Empty Sandwich posted:one of my local grocery stores will occasionally put a full loving 50-lb bag of potatoes at the end of the aisle. it costs $12.99. Store near me does this with 20lb bags of onions at the same time every year, and they're even locally grown! They never last long enough to dry out or otherwise go bad. I just eat hella onions for 2 months and then crave more for another 2 months. Chopped raw onions on your burger, hotdog, eggs, rice pilaf, chili, salad, frozen pizza, bean side dish of almost any type, in your quesadilla or burrito, etc. Make a big pan of carmelized onions and put them in/on everything for 3 days straight. Sausages, omelettes, meatloaf sandwich, rice and beans, chicken patty sandwich, butter garlic parm pasta, couscous with diced mushroom and peppers, cabbage rolls, hamburger with BBQ sauce, steamed green beans, etc. Got me craving now. A sandwich of toast, fried egg w/ runny yolk, fried spam, and leftover carmelized onions. Or literally the same thing on leftover rice instead of toast.

OwlFancier posted:Nutella is allegedly made of nuts but what it basically is is just chocolate goop you can buy entire jars of. I assume it is some sort of nut butter used to suspend massive amounts of chocolate powder. They changed the recipe a few years ago, less nuts, less chocolate, mor sugar. My kid wanted a jar of nutella, but I'd already gotten him a 5kg tin of pickled cucumbers, so I said he had to choose. This tin of pickles, or this jar of nutella. He chose the pickles.

You've raised him well I remember nutella adverts from the UK when I was a kid, they had the gall to show the jar being filled by whole milk and piles of hazelnuts, with a smiling mother approvingly looking on as her kids spread it on their bread as each jar was made with the equivalent of a glass of milk!! or some other spurious bollocks

Honestly making "mashed potatoes" out of commercial chips is... you do you. But, for gently caress sake. Crush them into a powder and add just enough water to achieve the right consistency instead of boiling and draining whole chips. Like if you want to do it, for your own godforsaken reason, there's a competent and an incompetent way. Also are Lays cut from whole potatoes? Cause if you did it with Pringles it'd be like, congrats, you reconstituted them into the slurry they were originally made from.

Butterfly Valley posted:You've raised him well In the 90s, they tried to sell Kinder Milch-Snitte as a "healthy snack" and containing "lots of milk and a drop of honey", despite it being mostly fat and plain sugar. You need to eat like 20 of the things to get 200ml of milk, which also gets you 150 grams of fat or something. "Healthy snack", indeed.

Nutella used to advertise with "contains the best parts of a glass of milk" or something. I remember a cartoon that had some jars in a shop side by side, one saying that and the other "contains the stuff that was left over from the glass of milk"

Yeah, it is awesome stuff, my roommate ate most of it though

I have this brick of government-food-program American cheese. It is a perfect shade of construction equipment yellow, has the consistency of modeling clay, and tastes like the foil wrapper off an Arby's Beef & Cheddar. It doesn't melt worth a drat, to the point where if I slap a slice on a burger, the burger will be a lump of charcoal before the cheese begins to get appreciably melted. However, experimentation with previous blocks revealed it actually sears and crisps up if you plop it straight into the pan, like a fine toasting cheese, without any of the fineness whatsoever. Having a craving for crisp cheese, I just sliced open this block and tossed some in my trusty frying pan. However, whether because this is the first time I've done it on this stove (gas versus previous electric), because my spatula was too thick, because it's been so long since I made it last that I forgot the procedure, or simply due to the whims of the cheese gods, it failed completely. I got a melty mess that I couldn't flip, and a crispy bottom that stuck to the pan. Knowing I wouldn't get any semi-tasty cheese crisps out of this debacle, I draped a flour tortilla over the pan to soften and warm it, dumped the melted cheese out onto it, and scraped the crusty bits onto the resulting insult to quesadillas everywhere.

Canadian ads for Kraft Singles used to do the "glass of milk" thing too. I remember one where they poured milk out of a big old timey glass pitcher and it "filled up" as a cheese product slice.

Oh also I had a friend when I was a kid that was such a picky eater that he'd refuse anything that wasn't fast food or kraft singles and the worst loving white bread. He was so stubborn about this that his parents had to get him onto vitamin supplements, including an iron supplement, which hosed up his digestion and then he had to start taking metamucil for old people at like 12 years old, which he would rather do than just eat something that wasn't fast food or kraft singles. That's my Canadian Kraft Singles story.

That boom ended up causing companies to just have extra stuff to sell, and they needed a way to convince people to buy all the refuse.
