I'll make MW French Fries for the girls and Brussels sprouts in some fancy northerner fashion for me and them, like split in two and almost burned on bacon fat. To gain flavor they have to be mistreated a bit, the stupid things. I have a Croz Hermitage that keeps smiling at me from the cave, i might have half a glass of it just to show to my virtue who is the boss. With the drinking I can relent a little. Not with the smoking.

You're totally right, sausage and processed meat products and especially chicken, if you buy them in cheap bulk they not only taste bad but are bad with the stuff they put in it, but if you buy it from a local butcher/farm they are much better and actually taste like meat. I'd rather have less good meat than allot of bad/cheap meat. If you've ever seen the tv show on BBC "kill it,cook it, eat it" it shows how much better the animals are treated on a farm. Rib steak is awesome never had it rare though, how is that?
Back on topic I'm eating chili with taco chips.
