Re: The price of beef
jm, isn't it better to buy straight beef? At least you know it won't be padded with rat/ cat/ dog meat/ offal?

What kind of beef? 8.5$/kg isn't bad depending on the cut. For ground beef then yeah it's not good. But indeed, the prices are climbing quickly. Just imagine how it feels to the locals (they don't buy at Lucky obviously, but the prices are higher at the markets too). I don't see much beef for 5$/kg in the west anymore. When's the last time you went to wallmart?

Sorry didn't see you said "ground beef" in your original post. Yeah that's pretty steep. I would expect steaks to be around 8-13$/kg but not ground beef. Dan's Meats is good, but so damn expensive. So is that French place near Monivong which supplies many restaurants with pates and platters.
I live in Japan. Ground beef is usually around $5/lb. Usually, it's mixed with pork, which I don't mind. Sirloin or rib steaks from New Zealand, Tasmania or Australia are about $10-15/lb. But the Japanese produce something called 'wa gyuu'. It is a melt in your mouth, cut with a butter knife, marbled fat in the lean that is absolutely heaven. Once in a while I just can't help myself and splurge. One 200gram (just under 1/2lb) for around $15. So that's $30/lb. But it tastes so good! So good in fact that you don't even want to to eat cheaper imported beef.
If it's neither here nor there, then where the hell is it?

Hey! Sothea! Stop padding the beef with dog. Use more rats! That guy we sell to at the Garage says dog meat is expensive, you dickhead! What were u thinking?
Sorry boss, right on it, boss.
Oh, and another thing...
Yes, boss?
Have you finished pouring the Mekong into the Johnny Walker bottles?
Yes boss, and we peed in all the Budweiser bottles already.
Good lad.

MY GF pays i think just over $5 for 1kg of beef at the local market, then she just smashes it up with a cleaver, i might buy her a meat grinder though if i can be bothered, so my offer to you JM is $8:40 for a 1kg of ground beef
i don't think beef is directly subsidized but the feed certainly is(corn, soy).hanky wrote:Isn't beef heavily subsidized in the west?
My mate whop runs a hostel in perth can buy in bulk for about $6 a kilo but prime cuts are over $30.
Smokey the boar told me a few weeks ago that the cham slaughtermen were doing 10 cows every two days,now as few as one day sometimes.
No demand from the locals,beef is too expensive as is pork.
What will happen in a country like this when the fresh water fishery is stuffed by the dams and animal protein is too expensive?
No doubt the authorities are working as we speak on long term contingency plans.
And agriculture is heavily subsidised in the EU and the US but no longer in australasia.
