Hey
I purchased my first brisket flat on Tuesday, it is in the refer, seasoned and awaiting a Friday morning cook, this will occur on a custom made UDS style unit made from clay, locally known as barro. I have cooked ribs twice on this unit, they were good.
The point of this post is to give you an idea of beef price, here in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico. We are about 50 miles south of Guadalajara, Mexicos second largest city, and on Mexicos largest lake, Lake Chapala.
Heres the cost break down:
The flat weighs 3.54 kilos = 7.80 lbs
The price per kilo $125 pesos = $4.78/lb
My cost $443.25 pesos = $33.90 USA dollars
I do not think mexicans eat a lot of beef given those numbers, considering the average wage earned here is something on the order of $50-75 pesos/hr.
How does this compare to where you are?
