I eat very little at a meal and Jerry has cut back on his portions so we would get a couple of meals plus leftovers for lunch. Maybe for a Christmas gift to each other I'll buy steak....the good kind!Elva Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051805987335537961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-81054086585593083742019-12-22T05:08:47.484-08:002019-12-22T05:08:47.484-08:00You are exactly right.

Grades B and C poultry are usually used in further-processed products where the poultry meat is cut up, chopped, or ground. <br /><br />About Chickens. Arkansas is a huge chicken producer, being the home of Tyson and all. We had two plants in town which processed chickens. They are hauled on trucks in cages, which sometimes allow a stray bird to escape and it wanders along the highway and roads eating and pooping. There are fryers (broilers), and layers. The fryers only live for 35-50 days, while the layers live for a year or more. Even the layers are eventually killed for eating purposes, and they are much, much larger than the average chicken fryer. My guess is that the chickens roasted at Sams and Costco are laying chickens.Dave Burdick (GoingRvWay.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10706797381982584920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-72080051516547860642019-12-21T08:44:58.890-08:002019-12-21T08:44:58.890-08:00USDA has an interesting website about inspection a...USDA has an interesting website about inspection and grading. <br />It doesn't mention the current administration's policy of allowing pork producers to inspect themselves.<br /><br />https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/production-and-inspection/inspection-and-grading-of-meat-and-poultry-what-are-the-differences_/inspection-and-grading-differences<br /><br />Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818111637898313184.post-65887801959832109662019-12-21T06:09:09.350-08:002019-12-21T06:09:09.350-08:00That is a lot of apple pie!

The sauce on top doesn't turn out the same but the meatloaf is yummy. :)Patsy Irene (Chillin' with Patsy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023685247825134744noreply@blogger.com
