I know you keep saying this, Sheldon, and have for years. Perhaps a lot
of
people don't know they can select a cut or cuts of meat and ask the
butcher
at the stupidmarket to grind it for them. That's what I do. Doesn't cost
me a penny extra. I simply don't have storage space for a grinder. If
the
butcher can do it for me right there in the store, why would I buy one?


E. coli fears trigger large recall of ground beef

By MarketWatch
Last Update: 2:33 AM ET Sep 30, 2007
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - Topps Meat Co. said Saturday it expanded a
recall announced last week to include 21.7 million pounds of ground
beef that may be contaminated with a potentially fatal strain of E.
coli bacteria.
The meat products involved carry a variety of Topps's brand names --
including Butcher's Best and Sand Castle Fine Meat -- and have "best
if used by" dates between Sept. 25, 2007, and Sept. 25, 2008.

Whoa, that's quite a wide range of "used by" dates. Are they talking
about
frozen ground beef? I've never heard of this brand. Must be a regional
thing...

Probably stocked in a frozen section you don't look at often. Neither do I.

Eeew, frozen patties. No thanks. I can see the attraction if you've
got a lot of people to feed, I suppose...
