I live in Thailand now, but lived most of my life in The Netherlands. I live on the Thai countryside. Most of the pork and beef/buffalo meat my girlfriend buys in the village market, I don’t really enjoy. It’s often “chewy”. Apparently Thai people do like these kinds of meat, but I think The Netherlands would export most of this meat the 2nd or 3rd world countries. Those “chewy” kinds of meat would be ok when slow cooked I’d wager, perhaps in a Hungarian goulash [0]. I suspect the local pig farmers send the best cuts of meat to the big city, to sell for higher prices. At least the chicken meat is good. —- [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goulash https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goulash
