Yes, here in my area they come around. Almost every time it is a small white pickup with the freezer mounted in the back. They pull up quick and get with it. Quick yelled question, "Want to buy some steaks at $$$/pound?" I declined, was asked again so they made sure I heard the deal and declined. I showed them a pistol and they backed out, waved, and went to the neighbor's place. She actually bought some to cook later in the day.
I went over to inspect the meat. The ribeyes were compressed frozen pieces pressed together and, when thawed out, separated and shrunk. After grilling the meat did shrink to 60% of initial size and parts were chewy. Considering half price and average texture and taste overall, it was not a real deal. Seemed more like chuck steak....

What was the point of showing him a pistol? Such a white trash move

Ickey Woods used to do it in Cincinnati. Would do the Ickey shuffle if you bought meat.

"I have some top quality meat here in this 'tan but used to be white' freezer in my rusting pickup truck, want to buy some on a great deal?"

I always pictured you as late 20's, slightly shorter version of Vince Vaughan.

If "pretty good" is any higher than a 2 on your 1 to 10 scale, you haven't had even decent steaks.

I bought a couple of steaks at Walmart once, just to give them a try. Walmart steaks are far better.

Schwan's? They used to come by my old job and make sales. I think the owner knew someone at the company and didn't mind them coming by. They would even take orders ahead of time so you knew what the delivery was going to be. I bought from them once or twice. Wasn't great, but it wasn't bad.

I fell for it when I was young and stupid. I was awful. We ended making dog food with it.

Like when the Omaha Steak dude was stealing shite out of my garage in Watson...while his buddy was trying to pitch his frozen shite to me.
Mrs 19 busted him and they pleaded for their lives.
All she had was a .22 LR with a fricking squirrel on the stock.


Good times.

I worked for Schwans in college... don't ever confuse Schwans for some dude in a Ranger with an ice chest in the bed.

Than being said, the Schwans business model couldn't make it Louisiana...
