The company, founded about a century ago by an immigrant German sausagemaker, once had an export business in boneless beef as well as in tripe and hearts.

The somnambulists who voted in featherweight tripe like Scent of a Woman and Field of Dreams are finally hibernating where they belong. As Shakespeare once apostrophized, "Studios, studios, where art thou, studios...
