Meat

Lamb is much less available in Germany so I can't quote prices, but it's a step up from beef, which can be regularly €20 per kilo. This is in a normal supermarket. But you have to go to a butcher to get anything other than mince, steaks (small selection), stew, shin or maybe oxtail or liver if you are very very lucky. "Factory" pork and chicken are cheap. There's not usually a "free range" option - it's straight to organic (at about €10+/kilo for chicken IIRC).
