    I live in Kent and buy my skirt beef from a fairly local butcher - Rooks.  They are also online at www.rooksonline.co.uk although I'm not sure whether it's more expensive online as I've never had to use them but might be worth a look.

    I can't find the posting but someone on this thread wrote about beef skirt.

    When I lived in the north as a child my mother bought beef skirt. It was very distinctive and  the beef looked like it was striated. It was about 1-2ins in depth and quite a large flattish piece of meat (sorry not a very good description) but there was no fat on it at all and it was delicious and used in pies. Now living in the south when I ask for skirt it's nothing like I used to know and to be honest the butcher is of little help as well. The skirt is not striated - just a lump of meat.
    Does anyone recognise what I'm writing about and do you know what I could ask for so I get the cut I used to love.
    It may have been me, it is striated, I buy beef skirt regularly in Morrisons, it could be regional, I am from the Black Country but live in South Wales, don't recall skirt as a cut there,  you could look for one of those pictures that names bits of the cows, and possibly point it out to your butcher.
