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

There’s no marbling at all in that.

Its probably spent Romanian dairy cow

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.

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.

Is this story from the Wayback Machine? Woolworths? I used to love that store. The hot dogs and French fries were the best. Also a great fabric department, and in Alaska in the ‘80s they had the best souvenir area. And Evening In Paris perfume. :)

Scotch fillet is a racist slur.

Scots are stereotyped as notoriously cheap

Is this perhaps Australia?

The similarly named Woolworths supermarkets in Australia and New Zealand are operated by Australia's largest retail company, Woolworths Group, a separate company with no historical links to the F. W. Woolworth Company

Sounds like those cheap two to a pack so called filet mignon you can buy in grocery stores here, held together by meat glue and a rancid bacon strip. Ripoff

Woolworth’s and Footlocker combined together. Meat from those two stores is not enticing..

Yeah, Cliffy had himself the tunnel T-bone. For less than four bucks, you get 24 ounces of USDA choice US bef.

Cliff Clavin:
Bef? You mean beef.

Norm Peterson:
Beef? Don’t be ridiculous Cliffy, that stuff is bef. You see, it’s a Hungry Heifer trademark for a processed, synthetic, what... , meat-like substance.

Cliff Clavin:
Ohh, Norm.

Norm Peterson:
What do expect for four bucks? Do you hear me complain about the loobster?

Tried eating beef on a trip overseas back in 2006, and was disgusted by the grizzle and fat in what was supposed to be prime beef. I think Europeans have a different take on what constitutes “prime” meat. Ordered Pepper Steak in both Belgium and Holland, and the meat was disgusting, and very hard to chew. Ordered a Delmonico steak when we stayed at the Europa Hotel in Belfast, Ireland. I asked it to be cooked medium, and when it came, it was so overcooked and dried out, that you couldn’t even eat it. I ordered a burger at a restaurant in Victoria Station in London, and couldn’t even finish it. It had so much Worcestershire sauce in it, you couldn’t even taste the meat.
