Record-high meat prices are having a chilling effect on summer-grilling demand in the US

With costs for ground beef and chicken breasts at all-time highs, consumers have few alternatives to switch to different proteins -- so some may skip them entirely.

The US Memorial Day holiday on Monday is considered the unofficial opening of the outdoor grilling season, and the surging costs are pointing to a disappointing start. Price pain in meat comes after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine stalled crop exports in the Black Sea, pushing up the costs of animal feed. Even prices for propane used to power grills have soared.

“The inflationary environment is starting to take its toll,” said Michael Nepveux, senior analyst for animal protein at Stable USA, which offers risk-management tools for some commodities. ‘‘Instead of steak or chicken, we might have pasta or a pizza.’’

After they are grilled they go for a swim in the brat hot tub, dark beer and onions.

Served with sauerkraut, onions and mustard.

Making sausage now.

Unfortunately, my pizza oven/smoker is on the fritz (mid-modification), so I’ll have to tolerate an oven-baked pie on my stone.

I’ll post pics.

No meat for the poors.
Except the cheapest cut, known as the EBT freebie.

Not so you would notice. I grilled two rib eye steaks and six bratwurst yesterday. We will pick up a half of a hog from the butcher in the next week or so. Oh, Marilyn makes excellent pizza when we feel like such for food.

Locally, Brisket was the cheapest I have seen for years.

Bacon is about $19 though. So for $40 I can get a brisket or two pounds of bacon.

Guess what is smoking.

White liberal ‘elites’ will be eating high on the hog... no pizza for Biden’s drug addicted whore-monger son and his private school DC ‘friends’.

Nope the motto of Soros and Biden and DC ‘elites’ is if you bankrupt a country YOU can buy it back cheap.

Same at several chains in East Tennessee and western North Carolina, including today.
