“Basically butchery of any sort is a reductive cost incremental process.” Easy for my old colleague Geoff the butcher to say! What he actually meant was the more time and effort required in the butchery process, the more you have to charge for the end result. So generally with Chicken for example, you are better buying the full bird and cutting it yourself.
We often say food on a (very restricted) budget, doesn't need to be boring. So here's our Sunday dinner at a cost of less than £4 to feed two humans and Buster the Dog!
Giant Yorkshire pudding – Recipe here – Total cost less than £1
Roast potatoes, red and green Cabbage and a couple of Carrots – say £1
½ a small Chicken – Exactly £1.06!
Chicken stock gravy – say 25p
There is a well known Yorkshire Pudding Wrap business in York where you could pay £6.95 for a quarter of that in a paper wrapper. But you do get a fancy branded napkin!
