What is your favourite meat? Feel free to specify the type of cut as well .

I'm torn between leg of lamb and pork belly.

Leg of Lamb for me

I don't think you can beat a flavoursome chicken.

Lamb would be my least favourite. The smell of it cooking kind of puts me off. If I don't have to cook it, it's alright.

Rib eye steak or Chicken Thighs for me.

I would previously have said beef. Nice steaks, roasting joints, casserole cuts and mince.

Now though I think I would prefer pork as an all rounder. Luckily I don't have to choose

I mostly eat beef but I do love a bit of roasted ham.

I've only recently started buying roasting joints and I like them all (beef, lamb, pork) but I was pleasantly surprised how good the pork was.............and it's half the price of the other two

I'm a bit new to buying joints of meat

I was looking at Gammon roasting joints.............but I'm not sure what they are !..............

I've had gammon steaks which are like thick bacon........when you cook the gammon roasting joint does it end up as a joint of bacon or a joint of ham or even a joint of pork (I guess not the latter as it's salted ?)

I often boil mine to make soup and finish it in the oven. It stays as a joint of bacon or gammon. Cut it as thick or thin as you like. Lovely with mustard, mash and cabbage.

They are very good value for money I think.

OK, ta...............is it very salty ?

I think the easiest thing is for me just to get one this weekend and try it ..............

(I fancy the idea of pea and ham soup !)

I second the gammon proposal; very nice when boiled. I like it in sandwiches with lettuce and english mustard.

My favourites would have to be rib eye, leg of lamb and chicken wings (buffalo style).

There are different definitions.
Sometimes between it being a shoulder or a leg joint.
Sometimes between a wet brine or a dry salt brine.

Commonly though it's gammon when it's leg cut raw and brined (cured) and when cooked it can be called a ham (or gammon ham).


Bacon is usually from the belly or back.

I prefer shoulder of lamb to a leg.
Rump steak
Chicken thighs
Roast duck

I think any meat needs a bit of fat for flavour. Lean joints/steaks with all the fat cut of don't cook or eat well in my opinion.

I love chicken thighs as well. So tasty and cheap compared to chicken breasts .

When we can afford it I like chicken. The skin's great.

Beef in all its forms, square sausage, joints, fillet steaks, oxtail etc etc. Even beef bacon is pretty good (I've had it in Muslim countries). Proper bacon and gammon is probably next on the list.

If you're going to use the liquid you cook the gammon in for soup, soak it overnight and rinse well to remove a lot of the salt, otherwise you end up with a salt soup.

trouble with lamb, is it doesn;t eat well cold.

we have had a lot of nice pork recently.

Only had it a couple of times but I really like Duck. Especially with a sweet sauce.

Porterhouse steak, a roast chicken or duck breast.

Tough one, I'm yet to have a type of meat that I've not liked.

Nobody has mentioned venison yet, I love a nice bit of venison.

Rack of lamb and fillet steak

Probably Lamb and chicken.

Slow cooked pork ribs

Roast duck legs.

Rib eye steak
Pork fillet
Turkey
