The Chairmaker Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I bought some pork baby back ribs from Hook 'n' Block. They describe them as "a pack of 1 larger or 2 smaller racks of baby back ribs with a pack weight of 1.1kg.". https://www.hooknblock.co.uk/pork-loin-baby-back-ribs What I actually got was this in two out of three packs: They added what I regard as scrap ends in to make up the weight. These bits are only fit in for the bin. Not good at all and I'll be avoiding this lot in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittmab Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Just had a brisket point end from Turner & George, was superb. Couple of little onglet steaks too for the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look the same quality I get from ABC butchers near me... proper ribs 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshman Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I live in South Wales, but I use Rendalls online butchers in Scotland......some great offers and bbq packs on there https://www.onlinebutcher.co.uk/meat-packs/bbq-packs/bbq-banquet-for-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub333 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I ordered some meat from John Davidsons on the advice of forumers here. Very impressed so far. Slow-cooked some beef cheeks for 5-6 hrs and they were superb. Last night, cooked some of their Argentine 'gordito' sausages - big and chunky with plenty of spice. Got a big pork butt in the freezer and a couple of their Denver steaks. Looking forward to all of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurHolo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It may seem strange to some, but I haven't tried buying meat on the Internet. I prefer to go to the store and choose what I like the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely go local if I could get them. There's not a single butcher near me that can provide meaty baby backs or Tri-tips etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyceathes Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Looking for reviews in restaurants that offer meat delivery Brisbane is very important. I need to be sure it is safe and really good quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chairmaker Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The best steak that I have in a long time came from Bone and Block in Liverpool. A 1Kg ribeye from old ex-dairy cows. Pricey, but worth every penny. https://www.boneandblock.com/collections/ex-dairy-beef 60 day aging is perfect for my tastes. I've aged ribeyes to 100 days and they start getting a touch too funky for me at that point, but 60 days gives a lovely balance between the aging and the beef taste. Highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never done it before,so I'm going to do it on the rotisserie. Also had some baby back ribs from them which aren't the meatiest so I'll source my ribs from my usual butchers Do you remember the weight and approx size of it? thinking of ordering one from Costco for Boxing Day (4-5kg) supplied by the same company you got yours from. Just unsure if the length will fit in my cooker and if it would be better to order 2 smaller ones to cook side by side. I'm used to Porchetta being pork loin wrapped in a pork belly with lemon/herb stuffing. But this Taste Tradition's one seems to be a boned and rolled suckling pig, which sounds lovely if so?

sotv Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I ordered some steaks from Larders of London turned up this morning before 10am (Expecting 21/4) after ordering yesterday. Well packaged insulation and frozen ice packs and steaks individually vacpacked and then packed in another strong paper bagWon't be cooking them on the pellet grill till after Easter, so gone in the freezer for now. But from appearance they look really good value for £24.99 kg for 32 day dry aged steaks + Delivery. Ordered 1kg Wing Cote de Boeuf and came in at just over a kg (wished I'd ordered a couple now). They look perfect for lo&slo and finish off with a sear.Ordered 3 x 500g Porterhouse Steaks (came in different sizes 1 x 530g 1 x 640g & 1 x 740g but just charged the 500g price from the drop down menu for them on the website. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Dry Aged Porterhouse steaks cooked last night on the Pellet Grill, Smokeboost to IT of 115F, turned up to 500F and fried it off in Butter, Thyme and Garlic Clove in a cast iron skillet, spooning the butter over the steak constantly till reached about 135F Internal and rested for 10 minutes, really pleased with these steaks from Larder of London Edited May 10, 2022 by sotv 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
