Dawson's Market @ 81st is officially closed and Center Market has a new owner.  Wonder why?

Guess I am going to Fadlers!

just as long as they don't add sodium sulfite.  That was the trick Food Lion was using to "refresh" rancid meat.

Perry's prices are about the same as Alberson's meat prices were, just better product for the $$$.  Only problem with Perry's is, it's out of the way for a lot of people.  Fortunately I live in mid-town and it's no inconvenience.  Believe it or not, the Whorehouse Market at 51st & Union has some pretty good T-bones and ribeyes from time-to-time.

There's not much better in life than a charcoal grilled Perry steak or burger.

I have been shopping Warehhouse Market, Inc. for 37 years. I have saved thousands of dollars with them over using those 'fancy stores'. I will continue to shop WM probally till the day I die.  After all once you eat, it all comes out looking the same.......[}:)]

It's not about what comes out, it's about what stays in.

You really should splurge and get a Tuna Steak. To cook it, get your skillet hot with a little olive oil, salt and pepper both sides of the steak and sear it on both sides until you see the edges turn white (it's best at medium rare in the middle).
Serve on salad, on rice, pasta, couscous, orzo or even as a tuna burger on a bun.

Purchase at Bodeans, Reasor's or Wild Oats.
