A good neighbourhood butcher stands or falls on price and consistency. The same cut can vary by several dollars a kilo between shops a few streets apart, so regulars compare staples like silverside and bacon hock before committing. Butchers are also a quiet boon to dog owners: hearts, liver and meaty bones cost a fraction of packaged pet food, and many shops keep a steady supply for exactly this. When buying for the table, ask when a cut was sliced and swap anything that looks past its best.
For Onehunga households, human and hound, Meat World on Waiapu Lane is part of the suburb's butcher line-up.
