Yep, always get my packers from them, every one has been good.

Damn that sounds like a lot of brisket.

What do you guys normally do when your freeze the leftovers?

Ideally you'd vacuum seal it in portions. But I just chuck some in freezer bags and try to get all the air out and don't leave it in the freezer for too long.

I think turner and george is free p&p over 40 quid. The 2 packer is 48 odd.

Ahh. Must admit I didn't look that hard.

I'm lucky there - Live inside the M25, so free delivery from T&G.

The short ribs, by the way, were phenominal. Definitely doing them again. Come out like lollipops with fist sized lump of beef on the end. And the taste....

From T&G or Hixon? Keep looking at the Galician ones on Hixon and wondering if they are worth the money. They look amazing.

I bought a packer from Tom Hixson last week, £35. It was Australian beef, had lots of gold and silver award stickers on the packaging but I really didn't pay much attention to what they were. I was a bit dubious about Australian beef, it doesn't really have much of a reputation however it came out well, a bit dry in the flat but I didn't separate it in time however I've used it to make a brisket chilli and it turned out very well. As for the taste, not much to get excited about, I've had far tastier British beef. Delivery was free because I added some bavette steak,pork shoulders, ribs, gammon and sausages to the order so that it came to over £100. The ribs were Spanish pork, tasted ok, sausages were 62% pork and contained MSG and tasted like you'd expect them to taste, wouldn't buy again and the gammon was from EU pork (not specified) and pumped with water.

I think I'll try Turner and George next.
