Ask for 'Carne Picada Especial' if you want the lower fat mince.

I'm veggie but when i buy carne picada to make beefburgers for my husband I'll go to a local butchers, select half a kilo of lomo, ask him to chop any excess fat off and then put it through the grinder. As far as I can tell (from cooking it), its the same as the "lean steak mince" I'd buy in the UK..

CarverFan said:Well we don't live in an expat barrio and even the picada especial is pretty dire, worse than what you would get in UK. There is no chain supermarket here so we buy from the chinese supermarkets, maybe controls are lower. Prices are worse than at Disco, was charged 14 a kilo for whole chicken (the same quality that is 6 a kilo at Disco)...
