Over here meat is priced by the kg, but I usually buy it by the gram.
One thing about NZ though, the meat us fucking expensive. Especially for a country that is a major meat producer. And the meat you get in the supermarkets isn't even the export quality cuts, but it may as well be. You know, Beccs ... I often buy lamb from New Zealand in the UK ... and I must admit that it's so delicious, especially according to my recipe

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."

Let me see... off the top of my mind, one can find:
100g fillets
150g fillets
200g steaks
400g steaks
And that's it for individual doses, I think...
Of course, there are shops specialized in serving meat, called butcher shops, where you can ask for your meat to be cut anyway you want.

And I bet you pay less, comparatively, than I do for a lower quality meat.

Spent the afternoon in a training course at work. When I got home I spent about an hour memorizing some music (about 10 bars' worth) for a gig this Saturday.
We got rained on late this afternoon, so no yard work today.

Stories like this always remind me why I'm never having kids.
