#2 President Donald Trump last month ordered meat processing plants across the US to remain open to protect the nation's food supply

I guess the greedy b@stards can always claim he never specified which nation.

#4 Well, on the positive side, at least now we can expect some public outrage over working conditions in these places.

#5 For the first time, Mr. Wife yesterday said our local Kroger grocery — here in Cincinnati, where Kroger is headquartered — lacked frozen chicken breast strips and cubes. But he brought home the six pounds of ground beef I requested for making chili, a variety of frozen meals, and said there was no shortage of cold cuts. But unlike China, pork is not a key ingredient in my house.

#8 Well since Smithfield is owned outright by the CCP, how is this surprising?

#9 It's nothing a few export controls couldn't fix.

#11 Had no trouble getting boneless skinless chicken breasts last week. Cut down 3 lbs into mini cutlets and grilled, made Italian pulled chicken with the other 3 lb.

#12 Italian pulled chicken

For a second there I thought that was a reference to Fredo Cuomo's self-isolating pastime

#15  that the Cincinnati Chili TW?

No — Cincinnati chili is readily available all over town, swksvolFF. I do have a recipe, in case we should move away again, but these days I make a tarted up version of my darling mother-in-law’s chili con carne. I posted the recipe in the O Club, in case you want to compare notes. :-)

#16 Love to see it. Never had the Cincinnati, so a bit curious.

#17 My Mother made spaghetti with chili, cheese, and onion for us back in the 50's and 60's. We didn't know it was Cincinnati Chili. Sh was from Oklahoma.

#18 I'll eat any kind of chili, but Texas chili - meat, onions, peppers, nothing else is my fave

#19 I am told by reliable sources that only Yankees and carpetbaggers put beans in their chili.
