European style butcher in Cairo?

Why don't you try Carrefour? The butchers there can cut the meat any way you want it. You just have to ask them if you can't find what you want already cut there.

When and where exactly is this BBQ going to be? I'll have to check my schedule! ;)

Edit:

I hope you won't fool us and give us meat from this other source of yours! hehehehehe!

Cairo is among the world's good megacities. As beautiful since it is mad, and as abundant with historical finery as it is half dilapidated, Cairo is often a town that travellers enjoy and hate in equal methods therefore discover by which group you will be with the help of that place hotelbye . In Cairo you will find, beyond the present day hubbub, a record that spans centuries. Filled with vigour, Cairo is where you truly get a feel for Egyptian block life and number trip to Egypt is total with out a remain in the city Arabs call Umm al-Dunya (The Mother of the World). The absolutely staggering assortment of antiquities exhibited in Cairo's Egyptian Museum causes it to be one of the world's great museums and definitely a place for everyone's to visit.

There is one in Hadaba - it is a Pork Butchers but he does all different cuts of meat, bit expensive but you can choose what you want and he will cut to any shape or size you require. A friend uses him all the time, he will make up a tray of mixed barbeque meats for you and he delivers.

So where and when is this taking place. Ha Ha!

Well you know now where to go, may I suggest the cuts? entercote, fillet, bait el kalawy, why not tarb? I would avoid T bone steak, they weigh much and I can tell that many are getting ready for the feast. Also lamb chops, they do not weigh much. Beit el kalawy is T bone steak but veal meat so it is tender and smaller. In such feasts people want to try different cuts, they feel bored with one large piece. Why not kofta? marinate it in onion juice, little salt so that it does not lose its juices, pepper and little cinnamon. It is not the first of April, are you ready to fulfill your commitment?

don't forget the size difference between our cows and theirs.

i m telling you that because it will differ in grilling time.

I bought this book called "How to Grill" and it's a great book, anyway, when i want a special cut i bring the pic of the cut to the butcher, and believe me, they know better than you think, he will probably get you exactly what you want.

if you don't have illustrations, go to the internet and search (in image) for meat cuts..You will be satisfied..

and thanks for the invitation..

The one thing i didn't find here, and i think it would make a significant difference is the woods, you know hickory smoke or apple, if you know where to find i d be appreciative.

Metro, Spinneys, Carrefour

Beside Metro, carfour and Alpha. There is Zamalek butchery which is well known and expensive one.

As long as I'm invited I will then recommend you [El Sobky] Tahrir str. - Doqqi
