Pigs cheeks cooked low and slow with sherry is another delicious dish. Cheek is a really tasty cut of meat, but so hard to get hold of. When Tesco had the butcher's counter, they sold it, but not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 12th of an AA battery is difficult to imagine in a single sausage. So I would use a more recognisable comparison scale. The average smallish fart is around 30mg so that's around 60 small farts per sausage. ...or around 4 super-dooper farts (those bordering on follow-through) per single sausage.

Hairy Poppins Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Has anyone noticed the Co-op seem to have some crazy pricing at the moment? Way over and above what you would pay at M&S or Tesco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Tesco are available in more areas I think several co-ops are losing volume and so making extra margin on what they do sell to compensate. Certainly their smaller stores are very much convenience and priced accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try shin of beef. Quite nice in a stew.. Easier to get shin than the cheek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just surprised that these less common cuts of meat are not pushed more I think cheek got a lot of PR from a celeb chef years ago. Just need the same now.

Such things are seen as being for the impoverished so they'll likely make a comeback! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 As a kid we regularly had liver,heart or tripe for dinner and an ox tail made great soup. Pigs trotters were also sold. Of course it was war time so nothing was wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 A Cow has two small cheeks, relative to the fore and hind it is highly likely that the Butcher regarded these a bonus on the carcase price and priced them accordingly, ie down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
