I can buy a nicely marbled ribeye, chuckeye or even a NY strip steak for less than that per pound. So I do. Nothing is going to make me start eating meat substitutes. Jill |

Meat prices seem to go up when the meat is trendy. Perhaps minute steak/cubed steaks/round steak
is currently a trend. Exhibit: short ribs. I remember when they were the cheapest beef in the case, about the same as soup bones. But they got trendy, so now they are relatively (for what they are) expensive. Silly. N. |

Now they are difficult to find and when you do it's more like $12-15.99/lb. It's a tough cut of meat which has to be marinated, then grilled or broiled and sliced very thinly against the grain. When they started using flank in restaurants for fajitas and Chinese beef and broccoli, the price went waaaay up. Jill |

Seeing my mother-in-law cook was a revelation to me. My wife had the intense smell of a Korean when she lived at home or when she ate lunch with her mom. The smell does indeed come from the skin as well as the breath. My wife would smell like spicy sausage and her breath had a distinct acetone smell. I'd tell her that it smelled like an explosion at a garlic factory. I used to think that my wife smelled alluring but then I found out it was the Kim chee. I like Chinese garlic eggplant but I think I like the Korean eggplant better. |

I bought on the other day for $3.69. A few years ago it as $1.19, but has become popular. I saw a flat for $8.49, close to what good steak sells for. Growing up in the north, brisket was Jewish holiday food and we never heard of it from a smoker. In a few years it has become very popular even with fast food places like Arbys and Wawa stores. Chicken wings sold for the equivalent of 39 cents a pound many years ago. not the $2.29 I see now. Supply and demand |

Supply and demand Pork belly is going for relatively cheap - but not for long. I suggest that you buy up as much as you can and learn to prepare it before the price goes sky high! Don't wait till it's too late! |

I'm having a nice cheese ball with almonds, celery, perhaps a few crackers and some big Red Globe grapes. We can sit at my new outdoor table and watch the sun set. I don't need to get out. I've got it all going on here. *Takes a swig of fresh iced tea and contemplates putting fresh mint in the next batch. |

That was the case here but I often find them marked down. The only way I like them is in a chicken fried steak but nobody else here likes those. Too much effort for just me. So I'll do without. Yeah I know I could freeze them but lately I have been losing my interest in food. I keep getting free bread at the outlet so I do things with that or just have some fruit and cheese. Works for me. At least for now. |

Yup, I'd agree with your sentiments here...I just got a Christmas ham (which was cheap anyways) outta the freezer, that will be good for many, many meals...I generally use meat as an "adjunct" ingredient nowadays, might eat a nice steak only several times per year...one small pork sirloin roast I can get a goodly number meals out of, etc.... As I grow older, my appetite is less (though you wouldn't know it from looking at me, lol...). I eat a big - gish work lunch, primarily brown rice/veg/small quantity of meat, some days no meat at all. Breakfast is small, sometimes I do not even eat at night, not that hungry... The last time I remember peeps being concerned about the price of meat was in the early 70's, IIRC inflation was high. Even in our rural area, I remember my mom and others talking about it, we'd eat cheaper cuts instead of the more expensive... Best Greg === I don't hear anyone around here complaining about the price of meat. I don't eat much either so I don't think about it ![]() |

A few years back, we spend a couple of years dieting rigorously and I think I bought beef only once or twice during that period. The next time I bought beef it had skyrocketed in price and I still can't get my head around the price. Cindy Hamilton |

I would love to have that ![]() Choy sum is really easy to prepare. You just add to boiling water and cook it for a little over 2 minutes. Remove from boiling water and cool it down in some ice water. You can then stir fry but I didn't even do that. I made a sauce of oyster sauce, water, shoyu, sugar, and sesame oil. I shall be making more choy sum. |

She frequently mentions preparing grilled chicken to be served on or with salad greens. They ate fewer carbs. Less beef but she didn't say she doesn't eat beef, just that the price was was a surprise. Jill |

I jes made two CFS's from an organic top-sirloin I bought at Wally-World fer about $6.00USD. I cut it in half and pounded each half with a small plate, dipped it in bread flour, then egg, then flour again, and pan fried it in a steel skillet. It was a tad tough but tasted great. I was looking forward to that "real beef" flavor. Screw what everyone else likes. Make 'em fer yerself! ![]() nb |

IMHO, sirloin (top or bottom) isn't the right cut for CFS. Should be round steak. Why would you pound it with a plate? Either have the butcher run it through the meat tenderizer or use a bladed meat mallet and pound it flat (I do this between two sheets of waxed paper). I use AP flour, the egg wash, then flour again. Set it aside on waxed paper to allow the coating to set. Then yes, cooked in my trusty Reverware stainless skillet. ![]() >Â* I was looking forward to > Â*that "real beef" flavor. > > Screw what everyone else likes.Â* Make 'em fer yerself!Â* ![]() > > nb I definitely agree with that, nb! The other people in her household have access to the kitchen. She should cook what she wants to eat. If they don't like it they can cook for themselves. I've actually been thinking about making CFS well before this thread. I have some cubed round steaks in the freezer that I bought specifically for making CFS. They weren't cheap, that's for sure.
