Margarine N. of the Border ? WW I or WW II vintage ? and infusion of Crispy Calamari might be what the Doctor Orders. just saying

@Anna N Im sending you Good Health or Better Heath Your Way. cheers , under the circumstances your way.

@blue_dolphin my view is this: being a California Native Son some time ago Artichokes are difficult to process in mass we want the ' Heart " which BTW extends down the root core but its a bit of work to get this done even is you can get fresh artichokes and i indeed love them ! I made many for my father in is later years in California but I never enjoyed the peeling etc but in the end it was worth it for me and my father.

the other day , on the google news-feed there was a ref. to " 77 things you have to try at TJ's " or something like that. didn't bookmark it , big mistake couldn't find it again. some interesting things turned up , but can't remember them so I prowled around this AM at Tj's , and found this : I was very much prepared to like this. some time ago , someone posted about Cara Mia artichokes http://shop.starfinefoods.com/cara-mia-artichokes/c/star@artichokes maybe @Margaret Pilgrim can't remember but the CM artichokes seem to be only available on-line. now this TJ's version has one good point , and several not so good points a good point is that its not salty at all ! bad points : its very oily , and most of the oil is safflower oil , bland and insipid. there is the claim on the label that there is Virgin Oilive Oil but I could not taste it at all. and the second nail it its coffin : there is enough artichoke leaf fiber in this to make it unpleasant. get your detail floss out ! so its going back.

these taco's were both crispy on one side , and soft and oily ( in a good sense ) on the other. a bit of both worlds. and I can't say for sure , but the second set of 3 were better the the first trial item I asked for more ' not hot ' sauce. I got that and I think more filling ! this is not a TacoTruck or Street Taco. its a Corn-ey Greasy GutBombe . no more no less. and as such " Bombe's Away ! no TacoBell near me to compare. its an Im Starving and have just one buck taco It hit that spot BTW even though I wasn't starving and had more that 3 bucks in my wallet. I am glad BK is about 20 minutes away , but its on the way to MarketBasket. fortunatelly for me , I go to MB before BK switches to ' Lunch " Usually

@robirdstx Soooo jealous ! its taking to me no Jack near me Sooo sad and so much cheaper than BK Id try three , and that's just me

if BigMeat paid for this : https://thenextweb.com/insider/2019/08/16/lobbying-group-takes-out-full-page-ads-to-prove-beyond-meats-veggie-burger-is-unhealthy-but-its-not/ they need to get their Heads examined.

I will not lie : passing by BK at 10:45 AM today A Force pulled me in. yes , those are three tacos, but with extra ' hot sauce ' two would have been better . My Eyes were bigger than my stomach. Trashy - Tasty , freshly [sic] made. however , now Im not going to think of a FF Taco for many many years. a FF Palate-Cleanser is almost ice-cold and ready for service. don't try these , unless BK is not busy , and get the extra sauce. its not hot. one would be a good intro

interesting re currants https://thegreenergrassfarm.com/2015/02/08/forbidden-fruit-2-state-by-state-legality-of-gooseberry-and-currant-berry-laws-regarding-plants-in-the-ribes-genus/ " Most other states ban Ribes cultivars that are not resistant to the White Pine Blister Rust (WPBR) pathogen but below is the complete breakdown. "

of course , if the yeast is really 4 K old a double blind tasting test should be done : today's ' wild type ' i.e. the yeast that's floating around in your kitchen vs 4K old yeast and the same greens. suspect there is a lot of wishful thinking that Ancient is tastier . its more about older , pre-modified grains Id say. taste wise .

in the NYTimes article , they plan on doing some gene-sequencing on the yeasts involved. Im sure the actual technique is published somewhere , probably obscure.

in the NWTimes , Science Times , there is an article on recovering ancient yeast that had been used in Egypt 4,000 years ago , and with current , but ancient strains of wheat , making Ancient Bread . Barley and Einkorn flour was used. the article from the NYTimes didn't show up on their web site , but this similar is not better article turned up on Google : https://news.artnet.com/art-world/yeast-from-ancient-pottery-used-bake-bread-1618093 in the NYTimes article : from Mr. Blackley : " The Crumb is light and airy, The aria and flavor are incredible. " more work plans to be done to make sure the ancient yeast has not been contaminated w more modern yeast during the extraction.

more pics ,next time ? beautiful quilts , BTW.

