This is in Norway. And I am absolutely sure that it's not sold in supermarkets. Same with flank steak. When I asked a local butcher for it, I was told that they could have it ready for me in 3 days, which implies that the slaughterhouse (or whatever is their upstream is) don't even deliver that part of the animal to the butcher.
- dpark 13y agoSorry for the late response, but wow. You can't even get flank steak? That's hugely popular here now (US, Seattle specifically). I can find flank steak everywhere (and the price is way up from where it used to be). That really interesting that you have to pre-order this. It's also interesting because it highlights that you actually have butchers. :) We have butchers in Seattle, of course, but most people get their meet from the supermarket now (in some parts of the country there are no standalone butchers anymore).
- lobster_johnson 13y agoMost people do get their meat from supermarkets in Norway, but a lot of butchers have cleverly turned their stores into high-end gourmet delis. Gourmet sausages, cured/smoked meats, marinades, pre-marinated meat etc. are all in vogue. I guess people got tired of obsessing about coffee and making beer. You still have quite a lot of old-style, no-frills butchers, but they are almost invariably halal butchers that serve the relevant part of the immigration population.
