I  love
eating as much fat with my meat as possible, but as more  small-scale
independent butchers are getting put out of business by the  supermarkets
on the larger islands here, it is getting harder to buy small  cuts of meat
with sufficient fat attached.



I live in Miami Florida and I find the same problem, however my super  market
will sell me the trimmed fat if I ask for it. I freeze it in mealsize
portions and add it to the meat when I cook it.   JerrySteg
