That's no bargain.

Why would anyone boast about eating mystery meat... buy a meat grinder and
know what/who you're eating, and save money too. Don't you realize that
when stores have a sale on ground beef, especially family size packages,
it's to dump the old meat they couldn't sell before the sell-by date and/or
is poor quality, plus a good percentage is trimmings and scraps. You
haven't a clue what/who you're eating. I regularly buy USDA Choice top
round roasts at $1.99/lb. I can grind 4 lbs in about one minute. What's
called "boneless pork chops" is also regularly $1.99/lb, grinds beautifully
with the beef for meatballs, meat loaf, chili...

I could never understand folks who have $50,000+ designer kitchens filled
with every expensive piece of designer cookware and appliance yet won't
spring for a friggin' meat grinder... tells me all that kitchen money is
wasted on just-for-show because they can't cook a lick and are afflicted
with TIAD because they sure do seem to enjoy dining on mystery meat shit.

I read enough of their web site to know that their meat is no better or
worse than any typical stupidmarket.... I read their meat specials to see if
they'd say of which beef cut their ground beef consisted, they don't, it's
pure mystery meat. If your usual ground beef purchase is 4 lbs then you are
a fool to not be grinding your own... I can buy a 4 lb roast for $8 and
you're paying $12 for 4lbs of mystery meat.

And you know this how? You've been there and observed how they prepare
ground meat at that particular store? Or maybe you have been at the
local store here that doesn't do that (my nephew worked his way through
college there and always remarked about their high standards)? Or maybe
you've been at my friend's shop and observed their procedures? How can
you possibly make such a statement as if you just know how *every*
single store prepares ground meat?

I don't buy ground meat anymore but I just checked out the local ads.
$1.88 for ground chuck and $1.99 for sirloin. Meat seems to usually
be cheaper here.

Since I started grinding my own again I've not noticed a savings.
Just a drastic improvement in quality.

And they DO prepare it right there at the store too! I've been in
there many times and they have to go back and grind me some more.

And I worked for a month or so in their Deli too, last Summer. And you
are correct, Straub's has impeccably high standards of their foods.
Commensurately high prices too! (They throw out a lot of stuff.) One
of those stores where you can walk out with one grocery bag and have
it cost $100 if you are not careful! But YUM!

And meats have always been their specialty.

Same with the places I mentioned but interestingly enough the local
store I mentioned has an large in house meat department and absolutely
no walmart style meat and the prices are very reasonable. It's a family
owned place and they stay on top of everything and are anal about quality.

Harlan Ellison, I LOVE that guy! I remember reading another of his
stories "'Repent Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman" when I was in high
school. And he wrote a really cool episode of the original Star Trek
too "The City on the Edge of Forever"

Jill - Certainly you are much younger then you let on. After all, that
movie was from 82' with the head line "Meet the Blands! They're square .
.. . They're in love . . . And they kill people."

I'm guessing you were in Jr. High. What were you doing watching movies
like that? Shame on you. You should have been tweaking the souls of the
young men you came into contact with. :-:

To me one of the best satirical/ironic films of the last
century, thank you for the reference; I think I'll watch it
tommorow evening. It is a spectacular film, on a par with
Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange." Nice doggie.

Wow, I wish I could get ground beef (we call it beef mince) for as
little as $3.99/lb. We usually buy it when it's reduced, and pay about
$5.50/lb for it.

We have a local supermarket chain who has the best meat counter of any of
the supermarket chains in Phoenix, and their ground beef is the best I've
ever tasted. They frequently mark down their packages that are still
several days prior to their sell by date to 50% off. I just bought a
package that weighed a bit over 4 pounds for $7.59. It's still perfectly
fresh, but as soon as I get it home I use what I need and package the
remainder for the freezer. If I buy several packages, I portioin it all
out for specific uses and freeze.

Ouch! How much are roasts to grind your own down there?

I don't doubt that they have good meat, many markets do, and I can assure
you that their USDA graded is no better or worse than any other market's
USDA graded... but whenever you buy their ground meat you are buying their
trash (ground meat gets no USDA quality grade).

If you really believe that they are taking their perfectly good roasts and
steaks that they sell for $8/lb and grind them up so they can get $3/lb then
I have this bridge you may want to buy. The only reason any meat market
sells previously ground meat is to minimize their losses by at least getting
something for meat that they'd otherwise have to shitcan, it's that simple.

