Hamburger Meat

[doctoro]

You can shop the big stores in Mobay or Mega Mart, but if you plan on buying meat bring one of those hot/cold bags to store it in. As far as beef for burgers even, the minced meat in Hilo makes a pretty good burger especially if you have not had one for a while, I ususally get regular mince, but the other day I tried the ground round, and it actually had a better flavor than the regular. You could also get chuck or any other beef roast and request that they grind it for you. Hilo also has a minced chicken that does pretty good alone or in a dish, I've used it for meatloaf, spagetti, pizza, etc.after being here for two weeks it all tastes good.And me, I have never been desperate enough to eat at a BK in the states or here.

HiLo sometimes has a lot of hard to find staples from home. After all most things are imported. Also if you eat chicken the butcher shop across from the fire station is much more economical than HiLo, and they do good bussiness so a great turnover of products. They also have beef,pork, fish, all sold in bulk or pounds, note the fish is frozen however, not fresh. For fresh fish try the Fisherman's beach in back of the Craft Market, down near BK
