If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Protein is protein.

Do the Brits call the piglets "bangers," or just the sausages?  Might like to save that one up for my pun cache.
