grocery shopping...
Bought some chicken leg quarters for 59 cents a pound a few weeks back. Tasty little critters. Had them on sale again, except for 69 cents a pound. That's a pretty good mark up, percentage wise, from a few weeks ago. Didn't get the leg quarters this time because as I was cruising down the meat isle there were Boston Butt on sale for 1.39 per pound. I had paid 1.69 a few weeks back when I bought those to make sausage with. I bought 60 pounds for that.
I wanted to find some on sale and try it for just making "burger" meat. Ground Boston butt.
Boston Butt Burger, if you will. BBB...Triple B...B cubed!
So, I bought 80 pounds. Went at grinding it up. That's a lot of meat! That's a lot of work! Double ground it.
Made a straight up "hamburger" out of some to see if it was going to be any good as a burger replacement. Triple B on a bun with some mayo. Pretty danged good.
With taxes and wrapping paper...1.60 per pound. More than one way to skin a Boston butt in these difficult times.
It whipped my azz but I'm ready to compete in a Boston Butt deboning contest against professional butchers.
I believe if I ever got in a knife fight, I could trim up a human so fast there'd be a cleaned off skeleton left standing before it had time to fall...swish, swoosh, hack, jab, stab, slice and dice...
Zorro, ain't chit compared to my knifmanship.
