I've had perfectly good local beef in Tanzania and Kenya, provided that the butchering is well done it's often good.Actually, I was wondering why it wouldn’t have a good taste? But maybe the texture wouldn’t be great? Who cares if it had an ear tag since it was a couple of days old
A lorry driver said.Has anyone proved this, or is it pub talk? I have no axe to grind for ABP but I think it's unfair for this to be repeated endlessly on here without proof.
I do what I do and to the best of my ability .... but reckon that chlorinated chicken and hormone beef will be here asap ! Average Joe Blogs doesn't give a sh1t , as long as it's cheap !! Cynic , or what ??!!?? I'm FABBL etc , but seriously wonder why I bother in greater scheme of life ...... It's all rubbish to Gov.UK in reality ..... Now we're supposed to be planting more trees ....BPS is quietly stuffed .... Environment schemes for the 'better good' ...... Guess Chris Patten will be in on that one !
Yes you have a point, he will be doing FT deals with the “whole of Africa” if he can, and whilst this offers plenty of opportunities for exports of UK non Ag produce, he’s made it clear who will be sacrificed in return.I wouldnt wet your pants just yet , uganda only produces 211,000tons of beef in total and its taken them over five years to get there from 190,000 in 2011. Boris was just waving a carrot to woo them, africa is up for grabs.
So whilst they can’t competeThe cheap sh1t is already on shelves here, doesn't matter whether it comes from Brazil, USA, Poland or Uganda. Shouldn't make any difference to the market for our grass fed, fully traceable, properly butchered, high welfare beef.
No need i can recognise them and they know their namesWhere are there tags?

To stand a chance of winning the battle - then you need to make sure your product is of the high quality that you are implying and repeatedly so.
Who the hell wants to continue chomping down on a tough piece of alledged quality product, when the alledged inferior produce coming in often eats better and tastes just as good if not better (sorry to say).
For me, one should not have to slow cook an alledged high quality piece of meat to make it tender and not resemble a piece of leather with all the grissle etc that spoils the enjoyment.
Tin hat on!
Need to get paid on eating quality then. If you go to a Australian beef restaurant you can see marbling score of slaughtered animal on menu.
Somebody needs to create a brand that produces consistent eating quality. Standardise, finishing ration, breed of animal and treatment of carcass post slaughter. Until somebody does this i agree the quality of beef here isn't up to scratch.
And why would the beef in Argentina be better? My experience out there, and what I've read, suggests it's because they use and continue to develop the genetics we sold them 50 plus years ago. Hereford and Angus mainly, in common with most temperate beef-producing countries (most of which have higher beef consumption than us).Have eaten beef in Mexico, Argentina and parts of Africa whilst on holiday. I can honestly say it tasted just as good as British beef. I would go as far as to say beef in Argentina was better.
We produce lean butchers quality beef which is profitable, but has lost its taste.
