I was briefly amused by that also

A couple of local markets have an "old meat" discounted because of age
section that i have got some very good buys at. Sometimes its processed
meats nearing their 'sell by date' and sometimes the stores meat
departments puts things in the 'clearance' section that they have
butchered and packaged themselves.

This is how i first got to use veal in cooking. One of the local
markets had several veal knuckles priced ridiculously low. I have got
breast of duck, kosher chickens, various steaks and exotic sausages
marked way down for clearance.

I have passed over various sea food in the same section and wont be
buying any more imported Irish bacon anymore, strange stuff, celtic
pancetta i guess.

One time i bought a marked down pound or so of ground beef and made it
into a meat loaf, it was so very good i retrieved the meat wrapper from
the trash just to make sure i was using hamburger and the label said
"ground sirloin" iirc. Granted i did put bacon over the top but the
thing was so astoundingly good, absolutely delicious the elderly
relative and i accidentally ate the whole thing in one sitting.
