Horrible meat purchase from the Food Lion, Main Street location, Fuquay-Varina, NC
This review is is regarding a meat purchase at the Food Lion store, located at 1338 N Main St, Fuquay Varina, NC. Around a week before Christmas, my wife purchased a 3+ lb brisket meat from this location, because we were planning on having this on Christmas day, especially since some close friends were coming over that day. It should be noted that my wife is a gourmet cook and she got up early to ensure that the brisket was cooked to perfection, along with the preparation for all the other meal items. Well, when it came time to finish the meat, she (and all of us) were beyond flabbergasted to experience a rubbery, tough textured meat, with no taste whatsoever. How could this be? Well, it was apparently a very bad cut of meat, labeled as brisket. It was so rubbery, that it immediately ruined the festive mood. We didn't have any backup, so everybody had to become a vegetarian on Christmas Day. Most of our meat purchases in the past have been from Harris Teeter or Lowes, and we've never had issues such as this with any of their meat selections. My wife (and I agree) said she will never purchase meats again from Food Lion - it was that horrible - perhaps one of the worst pieces of meat we've ever had. So buyer beware - that was almost a $30 waste of money for us - bummer.
