I'll bet that there are few people on the Forum who totally and absolutely avoid supermarket meat specials. My wife and I deal with the matter thus: tonight cheapo fresh salmon (supermarket) - tomorrow roast half leg of mutton from high class butcher. Etc.
I bring the matter up here because when you buy cheap pork chops or chicken parts, yes, you can put a rub on them, but you can also put them into a short-time, seasoned brine - which changes the the taste AND THE TEXTURE. So- you can ring the changes on the cheap meat, and almost convince yourself you're eating like the duke's youngest brother.
And a couple times a week splash out.
GOS, yeah!!!
