What Do People Say About Darcy’s Meat Market?
One of our customers kindly sent this to us and we wanted to share it with you!
Hi, D’Arcy’s,
Finding out that my daughter has a serious sensitivity to gluten was the beginning of my education into eating gluten free. Since then, every time I want to prepare a meal that includes foods my daughter can eat, I have to ask myself: Where can I find gluten free products in Edmonton?
The other day I wanted to make ‘Smoky Country-Style BBQ Pork Ribs in the Slow Cooker’ from the Year of Slow Cooking web site, which features lots of gluten free recipes.
I headed to your shop, D’Arcy’s Meat Market in St. Albert, for the 3.5 lbs. of pork baby back ribs that the recipe called for. I always feel comfortable asking your friendly clerks for help when I’m not sure about a cut of meat or about how much to buy to have enough when the whole family comes over. Today, my question was about whether 3.5 lbs would feed 5 adults and 3 children.
While I was there, I discovered that D’Arcy’s carries some gluten free products. “Bonus!” I thought. A great place for meat near Edmonton – and they carry gluten free items.
While the clerk was packaging my pork ribs, I checked out the display of House of Q BBQ sauces – and found that House of Q is gluten free. You probably already know that these products are gluten free, but lots of people with gluten sensitivities like to check these things for themselves. “Double bonus!” House of Q has product sheets that list all of the ingredients. Hmmm…. Should I try the Apple Butter BBQ sauce or the Sugar and Spice BBQ sauce next time?
Thanks!

Chilly means Chili and Chilli
There are conflicting stories about the origin of chili con carne, more commonly known as chili. Although most sources agree it hailed from the southwest United States in the late 19th century, it is proudly considered to have Texan roots. Chili’s interesting history includes stories of traveling cowboys using it as a staple on the long trails crossing the country. The need for hot food while traveling saw trail cooks invent a type of stew that contained pounded dried beef, fat, pepper, salt and chili peppers mixed together into rectangles that could be easily rehydrated with boiling water. This came to be known as “brick chili”. Some say that trail cooks protectively planted in mesquite patches, pepper seeds, oregano and onions that could be used on future trail drives.
Slow-Cooking: Simple to Make, Complex Flavors, Endless Variety
Staying warm throughout the winter season is easy with slow-cooked meals. Simple recipes provide delicious dinner ideas that can be ready to serve by the time you get home from work. All you need is your slow cooker and a quick stop at D’Arcy’s Meat Market.
Your slow-cooked dinner starts with any kind of meat or poultry cooked in a delicious sauce. Choose from chicken, beef or pork roasts and ribs; anything that you want falling apart, tender, juicy and infused with flavor.
Flavors come from marinating and can be done using any sort of dressing or sauce. Italian dressing is commonly used with wild meat such as deer and moose. Teriyaki sauce, Jamaican jerk or Tandoori are all very rich
