Meaty, Meaty Heaven

This morning, I went to the Smithfield Meat Market in the hopes of getting some affordable, local meat. The market is huge, but for the average buyer (namely, me), there's a main aisle where every butcher has a little shopfront where there are various animal parts in refrigerated display cases. Behind the shopfronts, there's a glass enclosure where several pig carcasses are strung up and butchers are cutting the meat.



I ended up getting some chopped beef, chicken breasts, bacon, and sandwich meat. Everything was sold in large quantities, so I'll have to freeze some of it so it lasts long enough for me to eat it all.



To get an idea of the size:



Great, meaty success!

  1. Wow, this blog sure is food focused. Have you tried Pizza Express yet? Also - Marine Ices near the Chalk Farm tube stop (northern line) - best pizza in London.
