Fellow meat freaks,
I am new to the pit, and am in need of some help! I am currently active duty U.S. Army stationed in Belgium, and I'm having a rough time with local meats.
A little background...
The only english grocery is the commissary and it is NOT sufficient for my BBQ needs. Don't get me wrong, it has the basics, but nothing outside that.
I would like to dabble into the local butcher shops, but don't know where to start. All of them are french butchers. I have sourced some of my english speaking Belgian friends, but when I get to talking BBQ lingo, they are lost and I am back to square one.
My question is...
Is there anyone who knows anything about french meat? Beef, Pork, etc. I only know of the Belgian Blue cattle, and it is SUPER lean and tough (see picture below).
I would like to shop at local shops but know nothing about them. Any help would be awesome! Thanks
