Aren't the sausage skins a bit 'suspect'. Aren't they made from something 'internal'? :-?

I don't know if it is the same over NZ, but I've found beef really cheap. In fact, it is cheaper to give beef schnitzel (thin slices of beef) to my kids than decent bacon for breakfast. Beef steak and stir fry is also cheap and we have a meal for under $10. Pork, lamb and chicken is usually more expensive and I usually buy when reduced to get that meal for under $10. Funnily enough, you can get a hot cooked chicken for under $10 so I have rarely bought an uncooked chicken.

We like sausages too - especially pork and pineapple - but don't really feel too happy now eating them, pies too. Then again, maybe our perception of 'meat' has become too fussy ... our hungry ancestors wouldn't hesitate to eat all manners of body parts. :-/
