I went into a popular Fresh Fish/Meat place today, that seems to do very well.
As I progressed along, my eyes lit up at the sight of Emu, Venison, Alpaca and Buffalo.
Then my mouth dropped at the price of them,
in their little vac-sealed packs with but the slivers of fillets in them.
$40 for Buffalo (this is the Water Buffalo)
Emu was the cheapest at $17, but very thin fillet.
Alpaca was $35 and Venison around the $25 mark.
Kangaroo was the cheapest, but more expensive than what you get at Woolworths, Coles, etc.
Now I can understand Emu being its price, considering its the best quality meat in the world.
But when they try to convince us that Water Buffalo is worth $40.
If Alpaca is trying to crack the market as well, this certainly isn't the way to do it.
So after 15 years of being inundated with heaps of Cooking Shows, Culinary Contests and Chef's on a Platter...
...everyone is paying the price to live up to such a standard of Boutique Bull**** !!
