What do you do for a living

>>737985099
im a butcher too, what is your number one seller? Ribeyes, strips, charcoal steaks, beef loin, or tenderloin.?

>>737985099
No one is impressed pussyboi

Going to assume you are a butcher. How long have you been doing this? When you started, was there an adjustment period for you? What was that like?

Have you ever felt guilty for killing animals

Not one of those vegan fags btw

>>737985231
Does the smell of blood bother you?>>737985099

How much pesticide do you huff in a given week?

As a consumer, my favorite cuts are in this order:
Filet, Porterhouse, New York

I get New York steaks mostly though. How popular are those? Are they regarded as superior to Ribeye?

>>737985350
not op but other butcher, our department runs cold, average temperature is never over 55, and the cooler never gets about 41. smell isn't really and issue until later in the day when you have alot of scrapings or you are using a tool called a bone scraper, i'm not bothered by it. Chicken however sucks because most chicken you buy has water injected into it to make it weigh more which leaks out slowly, leaving this shitty chicken mucus which gets on things and stinks.

Is Halaal Meat better than regular meat?

Ask a guy who gets dubs for a living anything.

Is this a meat thread?

>>737985530
filet is the prime cut, and we price ours at 19.99 per lb. I am in the midwest so prices may vary around the nation.

Porterhouse is a good steak, tend to sale mostly to wealither people, honeslty, it seems like poor people hate dealing with bones and would rather get a boneless ribeye than actually have a nice tbone.

If you want something nice but cheaper than filet, try beef tenderloin, its a close cut to the mignon but wont kill your budget.

KC strip is another thing people seems to lose their god damn minds over in the summer and half my day is making strip.

>>737985817
I plan on making it one, I can tell you the ins and outs.

>>737985689
I wouldn't know I'm not a butcher

>>737985350
I like it

>>737985278

>>737985530
I work in a grocery store that is locally owned so we try to do alot in house, we have a fish monger, two butchers, and then 3 cutters and like 4 clerks. Cutters take what we slice down and actually make your portions. Clerks do stupid shit like when fucking dumb customers want tenderloin ground into sirloin ground beef and waste a good peice of meat.

ah

>>737985689

we have a small halaal section that is wardened off from the other meats, I don't want to deal with it and they have a butcher in KC that does halaal so that shit is all good, same with the little amount of kosher we have, my boss wants me "figure out how to get certified to do kosher", I explained I can't

>>737985910
Which cut of meat would be good in a stew?

>>737985099
Are you a hitman? If so, I have a job for you

>>737986530
see, stew meat is one of those things that its going to lose alot of flavor but pick up the seasoning so don't spend a ton, we have assholes that buy tons of expensive meats only to have us cut them into cubes, its's their money they are throwing away, oh well,.

Chuck or brisket, I would go with chuck though, tends to be slightly less marbled and I mean, I am a butcher, but we don't make alot of money.

Also, if you go to a butcher and say "I want something quality but I'm not really wealthy" we understand and will typically try to help you out, unless we catch you doing this shit every fucking week.

>>737986530

bone in short rib you can do, however, we usually have those no in a service case and out on the floor, take those, bring them to the counter and ask someone to cut it for you, if it is a good grocery store they will cut it, plus you can have them cut the bones in half so you can make your own nice beef stock.

Yes, meat bandsaws have two blades, one for bone in, one for bone out, do this before 7, since most butchers don't want to have to clean two blades before their shift ends at 9.

Beef tenderloin is filet mignon.....some asshole just called a tenderloin a filet mignon. It's the same as a New York strip and a KC strip same fucking thing.

I had a guy try to tell me the three different areas of a ribeye was strip tenderloin and ribeye....I fucking hate being a meat cutter people suck

>>737986815
Let me contact you. What is your email

>>737986530
also, best time to go to a grocery store is 11Am, we are finally fully stocked and have switched out day old meats and are actually ready to do things, except if it is sausage day. I've been trying to get premade sausage for our case but our manager insist people love it (they don't, but it's actual intestine so it's got that nice crunch like a quality sausage or hot dog)

>>737987129
god damn it, sorry, slipped up, yes, beef loin, sorry I meant top tenderloin

>>737987305

>>737987129
no, everyone calls it filet mignon when in our CAO machine it's beef loin, then we have the top sirloin

Hello fellow slaughterer of things.

