(dpa) - There was once a Hereford cow that ate "100 per cent grass" in the green, green meadows of Ireland. Its demise was painless. Its meat was dry-aged for three weeks to give it lots of flavour.
You can also check every detail of its history by using a smartphone to scan the QR codes affixed to its package at the newly opened Meat Market store, a top-tier meat emporium in Hamburg, Germany. And it's eye-poppingly expensive.
"Lots of people have had enough with the mistreatment of livestock and scandals in the meat industry, like when horsemeat is passed off as beef," explains Meat Market chief Oliver Winter.
"They have a right to know what's on their plates," adds Winter's business partner Georg Sotmann.
Transparency, traceability and animal rights are the ideals that set their business apart from a regular butcher's shop. The meat at their store comes from animals slaughtered under as little stress as possible - one at a time with an electric shock to the head.

Tuesday is bread making day? What a coincidence, I have some papers to drop off at your home on Tuesday..............oh, I like lots of butter on mine ; )
Practically right out of one of “Portlandia”’s funniest bits ever: In the restaurant, questioning “Collin the Chicken’s” papers before ordering him for dinner:

“Buy a Chuck Pot Roast and have it ground in to Hamburger. I see a lot of people doing that lately.”
I do that a lot, especially when Chuck is on sale. You can’t beat fresh ground chuck for good eating!
“You can get USDA Prime steaks at Costco for much less than you would pay for lesser-quality meat in a restaurant.”
Indeed. And often the Costco Choice is almost as good as their Prime (and sometimes even better) in terms of micro-marbling.
Tasty beef here. Only fed Soylent greens and died of old age.
A classic episode. That whole series was great.
LOL
Took me a second....LOL
I personally know the chickens who lay the eggs I eat. When they’re on feed, the eggs are better than store bought eggs by far. When they’re out scratching for bugs, their eggs are absolutely amazing.
I’ve had milk from cows that were eating nothing but what was growing in the field — it was shockingly good.
I’ve eaten pork shoulder from pigs that were honestly pasture raised, and it was as good as some of the better roast beef I’ve had.
If you’re willing to pay double the store prices, there is still real food out there. I used to be able to afford good food, I make more now then I ever have, but I can no longer afford the good food. What happened? They started printing money is what happened.
We’re blessed to have a small local meat company that raises it’s own beef, and charges less for their high quality, low fat, no water added hamburger, than any supermarket. We have co-ops that sell organic cage free chicken, but at $25 per bird, I can’t afford it.
HILARIOUS!
Short of eating, just smelling baking day is worth much. We have been buying bread from “Great Harvest Bread Company” for years to supplement home baked.

People with too much time on their hands.
My goats are 7 years old and just LOVE junk food!
As well as tree bark, dead leaves and shirttails.
I see you keep them on a shelf...
