Maybe a little off topic, I don't know... Last winter or a little before, my friend told me that Winn-Dixie had started roasting turkey breasts, much the same as they roast whole chickens. You could order as little or as much as you liked. It was REAL turkey breast, and my husband said it tasted wonderful. He was scarfing it up. I was buying hunks of it and slicing it for his sandwiches, cubing it for salads, cutting it for fajitas, adding it to turkey chile--you name it.

Suddenly, early last spring, I got a hunk and noticed it looked ever so slightly pink. So I tasted it-- really salty, not like freshly roasted turkey. The next time I went in, I asked the meat counter person if it was being smoked. He said not at all. I took some home, and same look, same taste. I told my friend, and she had noticed it too. So obviously they had changed to some brand with some kind of additive or processing. Very disappointed, I quit buying it. We left TV soon after, but my friend told them she wasn't buying it anymore because they had changed to an inferior product.

I think you can tell a difference in product sometimes.
