We move onto the meat region today. Sorry about not posting this yesterday, but until you all start sending me donations, I have to work an actual job. So, get those checks sent, but until then, deal with the delayed posting. Not that anyone was complaining, but I thought I would nip it in the bud. Anyways, to the meat! (and yes, that is a turkey made out of bacon).
---------------------------
I'm going to ruin this region for you right now. It was all chalk. And most of them weren't even fucking close. But now that the random meat choices have been ousted, I think we might start seeing some of the big boys fall.
---------------------------
1 Beef vs 8 Crab
Some people say crabs are the cows of the sea. Actually no one says that, but they go toe to toe in this matchup. Methinks the Marylanders might give beef some trouble, but not enough to make the upset. Crab barely beat tuna, 20-17, but the cows CRUSHED alligator 39-1. I think that alligator vote was out of sheer pity.
---------------------------
2 Chicken vs 7 Turkey
Ooooo boy. This one could be the biggest upset of the tournament up to this point. Chicken is favored nationwide, but damn if turkey isn't just a little more flavorful and delicious. Plus this being a VT-centric site could skew the results a bit. Chicken handled waterfowl almost as well as beef handled alligator 36-4, but don't think turkey gave clams the day off. Turkey abused the poor shellfish 36-3. I don't know how the chicken-waterfowl matchup got one more total vote than turkey-clam, and I don't care. This is going to be a bloodbath. A delicious delicious bloodbath.
---------------------------
3 Lobster vs 6 Salmon
We got two heavyweights of the water here. Both are classy foods that don't play dirty. Lobster clawed out lamb 21-17 while salmon slaughtered venison 27-12. This is a tough matchup as well and could go either way. Each one from the liberal corners of the country, salmon from the pacific northwest and the mighty lobster from New England. I can see a lot of conservatives abstaining from this one on principle alone.
---------------------------
4 Shrimp vs 5 Pork
When you have all this chalk, you have big name fights in the next round. This one is no different. Shrimp is undoubtedly the king of the seafood world while pork is the underrated white meat. Both meats handled their previous opponents with ease. Shrimp beat out veal 30-9 while pork humiliated bison 33-5. Seeing pork beat out shrimp would not be a shock at all, and might not even count as an upset to many. But shrimp has it's loyalists. Shrimp can't get cocky going into this battle because pork could de-poop them before shrimp even knew what was going on. I look forward to seeing the outcome of this one.
---------------------------
So go and vote away on the meat region. We got veggies and cheese to come. Voting ends on fruits tomorrow at 5 and voting on meats ends Friday at 5.