Experiment # 2 : toasted the bun so it had some crunch. pickles , lettuce , tomato , red onion , mayo. cooked the BB at a higher temp , for 2.5 minutes a side. much better browning. added the ' pan juices ' to the burger. must be the saturated coconut oil nice. tasty . but its not beef. but acceptably close if you have any issues w ground beef. If High End Fresh ground chuck is $ 7.00 a pound : % 63.63 premium right here if ground beef was $ 3.50 a pound : % 314 premium. did I " feel great " as the CEO suggested i would ? no. felt the same. glad I tried it. esp w all the fix'ns so much easier and cheaper to eat less beef the eating less beef way. is this a fad ? doesnt look like a Hula hoop to me. is there a market for this ? of course . there is a lot of disposable income floating around. doubt, seriously doubt , in the long run , these products will be a success at FastFood outlets McD , BK , etc. its above their price-point , unless they have a surgical Microtome. FF is cooking these up , as they are terrified of loosing " Traffic " there is a good reason BK has the $1 Taco : traffic. but if you are in the Market for this sort of stuff : , BeyondBeef is the preferable choice, as far as I can tell over IF will I get these again ? No. I don't see the point. there is a very small group that might fined BMt interesting : those who observe Kosher. this package has a K on it , and speaking to a friend who is kosher , that K might not be an acceptable level of kosher as there are several levels but its fine for them. and he pointed out one thing Id forgotten , as im not kosher. its parve , I think its called. BMt w a nice char and a nice Bearnaise ? now your taking

Hospital Pharmacy in the back.

@MelissaH yes . surprising for that caliber of a store. and at those prices. ive decided that most people in this area think fish always is ' aromatique '

Im looking for The True Unadulterated Experience of BB. I decided to have one Burger Plain now. the opened package there is Sizzle ! flipped @ 3 min. package says 4 minutes a side. note : some brown bits ! the spatula after the flip. ' drippings ' not bad. no pea flavor so far On the lightly toasted i.e. warmed up plain biroche bun. note the ' cracklings ' the cut burger. no red beet juice bleeding. 3 min a side. package says 4. I was surprised that this tasted a lot more like beef than the IF @ BK. granted that's a FF version. the burger was not juicy , was a bit dry , but not overly so. it tasted like beef much more than IF. and the browned bits were tasty. this still is not going to be a threat to BigBeef. the back of the package says many interesting things , and a note from the Founder : "we hope our plant based meats [sic] allow you and your family to eat more , not less of the traditional dishes you love.while feeling great about the health , sustainability and animal welfare benefits of plant protein. " my italics this burger costs $ 11 / lbs. at a high end supermarket chain very near me , RocheBros. Family owned with a fine meat service counter: has 85 % ground beef ( chuck ) ground regularly though out the day , that has real beef flavor, Its $ 7.00 a pound . If I want a beef burger , Im happy to cook their meat rare . the extra 4 $ a lbs for BMt I feel is a waste of $ 4 with still a big sacrifice of flavor. very very very few people, these days, would have that extra $ 4 , so that they can purchase some ' feeling good " food. but there is a crowd that can afford to go out to eat and order an egg white omelette in a restaurant. This Beef is for You ! none the less , hype aside , Im pleased I tried this. Full Burger Treatment for the remaining puck later today. and there are minimal lingering flavors on the palate w this puck , and those that linger are not offensive. no Hoponius Uninon Ice Cold right now. after Eperiment # 2 : for sure.

later two hits for the Team : went to Wagmans early this AM went up stairs to the Meat Dept. BMt is downstairs in the Fz , in a section called " Meatless " the brioche buns were fresh. walked by the Fish section , the ammonia odors were impressive ! LTM on the burgers , once they thaw. no bacon. why sacrifice fine bacon ?

in the past the VP112S has had some issues in getting the top set just right for the Vac its mull hinged. take some time to look into getting the top to sit just right and make sure your settings for the seal are appropriate to the thickness of your bags good luck note the hinge system it might be your problem as it needs to set ' just right ' BTW others on this thread in the past has had trouble w this model i think due to the complex hinges and setting the top just right before the Vac does its Vac'ing

@Kim Shook when I Sturdy FastFood Im able to go just after they change from Breakfast [sic] to lunch maybe give them 30 minuts to get all the gears In Motion so what I have had , is FF that is hot , and just made. there is not Taco Bell near me there was one near th N.H. border , wehen I went up there to get some very fine wood for WoodWorking TB is not TexMex but it served it purpose : they had hot sauce in packets and I did enjoy their Tacos and Ect. then , well there was PInkMeat. no mater Im still here but that Taco , for 1 USD will get people in the Franchise. for FastFood its Traffic.

there is a Wegmans neat me. with the two story Plan and Cart escalators. they seem to have ByMt , its not at expensive as I thought. I get over their soon and try a Pack Improved w more SatFat !

wonderful trip thanks for taking the time to share

this food ' sector ' might have big problems w BeyondM and IF : https://finance.yahoo.com/news/legacy-veggie-burgers-fight-stay-110000252.html Big Beef won't , once instant gratification satisfies itself. I wonder if McD is going to be compelled to join in Im guessing they have long contracts w BegFreshBeef they don't want to disturb , and way to many items for the Franchise's to deal with properly as it is.

over here I tried a IF Wopper : https://forums.egullet.org/topic/29330-burger-king/page/11/?tab=comments#comment-2211422 impossible foods , or impossible meat and you get a zillions hits. these new foods are very trendy , and want your clicks. FB , Instant this and instant that after the curiosity and hype fade , they will for sure be around just not newsworthy . as they are more expensive than beef , the price is going to be the Achilles Heel in the long run.

A P.S.: an outstanding FastFood Palate Cleanser.
