I got the meat back last Sunday from B&E Meats and had some of the hot italian sausage last night. It was amazing.
I called B&E a few days after my post and they told me that they found a little bad meat but just worked around it.
Also, I had heard about the vinegar trick before but had never tried it. I did try it on this one but I still wasn't sure how much it would help.
Thanks again.