My 4th of july consisted of killing like 20 something lobsters and around 200 crabs.

A week ago a lady had me cut 2 live lobsters in half. It was brutal, but kinda cool.

>>737987752
>>737987742
kek

Halal is similar to kosher
Most important thing to cut kosher meat it has to be blessed by a rabbi there are more standards to follow but that is number 1
Filet mignon is fucking tenderloin
Kc is a fucking strip
Delmonico is a ribeye

>>737987587
That great everyone calls it filet mignon are you in France? If so cool if not it's people who have no idea what a filet mignon is and just think it's some super special cut.
>>737987755
Cool man I'm a meat cutter for a grocery chain popular in the south, most store are going to pre packed, food Lion and Wal Mart mostly. I'm too young to make it to retirement age before every store will just be pre packed bullshit, gonna have to work at an actual butcher shop one day. If those even exist in 20 years

Thanks for the advice

>>737988275
Bet it is the jolly green shit show publix

>>737988074
i thought the correct way to prep/cook lobster is to boil it alive, place it in to a pan of cool salty water and bring it up to the boil until it turns red then you remove the meat from the shell i could be wrong

>>73798807
If you sprinkle salt on the inside after cutting it in half it fucking spazs out for a couple mins

>>737985099
Just wondering. You say you kill things but i have never seen a butchers with an on site abattoir.. but you talk more like a butcher with your prices etc.. should this really be a ask a butcher anything??

Are you a zombie that turns rich people into zombies and then charge them $25,000 per month to keep them supplied in brains so they won't go all George Romero and get your brains by kidnapping homeless teenagers and bringing them to a butcher shop that you aquired by turning the owner into a zombie and killing the teenagers and harvesting their brains?

>>737988580
Shit show? Nah but if that's how you feel I'm not gonna try and change your opinion, people hate or love Publix there's no in-between

>>737988587
Most store have a steamer and you can just cook them in like 5 mins like that. Generally speaking tho you should just put it in a pot and then start to boil it

>>737988857
Good show

>>737988275
no, midwest, we just have alot of pretentious fucks

You can do it that way.

It's more efficient to cook them in Cleveland steamers though in a volume setting, though. Thats what I do.

In regards to the cutting the lives in half:

some people will just grill them from raw, cross sectioned. It's a shitty way to do it and will fuck your grill up cause lungs and intestines explode. But whatever, they're paying.Pic related.

>>737989188
Damn fucking right it is. Season 3 just hit Netflix. I hate how people pass it off as a girly Twilight-type drama.

Whats your favourite captive bolt method ?

>>737988697
I've been responding to things so I will take this one, we do have essentially 4 rooms, freezer, aba, cooler, and cutting room, the cutting room has fucking windows so they can see us working for some reason, the rest do not. We get whole animals with organs removed and skins and then we go from there. We then will package it into larger peices that are cuts for the meat cutters to handle in the cold room.

Trips of truth.

Also, if you cold to boil, a few people I know that cook in the south put vinegar and salt in the water. It allegedly "makes it taste like the ocean", but I dont care for it or lobster in general. Mako that came in last night was epic though.

>>737989271
my store has been thinking about getting a lobster tank, we usually just have cooked or raw since our location, how much of a pain in the ass is a lobster tank and are you feeding them as well?

>>737985099

good to know my brother was talking about getting some lobster in just 2 days ago, i'm not a massive fan of seafood but i'm looking forward to trying lobster, i think we are gonna boil them up and have them in a chinese style curry

>>737989534
So you have livestock in the back waiting for slaughter in a town butchers? Just find it hard to imagine this? As some regulations dictate how long after transport an animal can be slaughtered. Also the segregation of different livestock. Must be a huge place!

>>737989671
Our lobster tank is easliy maintained you just scrub the inside during slow times usually at night or in the morning, change the filter when the light comes on and make sure you purge the lobsters before putting them in the tank. This involves just getting water the same temp as the tank water adding salt and letting them just shit in there and then just throw them in the tank. Also dropping some anti bacteria shit in there every couple weeks

>>737990168
nah, only beef, we only keep beef in the case, we don't deal with pork, the pork is precuts sent to us. we are talking about cattle that has been deorganed, skins, etc. only dealing with the carcass
