So I went to a Belgian Supermarket and looked at the capons

[speedy2020]

I miss the markets that we had in Germany when we lived there... so fresh! The whole culture around shopping and eating was SO different. Instead of loading up on a weeks worth or more at a time like in the US, you went everyday or every other or so, so that everything was fresh. Then you took your time with dinner, especially if you were out with friends. It was totally normal to sit for HOURS. Very different from the corporate efficiency of American chain restaurants who strive to get you in and out as quickly as possible.

We have a local market called "Jungle Jims", 2 of them now. They're MASSIVE, over 1 mile of produce in the new location. If they can bring it in from any part of the world, they do. The Kangaroo was dry, the Alpaca lacked flavor. The rattlesnake was too expensive to try. Ostrich is good. I couldn't tell a significant difference between a Capon and one of my 22 week Bresse cockerels, besides size.

When it comes to food, I'll try anything once! Unless it's a spicy challenge. Anything that sets my mouth on fire isn't food to me. Hahaha

You are dead right. Here is US, folks get upset if wait more than 1 hour for their foods at the restaurant.

I do go to the supermarket almost every day to buy food just for that day. Sometimes I get some frozen foods to have some backup for days when I can't go, but mostly I just get fresh food. It's easy because distances are small and the population density is high, which means I have several shopping options in very close distance.

you must be better off than I because I am 14.48 kilometers from the nearest grocery store ti me. I cannot afford a trip for food everyday. 1 or 2 times a week, for me usually while I do other errands.
