Nothing wrong with them, they can be quite good actually, Where did the bad rep come from?
>>22063006Wal Mart meat in general is bad. They don't have a butcher so their meat is never fresh. It's that simple.
>>22063024your mom in general is bad
>>22063037East Asians like pork too. And South Americans.Pork is breddy gud
>>22063131This is cooking not the geography jeopardy discussion
>>22063184It's not a cuck support group either, yet here you are
>>22063188Just bodied that cuck
>>22063024Stupid poor person. What do you know
I don't like the prices. I get presumably better meat for demonstrably less elsewhere.We don't even buy canned mackerel there anymore. $3.78 now. Fuck that noise. It's a dollar less at other stores.
>>22063006>Where did the bad rep come from?People who shop at Target. They buy the exact same shit for a higher markup and pretend like they're rich and look down upon the dregs who shop at Walmart.
>>22063006TWENTY DOLLARS A GODDAMN POUND
>>22063006Meat glue scandal.
>>22063238>shops at shartmart>calls others poor
>>22063301>I get presumably better meatWhen you PRESUME you make an ASS out of U and ME
>>22063024every walmart that sells steaks has a butcher
>>22063877This
>>22063006That’s stupid expensiveAldis is cheaper and better
>>22063889Aldis and lidl both are awful, I’dMuch rather shop at Walmart
>>22063006Why does the most delicious meat have to be so damn expensive these days? I miss the days when you could walk into the butcher's with $20 and walk out with enough cow to feed a family.Nowadays if you want affordable meat you have to go for pork. They practically give that stuff away but pork sucks.
>>22063925You're just a bad cook if you think pork sucks. There's so many ways to make it great. I also enjoy the fact that it's neither halal nor kosher.
>>22063006It's literally the exact same commodity beef that you can get at any other store. All the beef in the US is graded and standardized. The only way you're getting anything different than Walmart beef is if you know an Amish or Mennonite family. Everybody from the person buying a steak to eat at home to the fancy steak houses uses the same beef here. Don't fall for any stupid marketing tricks. Restaurants especially will lie and say they have a special beef provider. I know the guy, his name's SYSCO.
>>22063037It's infidel meat. I'm flying a plane into your favela right now.
local butcher cut me a 1.5 inch thick ribeye, little over a pound, it was $13. this was maybe three months agoi can't see paying over $15 if you're cooking it yourself
>>22064068Their are different sysco tiers though
>>22064082Yes one gets you the Choice, one Select, and the other gets you the Prime..
>>22063006I bought some a while back they were okay not great for the price. The chuck roasts are fine though, any roast/stew meat stuff is fine probably.
>>22064059Lots of people don't like pork. It has nothing to do with whether or not they know how to cook it.
>>22064148The difference between great and bad quality pork is much wider than with beef. Almost all store bought pork is utter shit quality, which is why people don't like it and also why it is so cheap.
>>22064177Unless you have specially raised pork, it either has to be cured or slow-cooked for a long time to be edible. Pork chops are sinuous and not good for the gut. My favorite pork product is ham hocks, put them in the oven for about 3-4 hours at 250 degrees and it's amazing. Much cheaper than ham and most ham is fake. But hocks are the real deal. Then you take the bones and make a stock with some chicken bones and it's amazing too.
>>22064195Yeah, great quality pork. Even the pork chops are superb. The big one is duroc and the smaller one is red wattle. Pasture raised, organic fed, 12-15ish months old.I did a 48hr sous vide + 3 hour smoke on a whole shoulder from the duroc and it was phenomenal.
>>22064195I really like the hocks made from my pigs also. It's an annoyingly hard sell at the farmers market, so I get to enjoy them. Pigs feet are also insanely good. 3 hour simmer with aromatics, remove feet, strain broth. Make a sofrito, add feet, white wine, and some of the broth, simmer for 20 mins, put bread crumbs on top of feet and place in broiler until crispy on top. YUM.
>>22064257Looks good, I've had some duroc before and it's great as a pork chop. I don't care for sous vide though, not unless it's done in a glass jar.>>22064261Hocks are the best part of the whole hog. I've done a lot with hogs, I even made some scrapple. I made a thread here about it a while back.
>>22064262I didn't have the time to cook a 13lb shoulder for like 16+ hours on my smoker, so I just did it sous vide. Virgin hdpe is not really so bad in the grand scheme of microplastics. They don't use pthalates or any bisphenol compounds. I only wear organic cotton and have cotton bedsheets, so it balances out lol.I need to have my pigs slaughtered/cut and wrapped through usda processor for the most part. I recently sold a 5ish month old pig to family that was cooked whole and it was fantastic. I did a pozole with a pigs head also that was awesome. The heat meat is so rich and delicious.
>>22063918You’re a retarded tastelet then, sorry boutcha
>>22063006>roughly US shapedSomewhere an eagle cried a tear of happiness
>>22063877Do they still have them at older stores? The entire meat processing department is completely empty at my local shartmart. I've just seen the wagies taking the walmart brand chicken and steaks out of packaging and putting them on the shelves. I think they butcher it all somewhere else and just distribute it to the stores now
>>22064291Lidl and aldi are awful, Walmart isn’t great how the fuck do people in the states enjoy Aldi or lidl?
