Things You Don't See in America: Part 11

I thought you might like to see this butcher shop we walked past last week.


I have to admit, I do not buy meat from a butcher shop like this... Meat hanging in the open air worries me. I buy meat from our local market, wrapped in plastic, on a Styrofoam plate. While I realize it may come from a butcher shop that looks like the picture, at least I don't see it happen.

The only thing that gets me is that sometimes, when I ask for ground beef, the man behind the counter reaches in and retrieves it with his bare hands. I just hope they have been washed lately and am grateful that I'm going to cook it before I eat it.
