U.S. Beef

To much surprise, there seems to be pretty high standards as far as food safety goes. Until recently, US beef had not been imported. You see there is a fear that if US beef is sold, mad cow disease would be spread. Similarly, when there was a bird flu outbreak, eggs were incredibly hard to find. And the swine flu...oh well, there will NEVER be pork in Qatar! lol Kelsey and I were shopping yesterday and there was a huge sign-U.S. Beef! We have been seeing U.S. Beef in the hotels for some time now and in the grocery stores from time to time, but it has been quite expensive. So when I saw minced beef...aka...ground beef and reasonably priced, I bought. Just in case you are trying to convert, I paid about $5.75 for a pound of ground beef. Not bad, there is no tax here! ;-)
