Does anyone know what a comparable cut of meat is here to an American standing rib roast or prime rib.  I’m thinking its a lomo alto but not sure…I asked a butcher here if they can get me a primal with the rib bones still in and he looked at me like I was insane.  Has anyone tried to get some NY Strip Steaks here, Entrecot seems to be part of a ribeye in texture and flavor.

This is actually a good question. I’ve had this issue before too (especially at Thanksgiving with the pavo situation).

Any carne experts?

What is your Pavo Situation?

I’ve seen whole turkeys (albeit fairly anemic ones) at the Carrefour of all places around Xmas.  I’m going to attempt to order a whole one for Thanksgiving from a local butcher.  That should be fun.
