Variety cuts? More like "lack of variety" cuts?

As I strolled by the meat department in Safeway I became aware that the displays of meat were lacking certain components. I am referring to the total absence of variety cuts and offal meats amongst the more desirable cuts. To be clear, I do not expect that a large mainstream supermarket would carry an enormous selection of said animal parts. However, I do think that it is completely fair for these large chains to carry the "friendlier" or at least the more well known variety cuts. Maybe I am mistaken, but I usually see at least baby beef liver nestled away in the corner by the stewing beef and the soup bones, but not at this particular store. I normally do not specifically look for the nasty bits at a grocery store meat counter, but this time their complete absence really stood out for some reason. It seemed to bestow the meat department with a very sterile, unwelcoming and almost austere aura. This feeling made me realize that I need to personally make more of an effort to track down and to start consuming more organ meats. I also urge you, my intelligent and good looking readers, to do the same. Someone has to eat the tongues and assholes, might as well be us.

Until next time

Let's give this another try, shall we?

Hello internet. I realize that I have not posted anything since May, but I am going to put some serious effort in trying to revitalize this pathetic sham of a blog. I could go on and on making excuses why I haven't been keeping up with my blog (like how my summer was really, extremely busy, which it was by the way) but I say, fuck it. I am going to start anew, phoenix rising out of the ashes and all that clichéd shit. As it is almost 1 in the morning, I am going to have to end this post here. But do not fret children, I WILL post tomorrow and the next day and the next day etc., until I become filthy rich and no longer feel the need to share my experiences and thoughts with the shambling masses of the world wide web.

Until next time.
