Buying fresh vs store bought – Pink vs brown paste

Which one of those looks more appetizing? If you’re a vegetarian or weirded out by raw meat, your opinion doesn’t count. :P Maybe “which one looks more real?” is the better question. You should be able to click the picture to get a larger view, but if not, here’s the link.

Either way, I couldn’t help but snap this picture of sauage one morning. I’d just had a fresh hog butchered, but wanted to finish up some already purchased sausage that I had, so I was going to combine the two.

It was really hard to want to eat the storebought paste after not only see how drastically different the colors were, but also that the glue on the right is roughly the same color as my kitchen counter. I don’t think that’s normal, heh.
