Brisket is in greater supply than liver, as an example. Two per cow, 5-10kg. One liver per cow, about 5kg.
Cheap cuts were cheap and then started to become more popular as beef prices rise and now are pretty expensive compared to historical cost. Market pressure and all that.
Yeah, I grew up rural so when we needed beef, we had an uncle butcher a cow.
Extended family would split it between a couple households in deep freezers, but organ meat was always fucking contentious because we were all hillbillies.
At one point there was a waiting list for hearts, and we even tried a raffle system.
It’s all supply and demand, there’s a shit ton of beef in a cow, there’s a lot less of every organ. So if people get a taste for something, it goes from “trash” to “premium” real quick.
When i was a kid kangaroo was cheap meat so that’s what we used to eat a lot of.
Then it somehow became popular and now it costs 60 cents more per kg then beef $14.60 vs $14.00