On Sunday I get the circular by email for the Price Chopper chain here in
the northeast, just looked at it an hour ago, among other good meat sale
items they have boneless chuck steak on sale this week for $1.59/lb, I'll
take a look later next week. Oh, and I never buy stew meat either, I gotta
see the meat cut... how hard is it to cut a roast/steak into small pieces,
how friggin' lazy can folks be that they buy fercocktah mystery stew meat.
I haven't tried at the market here yet but back on Long Island when they had
say boneless chuck on sale (steaks or roasts) I'd ask the meat manager to
hack me off like a 10 pound hunk, when wrapped and weighed they knocked
20¢/lb off the sale price because my buying bulk saved them labor... no
problem to portion it out myself when I got home. Ten pounds is not a lot
of chuck, a nice 5 pound roast in the freezer for pot roast, and I'd grind
up 5 pounds right away for like six burgers for the freezer and the rest a
nice meat loaf to cook that day. Imagine, folks eat fercocktah mystery meat
yet boast about drinking $35 wine but can't afford a meat grinder...
something doesn't compute, oh yes it does, they are mentally ill and they
can't cook. Folks who post about eating out often can't cook, because if
they knew how to cook they'd not be eating that mystery crap that comes out

as a privately owned restuarant that sells wholesome food... only
institutional food has a good chance of wholesomeness. Your local hospital
serves wholesome food. Prisons serve wholesome food. The US military
serves the most wholesome food on the planet, they get first dibs over
everyone... these institutions don't always have very good cooks is all.
Restaurants, especially the fancy schmany highly rated ones, often have very
accomplished cooks, they have to in order to make shit palatable.

I don't know about Straub's but I'm sure it's like several places here
that do the same. I can think of two that have a window to the back
and you can see them grind it for you. My question would be how often
the grinder gets cleaned. Once a day isn't enough. There's a chain
in northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin called Woodmans. They were
advertising 5 pound tubes of ground beef dirt cheap. It was packaged
like breakfast sausage in a plant somewhere. There's no way I'd buy
that. But a place like Straub's or the one's I'm familiar with I'd
buy from. But I'd still rather grind my own.

You really need to get your massively powerful computer like brain
adjusted. If chuck is $1.49/lb and they grind it and sell it as ground
chuck or sirloin or whatever it doesn't mean they are grinding $8/lb
meat. Its really that simple.

Unless you are claiming that your massively powerful computer like brain
that was maybe given to you by space aliens has also made you omniscient
you can't possibly know how *every* store processes meat. Its really
that simple.

I have seen how my buddy operates their market and what my nephew told
me how the large market he worked at operates. When they grind chuck or
sirloin etc thats what they actually grind. Then they clean the grinder
and run another batch when necessary. They also make great sausage too
and its also done the same way. It isn't made from a pile of junk.

Doesn't take much imagination to know thats were all of the trimmings
and junk go.

If you want to see disgusting there is a local plant that makes various
packaged beef products. Their most popular being a "steakum" type
product. My buddy owns a commercial refrigeration business and I get to
see various locations where they may be working. The plant sells under
its own brand and makes various other labels for big box. They use real
beef to make their version. The big box version is made from big frozen
cubes of "meat and meat by products" that they buy from somewhere. It
has a weird pink color and doesn't really look like meat.

That's what I like about me.

English roasts were $1.48 a pound last week. I didn't get any because
the grinder is at the other place and I wouldn't freeze it before
grinding. Home ground beef for half of Straubs price aint a bad deal.
I've only had the new grinder for a few months but I'd say it's
already paid for itself. I dunno if you read the post that I
mentioned I paid 15 bucks for it brand new in the box. One of my
better goodwill finds.

I'm curious how long the meat was in that cooler. Even a real cooler
has a hard time with 95 degrees especially in the sun.

Hours. They keep the store cool with A/C, and the meat dept even
cooler as the back room is one big refrigerator. That's where they
keep and cut/process all their meat. Their ground beef is ground as
needed and put in a big tray (maybe 10lbs at a time) in their cold
display case with all their other meats.

I've bought ground beef where they have to go back and grind me more
because their display is less than I want to purchase.

This is NOT styro-tray shrink wrapped ground beef!

I was telling the butcher today about how folks on RFC were making
denigrating comments about "mystery meat" and stuff like that. They
found it very amusing too, as they (better than anyone else) knows how
Straub's has some of the highest quality meats in town!

I was talking about the cooler on your bike. Not sure what you're
talking about?

I wasn't questioning the quality. Just how long is was in YOUR
cooler. Maybe your soft side cooler is better than anything I've
seen.
