Interested to see your post as I was about to go down a rabbit hole, but will start with you ! I had a great meal in San Sebastian yesterday including a boneless skin on chicken thigh that looked alot like yours. Very very crispy skin and unbelievalbly tender meat. I’m trying to figure out how they may have cooked it . How did you cook yours ?
That lamb is gorgeous 
Dinner last night was Arugula salad with roasted pork tenderloin, cocktail tomatoes and cucumber dressed in red wine vinegar and XVOO.

You must be keeping the pork tenderloin industry in Canada singlehandedly alive 
Love me some good pork tenderloin! I always buy some when it’s on sale, which is pretty often. It’s a good source of lean protein for me.

It’s pretty cheap around these parts, too. I should get it more often.
As you know, I love a good piece of steak, but the price has pushed it into the “occasional treat” department, same with chicken breasts

How much are each - here (SF) pork tenderloin and chicken breast are about the same price ?
Yeah, we rarely get steak, and when we do it is a treat, indeed. Chuck-eye is a good compromise for rib-eye, which I find too fatty these days anyway.
I’ve not gotten chicken breasts lately, save for an order with a local farmer that also included a massive tub o’ lard & two duck breasts I’ll make soon — maybe even over the Thxgiving break. I have a hankering for simple potato gratin, which would go swell with the ducky.
Are you talking BISO or BLSL breasts?

I only buy skin on boneless breasts, but it’s almost impossible to find in my hood. Next spring, once I put my car back on the road, I’ll but a case of breasts to split with the fam from my friend who runs a catering co, the best breasts in town!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen let alone bought BLSO breasts. I got BLSO thighs by mistake recently for … dunno, Peruvian chicken I think, and we were super-surprised how much quicker they cooked. Then we realized duh, no bone.
I like the BLSO thighs. Don’t think the bone adds all that much. But I def prefer BISO boobz.
Wow, really? BISO chicken breasts can be as low as $1.49 USD, and B/S can be anywhere from $2.49 to $6.99 or more, depending if you get Perdue (which I don’t), store-brand, or Bell & Evans. or an Organic Wegmans. I can usually get 3 meals out of a single b/s chicken breast.

I usually buy boneless skinless breasts and this week they are on sale in Ottawa in the $5 to $6/lb range. I think the regular price is $7+/lb. They might be a little more expensive where @PedroPero live. (@PedroPero I think you live in TO? I’m guessing the cost of living is a little higher than Ottawa.) The last time I bought blsl breasts was at the farmers market over the summer and I think I paid in the $13 range for a lb. I know that sounds like a lot of money but I don’t eat much meat and a lb of meat goes a long way in my house…

Ya, I don’t buy BISO breasts that often, and when I do, I immediately take the back plate off and roast it for stock. boneless skin on cooks up way faster and I don’t trust those big ass boobs

I doubt there’s a huge difference in cost of living between the 2 cities. I buy a case of 40 BLSO breasts(4-6oz each) from my friend for around $80-$85, so about $2 a breast. Way better price than I can get anywhere.

That’s AMAZING! And the 4-6 oz. is what they SHOULD be vs. the Frankenchicken breasts that are prevalent in the U.S. in stupidmarkets. I think B&E are probably the only brand (at least that I can think of off the top of my head) that are proportional and don’t end up being almost a lb. each. Poor chickens.

It’s been a while since I’ve bought a case, and I’m sure it’s gone up a bit, but still worth it for me.
