Supermarkets often lack the necessary variety in meats and typically don t sell organ meats.
The prepackaged meats also make it difficult to purchase the correct amount of meat for the recipe. A local, small, independent butcher will be glad to weigh out your meats and organs to the precise amount that you require and grind the meats. Some of our customers report that their butcher grinds whole chickens, including the bones, which is an excellent idea. Often, if the butcher does not carry meats or organs that you desire, it is possible to order them. Meats must be fresh, preferably not previously frozen and ideally from non-medicated or organically raised livestock.
