I saw a lot of people having tried Great British Meat Co where pleased with what they received so had a look on there website. Their website is easy to navigate compared with some of the other online butchers websites and good photos and description of the various cuts.
As I came across a cut of meat I would sit and think of a recipe. I could have very easily got carried away. With a list of meats in my basket and recipes flying around inside my head I hit buy! Well i ordered:
Beef Burger (Hoping for some sun this Bank Holiday weekend - BBQ!)
2 x 113g/4oz
2 x 170g/6oz
Bavette (Pan fried with chips and maybe a bernase sauce)
500g
Lamb Shanks (Slowly cooked maybe in wine)
2 x 567g/20oz
Pork Chops (Pan fried)
2 x 227g/8oz
Whole Pork Belly (Confied and served with black pudding below)
1kg
Beef Stir Fry Strips (Chinese stirfry)
500g
Black Pudding
420g
Pork Sausages
8 sausages
Smoked Back Bacon
500g
Whole Chicken (Indian one pot)
1.4kg
Pork Ribs
1kg
Duck Breasts
2 x 320g
With just over 7kg of meat the total came to £60.
I had the order delivered to work so it wasn't left out all day. The packaging was very impressive and once opened everything was still nice and cool (see pics). Plus a nice hand written card welcoming me to Great Britich Meat Co as this was my first order.
Having had a carnivorous few weeks and tried all the meats, would I order again... Yes. Obviously when time allows there is nothing better than a trip to the butchers. But as a better alternative to supermarkets this has to be it.
