    I got one of the Sainsbury's beef joints (Topside) at £4.49 kg today. An enormous joint for £9.25 - I cut it into two good sized joints and froze the two halves. Looked lovely lean meat.

    We've ordered a meat hamper from our butcher :

    10lb Farm Turkey
    3lb Gammon joint
    3lb Pork joint
    3lb Silverside joint
    1lb Best bacon
    1lb Best sausages
    1lb Pork pie

    And a Bottle of Red/White or Rose wine

    All for £45.00

    If your Butcher delivers that lot I'm all for trying anything other than a supermarket pack ;-)

    Thanks, maybe I'll try and find someone to take me to dinner and order lobster before trying Lidls version then will be able to give a more credible review.
