When you are travelling, you should have a quick think about where your food has come from. When/if it is locally produced, your food is likely to be tastier, better for the local economy and fresher.

Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.

Buy Local Food : The most local food of all comes from your own garden. Plant a new garden, enlarge the one you already have, or extend your growing season by using row covers and cloches.

Beef advice
You are best shopping with a proper butcher instead of a big-name supermarket. A quality butcher will more often than not have a more extensive range of beef cuts than the self-service store, he will be more proud of the quality of his beef, is more likely to have hung it correctly, and he will be able to help you with advice on cooking procedures.

Beef is a lot more revered in the 'u.s.' than anyplace else in the whole world. If you were to add up all the steak and burger based meals devoured in the whole world, you may well be amazed to find that the 'u.s.' accounts for just about 25% of the total amount.
