I remember when I first moved to Richmond, and how impossible it was to even find soup/stew meat, never mind bones! I asked one of the butchers at the big local chain (the "prestige" market) for stew meat and he gave me a package of meat cut up so small you could have made chili with it. Of course, this is also the same local chain that refuses to identify ground beef by anything other than fat percentages...it's like they never heard of ground round, or anything like it...I don't buy meat at that store now. There's another chain (Kroger) that actually knows how to cut beef into useful sizes for soup or stew.........and where you can buy ground chuck, ground round, etc. I've never lived anywhere where it was so difficult to find bones..and when I do find them, they aren't cheap!!!!
