Turkey Beer Brats UPDATE

Here is the nutrition information off from Jennie-O's website:

Nutrition (per serving)

Calories 120 Calories From Fat 80 Total Fat 9.0 g Saturated Fat 2.0 g Trans Fat.0 g

Note that these Brats are still 2/3rds (66%) fat. I thought I'd check them out because Jennie-O does sell some healthy turkey products, most which our labelled "EXTRA LEAN."

Of course, the claim that they are 50% less fat than pork bratwurst, to me would have to mean that that pork bratwursts are 133% fat. Now I know they may be 90+ % fat, but could someone please explain to me how something that has 50% of the fat content of something else can still be 66+ % fat? I'll copy this to Jennie-O also, and I'm anxious to see who is the first person who can explain this kind of math to me!

Turkey Beer Brats

If you can't manage a whole turkey, but still want some beer and turkey for Thanksgiving, Jennie-O makes a "Fully Cooked Turkey Beer Bratwurst." They're made with Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat Beer.

According to the website, Jennie-O Turkey Store, their "fully-cooked turkey bratwursts are the only fully-cooked brats available that are made with 100 percent turkey meat. Our Turkey Beer Bratwursts are ready to heat and serve in minutes, and with 50 percent less fat than USDA data for cooked pork bratwurst, they are easy on your waistline."

If you enjoyed this post or the Bulletin generally, please consider buying me a pint

Just finished this one, I've read some short stories but this is the first full-length I've read by this author. While I was reading this, news came out that he has collaborated with Ken Bruen on a new book TOWER to come out next year - I can't wait! I also finished Bruen's ONCE WERE COPS a week or so ago and that one was as brilliant as ever!

MASTER OF ALL MAGIC MAN

Here he is,
The Master of All Magic Man
Opening boxes….

Flying through the darkest hour
Drinking whiskey

Underneath the blindman spotlight
Crystal clear is what I hear
Focussing down on all there is
And that is where….

I retire in the distant midnight.

Finally got around to reading this - my only regret is I wish I hadn't seen the movie first. I haven't seen the new one yet. Looking more forward to the next book then the new movie but I hope I am pleasantly surprised when I get around to seeing the new movie. Low expectations can sometimes do that.....
