Some of the beef at the butcher counter in Friendship is labeled as 'hybred'.

Can anyone shed more light on where/what the 'beef' they sell actually is?

I did ask at the counter a few times & was told 'yes, it hybred beef' so I though I ask again here

I think it is a misspelling of hybrid which is common for beef cattle.

In biology a hybrid, also known as cross breed, is the result of mixing, through sexual reproduction, two animals or plants of different breeds, varieties, species or genera

 

Brangus is one cross breed that is well known. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brangus

Sorry ubonjoe, I misspelt.

I did indeed mean hybrid but I would still like more information if anyone has it on this meat that they sell at Friendship

 

 

It would be helpful for them to tell which two species mated to produce the "hybrid," but good luck with that.  Could be buffalo and dairy cow, for all we know.

Most of the Thai pen-fed beef seem to be Charolais-Brahman hybrid

In that link it says that they sell to Tops & Villa Market with no mention of Friendship.

I'll pop down & have a quick shufti

 

 

On a related note, how much or what are we eating in Thailand, this Thai food, is GMO food?  Someone told me all corn here is GMO.    And I think more than we can imagine.  Not that I am extremely concerned as we all have tot die and we have made it this far but real information can sometimes be helpful. A bit off topic but also kind of about the same thing, thanks. 

I'm just as concerned about all the chemicals they now spray on the veggies.

I really can't see some city hall health inspector going around the markets & testing samples nor would I trust the big boys such as Tescos & C.
