Meat has steadily risen in popularity, beginning its ascent with the invention of fire, and has since reached its zenith with a timeless chart-topping album of the Meat Loaf variety. Sing along with your sustenance with today's Groupon: for $29, you get $60 toward Italian Beef, Sausage, and more gourmet meats from Scala's Original.

Founded in 1925, Scala's Original provides authentic Italian meats prepared with a quality-over-quantity mentality. The Italian sausage is a tubular treasure of succulent pork and savory seasoning, much like a monocled sow's gold-sewn sock (5 lbs. for $79.95). This signature rolliche contains no excess fat, additives, or preservatives. Cow lovers can bolster bread with the famously thin-sliced beef for a truly historical hoagie, as Scala's claims to have helped invent the first Italian-beef sandwich during the Great Depression ($99.95 for 5 lbs., comes with a half gallon of gravy). Champions of duality can indulge in both meats with the beef and sausage combo pack, which includes 2 pounds of roast beef with a half gallon of gravy, 2.5 pounds of Italian sausage, and is augmented with 16 Gonnella bread rolls and a jar of Scala's own giardiniera ($124.95).
