General Discussion

Beef, veal and pork have been my taboo list since 2004, or else my cardiologist will disown me. I’m told that the red meat lowest in cholesterol is bison, but you don’t see that on Cape Cod anyway. But we rent a house, and my wife is a gourmet chef, so we usually just shop at the several fish shops that are supplied by local boats that come in to sell their catch, and cook it up fresh every day. Fish is expensive, too, but it has remained within reason for the last couple of years. Even Lobster meat came down from a high of $70 per pound (!!!!) to a still-ridiculous $55.

Even last year fruit and veggies danced all over the place. Fresh corn was anywhere between 4 for a dollar to a dollar each. Fruit from California was insane, but we expect that by now. We’ll probably stock up again at the farmers market in downtown Boston, since $75 spent there will get you about $250 worth of fruit and veggies at Cape prices.
