We were shopping in the supermarket yesterday and needed to buy meat. We usually get some pre-packed pork fillet, but there wasn't a piece that we liked the look of (too much fat), so we got the butcher to bag up a piece that was lying on the chopping board. It was nice to watch him putting the meat in the bag with his bare hands, as he smoked a cigarette...
As an aside: it's not uncommon to see tables in the small towns/villages here with raw meat sitting on them for sale. At least it's freshly slaughtered, I suppose, but no refrigeration, no hygiene, no protection from flies. So in fact, the meat in the supermarket is relatively clean. I hope.
