Loving liverwurst
A close reader of this site knows that I am a liver fan. Recently at the Union Square Greenmarket, I happened upon Flying Pigs Farm. I'm not sure how I missed them before, but now they are in my weekly shopping rotation because they sell the most amazing liverwurst! "Mild seasonings mixed with equal parts of pork liver and jowl--nothing else! Traditional German recipe." Not only is it delicious, Flying Pigs Farm pigs are all rare heritage breeds, and the farm is Certified Humane Raised & Handled. That's some liverwurst you can feel good about. And your tummy will feel good about it too, as mine does nearly every day now when I have a liverwurst sandwich for lunch.

Comparing Frozen Fish to Fresh
My mother swears by frozen fish. I was unconvinced, and decided to put her statements to the test: could flash-frozen fish taste as good as fresh local fish from the Greenmarket or even fresh fish from a local supermarket?
