Descriminated against due to a medical condition. Paul refused to sell me food, an essential item. Aside from telling everyone I know, I'll also file with the Human Rights Coalition. Talk soon Paul.

Sausages are my favourite. I love the variety, the unique flavours, and the high quality. The butchers are experienced and will get you the exact cut, size and preparation you are looking for. Worth the money.
