D'Artagnan Meats

Tjcoley

Anyone ever order from here?  I somehow got on their mailing list.  Amazing selection, but I need a second job to afford anything.  How about an 11 pound, Japanese Wagyu (A-5 Grade) Ribeye Roast for $900 (On Sale).  And the Mangelica Ham on a stand is cool.

Yeah I've ground up a few A5's for burgers. Good stuff.

My local Wegmans carries some of their "low-end" stuff, so I'll get duck or boar from time to time.

ETA: forgot to say, I always enjoy it.

They have a very good reputation. But what I can usually afford is something like the tub of their duck fat.

As hams of that kind go, its a good price. La Quercia's Berkshire ham, Iowa raised, goes for just a little less.

I think it's hilarious that a forum that has constantly extols the virtue of $1000 grills and meat from SRF is complaining about how expensive something is.

That's actually a GREAT price on the Japanese A-5.  I've been thrilled when I've been able to buy it for $100/lb.  I would consider it, but I have a decent amount in the freezer that I need to eat.

(FWIW, you don't normally cook this meat anything like traditional steaks or roast.)

If you can find some, get some Ossabaw too. They get even fatter, but run real fast. You'd have 2 versions of 24 carat worth pig.

We have 4 right now. 2 mangas and 2 manga/swabian hall crosses. They are getting fat and eating very well
