    I generally go to my local butchers - who I think its very good.

    However, I have availed of Tesco deals in the past with regard to steaks etc. Ive never been disappointed with them. Not as nice as Aldi's finest but decent, tasty.

    My dad works in the meat industry (at the factory side of things for the last 30 odd years) and he knows first hand that a lot of very good Irish meat goes to Tesco. (black polly cattle)

    Absolutely no idea what they do after its sent there - how long they keep in behind their butcher counters etc, but their is absolutely nothing wrong with the source material, and he would tend to go to Tesco before his local butchers these days.

    I (and Panorama/Watchdog) am referring to the likes of your butcher, your baker, your candlestick maker (well maybe not him) your greengrocers etc, obviously there are a lot of things that can only be bought in supermarkets but my local butcher is streets ahead of local Tesco/Dunnes for quality and price, greengrocers on Monastary Rd Clondalkin is as cheap as any supermarket and guess what? the veg actually has flavour! One of the greatest lies ever sold to people is that supermarkets are the cheapest, complete rubbish. They'll be cheaper for one or two items but they'll get their pound of flesh from ya before you get back out the door.

    This may well be true but very few people believe it. If they did independent shops would flourish and supermarkets wouldn't be springing up at the rate they are.
