The few times I have had meats from Walmart they have been rather tough.
Eye round was shoe leather-yeah, I know it should be braised.
Skirt steak tasted like broiled jerky.
Are there any types of meats that are better than others from Walmart; any

Wal Mart meat sucks. Avoid it and be happy. If you want a good cut at
reasonable prices, go to BJ's, Costco, or a good local butcher. The only
meat they have worth buying is packer cut briskets for making barbecue.
Everything else is low grade, enhanced with salt solutions and not worth
considering.

Go to a local butcher, or farm shop. Even better a local farm shop that
actually farms the meat you are buying.

I gave up on Wally World's meat department. The Tyson chickens are
always full of water, the beef is tough, and the pork is salty...

The only meat I buy at Walmart is the whole packer-cut briskets and the
frozen turkeys. And I'm looking for another source for the briskets; I
haven't bought a brisket in almost 2 years because the price is too
high. (almost $2 per pound at Walmart for the untrimmed ones, and about
$4 per pound or more everywhere else for trimmed and pumped briskets.)
Brisket ain't worth that much.

Most of the meat there is embalmed (they call it "enhanced") with with
salt and phosphate solution to make it heavier and increase the shelf
life. And the prices are not even all that good. The whole briskets
are the only meat there that is not pumped up (the trimmed briskets
are). The turkeys are, but the price is good enough that I buy them
anyway.

The biggest problem I have with Walmartmeat is the stuff is spilling
over to all the other stores, so that good unadulterated meat is not
available at any price. So I just don't eat much meat.

Even though the meat was no good, you shouldn't have had those problems.
Sounds to me like you cooked everything wrong.

I am surprised you have a problem. Walmarts meat vendors are required to
use the best embalming technology known to man.

In general, I agree, but it's the only place in Cow Hill -- or in the
county for that matter -- where I can get bison. And bison is good,
even if it's from Wallyworld.

Are you sure it's bison?
When Cabela's opened, I tried the bison burgers twice -- thumbs down. Ugly
stuff. I recall bison tasting pretty good.

In my experience, grain fed buffalo tastes like ordinary beef. The free-
range, hormone-free, antibiotic-free buffalo is delicious. The Carmen Creek
frozen burgers are good. The other brand for steaks is D'Artagnan. It's
super-lean so don't overcook.

It's also super-high protein stuff. Probably led to my gout, since I ate it
practically every day for almost a year. I still have a good supply of
buffalo in the freezer that I can't touch! At least it stays fresh frozen
indefinitely.

Fresh frozen... now that is an oxymoron if ever there was one.

The quality of Wal-Mart meat is very close to being justification for
what some Amurricans would call Turrurism. It easily justifies
destruction of property.

I made a pot roast for my family this evening from Wal-Mart. We've had
some tough meat from them in the past, but this time it was wonderful.
But, I used the slow cooker so my hubby and the kids wouldn't complain
about toughness. It's amazing what an old-fashioned, 30-year old
"Crock Pot" can do for a piece of Wal-Mart beef! > B.T.

As far as I know it's still unlawful to mislabel food. That may have
changed with the Patriot Act or some counterterroism initiative that
I've not yet noticed, however. This stuff is labeled bison. And it's
good.

There was a large buffalo ranch not far from here. They had a wholesale
business to restaurants and you you could go there and get whatever meat
cuts you like. A friend lives near there. One day he called and said
that all of the buffalo were gone. Ted Turner had bought all of them and
there was a constant stream of trucks on his road hauling them out to
whatever state Turner owns.

They got away with it because they were selling it to the "slack jawed
yokels" who are too ignorant to know better. People who live in
counties that have more cattle than humans, but who refer to margarine
as "butter." Folks who call evolution, "Just a theory," think
rasslin' is a sport, and that Dale Earnhardt, Sr. was one of the
greatest Amurricans ever.

You can bet that the wealthy rural folks don't buy that WalMart crap.

Well here in northwest Arkansas (the home of Walmart) the Wallyworld
parking lots are full of pickups, minivans, old family sedans that
couldn't qualify for the demolition derby and ex-police cruisers. The
parking lot of our local meat market is full of Cadillac Escapades,
Nissan Armadillos, GMC Envys, Lincoln Intimidators, and such. I can't
prove it, but suspect these behemoths belong to Walmart execs.

"Here in America, we've got class."

There's a good taqueria on US-62, just east of Rogers. It is on the
north side of the road, next to a Mexican grocery. We drive there
every time we stay in Eureka Springs.
There's also a Guatemalan lady who has a taco trailer on the square in
Berryville.
She only opens when she feels like it, but the steak tacos are
righteous.

Walmart is relatively new in this area. Lawsuits regarding 'Big Box' stores

If so, do you know what you are buying? The low grade Choice perhaps? Lots
of talk about here among the experts about price and quality but never a
mention of the grade. You got to compare the price of apples to apples
before you bash and understand what you are talking about. I am not a fan
of Walmart by any means yet I have not seen an honest comparasion or a
rudimentary understanding of meats, just internet hype and BS talk so far.
You could change your title to Does Safeway or Kroger, or Piggly Wiggly...
really have good..... and say the exact same thing so far. You are bashing
the big guy, but you really don't know why do you? Blah, blah, blah.
Even the local little guy and local chains selling from the tailgate of the
few Packing houses will screw ya.

Wake up and see the big picture, it ain't just Walmart

Didja ever think (wrong woid for you). Didja ever realize that
perhaps you don't know the different cuts and how to cook... your
problem has not a whit to do with grades, nada... and anyone who
responds by explaning meat grading has less meat/cooking expertise
than you.

TNX for the recommendations. I'll try them both when I'm in the
neighborhood.

Look who's saying "grow up", you with your perpetual plethora of
infantile queries... you don't belong in a food/cooking group, you
have nothing whatsoever relevant to contribute... you must be an Andy
mole!
