On this episode, we’re going to take a trip to the butcher’s. A “butcher” is someone who cuts and prepares meat, and sells it. Let’s get started.
Butcher: What can I get for you?
Gina: I’d like a pound of ground beef, please.
Butcher: Would you like the regular or the extra lean? The extra lean is a dollar more per pound.
Gina: I’ll take the regular. Could you also throw in two thick pork chops and two chicken breasts?
Butcher: I’m sorry, but we’re out of chicken breasts right now, but we have some thighs.
Gina: Hmm...In that case, I’ll just take some ham. I’d like that thinly sliced.
Butcher: Okay, is there anything else?
