As beef price inflation soars to 27%, customers are turning to cheaper pork alternatives, Waitrose says
Pork is the “new beef”, with Britons increasingly making the money-saving meat swap for dishes such as spaghetti bolognese or T-bone steak, according to a new report.
With the latest official figures showing beef price inflation running at 27%, customers are looking to buy pork cuts that you would typically associate with beef. That list runs to free-range fillets and short ribs as well as T-bone and rib-eye steaks, Waitrose says in its annual food and drink report.
