Hi Tomwal, you can still pick it up at certain butchers - probably private ones rather than the supermarkets. If you've never seen or handled it, it's a dark almost brown meat rather than red, with a very open almost course texture. It usually has a thick connective tissue to the sides which to me gives it the appearance of a large squid (I have a vivid imagination). A photo on this thread shows why its also called the 'feather cut' and its a good example of what to look for.
There is a good butchers called Cook at 29 ORMSKIRK ROAD, RAINFORD. 01744 882644, which is probably about 12 miles from Southport. He has a small slaughter house in the rear yard of his shop and used to kill his beasts on a Monday morning. I had a farmer friend (deceased) who used to supply him with beef steers from Bold. I suppose if u got your order in early enough and explained exactly what you wanted, then he could put one aside for you. All the best Ste.
