Formulating Better: Meat, Poultry & Seafood
Ingredient, formulation, consumer and market trend information for developers of processed meat, poultry and seafood products.
No one likes to squabble, especially when pork is roasting in the oven. It's incongruous. How could a sane human being piece together a thought that expresses frustration, perhaps even anger, while the scent of pepper encrusted pork nestled in a maple glaze drifts from the belly of a warm oven? One would think it impossible. It is with a quiet embarrassment that I admit, nay, it is not impossible.
My childhood friend and current neighbor Sherwood Day presented himself on my doorstep evening last, and pleaded with me for a word. A word from Sherwood Day quickly becomes a novella, one that bores, one that keeps me sipping ginger ale until my bladder aches. It was in the midst of one of his wandering tales that I stood and shouted...
— You must take a cue! I have had enough!
But Sherwood, in his ever persistent manner, smiled and indicated with a nod that the pork should probably be checked. And so I opened the oven, the smell of the rich protein washing over my face. Sherwood continued his tiresome speech and I said to myself these words: I will not become incensed. This tenderloin will not allow it.
And there, even though I had allowed a quick snipe, I was calmed by pork. It could be said that my relationship with Sherwood Day had been saved, at least temporarily. Whether that is a good thing or not is left to question.
Enough!
