Sorry didnt get back but Arkonite sorted you out. I wouldnt touch Crosskeys for any price, not a fan of imported Eastern European meat

Pretani

Dunbia, fenaghy rd, cullybackey (used to be Stevensons) sell pork cheap to the public. Pretty big quantities if I recall, so you'll need a freezer.

The Butchers in Monkstown is good, does good value meat parcels and has reduced prices on Tuesdays.

Moy park Dungannon have a factory shop opens at 10am cant mind offhand what time it closes. stock can be a bit hit and miss, i was in on tuesday and all they had were mini fillets and chicken livers.

One of the very best I have experienced is a place at the bottom of Holywood Road in Belfast. Had a T-Bone out of there and it was most definitely one of the very best steaks I have ever eaten. I would gladly have paid 15-20 quid out for it, it was that good. Their ribs are also top quality, and their sausages have won awards. The chilli ones are very special indeed...!!

Big Andy, Do you know the name of the butchers or is there only one there ? I am down that way Tuesday and like the sound of those sausages. Is it near the health centre ?

Was in the Okanes (Moy park) Ballymena factory shop on Monday and some serious bargains if you like your chicken & Turkey

My mum used to work in the O'Kane's factory years ago. She hasn't touched chicken since. :eek:

So what?......People are like that, its happens everywhere, ........O'Kanes supplies to M&S, did you know that?............you'll have to get over the kreepies. Once you cook the food its fine. Just the same way a dog kills a pheasant, once its washed and cooked its fine.
