JulesP Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Butchers are usually happy to mince or even slice meat up for you. I've even had stuff like liver minced up. I know this is going to sound really dumb - but I haven't found a "real butcher" yet I went into a big chain one the other day - and it was just rows of freezers. Saw photos of another one online - same thing. No fresh food court in the shopping centre ... I'm sure the kind of shop you can walk into and order meat from a block with a wicked sense of humor exists - but I'm yet to find it. I would stop some friendly looking person on the street and ask. Or ask in the post office or some other local shop that doesn't sell meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a crap time of the year to be honest - I can't even get a volunteer gig until the new year - I thought the local SPCA would be like "hell yes - please come clean our kennels" but alas ... they're all too busy christmassing.

Scottsmum Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Quick update. I discovered that petbarn (animates) over here sells a few options at the right price AND so far he's been on their minced chicken frame medallions with no complaints or tummy issues - so looks like I was over complicating things :) Have been buying a few other cuts from the supermarket as treats but we're back into a good routine where he eats all his meal most days! And I have settled on abandoning full raw - it just wasn't working for us - try as I might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottsmum Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 :) good update . Hope you get some sort of work soon . Thanks Perse - we needed to pop into spotlight for a specific thing yesterday. I've been avoiding it like nothing else (it was torture - so many bargains) but they had a "help wanted" sign up - job not advertised online - so I'll pop back in this arvo and maybe I could get a job there - then I'd spend every cent on material ... like a kid in a lolly shop... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
