re: Meat shortage getting real?

Found some decent (not great) ribeyes at Walmart late last week. Snagged 4 of those and fired them up today for Mother’s Day. Those were the last ribeyes in the store when I bought them, and they haven’t been back in stock that I’ve seen.

Bought some lower quality cuts from our local grocery a few weeks ago, and the meat quality was terrible.

Time to get my cattle feedlot back in operation. Wife has resisted so far, saying kids would be traumatized by butchering cattle that they’ve helped raise. Apparently that scarred her childhood. My childhood was enjoying the frick out of raising them, and then enjoying them even more when they hit my plate (not to mention the extra dinero I’d pick up from selling a couple sides of beef).

Well I for one get meat from a butcher shop. If I’m gonna pay that much for meat I want the best I can get.

A word of advice the only meat you should buy from wal mart is a name brand prewrapped chicken. The rest of it is garbage and pickled to keep it fresh. Serious.

I get all my my meat locally from Eunice Superette slaughterhouse. It's a little higher but worth it

This is like the TP shortage. A few random stores are out. A few pictures get on the internet and millions of people freak out over the same 3 pictures. They all run to the stores to hoard meat creating a shortage.

Ive gotten close with folks I’d have never met if not for this quarantine. And they all have kids close to Sun God Jr’s age.

It’s been really nice.

When someone mentions the meat shortage, I tell them that the concern with so many processors getting sick was that the meat would get tainted with the virus. I recommend plant-based alternatives since plants can’t get the WuFlu.

I figure that will leave more meat on the shelves for me.

You spelled sac-a-lait wrong. Twice.

ETA: I wish I had about a dozen of them right now and a hot pot of oil. Damn you.

Sack of milk?

Haven't heard that before,haha.

They're damn good no matter what we call them.

There are some Mennonites just north of us who raise catfish and sell boxes of filets.Since beef is falling in supply,I'm thinking of stocking up on fish.

I love me some fish,slaw and hushpuppies.

And beer,can't forget beer.

Yep. The Choctaw name for the fish is "sakli". When the Cajuns got here, they heard the Choctaw word as "sac-a-lait" and the fish has that pretty pure white meat, so the name stuck.
