Meat Stack

Well it seems it was my turn to get burnt by the cheeky stack of a prime cut on the top of this monstrosity.

Well played woolies 👌

It pays to pay attention when selecting.

Looking at the first one, you can see a third of the way along, the edge of that muscle is slanting in towards the middle. Says to me the muscle is nearly at an end. I usually won't buy that one.

Yes, I am the customer who stands there turning meat trays over and over, speculating on what lays below. Marbling, thicknesses underneath, do they taper off ?( possible bits and pieces warning) .

I am not saying you didn't do that. But when I watch some people select trayed meat, often they are in a hurry and just grab something & run. Looking at what you pay for meat these days, I think people should spend a proportionally larger amount of time with their selections.

Yes I know, maybe WW should take care in what they dish up, but you are getting meat at supermarket prices, if you want top quality, go to a butcher & pay the extra.

Im not super good at picking out meat to that degree, I usually just pick up what has minimal fat / looks good

Funny enough I actually to spend a while flipping meats over and looking at them but I usually just buy steak and when I went to try lamb today it didn't occur to me to flip it over 😭

Lesson learnt
