I was down there today (QingShiQiao) and in a freezer at the place I buy kilos of bacon, found sides labelled “Angus” from Washington. I’ll find out whether it is tomorrow night 😀 Attached images of the package, the sliced bits o the package, the steaks semi-fridge-thawed, and the thickness. You can of course set the thickness — I did so myself, because “thicker” resulted in a tiny adjustment which still left them paper-ish thin.
Without haggling the price was 85/lb, they of course have local reasonable looking sides at half that. Maybe this is just deceptive packaging, but they do have a lot of good import stuff..so here’s hoping. The price still results in a better deal than what you will get at Auchan…with custom cuts and hopefully much better quality product.
