While your turkey might be delicious (no code) I have to disagree with the bolded part. Horse meat, for example, will never be good.

I think horse meat could be good braised, considering the main flaw would be it's toughness.


I remember seeing a show about a gourmet squirrel restaurant (I think it was Anthony Bourdain--guy's my hero )... proper preparation can make any meat good.

I still disagree. Good ingredients make good food. A lousy protein ruins a meal and it shouldn't be something that is worked around, rather it should be the centrepiece of a dish.

I agree that you want to start with a good meat in order to make a good dish, however, my point is that given an inferior cut, you can still make a very good dish.

For example, flank steak is one of the worst cuts of beef IMO, but properly spiced, and put on a spit, you can get a great tasting dish.

I marinated a piece of sliced flank to be put on skewers and grilled. So far, it's been the best cut to use in this recipe, IMO.

Sorry but if someone is cooking up horsemeat, I don't care what they do with it, the most they'll ever achieve is someone might say "that's good for horsemeat"...which is to say it still sucks but is barely edible.

Yeah, especially if you don't cook it a ton, that's when it turns really stiff.

Asked to choose between bacon and sex, 43 per cent of Canadians would choose...bacon!

Maple Leaf celebrates launch of new reclosable packaging with a For the Love of Bacon survey

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 3 /CNW/ - According to a recent national survey, Canadians are passionate about bacon. When asked to choose between bacon and sex, more than four in 10 (43%) chose bacon! Maple Leaf commissioned this Angus Reid For the Love of Bacon survey to mark the launch of their newest product innovation, Maple Leaf Reclosable Bacon.

"We wanted to probe how deeply rooted Canadians' passion for bacon is - and the For the Love of Bacon survey sure opened our eyes!" explained Adam Grogan, VP Marketing, Maple Leaf Foods. "Our research also told us that Canadians' number one frustration with typical bacon packaging is that it can't be reclosed (71%) and that it's too messy (52%). We know people love bacon, and now with Maple Leaf Reclosable Bacon, they'll love the package too!"

The packaging innovation should be welcomed, according to additional survey results, as nearly three out of four survey respondents (73%) said they love bacon. In fact, nearly one in five Canadian men (18%) agreed that some days, they just can't survive without bacon.

Bacon: The key to a man's heart?

Ladies, thinking about which fragrance will woo a man? Think bacon. When asked to rank various aromas by preference, 23% of men ranked bacon as number one.

And it seems bacon lovers think they are better lovers. When asked if they are good lovers, four out of five respondents (82%) who said they love bacon, also said they are good lovers. And when asked if they are romantic, four out of five respondents (81%) who said they love bacon also agreed they are romantic.

The survey also revealed some noteworthy regional differences. It may be bacon trumps love in the Prairies. Nearly one in four of respondents (23%) from Manitoba and Saskatchewan wondered if 'my partner loves bacon more than me'. Maybe a little more sizzle in the bedroom instead of the kitchen is in order...

Of note - western Canadians are especially enamoured with bacon. Of respondents from British Columbia, 50% said they would give up sex before bacon, versus 37% of respondents from Quebec.
