Yep, I understand that. Dave mentioned a meat market. There is one in
town but I've never priced their bacon. I do know if I want to buy two
ribeye steaks there it costs more than if I went to the meat counter at
the grocery store and asked them to cut a couple of steaks for me.

I like bacon, but I don't eat a lot of it. No need for me to buy really
expensive (or specially cut) bacon. That's all I'm saying.

This meat market is owned by a married couple. She's from the UK, he's
a Southern boy all the way. John and I were in there the last time he
was in town. The guy was talking up his wife's recent contribution:
freshly prepared meals from the cold case. We were tired after running
around all day so we bought one of her small cottage pies. It was so
bland! No seasoning. What, this woman never heard of Worcestershire
sauce?! I/we won't be buying any of her freshly prepared meals again.
