13 Things Your Butcher Won't Tell You
From Reader's Digest

1. Don’t be fooled by supermarket brand names like Butcher’s Brand, Rancher’s Reserve, and Blue Ribbon. The label to look for is USDA Quality Grade. Prime is the best (and most expensive), followed by choice, select, then standard.
2. A big part of our job is window dressing. We flip brown meat over, cut off fat, and dab away blood that might turn you off.
3. Your beef may get ground in Iowa, stuffed in a long tube of plastic, and trucked to our store, where we regrind and package it.
4. Some companies pump carbon monoxide into packaging to keep the meat from turning brown.
5. Make sure you check the price per pound or per serving. The regular size is often cheaper than the family pack.
6. Why are you so wedded to the cut of beef your recipe calls for? We can suggest cheaper options.
7. My favorite cut? The hanging tender. Also known as a hanger steak or a bistro steak, it’s got great flavor at a good price.
8. Take the meat tray at the bottom of the stack or the farthest in back. Just like milk, it tends to be fresher.
9. Save $1.50 to $2 a pound on boneless pork chops. Buy a whole boneless pork loin roast and slice it into chops an inch thick.
10. Yes, that 92/8 ground beef is lean, but if you make burgers with it, you might be disappointed. Your favorite burger joint probably uses beef that’s much fattier.
11. Even if those chicken breasts say “100 percent natural,” they may still be injected with sodium-laden broth, salt water, or seaweed extract. Always check the label.
12. Some of the best tasting cuts are the ugliest ones, like the flap meat on the belly part of beef.
13. Ask me to help. Even if it’s already on a tray wrapped in cellophane, I can cut the fat off a roast, trim a flank steak into stir-fry strips, or grind up a chuck roast. Then I’ll neatly wrap it back up for you. All for no extra charge.

An Unnecessary Confrontation

Click to enlarge
OK so this just happened to me on a quick trip to the corner store. I saw this big ugly bald guy beginning to walk across the street from a set of apartments -- toward the same store I was driving to. He had basically just stepped down onto the road from the ramp that leads up into the parking area for the apartments. I knew I had plenty of time to continue on, without causing him to fear being hit, but I slowed down and made sure he was gonna allow me to do so.
So I park on the side of the store like always. Being the nonconfrontationalist that I am, I waited for him to pass my door before getting out. He proceeds to turn around, and this is the dialogue that ensued:
Him: Good thing I wasn't in your way there dude.. (sarcastically)
Me: Nah..
Him: Oh I wasn't huh? (more sarcasm)
Me: I wasn't gonna hit you.
Him: So much for pedestrians having the right of way.
Me: You mean when you were jay-walking across the street in a dark shirt at night?
Him: Jay walking, my ass..
Me: There's no crosswalk right there - What do you expect me to do, stop right there in the middle of the street?
Him: For a pedestrian, yeah I do!
Me: I was just turning left, and I had plenty of time, Jesus Christ..
Him: Don't bring him into it, he didn't do anything wrong.
Me: Neither did I.
We were already inside the store at this point, and the clerk and another guy were looking at both of us as if there was about to be a gun fight.
I waited in line behind him.. He made his purchase, and turned around and glared at me like a serial killer on his way by.
I was like, "Did that really just happen for no necessary reason whatsoever???"
