re: Dispelling Beef Misconceptions on the F&D board

The meat at Sam's is better trimmed and generally appears to be higher quality, even if the same grade. A Sam's pork butt will barely need trimming, but the Kroger one will have $10 worth of fat that goes in the garbage. Brisket is worse. One from Kroger had a huge chunk of loose fat hidden in the cryovac. (That was the last brisket Kroger will ever sell me.)

This is a totally valid point. I would always recommend buying meat from a store with a good butcher on staff. Someone you can go to for advice, tell them what you want and expect.

I don’t disagree with this either. It is confusing and I’m not sure it’s not by design. Canada has an alphabet system. AAA, AA, A B etc... but it’s honestly not much better because their AAA doesn’t match up with Prime exactly. I can include upper choice marbling scores as well.
