Meat from the supermarket, which is frequently praised for being a cost-effective and convenient option, has some hidden extras. The meat that is sold in many supermarkets comes from factory farms, where the animals don't always live lavish lives. This can bring about meat that is somewhat of a given down access quality and taste. In addition, supermarket meat frequently undergoes a transformation that includes the addition of preservatives, additives, and even a splash of water to add volume. This not only affects the flavour and quality, but it could also be bad for your health.
We pride ourselves in buying the meat from our local butcher, Robert, from London Road Butchers, Bexhill. He sources the meat from Prinkle Farm, Hailsham, making the meat fresher and the journey from the farm to your plate considerably shorter.
Supermarket meat is packaged in a factory and will sit on the shelf until someone buys it or the date runs out.
Here he is, preparing some minced beef for us, which is far more superior than the one from the supermarket.
With butcher’s meat, your meat will most likely be cut while you wait, or the butcher will have pre-prepared cuts that very morning. This level of freshness is hard to compete with.
Whilst butchers may be more expensive, you'll purchase products in the knowledge that you're supporting your local economy.
