Interesting that different people appear to be at poplar opposites as to whether the comment was simply intended a joke or intended as an insult.

Re: $95k in Auckland

Re: $95k in Auckland

Create a new topic with added reading references would be good.

I'm interested in information of this ilk, providing it's more than anecdotal stuff :thumbup:

Re: $95k in Auckland

Nah, I'm good. Nothing to prove here.

All I can do is speak to people with knowledge for information. In this case restaurateurs and butchers. I would have asked a farmer too if I knew one!!

Maybe.

But I like to think I get an honest answer when I ask a question in person.

And I've already noted that I'm of the opinion that the red meat quality is on par with the London company I...

Re: $95k in Auckland

TIP - if you buy chillies but don't need to use them soon, freeze them.

Sounds obvious I know, but I didn't think of it until I saw a mate get some out of his freezer recently to make a Vietnamese...

Grass fed - I buy; HERE (http://www.westmerebutchery.co.nz/buy-beef-online.html).

Hand on heart, our household weekly menu has broadened since being in New Zealand. Different things to cook with, one of the more recent finds the KamoKamo.

Re: $95k in Auckland

In the case of the Tomato, which I now wish I didn't use as an example, I don't know specifically.

All I'm saying is that if you don't value something at it's cost, don't buy it. How important is...

I tend to use a few of rules however:

Low in sugar - less then 10g per 100g.
