Ostrich meat is not common in the Philippines. I'm sure that cost is a significant factor. It used to sell at PhP 600.00+ per kilo and only Shopwise in Libis, Quezon City, had it. It was a surprise to find ostrich meat at the Antipolo branch of Shopwise. The price had gone down too to PhP 423.75 per kilo. Not bad since there's hardly any wastage when cooking ostrich meat. No fat or bones to discard. And since ostrich meat cooks so fast, it doesn't shrink so much either...
