No, sadly I cannot claim them... Had a good friend of mine give me a rather large
amount of game... His wife made him give it all away due to him having cholesterol problems... He is going to be on a strict diet of chicken and fish... I fish when I get the chance and had some fillets in the freezer that I passed on to him.. I also sneaked him a couple of the chopped steaks last night..:D
On a different note, I have owned both manual and electric meat grinders and could never get them to work right (sold them long ago in garage sales)... A couple of weeks ago, I had a large pack of boneless pork ribs, and really wasn't in the mood for them... so I remembered that the blender that we purchased was also a food processor (cheapo from Wally world)... it comes with several blades and it has one that is "S" shaped. I put that blade in, and man let me tell you, that thing makes the best ground meat that I could ever hope for... we also made Italian style meat balls with that meat, but had them with angel hair pasta... The reason I mention this, is for most of us having a meat grinder doesn't make sense,... but if need be, this type of blender/processor really works great...
I have told the wife not to purchase anymore hamburger, for the simple fact that it is over priced and that they add water to the meat to increase the weight... I have told her from now on to purchase roasts when they are on sale and that I will trim them and grind our own hamburger meat... I think from the experience that I have had processing this meat that we will end up with a better quality product at a cheaper price... especially when briskets go on sale....
