OT: Where's the beef? In a freezer, probably

I started a thread last Sunday moaning about the fact that the local supermarkets no longer got sides of beef and that I couldn't get flat bone sirloin steaks. Lots of interesting comments, thanks.On Monday I was browsing the web page of Publix, one of the larger local markets. Lots of great looking photos of steaks and roasts, lots of trumpeting about the meat quality, lots of promises of consumer satisfaction. Also, a "contact us" link. So I did and asked how come I couldn't get sirloin.Yesterday, the local manager called me. He said they hadn't had sirloin since 2007 - *2007??* - but that they would start bringing it in again. *VICTORY!!* :)I explained that I had no immediate need/desire for it but he assured me it would keep and would be waiting for me when I did. I get the feeling that I will be eating off the same chunk of deep frozen beef for some years to come.
