Economic downturn sees cheaper cuts of meat make a reappearance

CHEAPER cuts of meat are back on the menu because of the credit crunch, industry observers have noticed.

Kilkenny butcher Gerry O’Brien will explain on the RTÉ programme Ear to the Ground tonight the cuts people can buy on a tighter budget.

Presenter Helen Carroll will set thrifty Kilkenny cook Catherine Nolan the challenge to cook a nutritious and locally sourced family meal for €15.
