Gervase, that was exactly the point of my post, which I think you attributed to Grab. Free-range and organic meat is prohibitively expensive for most people, but if you shop for the cheap cuts/offal/wobbly bits, whatever you want to call them, they can often be cheaper than the over butchered, skinless, flavourless, plastic wrapped, chemical saturated garbage that most people live on.

We're all busy people, taking a bit more time over your shopping rather than throwing factory farmed junk into your Tesco trolley is better for you, better for your children and better for the planet. If you think it's important you'll find the time. If you don't care, you won't.

I too have fond childhood memories of my mother up to her elbows in pig's brains making brawn. Not a pretty sight, but it hasn't put me off the wobbly bits.
