Thanks for checking, Jill. I still remember when you told me you
could get a whole tail at your grocery store in TN. You really made
me jealous with that one.
Ah, well, they're expensive for you too. What upsets me, is that for
the $5.49/lb, I will get little, tiny (like human finger bones) pieces
of bone with no meat, fat or connective tissue on them. I want the
tea cup size tails with lots of meat between the wings of the bones.
I've got to ask Cash and Carry if they can get some in for me. A
restaurant pack is over $50, but it is worth it. It is a little
tricky to break the pack apart into family-size amounts, but I can
manage with some of my husband's tools ;o)
