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
