buying fresh meat?

Have now booked to stay for 6 weeks for Xmas and New Year flying with Kingfisher again, yippee!!

We are self-catering and can%26#39;t afford to eat out every night, does anyone know where we can buy fresh european-style meat from in either Candolim or Calungute please?

Chicken - Royal Foods - top of Calangute High Street then turn right onto the Candolim road and it is a few metres down the road on the right hand side. Just ask, everyone knows where it is. The chickens are very small here, don%26#39;t expect Sainsburys sized ones. You can buy legs, breasts and whole chickens. Eggs and bread from the same shop.

Buying beef in Calangute is difficult (in my opinion)it is sold from open shops and to be honest I can%26#39;t stand the smell of it. (yes ok I am veggie but my OH is not and I have always cooked meat for him)

We buy beef from Ajay%26#39;s shop in Mapusa, good butchers above an English type store and the meat is very clean.

Fish from Calangute market - be careful with the prices as we get charged ';skin tax'; if they can get away with it. Watch what the locals pay and offer the same.

Veggies better from Mapusa but Calangute ok, just a couple of rupees more and the quality not quite as fresh. Get to know the people who run the stall then you will pay the correct price.

Never looked for meat in newtons supermarket in candolim but they sell a lot of other things that you might want it is worth a look but if you can buy it outside it may be cheaper.

Sorry can%26#39;t look at your youtube, with the speed of the internet here it would take all night to download it. Will look when back in UK.

Yes you can buy meat in Calangute market but shall I say they it is not the most hygienic of places to buy meat.

Nobody I know buys it from there almost everyone goes to Mapusa to shop No 9 or Ajays.

Havn%26#39;t shopped in Newtons but did go in to have a look and noticed lots of fridges and freezers across the back wall, don%26#39;t know what is in them though.

By the way the ready cooked chicken tikka pieces in Royal Foods are good - nice in one of their garlic french sticks - OH quite often has it for lunch.

A couple of shops away from Royal Food is a take away (or sit outside) English food place that always seems to have people sitting eating there. Prices look good too.
