Meat Matters: Butchers, Politics, and Market Culture in Eighteenth-Century Paris (Changing Perspectives on Early Modern Europe)

Product Information

That was one of my proudest moments and one of our defining moments as a business because there were no places to hide - our product had to be bang on. A ferocious sear on the hob, a brief oven cook, and a good rest later and the result was a gorgeous medium rare piece of meat with a bronze crusted exterior. In addition, there is an increasing resistance against the meat industry in the Western World on for example animal welfare grounds. As a student of Steven Kaplan, Watts brings a many-sided exploration to meat similar to that Kaplan has developed magisterially for bread. Nutritionally, proteins from plants such as peas or soy would be excellent protein sources, but many consumers prefer meat.

Flowing back and forth between Ethiopia to Israel, Meat Matters follows the many strands of significance surrounding cows and meat, ultimately forming a vibrant web of meaning at the heart of the Beta Israel community today. It’s because it creates a way that we can deal with the beef in the most efficient and hygienic way and keep it at its very best. It’s not because I’m tight, it’s because I want to spend our money in the most important areas - my team, the produce and the environment in which it’s kept. In eighteenth century Paris, municipal authorities, guild officers, merchant butchers, stall workers, and tripe dealers pledged to provide a steady supply of healthful meat to urban elites and the working poor. So, if you’re looking for inspiration with what to do with your Meat Matters produce then look no further social media.A route to reduce the consumption of those products is the development of plant-based analogues for meat or meat-like products. This is just one example of how LMC can use a small amount of funding to deliver a huge impact in Northern Ireland’s key export market; Great Britain. The Meat Matters communication plan uses a varied media mix to achieve this including the MeatMATTERS. In a break with the usual cuts of beef available from the local butcher, Olly showcases retired Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire dairy cows.

The production and consumption of meat becomes a window on important aspects of eighteenth-century culture, society, and politics, on class relations, and on economic change. Meat Matters] provides an often fascinating and very suggestive addition to the literature on the "consumer revolution" that has rarely yet treated the literally consumable. In collaboration with Tom Bray of Country Fire Kitchen, Olly cooked a feast for the Harlequins Rugby Team in June. It was an absolutely class piece of meat, tender, deeply beefy in flavour and juicy with an addictive seam of crisp yellow fat. Meat Matters is owned by Olly Woolnough, a former HR specialist and massive foodie from London, who moved to the Gower Peninsula over 10 years ago and wanted to do more to celebrate the brilliant Welsh produce on his doorstep.In some cases, the local authority may decide that they cannot do so but will let you know this and explain why.

Speaking about the selection process he goes through with his beef, Olly says: “Every loin and rib is different. LMC, together with other levy bodies from the UK, RoI and internationally contribute funding to this initiative.
