Christmas Meat. 19:43 - Nov 30 with 2597 viewslifelong

Where are the good people of Planet Swans purchasing their Christmas meat this year?

Personally, for the past 6 months or so, I have been buying meat from Hugh Phillips butchers in Swansea market..superb quality, so that is my choice.

Turkey crown, beef joint and gammon joint from my friendly butcher in Felinfoel.

I’ve been delighted with his offerings ever since we moved to the village ten years ago.

I used to go down Wind Street for mine but the wife started objecting.She said the old bird was rancid.


We've been cutting back on meat, not going veggie or vegan but cutting down to save the planet so it'll just be a small chicken and a leg of Ham from the butchers on the enterprise zone.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Turkey Crown from Costco. Good quality, cheap.

Usually get their own Kirkland brand, not in yet; we went with the more expensive Gressingham one. £20 discount, flogging them off as they'd been ordered too far in advance... may get more crowns to scoff after Christmas... love turkey sarnies.

I wouldn't call Costco crowns cheap, very nice but not cheap.

Capestone organic poultry farm just outside Haverfordwest supply M&S. Their "Pembrokeshire bronze" turkeys are a taste sensation, and worth the extra expense.

Their own brand are. Gressingham ones, not so much, but like I said, were flogging them off.

The Mrs said they were £60 last week, or is she telling porkies and secretly stashing some of the cash I'm giving her ? I'll need to investigate further

Cant go to Costco too often though, the bill usually starts with a 1 but more often it's a 2 or 3.

You know growth hormones are illegal in the EU. That’s why the US can’t export meet to the EU.

Seriously, there is bad organic and excellent conventional production

It's on a Friday 10-1. Quite a good choice of produce.
I love juicing the organic veg.

Edit. It's at the Butcher's Arms.

Full turkey or crown?

The Gressingham crowns were £45-£55. Got one for £25, like I said, they'd been orderde too early so getting rid of them.

Know what you mean. Wife was interested in what they had when I decided to join; was there for hours scribbling things down - products, quantities, prices etc. Got home having spent £140.

Next time, she came along, filled trolley. "Oh that'll be about £100." "Errm, last time was £140 for less..." "Ok, no more than £170 then".

She went white as a sheet when the bill came to £280...

Fresh crowns. I keep going down the wine aisle. Campo Viera Gran Reserva when they're on offer at £8 (£15 in supermarkets) and McGuigan's black label red or Barefoot malbec at around a fiver. Trouble is, I keep going to the middle wine island they have.
