Smart consumers make it their business to understand the different cuts and how to use them in meal preparation. Learning what to do with which cut, and how to save money by making informed shopping decisions, can make a big difference to food costs. We encourage you to communicate with the staff at your butchery. Many exciting and versatile cuts aren’t displayed in the butchery cabinets, and consumers have the right to ask for such cuts to be prepared on demand.
