BEEF

Beef is back in Taiwan. That's right. No more grass-fed Kiwi cow carcasses. According to Grand Poobah for Life, Jack McDowell, as of Thursday, March 31, American beef will reenter the Taiwan market. Now, don't go sharpening your knives just quite yet. He informed me that Tesco and Costco will have it but didn't mention about other places. I assume others will as well. Also, the China Post reported that this does not include live animals or bone-in meat. I vaguely remember him saying that this was incorrect, but maybe It's just me that's incorrect.

Other good news for those who still have time left on their sentences. Taichung will break ground on a Costco around October. Not Costko, Fakeco, 101 or any of that other nonsense. The real deal Costco. No longer will we have to wait 2-3 hours as we motor north or south to spend our money. Instead we will merely have to wait until about May of 2006.

Just thought I would let everyone know, Jack McDowell passed away on Sept 19th 2007 after a long medical battle with an array of illness one after the other but he fought like a lion and passed away with the words Love on his lips. His recipe for 'Tennessee Ambush Chili' lives on, as does our love for him.
