11 best meat boxes (Rex Features)

Post-horsemeat scandal, it’s hardly surprising that there has been a growth in people buying their meat from producers with a short, transparent supply chain.

But the rise in sales of meat boxes is for other reasons too. People who buy into the organic ethos are finding it harder to get what they want in supermarkets, for example, because many have stripped back their organic lines since the recession started.

Then there’s the fact that meat boxes are convenient. Increasingly available online, people are potentially one click away from feeding their whole family for a month.

The taste is significant too. Most budget supermarket cuts of meat aren’t a patch on this tasty, succulent meat.

The specialist options are a draw to some people too. Indeed, our round-up includes options for slow cooking right through to wannabe bodybuilders.
