today I bought 100g or so of ground beef, plus a whole kilo of aserrín de res, nominally "beef sawdust" from the bandsaw, but actually contains meat and fat from pork as well. in fact, what I got was probably mostly pork, because that's what the butcher was cutting before I got there. anyway, it's super cheap at about 9 pesos per kilo, so under 30 cents a pound. it has a lot of undigestible bone meal, and most people buy it for their dogs, not for human consumption. I found some scraps of plastic wrap in it as well. but I bulked up my 1/4 pound burger to over 1/2 pound with it, and it tasted pretty good. might make this a goodly part of my diet.
