No, the cotton used here is not first grade, most of it is actulay left over
waste during the spinning / gining process.

(Flame suit on, and the flack jacket).I have heard that the oily tasing
grain feed stuff, served up in the States is cheep. Here you will pay $6-9
from the local take away ("Take out" as you call them), or a shopping mall.
In a normal restaurant (Why name eating places after a style of French
soup?) or Pub bistro $12 - 25. I don't think that any of the "Fancy" eating
houses in Melbourne would even contemplate placing Beef Spare Ribbs on the menu.
