Kitchen budgets are under pressure as meat prices skyrocket in Kerala. With buffalo meat hitting ₹500 and chicken prices surging, supply hits from neighbouring states and summer heat are taking a toll. Here is why your restaurant bill might be going up next. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/sharp-rise-in-chicken-and-beef-prices-in-kerala-as-inter-state-supply-declines-iegi5wkt?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #KeralaMeatPrice #ChickenPriceHike #BuffaloMeat #MarketUpdate

So, I stopped eating beef years ago. I do occasionally indulge in buffalo stew. I know that nutritionally, buffalo is superior to beef, has less fat, and is a bit blander than beef (but that's why there's herbs and spices). And I'm pretty certain buffalo has a better footprint when it comes to the environment -- since like my goat friends, they graze on whatever is around, and don't need to be pumped up on steroids or antibiotics. If one is going to eat red meat, give buffalo a try! It's more expensive than beef, but that just emphasizes that meat should be a special treat, and not a daily occurrence (I'm looking at you, fast, cheap food joints). And yes, if one is on a budget, make a stew -- stews make for great leftovers! And the best mozarella dairy cheese is made from buffalo milk!
