Meat Good Portion of Budget There is no department in the supermarket where know- how counts more than in the meat department, It is estimated that up to one-third of the food budget is apent on meat items, including poultry and seafood. If you are spending more than one-third of your budget on meat, per- haps you should take another look at the cuts of meat you are buying and how much you are buying. You may be slighting one ‘of the other food groups. or concentrating on. chops and roasts to the exclusion of some of the leas ‘expensive and - equally nutritious cuts, The price of meat is no indication of its food value. Cheaper cuts of meat are just as nourishing as the more expensive cuts. The thing to remember is that the less expensive cuts of meat usually require more care in cooking. In most cases they should be cooked by moist methods, such as bralsing, stewing and pot roasting. On the other hand, there is agreat difference in the quality {or tenderness) of the same cut of meat depending on the brand or grade. Both the cut of meat ‘and the grade should be con- - sidered In determining the method of cooking.
