Morrisons meat tends to be better than that in most other supermarkets, I'm told.

Is there anything else they are above average for?

Strangely, I've always found their meat to be sub par whenever my ex shopped there. Veg was alright, though.

I've found their meat to be crap if I'm honest, it's not hung for long enough and tends to be tough. Most supermarkets tend to be the same. I either get mine from a butcher of shoot it myself.

Their selection of Polish cured sausages is good and their black pudding is excellent though.

A lot of Morrison's meat is packed in a factory a couple of miles from my house. One of my mates is a manager there.

Last year, I believe that the factory supplied to a few supermarkets, not just Morrison's. Now they deal with Morrison's exclusively. I'd argue that meats are probably more or less the same quality regardless of which supermarket you choose (especially the cheaper ranges), since the factory have supplied meats to many supermarkets in the past.

I've also heard that Morrison's meat is better. I don't know if it's true though. I'm inclined to believe that it's not true.

However, I'm a vegetarian so I wouldn't know!

I used to shop in the SM with that name every week....it wasn't until I stopped shopping there that I realised I hadn't been ill since. Then spoke to someone who worked there and was put off buying their meat for life. ( obviously she could have been making it up and it could have just been in that shop alone but added to me not being ill anymore it seemed to go hand in hand )

Balsamic dressing... they do really good stuff that I've never seen anywhere else.

I've not tried them for meat though so that's good to know. I generally go to M&S or Sainsburys if I'm not going near one of the farm shops. I wouldn't buy red meat from Asda again, once was sufficient.

Supermarket meat is poor quality compared to most high street butchers and farm shops, maybe cheaper, but you get what you pay for, we prefer to support our local farmers and traders, not some super company sucking the life out of local businesses!

I get my fuel from morrisons so I get the vouchers quite often.

I like the fact that they sell some of the really cheap cuts of meat like meaty bones and lamb ribs that you can't get everywhere - they're perfect for the slow cooker.

And the bargain bin is very handy too.

I've found their meat to be tops too. If you can't get a thick enough steak go to butcher counter and ask.... I did this with ribeye steak when a friend said she wanted "bigger" steaks than we normally had.....I came back with two steaks, 2nhalf inches thick and weighing over a kilo each....was funny watching her eat hers! Put an end to fund hat night tho,,,with chips, veg and JD sauce......, we couldn't feckin move afterwards!

I've just tried some of their peppered beef with a salad. Fucking hell, more like napalm beef! I think it's burnt my tongue off.

I'll probably end up throwing it away because it's far too hot for me. Shame, as it's lovely beef.
