iirc, food pantries don't actually want donations of food(since people donate stuff gross enough that they aren't eating it(like your 'steamed vegetables'), or unhealthy poo poo like boxed mac & cheese), but they accept them because it's easier to convince people to hand over cans with two years of dust on them than actual money. Aren't people swell?

This definitely isn't true of all food pantries and soup kitchens. The ones I've volunteered at over the years welcome pretty much anything, but are especially happy with restaurants' leftovers (that whole poo poo where your boss says you can't donate food because they could be held liable if some hobo gets sick is the biggest sack of horseshit in history), and especially, especially happy when they can convince a bakery to bag up all the end-of-day stuff daily so they can come pick it up. Costs the bakery nothing and perfectly good bread that would normally be thrown away goes to feed people who need it. Everybody wins. And seriously, being able to pack up and distribute or serve fresh bakery bread alongside a meager helping of soup and canned fruit makes a big difference.

Now, we'd never straight up say "no" to a donation, but I've got to admit that it's heartbreaking to see a company van pull up to unload a donation and find out that it's a pallet of canned peas or sauerkraut or whatever was on sale at Aldi/Lidl. They're doing it for either a tax deduction or local recognition ("We donated X tons of food this year!" yeah, don't tell the reporter that it was X tons of peas and spinach), so the least they could do is spend the money on stuff the pantry or soup kitchen actually needs.

Cash is great but for some reason people think "no they need food they are a pantry I will buy them food." Do us a favor and ask if we need anything specific (baby food baby food baby food baby food baby food) or just drop by with cash or a check for the sum of what you were going to buy. It'll save you a trip to the store, and we'll be just as grateful, I promise :)

This taqueria by me has "pork maw" as a meat option for its tacos. I tried their chicharrones in green chile sauce, but instead of the lovely crunchy stuff I'm used to on tacos, they...reconstituted or something, so I wound up eating thumb-sized strips of warm pork skin in sauce. I tried not to A. chew or B. think too hard about it. I should have taken a picture for the thread.

The weird part is that "pork skin" was listed separately, as "cuerito". This gringa does not know the difference. :(

Edit: Actually, speaking of canned vegetables and poo poo, has anyone ever had canned jackfruit? I was slightly interested (I like weird fruit, but understand jackfruit is weirdly textured) until I discovered it was being touted as a vegan pulled-meat alternative. Trader Joe's included it in a display with, like, barbecue sauce and pickles. Nnnnnope.

This is actually the more traditional Mexican way to have them when in tacos, more spongy and soft because its stewed in a sauce.

Cuerito as I know it is pickled and served as a side dish for picnics and parties, and instead of being crispy and meaty like chicarrones it is rubbery. I don't know how some families prepare pork for pozole but I've had some where the pork had a distinctive 'barnyard' taste to it :stonk:

Never had canned Jackfruit but I've had it fresh 'Jaca' and it is the weirdest tasting thing to me. Not gross, just strange, like eating fruit on another planet or something. Its also pretty bizarre looking itself; like a giant green spiky football on the outside with yellow flesh inside. You can get them in Mexican supermarkets.

My in laws will buy it, cut it up and freeze it so they can eat it like ice cream in the summertime. In fact that's how I found out about it; I told them how I saw some interesting fruit in a local Mexican supermarket and they had ziploc bags of frozen slices of Jackfruit for me to try.

Pineapple/banana is a good descriptor, it is a very unique combination of flavors.

On another note, while I love cilantro and don't have that mutation that tastes like soap (tastes like a nice bright, fresh taste in contrast to the savory meaty flavor of the rest of the taco to me) for some reason I find Papaya to smell and taste like rotten rear end and while I never smelled Durian I can only assume it is like 'Papaya but worse'. Then again maybe I'm just a picky weirdo; I thought I would like it and tried it many times but always feel like it has a 'rotting meat' aspect to it.

Pretty much any actual bakery will make you a funny dick or boob cake. I've worked in two and they both did them, but were very discrete about it. Usually for bachelorette parties or bridal showers. Now if you want one that has like veins and is basically a true work of erotic cake art, then you go to the specialty shops.

Is that the problem? I remember loving papaya juice (cocktail) as a kid, but when I picked up a papaya the other day to make a smoothie, it smelled and tasted pretty gross. Maybe the wrong variety, maybe the wrong provenance, maybe we needed to let it ripen a poo poo-ton more. :iiam:

Ok I thought it was just my goony pickiness (still could be a factor).

I know some plants give off a smell that tells flies 'rotting flesh come and get it!' in order to pollinate themselves (are bees just lazy?) so I figured some tropical fruits smelled/tasted like rear end because they were trying to attract pollinating insects or scavengers to either pollinate them or distribute the seeds.

Kern's Papaya juice is fine but that poo poo is basically sugar syrup so I'm not sure if that's a reasonable gauge of flavor.

Thank you, I'm not crazy!

Some varieties of tropical fruit seems to be evolved to mostly emulate the smell of a vertibrate decomposing. I guess I'm not evolved to enjoy the smell/taste of wet rear end.

They sell them 'raw' and you have to fry them. Or I guess microwave them. I bet they are good! It just seems like more effort than I want to put forth for a chip.

For two months, sometimes 4 times a day I would peel and chop about a dozen papayas. They definitely have that pukey smell to them, but I don't mind them. They're far worse when you have to wash 12 crates of them, because the sap breaks down lipids just like pineapples so it eats your skin away after a while, plus they'd be covered in pesticides and we washed them in saltwater. I pretty much burned my fingertips off and my hands would be red for days after spending half an afternoon washing them. Papayas usually come covered in tiny snails too.

That's my papaya story. Have some chicken.
