Actually, I've been consuming lamb for a lot longer than both of you put together. I've always found that lamb breast is cheaper than leg and shoulder put together. And much leaner too..
Just my two pence worth.
Have a nice evening.

You must be some age if I've been eating it for over 30 years, and compadre has been for considerably longer, that probably gives a combined total of 80+ years :astonished:

Yes, and I've had a good innings purely due to the food choices I've made throughout my life.. usually organic, free range and always prime cuts. I usually stick to UK sourced meat..
I hope people will learn and follow my footsteps...

Cant wait for the next episode of BS are you one of the writters for Emmerdale cos that's a good laugh also
since when was shoulder a prime cut, wasn't 5 years ago this bit was chucked away by butchers, only because "chefs" I mean cooks like Jamie Oliver started using it as a bargain piece of meat, now Supermarkets sell it at leg prices. I call it the ripp off cut now.

Thats funny as I've been eating shoulder for over 30 years, and leg has always been cheaper, I prefer shoulder as I think it has more flavour. Its certainly never been chucked away by butchers.

But how could it be anything else but? If it is lamb then it is lamb. If it is not lamb then it is something else. Yes a lamb burger or kebab may have added ingredients but a lamb joint? What else would you expect from a lamb joint? If I were buying a piece of lamb and it wasn't 100% lamb, I wouldn't be buying it. With kind regards
firstofficer to psychobitchfromhell
28 Aug 17#32
I think you're missing the point here. Sometimes retailers use additives and preservatuves and also bulk up the meat using proteins. Especially for reformed meats like in this case. This would make the meat less than 100%.
Agood example is KFC - they are no longer able to call their food 100% chicken, because it's actually bulked up and contains loads of chemicals. This so called dilutional effect renders the meat to be around 60%, the rest being artificial. And it comes as no surprise why they were banned from calling it Kentucky Fried Chicken any more..
I hope that clarifies the matter for you.
Thanks for your input into my thread.

And if I were buying rubbish from a fast food outlet I would take this into consideration. You are discussing a whole piece of dead animal not some preformed mechanically recovered garbage. I'm not denying this is a piece of lamb, I just don't quite get what calling it pure adds to the deal
firstofficer to psychobitchfromhell
28 Aug 17#35
Thank you for your query.
Even with regards to premium cuts and joints, it can still be less than 100%, for the aforementioned reasons. They can use embalming agents and preservatives in order to prolong shelf life which again makes the meat not 100%, or not 'pure'.
I hope this clarifies the issue further for you. With kindest regards.
psychobitchfromhell to firstofficer
28 Aug 17#38
Which is why I tend to buy my meat from the butcher if I do buy meat. Increasingly these days I steer away and look at meat as an occasional luxury rather than an every day staple. Not that long since we found our 100% beef mince lasagne was horse. Out of interest, how do you know this is 100% pure?
firstofficer to psychobitchfromhell
28 Aug 17#43
You need to have some inside info rather than relying on the label. Apparently quite a few people knew that the scandal was 100% horsemeat and stayed well clear of it. Also, if you're properly tuned in to the flavours, it's quite easy to tell apart.
Kind regards

Doesn't answer the lamb question, does it? I have no issue with eating horse and I certainly wouldn't be buying frozen lasagne. Kind regards

"They can use embalming agents and preservatives in order to prolong shelf life which again makes the meat not 100%, or not 'pure'."
Which one of these do you buy your meat from?
or
firstofficer to qbs
28 Aug 17#64
To be totally honest, I'd probably trust the latter more than the former. The horsemeat scandal was partially driven by local farmers and butchers and therefore it will take a while before I'd be able to trust one fully.

What an absolute load of twaddle, kfc use 100 percent chicken. They are still called kentucky fried chicken they just shortened it so people like yourself dont have trouble saying it. Also we are not talking about reformed meat so dont compair a cut of lamb to it. You can not bulk up a cut of meat with protein its simply not possible and also just why. Reformed meat is obviously different and you never really know what extras are in there. Please stop trying to justify your bull and just admit you made a mistake.

I'm not remotely confused but if you think that is a picture of 100% pure lamb shoulder with parsley and (melted) butter, clearly you are. Why not just show the picture from the Morrison's site instead of trying to dig yourself out of the ridiculous hole you find yourself in? Nobody is denying it is a good offer, it is just the garbage you have posted to embellish it that people are having the issue with.

I always find it better and more appropriate posting a picture of the food once it's cooked and prepared as it looks a lot more pleasing to the eye - wouldn't you agree? All my posts follow the same principle. In my opinion, people can see the picture of the actual product when they click on the link, which is often misleading anyway.
How many times do you buy a product based on what it looks like on the packet to find yourself deeply disappointed when you open the packaging? I've done that a fair few times..

If you have bothered to click into the deal, you will see that it is in fact less than half price. The per kg weight is around £6 compared to the usual price of £13. I don't want to get into the maths regarding this, as it would be insulting your intelligence.
With kindest regards.

28 Aug 17#61
I have clicked on the deal, perhaps you haven't . The less than half price you keep quoting refers to the cost of a 2.2kg joint, this usually costs around £16+ now reduced to £13.92. if you don't understand god help us. To simplify was £8ish a kilo now £5.92. Not half price!

No one said it was organic. The way meat is sourced can be similar to organically farmed meat, depending on the rechniques and the nutritional elements are similar. Hence the carefully used working in my post.

360finder to firstofficer
27 Aug 17#14
Your aware that your post is deliberately misleading and again moderately embellished ?
Organically sourced implies a higher meat quality than the customer will be purchasing.
If the supermarket themselves used these words it would be called for what it is. Nonsense.
Why must you post fabricated and embellished statements alongside what may be a good offer? Let the offer speak for itself and stick to the facts.
sandra51 to 360finder
28 Aug 17#27
In my experience anything that has the word organic in the description usually means it is over priced and will go off quicker. It usually has no difference in the quaity, nutritious value or taste unless, in the case of meat, the animal has also had some better food and has been treated better.

That's right I have only been a member a short while.
I have posted a deal which you will be able to find if you check my profile correctly.
Obviously you feel that your long standing membership allows you free reign when it comes to posting what you like about deals.
Every member of this site should be welcomed and encouraged to post and participate in actively finding posting and commenting on deals. Whilst giving accurate and honest information, I have given honest information. Accurate critique of incorrect or misleading information and positive comment and 'heat' where I find a post deserving of such.
Sadly most of what you posted yesterday, and continue to write this morning appears to be "organically sourced" (that is to say thought about with effectivity in mind) nonsense.
I'm not the only person calling your posts for what they are and I certainly wont be the last.
I will continue to use the site, as I am sure will you. I wish you well in your endeavours and hope that one day we can agree that a deal is 'hot' together.
Again I thank you for your active participation in the site and encourage you to post more money saving deals and offers. I would ask however that when posting you use only accurate information as only then will your post be an effective deal rather than a fabricated wonderland offer changed from the manufacturer/supplier/retailers description by your inaccurate product knowledge.

" Better than half price!! Usual cost is 13£/kg."
No one (well, maybe Waitrose) sells bone-in lamb shoulder at £13 per kilo! Average price is £7-8.
So, this is still a 'deal' but certainly not half-price.
(ps...if you're quoting the £13 in the Morrisons posting, that's the 'typical' price for a 2+kg joint ordered online. As you will see, that is a reduction from £16 which would make the pre-offer price about £7.50 per kilo.)
