You seem to be confusing supermarket "premium brands" with good quality meat.Comment

My local butcher; which is situated across the main road from the large Tesco; has flitches of different bacons that people like, they slice it then and there for you to the requested quantity and thickness and it's only about 10% more expensive. I also buy sausage (they make their own to multiple recipes) and eggs from them (50p/dozen cheaper than Tesco).
I buy the majority of my meat from them as it's good service, the prices fair and they know what they're selling as most of it is grown, slaughtered and cured locally. They're pretty busy too.
Stek if you have spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, and eggs, without the eggs but with spam then it's not spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, and eggs, it's spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, and spam which is a completely different meal!Last edited by TykeMerc; 19 February 2011, 22:34.Comment

Better than the bitter butter
Will this better butter make my bitter batter better."
So she bought a bit of better butter,
Better than the bitter butter,
and made her bitter batter better.
She says it spot on - me, err....Comment
