Meats are cut into strips for stirfrys or a piece of salmon steak/fillet (400g maybe) steamed with various herbs is shared amongst 4 people. Liver/kidney and hearts are good too. We only get stuff on special. You can also go to more wholesalers to get a whole fish but you need to maybe split the fish into 2 days for the family and clean and scale the fish..... (cheaper than getting non special fish items at the supermarket). We also use a lot mince in like ravioli dishes, rissoles, filing into capsicum cases. You can also steam egg with half part water, oil + seasoning with mince or flakes of canned fish or fresh fish. Or have half the eggs with salty eggs - that is you have raw egg (with the shell) and put into a jar with v salty water to preserve. With eggs alone, cover with a dish when you steam so you get a v smooth velvety texture. We also use non-strong flavour white fleesh fish like hoki or ling to make congee. We have the odd grilled meats or roast perhaps once a month.	Nomad (952)

Fonterra's dairy factory at Edendale is getting bigger and bigger as is the price of their milk. Insects? I used to have to clean cow **** off my car. Kicked up off the road from the filthy stock trucks. In fact try being behind one - sprayed all over the bonnet and windscreen. Not to mention the rivers now, the dirty filthy Matuara. Still. I love my cheese.	pctek (84)

Just who are the middle men between Fonterra and the supermarkets, bearing in mind that Fonterra is owned by the farmers. We really need a comprehensive price breakdown / profit take for every stage from farmer to consumer, with no nonsense about commercial confidentiality.	Terry Porritt (14)

Be fair Terr, how can my mate pay $42k for a gun if you start looking at excess profit?	Cicero (40)

Yes I always keep my distance from stock trucks. You do not see many stock trucks being tailgated.	Bobh (5192)
