I was at Whole Foods. They had pork sausages on special. So I looked in the case and they had some very nice looking bratwurst, so I asked for some. The guy behind the butcher counter picked up mild Italian sausages. I said, "Er, The ones next to that are the bratwurst." Then I realized the signs were wrong too. And since they sell the Italian sausage in bulk, it's easy to see the Italian sausages are mis-labeled. I suggested this might be the case, but when he insisted, I said, "I want two of the white ones, whatever you're calling them, please." I got two bratwursts. They smell like bratwurst, but sure enough the wrapper says "Italian sausage".

I'm going to be doing my meat shopping somewhere else from now on.

(And no one better get on my case about Whole Foods being expensive. I live in a really expensive area and I find that with careful shopping, WF prices are actually lower and they have better selections of some items (especially organic dairy) than where I normally shop. Plus they feature locally made items. So I could save a bit more money shopping at Safeway or something, but I'd wait a lot longer in the queue and I'd be buying WTF milk.)
