[Great hard-to-find condiments]

never had it, but saw on another forum a reference to Alaga Yellow Syrup.   apparently a regional delicacy down south.

 

here in Merryland all seafood must be accompanied by Old Bay seasoning.  distinctive yellow can.

[Iron Chef Gauntlet]

I think AB is great.  prefer him to the regular 'chairman' (big downgrade from the original Japanese IC Chairman).

I didn't think he was too snarky.

 

anyone else remember his 'scrap iron chef' from the original Good Eats?  classic.

imho.

I recently finished On the Noodle Road: From Beijing to Rome, with Love and Pasta by Jen Lin-Liu. Quite an interesting read.

 

I also read this.  very good.  would love an extended food sample trip sometime, preferably by train.

 

 

I highly recommend this book

Taste of War: World War II and the Battle for Food 

 

outstanding account of food in WWII, specifically in England, Germany, USA, USSR and Japan.  what was eaten, government policy, military rations.  some real horror stories.  several times the Japanese lost more troops to hunger (and related malnutrition etc) than battle losses.

[Archway & Mother's Cookies bite the dust]

not a cookie eater

 

used to like Archway.  I see they're still on the internet, no idea if in local stores

will take a look next trip to market

[Super Bowl 2017: what are you serving?]

I got church.

 

after I think I'll treat self to wings and fries from the Chinese takeout.  (maybe a salad at home)

***Food suppliers US Foods and Sysco have initiated separate lawsuits accusing numerous large poultry suppliers of colluding to manipulate wholesale chicken prices, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The two companies, which are the largest food suppliers to U.S. restaurants in the country, alleged that the poultry processors, including Tyson Foods, Pilgrim's Pride and Sanderson Farms, have artificially limited supplies and inflated prices for years, according to the report.***

 

well...this doesn't sound good

any insider info here?

(hope this is the right forum for this content)
