Enough of this now,.... I think I should just stick to reefing topics.... |
I actually just called Costco, and YES... They do have a special needler machine for tenderizing. At least they don't hide that fact, and I guess needling is quite common now, unless you deal with a smaller butcher. But maybe they also perform this practice also. I just don't know.
No biggie, but you learn something everyday. Costco, IMO still has the best grades (AAA+) at comparable pricing to others at AA grade or lower. I have never gotten a bad piece of any meat from them (chicken, pork or beef).
In regards to date changing or repackaging, as you stated not illegal... But IMO just unethical. Not to keep promoting Costco, but another benefit is that they rotate stock so fast, they don't need to do that. Another bonus I guess.
And yes, I eat on occasion at MickeyD's, ChezRonaldo's, Wendy's Wet and Juicy (HEHE
), not often, but give the kids the odd treat. The real issue I guess with today's lifestyle or eating habits, is try to make a burger for $1.39 (McD's McDouble, or Jr. Chicken)... Sorry, sometimes it is easier, quicker and cheaper to go fast food, than cook your own fast food.
