Possible... :) You might want to try to sell him some Lebanon bologna....? (G)Not sure what it's made of... I thought there was at least some beef in it... and I'm thinking it's more of a sausage than your typical bologna
Odds are it wouldn't survive the trip, and if it's made with pork wouldn't be edible even if it did.
as well... But I suppose that is less likely of a choice for the collection... ;)
I forget what's all in it. It's a bit of a sour sausage, closer to
summer sausage than a bologna.
That, too... :)It's the way the game is played....Their buddies....? and maybe some softhearted souls.... ;)
It does make me wonder who'd sign a petition for a jailbird....
Or softheaded ones?
Or given the way CT politics often works, someone who's been paid off
in one form or another.

At least it's beef. Pork sausage to the Middle East is begging for trouble.

A local deli owned by a Turkish guy serves Kosher-style food, oddly,
but doesn't have either beef or pork on the menu as far as I know.
They do have a gyro on the menu, but I've never ordered one.

Always something.... I'm all over achy after a week with extended
