These look really great, Bandit.

Remember that you can use either "ser" or "estar" with regard to food.

La ensalada de tomate es buena. (It's always good, good in general)

La ensalada de tomate está buena. (The salad you gave me today is good, this particular one)

La carne está en la tienda.

This one is a bit odd. In response to "Where is the meat?", it would be fine (but that, too, is an odd question). In response to ¿Dónde hay carne? or ¿Donde venden/se vende carne?, Hay/venden/se vende carne en la carnicería/tienda.

"La carne está en la tienda." is grammatically correct but it's an odd thing to say.

When I put this together I wasn't even thinking of questions that would get an answer. As I continue to learn I'll try and think in terms of not just answers but questions. Thanks for your answer! - bandit51jd, Dec 5, 2010
