Welcome to 2017! WOOOO! I hope this will be an awesome year for everyone and filled with lots of good food to eat. Speaking of food, ( duh Megan, this is a food blog after all) today I have a food haul for you guys. Thanks to my awesome in-laws (no, they didn't threaten me to say that) who gave us a gift certificate to L&M Meats.
This is a awesome store in Grand Forks, ND that has a variety of fresh and frozen meats and cheese.
So with our gift certificate in hand we headed to the store to load up. We wanted a good variety of things to try. They had everything from the usual beef and pork to the more uncommon head cheese and buffalo burgers. So we got a little of everything. The staff was very nice, helpful and very patient with us dragging a 4 year old along. The toddler was not very helpful, I'm pretty sure there was some planking on their floor at one point. However, we did get a good haul! Here's the list.￬
And............it was good! Surprisingly it taste a lot like baloney (or is it bologna?). It was very peppery and parts had a chew to it. But overall its a solid 7/10 (or maybe 2/10 from the hubby). As long as you don't have food texture issues because the "jelly" part might gross you out like it did my hubby. I think it will be great on a sandwich. As for the other foods time will tell as we test it but one things for sure, I can't wait to try all this awesomeness! See ya!

Yes that is my kitchen floor because I didn't have enough table or counter space to put it all. The pains of apartment living 😢. So far we have only tried a few items because it will definitely take us awhile to try it all. The head cheese is what I was most excited about because I've never had it and always wanted to try, plus I knew it might freak out the hubby 😈. If you don't know what head cheese is its a meat jelly made with meat from the head of a pig (or other animal) with gelatin in the stock to act as a binder.
