Meat

We would always advocate using the best-quality meat possible. The Victorians did not routinely administer hormones or antibiotics to their cattle, nor did they practise battery farming. In Britain, there are various welfare marks which indicate well-cared-for animals, and we think that the organic standard is worth seeking out, both for ethical reasons and because the meat will taste better and be easier to handle. Wherever you live, it is worth making friends with a decent butcher.
