Queues of grey-faced office workers, all clutching the inevitable scuffed briefcases, wait meekly outside shops that offer limited supplies of costly, clumsily packaged frozen meat and fish.

Moreover, many housewives no longer will buy cheap cuts of meat, preferring to buy steaks that they can throw on the broiler rather than a 590-per-lb. portion of stew meat that needs to be cooked most of the day.
