I seem to have food on my mind a lot these days....

Just this morning, walking back with the fresh produce, I was thinking that I really needed to make the acquaintence of the local kosher butchers in the area. In New Haven I bought most of my good meats at the halal butcher or direct from the local farmers, and going back to supermarket meats was not pleasing.

I just got a reminder of why:

CNN Breaking News -- 143 million pounds of beef is being recalled by a Calif. slaughterhouse being investigated for mistreating cattle.

*sigh*

Yes, I adore foie gras, and I am willing to spend extra money to buy meat I can trust was slaughtered humanely. I'm an ethical work in progress...

I'd have to say that if I didn't like beef so much, watching the video would probably have turned me off of eating it.

I'm with you though- I'll gladly pay extra for meat I knew was treated and slaughtered humanely.

Except the Foie Gras- can't get past the fact that no matter how it's prepared, it's still *liver*

Yuck.}:P

If there isn't a kosher butchers right over there, there's one here next to the fruit and veggie place across from CVS. It's a tiny place, and easy to miss.

Good for you! I just attempt to be completely vegie since we don't have one... but I fail more than I'd like... If I didn't make such good tacos maybe I could stay on the straight and narrow.
