A Trip To The Pork Store

When I was a child, we used to go to a butcher shop near my grandparents house. Kids always got a slice of bologna from the person behind the counter to snack on and I remember it being so rich and full of flavor.

While this is not about gardening, it does fit in with the general idea of the farmers market and eating food from close to home and is also along the lines of how we forget how things should be when they change slowly over time.

I came across an ad for http://www.schwindsporkstore.com/ in the local town paper, decided to check it out and was well rewarded for it. The bologna was exactly like the kind I remember from being a child. It was so rich and full of flavor and with an aroma that filled the car. We made sandwiches on rolls that we got from the Italian bakery and could not believe the amazing sandwiches we were eating. They also had some really great landjager; another treat I remember from that same childhood butcher shop. We'll be back again soon to check out some of their other items.

No more tasteless pink plastic from the supermarket for me anymore!

Everyone probably has a place like this near their home and all it takes to find it is to remember that everything didn't always come in a vacuum sealed pack.
