British BBQ Society Forums

I thought it might be an idea to put up a price comparison thread for BBQ meats so that we can all see how prices change accross the country and see if we think we're getting ripped off on some items.Hers a start.

His charge on the brisket was quite expensive in relation to Jokers contacts, but he does rear his own cattle and hangs all his meat. Pork isn't imported.
