Thanks for the explanation Ed. But why 'used'? In what way has the
meat been used? Strange.

We use it still but as (kind of) a joke. But we know what we mean.

Hint for Jebus: A joke is when someone says something "funny" and the
corners of your mouth go up.

The store doesn't call it "used meat". It's not a marketing gimmick.

Well, any cheaper and you must have stolen it

The odd thing was that even at 25 cents per one pound pack it was not
selling. My friend and I were kicking ourselves for not buying more of
it, though he bought a lot more than I did. Maybe the Chipotle peameal
scared people off, but it was very mildly flavoured, barely
unnoticeable. It was brined, so the best before date was not a worry,
and we planned to freeze it anyway. I doubt I will ever see a deal like
that again, but if I do I will buy a lot more.
