[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 45475, member: 7"] Ok. I voted flake. But that covers a lot of room. I love the Gawith flakes. Even with all the seemingly odd toppings/casings/etc, I have never had a bad flake from them. Something about that steam cooking process makes them delicious. McClelland has the flake thing down pat also. Not cooked as long as the Gawith flakes. Certainly weaker than the Gawith flakes. Wish they would do some stronger blends. But still good. The only C&D flake I really like is Bayou Morning Flake. All the tins I have had open of BMF, were that rough looking, thick cut, black and brown, half sticky flakes wrapped in paper. I am hoping that it hasn't changed. It smokes wonderfully for me. I tried to like their new narrow cut flakes. But I just cannot bring myself to say it. They are crumbly and uncooked in appearance. I like several of the blends, but I wish they would cut it more like Billy Budd instead of that narrow flake. Not trying to slam them. And I know that same narrow flake type stuff is used in some GL Pease blends. But I much prefer if it was cooked and pressed longer, or cut differently. [/QUOTE]
