Kroger's store brands for food are the basic Kroger one, Private Selection for fancier stuff, and Simple Truth for organic. They have a few more for specific things, like cheese. Also some others in other departments like Abound and Luvsome for pet stuff.

ExecuDork posted:Thanks for the offer, but I have friends and family in Canada I can probably blackmail/extort into sending me one. So, I guess not quite THAT badly. I was searching around and someone said they found a few in-store, so they're still being made; it may just take a few attempts to find them in-stock. Good luck!

I'd rather do ketchup than chili sauce on french fries. But mixing a chili sauce into ranch is very good for french fries as well.

I agree with this hot take. However, cold ketchup on piping hot fries exists in a sacred realm.

Anyone else almost never use hot sauce despite having lots of great sauces you enjoy around? Most of the time it completely covers the flavor of whatever I put it on, and I usually only eat things that taste good on their own so… it’s mostly just for leftovers.

I'm guessing you don't eat a lot of eggs or fried food Some food is best as a base that displays sauces for your enjoyment

I only make food that tastes great as leftovers! Honestly I have a couple hot sauces and they're for stuff like eggs and perogies and whatever. I never put hot sauce directly on food and always just use it as a dip kinda thing. I don't generally make wings or whatnot. Maybe I should try the whole cauliflower 'wings' thing.

I use hot stuff to supplement what's already there with heat; definitely not a fan of using it straight.

I have like 8 bottles pf hot sauce that I really like, but I cook like 6 nights per week and go out for the 7th. When I cook, I make the food taste how I want it to taste. Other than putting Crystal on cajun/creole food that I cook, the hot sauces only get used on the once in a blue moon delivery pizza night.

Hot sauce was made for pizza and leftover rice. Throw some mayo in and youve got a snack goin. Dont misread this as some rice pizza thing they’re separate.

“Bachelor bowl” is my classic hot sauce food. Rice/beans/leftover protein/something crunchy in a bowl, Dab of mayo and a decent amount of hot sauce on top of that. The combinations trend towards the heretical.

When I was in uni I used to do that but with a 450g pack of ground beef. Throw some onions in , garlic, light seasoning, etc.

I love hot sauce, but I don't gently caress with anything with much vinegar. I like vinegar but the flavor of like, tabasco completely over-takes whatever I'm eating. Sriracha is the best cause the flavor is tasty but super mild. It doesn't make the whole meal taste like it. Also if I'm eating a burrito or something I Put hot sauce on every bite I love Taco Bell Fire sauce don't @me

The two hot sauce brands I will always shill for are Humble House and Yellowbird. I haven't had anything from either that was heavy on the vinegar, and neither one is on the Scoville express elevator, which I appreciate.

Secret aardvark has a more unique flavor but it slaps in a big bowl of pinto beans.

I hate to use acronyms, but lol at all this hot sauce chat from childless people. We have multiple hot sauces because I can’t put spice in any food, we eat with our children and they can’t bear anything stronger than mild to black pepper, and I can’t taste any heat in things they find inedible

Re: hot sauce The vinegar makes everything taste like vinegar, so I avoid the stuff like the plague. Also the Sriracha stuff is way too sweet for me. If I want something spicy to heat things up, I’ll go for mango pickle or lemon pickle. My brother sent me a jar of citron pickle. It’s a titch bitter, but I’m not mad at it.

CainFortea posted:I'm honestly curious how sriracha is too sweet but somehow mango pickle isn't. Mango pickle is made from green mangoes. It’s not the same as a chutney. It’s mostly really spicy, somewhat sour, and hella massively salty. The South Indian fave is tiny green mangoes called vadu manga. Little balls of hate that are delicious when pickled. The traditional home made ones don’t have added vinegar, although a lot of commercial ones use vinegar as an acidity regulator. Indian pickles are a vast and varied experience.

My son saying "good morning daddy" when I come in and turn on his light Getting a "good job" at work Hugging my wife the first quiet private moment each day ... none of these light up my life more than when I realize, sometimes after a bite or two, that a meal I'm eating is appropriate for mango pickle.

CainFortea posted:How does manog pickle compare to umeboshi? My wife loves umeboshi and she might be interested in this. It's in that same neighbourhood. Salty, spicy, sour. RE: Lime pickle chat. My mum's going through chemo for her uterine cancer, and she says that on the days immediately following a round of chemo, her tongue feels like a block of cardboard, and nothing seems even vaguely tempting to eat. Also, because of heartburn issues and other general issues, she can't have spicy food like she's used to eating all her life. What's saved her on several occasions is lemon or lime pickle with yoghurt rice, because she has to eat something or her body is going to go into even worse digestive trauma than it already is. Also, a bunch of her meds need to be taken with food. She's on the last couple of rounds right now, which means that hopefully if the final test results will come through and she can get her hysterectomy, and they can finally get her on the road to sorting out her pretty rough few months she's had. The chemo has been doing what it do, because apparently her markers came back, and the cancer levels have been dropping, which is good. Also, even though her insurance bitches every minute of the day, they still cover the treatments after the doctors and nurses call them to cuss them out for being loving soulless monsters for trying to delay treatment to someone who has stage four loving cancer. Just approve the drat thing so that she can get things under control and schedule the surgery. Anyway. Because it's something that she has in plenty (Arizona has some pretty bright sunny days for the drying step that pickles need), she's got a good variety of pickle that she made herself, or her friends made for her. And, it's something that she's always been able to make no matter where she's lived, because the ingredients are so basic: some lime or lemon, some salt, and some time. That's the most basic version. Since she does have access to spices, she'll also make the spiced version. It's an integral part of a South Indian's pantry, and something that she's had ever since she was young, so being able to reach for it when she's in a rough place gives her that comfort and gets her to eat something.
