Woolworths customer is left in disbelief after discovering her 'scotch fillet' was just 'scraps of steak stuck together'

Looks quite tender to me, no sure what the gripe is

[outofsalt]

Meat has gotten quite expensive lately. I might have to go to Woolworth’s instead of the butcher shop.

[VastRWCon]

Woolworth is still open?

[null and void]

What kind of meat is filled with holes?

Swiss steak...

[Red Badger]

Just be glad it’s meat................sorta................

There’s no marbling at all in that.

Its probably spent Romanian dairy cow

Meat glue isn’t a figment of her imagination:

“Woolworth is still open?”

I asked that too. The last WW I saw was in Vancouver and downtown L.A. in the 90’s, and both were located in sh*tty slummy areas.

Maybe the customer expected more fat for a marbling effect.
If that meat was frozen during transit from ranch to store, there may have been some minor deterioration. Some meats don’t fully recover from being frozen, and will fall apart.

Maybe the Woolworth’s in Britain has nothing to do with the
almost dead and gone Woolworth’s department stores inside the US. The market featured here sounds like our CostCo.
I could never imagine buying fresh meat at a Woolworth’s here, if you find one still open. They are more rare than Kmarts.

It’s a NAFTA thing.

What ever it is, you can put it on my sangwich.

this is in Australia.

[John S Mosby]

To my observation there are no “Woolworth’s” in the US anymore— they’ve been gone a long while. Some still in the UK. F.W. Woolworth was the 5 and Dime chain inherited by Barbara Hutton (from her grandfather F.W. Woolworth, and then married E.F. Hutton, as the “poorest little richest girl in the US).

Woolworth, the brand has devolved down to ... Foot Locker, in the US.

This meat must be through Woolworth online in the UK.

[Fai Mao]

No, it isn’t because it was frozen. It is made of smaller cuts and literally glued together.

The disabled Youtube food guy, Larry Wolfe has done several videos on this kind of thing

“he last WW I saw was in Vancouver and downtown L.A. in the 90’s,”

Believe it or not but there is a K-Mart in the keys. Marathon I believe. They are open but they don’t have much merchandise.

[Chickensoup]

Bonanza had something like that in the seventies.

> Woolworth is still open? <

Yeah, that surprised me too. The last Woolworth in my neck of the woods closed down maybe 30 years ago. What a great store that was! You could buy anything there from tropical fish to a camping tent. And of course it had a soda fountain.
