Meat and Drink

So, what's this all about? See here
Is there a complete list? See here

Before I came over here I lived in Camberwell and I did my shopping on Saturday mornings (mostly) at the junction. Yes, Safeway was useful, but I bought my meat and deli stuff and veg at the market and my bread from the bakery a couple of doors from the newsagents. Sometimes I'd go further afield to Auburn Rd to a relatively excellent and handily close Italian supermarket for a wider range of pastas and other bits and pieces. Sometimes I drove over to Whitehorse Rd to the butchers there that did a particulalry good kebab which I was useful if I couldn't be arsed to do a load of preparation.

I still have this recollection of butchers straining under the weight of surplus fresh spring lamb practically giving the stuff away.

This morning I happened to wander over to uncaringbear who does a cruel line in food commentary, but what really upset me was the mere mention of the T-bone steak. You know how long it is since I've had a T-bone steak? Know how long I've been stuck here? Same answer.

Yup, they can't be got, certainly not in this town; not freely available anywhere I've lived.

Lamb or t-bone, lamb or t-bone. Another job for the tossed coin, I guess.
