If people are stupid enough to fork over many $$$'s for a hunk of meat
just because it has a large bone in it, then more fool them.

I take it that it's being sold by weight, and a good portion of that
weight would be bone.

Hence the truth in the saying "A fool and his money are easily parted"

As for your "Flintstone steaks"...... :-)

I had a Rhodesian buddy, and everytime we had a Braai at his place, he'd
put on his famous 'Dinosaur steaks' ....... a whole slab of rump steak,
about 2inches thick, and ask everyone how many steaks they wanted!! :-)


And on that note, we're having eye fillet steak for dinner. 100% tender
juicy meat, no bone.
