What do you think constituted as meat in the Attack on Titan universe/ do you think cheap cuts such as flank or offal or perhaps even poultry was in the soups?

i know like nothing about cuts of meat or their value but

steak has to be the most rare and pricey, no matter the cut right? like not even the upper middle class can afford it. cultivating cattle takes up a lot of land that post-fall of wall maria isn’t available, plus the need for milk.

the majority of civilians most including survey corps soldiers would probably rely on local farms and businesses for access to meat. but the survey corps is mostly unpopular so the regiment who needs a balanced diet the most doesn’t even get that. i’m talking duck, rabbit, squirrel, boars, venison. but even cheap cuts of meat are very expensive. nothing is everrrr wasted. all that considered, living off the land or working on farms is probably your best bet.

chicken and pig also take up farmland but to a lesser degree? eggs would be considered an important part of anyone’s diet which makes chicken more expensive. EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE.

so you would have most meat going in soups or stew for those who can afford it, and those in poverty would likely see next to no meat at all. other sources of protein would be cultivated a ton.

this is most especially true of the underground. most of the meat is dried to preserve its freshness but even then there’s so little to go around that there’s no meat sold there at all. only the garbage of wall sina makes its way there.

most anything then would be considered a source of meat. yes.
