Bone vs Boneless 晤骨不歡

In England, it is difficult to buy meat and seafood with bone. Boneless labelled on almost packages with extreme higher price comparing with Hong Kong's. After eight years in this country, finally I realise that British or Westerns don't eat boned meat and seafood. I started my research for this subject. I found the reason of the price impact. According to Finance Times, most Scotland seafood is routinely sent to Asia countries like China, Philippine, Thailand, and so on for proceeding boneless treatment. After all bone removed, then those seafood will be sent back to England. This is why the price is extreme higher.

For example,

200g prawn will cost
£0.98 with shell on, but without shell prawn £1.98 but same gram with boned on will cost 10 to 20p (HKD2-3) in HK.

One ordinary crab, properly 100g,
without bone will cost £2.99 to 4.99, but with bone can cost £1.99 to £2.50 comparing with HK's, it just costs HKD20 (£1.2).

One packed pork meat with 500 g weight,
boneless pork will cost £3.99, with bone will cost £2.50. In HK boned pork will cost HKD30 (£1.99)
and so on

I don't like boneless food, as it is tasteless when I having it. Based on scientific study, eating boned meat can help mouth bone and musical exercise. also good for becoming a vegetarian in this country, as the boneless meat will let me not to fancy any meat even my favourite seafood at all.

Now, as long as more Asian immigration come to this country, many supermarkets start to sell boned meat and seafood. Sometimes, I am quite excited in finding them, like pork joint with bone, it will be good for cooking pork soup. also shell on crab and prawn can let me cook better. My husband loves meat. When I use boned meat to cook, almost, he will have the whole meat and I will have the rest bone. So, if you want a healthier life style, it is better to live in West country like UK.