>>22063006Buying steak anywhere but Costco is genuinely insane to me. It's cheaper and better. Unless you're getting some shit from a local farm/butcher, it can't be beat.
>>22064413I have a Costco membership but absolutely abhor going there. It always feels like a mission I have to plan out to get in and out as quickly as possible, just going straight to the items I know I need and then right to the self checkout, maybe getting a hotdog and drink on my way out. Anyway, my point is that I have never taken the time to just look around and check things out. Are you comparing the cost based on normal undiscounted prices or is Costco cheaper even compared to sale/clearance prices at other stores? Does the Costco meat ever go on sale or do they have a clearance section? I never buy meat at full price, so is it even worth my time and despair to try to get a look at Costco's meat selection while picking up a $5 rotisserie chicken?
>>22064413Costco's meat hasn't ever been cheaper than Walmart, and going to Costco now is like going to an ethnic bazaar. Smelly people screeching at each other in their stilted languages. Their shit's all overpriced now anyway.
>>22064848I was literally just there yesterday. It is cheaper. Substantially. Here's a picture.>and going to Costco now is like going to an ethnic bazaar. Smelly people screeching at each other in their stilted languages.Damn that sucks, the only minorities we have are Koreans and Japs here, it has been a year since I've seen a black person.>>22064804I mean the steak I bought last night is cheaper than OPs.>I never buy meat at full price, so is it even worth my time and despair to try to get a look at Costco's meat selection while picking up a $5 rotisserie chicken?no, it doesn't go on sale.
>>22065041Prime was $16.99 for NY Strips last time I was at Walmart, last week.
>>22065053That's pretty cool, in my area they are the same price as OP. That's based on checking online, since walmart here is a total shithole and you couldn't pay me to go there.
>>22063006Most people don't understand beef grades, or think they're just marketing labels, so beef quality seems much more random to them than it really is.The USDA Prime and USDA Choice at Walmart is the same as about anywhere else. Aldi usually is a little cheaper for vacuum-sealed USDA Choice.If you buy the cheap ungraded beef at Walmart, it's as bad as cheap ungraded beef anywhere else, and it's usually plumped up with the legal limit of saline. Same for their unbranded chicken and pork: pay a little more for the national brands there.
>>22065041Nigga you're out of your mind if you think I'm paying $19/lb. That shit better come with a potato, some veggies, and a beer.
>>22065205You're going to be for prime new york strips pretty much anywhere.
>>22065223Not the shit on clearance that is ready to expire. I ain't preemptively buying steaks that need to be fresh a week later. I buy it on clearance and if I don't eat it within a day or two I freeze it.
>>22065205I'll bet you have a special dress-up beer cooler that you keep in good shape just for funerals and weddings.
>>22065230No thanks, I like fresher beef.I'd rather buy the whole loin there for $15/pound and butcher it than that. There's not even any bones, just cutting steaks off the thing then freezing them. Easy.
>>22065234Uh yeah it's called a tux box, liberal.>>22065238It's not wagyu, it tastes the same between the time it's cut and the time it begins to rot.I do buy loin on normal sales, ain't paying $15/lb for it, but it doesn't need to be on clearance either.
>>22065241>I do buy loin on normal sales, ain't paying $15/lb for itOk, that's nice. How much do you pay and for what grade of beef?Be real, you're buying cuck roast.
>>22065243Fuck if I know. My purchases are based on whatever is on sale at the time.Yum yum chuck roast put that shit in a slow cooker and it's just as good as the rest of the cow.
>>22065251Nope, it's not. But, I told myself that when I was broke too.
>>22063006>Where did the bad rep come from?The branded meat from other places is perfectly acceptable. It's the Walmart branded meat that is fake. They sell "wagyu" and "bison" meat that is neither. I personally have bought bison meat from Walmart just to see if it was good - it was not bison meat at all, just regular old cow meat. I guess Walmart thinks people are stupid (they are) who shop there and won't know because poor, but I've had real bison meat before and I immediately detected the scam. The same is true of their "wagyu" - it's just regular ass cow meat with a bit more fat in it, it is NOT sourced from actual Kobe or Wagyu cattle from Japan. For those who don't know, Bison has a different and distinct flavor that beef does not have. I hesitate to call it a gamey flavor, because personally I love it's unique flavor, but I can see how some rando could taste that blind and call it gamey. Cow meat won't have that. Also, if you have the chance to try Bison steaks, they are more tender than cow steaks for some reason. Good eating, but fucking expensive. Oh, and the main social media stink is Walmart inflating weights and prices with filler/water, or outright labeling 1lb as 1.1lb, shit like that. Essentially tons of false advertising and deceptive labeling practices.
>>22065371Um don't you know "Bison" and "Wagyu" are the Walmart brand names sweaty?
>>22064315Got rid of'em years ago. The butchers tried to join a union. Walmart's reply was to fire all the butchers and bring in frozen meat from another source.
>>22065519What a shit company
