I've had a look around a few butchers and have seen no reduction of beef prices since the import of 17 tons of Dutch beef. It's either all gone to the large hotels or the butchers are not reducing their prices accordingly, surprise, surprise!

Yesterday, Supreme and Erulku both had big signs saying 'Ithalat' which means importation, at their meat counters. The prices for beef were lower than usual and rib-eye steak was on offer in Supreme.

Erulku is a big supermarket on way to Ercan. Heading East on Lefkosa to Gazimagusa road it's on left just after turning to Buffavento/Esentepe/Catalkoy. Good stock, nice fruit and veg section and some prices lower than Catalkoy supermarkets.

No its as NCFP wrote when Cyprus Today said the price of beef was coming down, "oh look, there’s something pink in the sky going oink!"

looks like they're keeping the beef where ex-pats can't buy it all up.

Agree with Andrew4232 that's why we didn't buy any.

I will make sure you are both kept alive until at least 2055.

I was told that the carcasses had BSE stamped on them which, when my friend discovered this, he was told stood for "British Supper Enjoyment". So the beef was really meant for the Brits, Hans.

You and me both Dutch Crusader. Our freezer is full. Erulku in Lefkosia still had it on sale this week and it's very good.

RE msg 12, BillyB: (...) Thats a fecking big cow. (...)

=> Wrong. Cows in Holland look big because the country is so tiny...
