Then we're all agreed--let's eat!(WHAT'S NEW? Holiday Gift Guide) (meat box) (Buyers guide)

What do you give to the people on your holiday list who seem to have everything? They don't need another knick-knack or tchotchke to collect dust, and probably have all the tee shirts or bathrobes they'll be able to use for the rest of their lives. How about a gift of food? Everybody eats, right?

A gift box from Pritzlaff Brothers Gourmet Meats, Milwaukee, Wis., will deliver some delectable selections of beef, pork, lamb, or sausage that truly are a cut above the rest. The family business that has supplied fine meats to award-winning restaurants for three generations offers the finest, corn-fed Midwest beef, aged to perfection in state-of-the-art coolers.

We loved everything about the mouthwatering Sampler Box ($63.75), which contains two 6 oz. filet mignons, two 10 oz. New York strip steaks, and two 8 oz. sirloins. This is a great gift at a great price. Pritzlaff Brothers also offer American-style Kobe beef--raised in the Midwest for quality control but descended from premium Japanese stock--which is renowned for its exquisite taste and tenderness. For entertaining, try an elegant, hand-tied Pork Crown Roast or impressive Frenched Rack of Lamb.

You can be sure that every order is delivered in perfect condition, as all meats are individually vacuum wrapped and then flash frozen to lock in all the natural juices, flavor, and color. They are packed in a Pritzlaff signature gift box with recommended care and handling instructions and nestled in a polystyrene container with enough dry ice to ensure safe delivery.
