Ah a real butcher! The late Mario who escaped the iron curtain with the clothes on his back and a some money in his pocket, eventually found work with a great butcher in Hudson County, NJ. His soccer skills provided entre to a wounderful community and the butcher whose shop he eventually bought! The endearing trait of Mario and all ‘real’ butchers was that the weight of meat declared by the customer was ‘only a suggestion’!
I learned a lot about meat and customer relations from the also late Buster, an Italian meatcutter and sausage maker whose shop on The Hill set the standard for quality. Two of his knives are in regular use in my kitchen and one has passed on to my goddaughter ensuring its use for another generation.
