Consistency

A while ago Rodney and I visited the Berkshire Brewing Company in central Massachusetts. They make delicious microbrewed ales and lagers. If you see any of their beers in your local store, I suggest you buy them.

The brewer leading the tour talked at length about how they will likely never can or bottle in 12oz bottles because Anheuser-Busch and Miller have those markets locked-up. Berkshire Brewing only sells in a small area and they only sell 22oz bottles and two sizes of kegs. While our brewer/tour guide didn't have great things to say about Bud as a beer, he had nothing but admiration for the worldwide consistency of Bud's products.

All that is a long way of saying that it's nice to able to have a small taste of home when you're far away. We had McDonald's for lunch today. It was delicious and it tasted exactly the same as it does everywhere.

  1. Ed your food pics are good enough for a magazine. I am not jealous about McDonalds but I will not pass judgement. Needs must when in a far flung foreign land. I do have food envy otherwise. Even the testicles look tasty. You are so balls up with your food choices, such big cojones. Tee Hee. Btw, I tried to make gnudi like The Spotted Pig. Yeah right Burgie. Valiant attempt. Attempt failed.
