Does WalMart really have good meats?

Eye round was shoe leather-yeah, I know it should be braised.
Skirt steak tasted like broiled jerky.
Are there any types of meats that are better than others from Walmart; any

Wal Mart meat sucks. Avoid it and be happy. If you want a good cut at
reasonable prices, go to BJ's, Costco, or a good local butcher. The only
meat they have worth buying is packer cut briskets for making barbecue.
Everything else is low grade, enhanced with salt solutions and not worth
considering.

Go to a local butcher, or farm shop. Even better a local farm shop that
actually farms the meat you are buying.

I gave up on Wally World's meat department. The Tyson chickens are
always full of water, the beef is tough, and the pork is salty...

The only meat I buy at Walmart is the whole packer-cut briskets and the
frozen turkeys. And I'm looking for another source for the briskets; I
haven't bought a brisket in almost 2 years because the price is too
high. (almost $2 per pound at Walmart for the untrimmed ones, and about
$4 per pound or more everywhere else for trimmed and pumped briskets.)
Brisket ain't worth that much.

Most of the meat there is embalmed (they call it "enhanced"😉 with with
salt and phosphate solution to make it heavier and increase the shelf
life. And the prices are not even all that good. The whole briskets
are the only meat there that is not pumped up (the trimmed briskets
are). The turkeys are, but the price is good enough that I buy them
anyway.

The biggest problem I have with Walmartmeat is the stuff is spilling
over to all the other stores, so that good unadulterated meat is not
available at any price. So I just don't eat much meat.

Even though the meat was no good, you shouldn't have had those problems.
Sounds to me like you cooked everything wrong.

Never buy meat from Walmart! I mean, just look at it.

I wonder if their beef comes from China...

I'm in full agreement with Edwin.

I am surprised you have a problem. Walmarts meat vendors are required to
use the best embalming technology known to man.

Sure, but how about those "everyday low prices"...

In general, I agree, but it's the only place in Cow Hill -- or in the
county for that matter -- where I can get bison. And bison is good,
even if it's from Wallyworld.

Are you sure it's bison?
When Cabela's opened, I tried the bison burgers twice -- thumbs down. Ugly
stuff. I recall bison tasting pretty good.

In my experience, grain fed buffalo tastes like ordinary beef. The free-
range, hormone-free, antibiotic-free buffalo is delicious. The Carmen Creek
frozen burgers are good. The other brand for steaks is D'Artagnan. It's
super-lean so don't overcook.

It's also super-high protein stuff. Probably led to my gout, since I ate it
practically every day for almost a year. I still have a good supply of
buffalo in the freezer that I can't touch! 🙁 At least it stays fresh frozen
indefinitely.

I had a good chuckle over that one, too. :~)

Fresh frozen... now that is an oxymoron if ever there was one.

The quality of Wal-Mart meat is very close to being justification for
what some Amurricans would call Turrurism. It easily justifies
destruction of property.

I made a pot roast for my family this evening from Wal-Mart. We've had
some tough meat from them in the past, but this time it was wonderful.
But, I used the slow cooker so my hubby and the kids wouldn't complain
about toughness. It's amazing what an old-fashioned, 30-year old
"Crock Pot" can do for a piece of Wal-Mart beef! > B.T.
