Okay, I am going to ask, not sure if I want to know or not. What is Mutton? Also, what are "game meats", and what are "game birds"? And offal? /me is in shock that people eat kidneys, livers, and hearts! And what is beef mince and gammon joint?

I am not entirely sure I want to know the answers . . .

Anyway, looking at the adds from Tops and Giant Eagle (our two big grocery stores here in Cleveland) . . . Tops tends to be cheaper, so I will go with them.

You know, I just realized, I've never thought of fish as meat. Maybe it's because growing up Catholic, on days we were't allowed to eat meat (Fridays during Lent and Ash Wednesday), we were allowed to eat fish. Heck, my church makes tons of money each year with their Friday Fish Fry! That's strange because when I really think of it, fish are animals with little eyes and . . . awww . . . now that I think about it, I really don't want to eat fish any more!
