this place is nasty. looks good at a glance, take a closer look at the severe lack of sanitation and obvious cross contamination, starting with the owner. the staff is not overly knowledgeable about the products and you get a sense that they'd rather be anywhere else.
wow. its weird that you would say that, i've been going there for years and think its fantasic. some of the younger staff get confused sometimes, but there is always someone there to answer any of my questions.
BLoor MEat Market is a great place. Charming...and you can tell from the smell it is CLEAN. At least you know where the meat is coming from. And free-range, grain fed etc. VERY FRESH
That "animal on" commentator might be a rival-deli owner OR someone who thinks cellophane keeps things clean and fresh. How about ground beef that come from a 4-foot-ball field-sized plant - and the convoluted process of saving costs - of fat trimmings and discarded lean scraps remarbleized to ressemble natural meat - as NYT yesterday described: " made from a mix of slaughterhouse trimmings and a mash-like product derived from scraps that were ground together at a plant in Wisconsin. The ingredients came from slaughterhouses in Nebraska, Texas and Uruguay, and from a South Dakota company that processes fatty trimmings and treats them with ammonia to kill bacteria.NYT article, Oc. 6" Phew. YOu can't trace bacteria back to a specific herd when you buy the big brand names.
Do you cook turkey's for thanksgiving
Are you kidding, this place is one of the best in Toronto, I have been going there for years. The staff are wonderful, and very knowledgeable. On any Saturday you can't even step into this place without bumping into someone because it's packed.
Myself like many others in Toronto and other parts of the city will continue to shop here.
I do like this place, however... why is the chicken breast meat so large? My feeling is this chicken is not free range and these are obese chickens that probably can not stand on their own 2 feet due to their weight.
If a chicken breast is the size of a normal turkey breast then something does not add up.
Whoever doesn't like this place needs therapy. That would be you, Animal. Very appropriate handle you've got there. Except it doesn't explain your OCD issues.
This is an excellent butcher. Animal is the first person I've ever heard who doesn't like the place.
And Yolanda, just cut the breast into smaller pieces. You sound like some animal rights conspiracy theorist or something.
