After I posted that the package arrived we put it in the fridge and I went back to work.
Later that evening I opened up the T-bone and Rib Eye steaks, and they looked and smelled fine. I figured they had recently thawed out and were ready to go. (We did throw out the ground beef).
15 year old son tried a new steak sauce. Equal amounts of red cooking wine and honey, lots of freshly ground pepper, and several crushed garlic cloves. He served it with steamed vegetables (broccoli, bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms) with a honey wine vinegar drizzled over it. Also some wheat bread just out of the oven with lots of honey.
Turned out a very good meal. The meat was fine, glad we didn't toss it out! There were two of each type of steak, thick slices, and it fed 6 people.
If I had not bought a 1/2 a cow (with bitcoins
) a week before this thread was created, and didn't have a friend locally who I buy from, I would consider buying from andelin before purchasing from the grocery store.
Figuring out how to ship a perishable item is a tricky thing and I consider the problems of this first run not to be an issue. I think everyone can order from andelin without worrying about it being a scam.
We meant to take some pictures, but we were pretty hungry and it smelled really good once it was cooked...and we forgot to grab the camera.
No need to send a replacement shipment to us. Thanks for sharing.
thankks for being willing to try a sample. I imagine you do alot of shipping. Any thoughts on UPS anf Fed ex? I am realizing that I need dependable delivery times when I am dealing with shipping something perishable.
