The Joys of Homemade Burgers
Here in New York City, every butcher in the meat store or in the
"fancy" meat department of the super market will grind the meat you
buy. You can get a piece of sirloin steak or boneless breast of
chicken, or whatever else you feel like having and ask to have it
ground. If there is extra work involved, such as deboning a chicken,
there may be an extra charge.
Is this only done here? I just bought a piece of beef roast and asked
the butcher to remove all visible fat and grind it twice. It beats
buying pre-ground meat, but it is not as good as the meat you grind
yourself and you do not have the pleasure of grinding the moistened
roll and onion at the end. My old meat grinder died some time ago.
It was one with a hand crank and was very, very old.
