I grew up eating those commodity foods. Some of that stuff was really good quality and probably came manufactured more directly from the farmer.

I think that there is a growers market somewhere in the ABQ area on every day of the week, not sure, i usually hit los ranchos and/or corrales, they're in my 'hood. A lot of deception goes into selling a brand, many perveyors of whatever product are in the business of selling deception, they trick your eyes and trust to get you to part w/ your loot, that's why small local producers like me are growing, it's all about the quality of the idea that becomes a product, that eventually becomes a system to deliver a superior product w/out the glitz. Take for example the awesome local raw honey available @ the growers markets, no fancy labelling, no slick sales, just a super high quality product, made w/ a lot of care and forethought about the product.

Go to Kellers or Vitamin Cottage for meats.

Keller's, Keller's, Keller's. Best meat. Turkey green chile sausage (the stuff they serve at Flying Star) Yum.

Those are probably weevils, not maggots. Maggots require decaying flesh to thrive.

Well, this is probably taken care of by now, but from Shannon's description of them spinning webs, I vote weevils. Maggots don't spin webs, but weevils have some kind of webbing that I have noticed anytime they've invaded drygoods I've had. Also, this cracks me up: the horror that a store would CUT MOLD OFF OF CHEESE. Oh my God. I cannot BELIEVE they are cutting mold off cheese and using the good part in their deli products. People. You DO realize that cheese is made by spoiling milk, right? How 'bout those blue veins in roquefort or gorgonzola. You DO know what that is, right? Well, if you don't, maybe I won't ruin your day by telling you...

Remember: Weevils wobble but they don't fall down. Har.

Yeah, well, I don't want to be part of the miscreant who ate 1/3 of the tub of babaganoush I bought Saturday at Whole Foods. So very disappointing to buy muttable to find someone has already dined on it.

Just goes to show me: I shall not buy prepared what I can make better myself. I will repeat this as a mantra.
