I would characterize that as unusually tangible evidence of how chicken is sourced pretty grossly across the board. I still eat the stuff, but the poultry industry is nasty.

Sometimes cheap meat tastes soapy, but I never really looked into why. Never seen it with chicken though, it's usually bottom shelf beef.

At least on their video media channels. That article is also wild clickbait as it name drops David Chang in first few sentences as calling it "inedible" when he specifically referred to eating it cold because of to a lack of seasoning but they omit that detail until a minor mention at the bottom of the piece.

You will never buy regular bacon again. I always use the guide on this ugly website. I usually buy the big rear end pork belly and freeze half of it for curing later, but I have also used the smaller belly that is pre-sliced a few inches thick and it worked fine.

This man speaks the truth, and that site is a pro-click, even if it looks like it's from the 1990s. I've made bacon following those instructions, and it has always turned out well. Far better than store-bought bacon.

MarcusSA posted:I feel like I need more information on the smoking of the cream cheese here. Do I just throw the block on the grill and hope for the best?? There's a bunch of different recipes out there. Some people coat the cream cheese with rub, I don't. I just smoke it at like 225 give or take (if I have something else at 250 going I'll just throw it on there), cut a cross hatch in the cream cheese and let it go for a while. Different blogs/articles will say 90 minutes, 2 hours, whatever. When it's done I pour a few different flavors of the Fisher and Wieser sauces over the top. Raspberry Chipolte is a classic, and we've done Roasted Pineapple Habanero and Pineapple Coconut Mango Tequilla Sauce as well. There's lots of great bbq resources out there online. FB Groups, more YT channels than you have time to watch, but I'll tell you that Mr. Malcom Reed has never once done me wrong. https://howtobbqright.com/ Anything I've made from one of his recipes has turned out great. Make these, you won't regret it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL82hlORY-k skipdogg fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Mar 22, 2023 |

MarcusSA posted:I’m gonna get so fat. There's a joke I heard somewhere, probably here. Once you get to a certain age you either start smoking meats or get real big into like WW2 History or something. Like some sort of switch when you get into your 40's. It's going to get worse. You'll start collecting cooking gadgets, experimenting with things, looking for an excuse to cook things on the traeger. Hopefully the griddle bug doesn't get you and then you start going down the blackstone path of madness where it's smash burgers, hibachi and hashbrowns. Before you know it you have a back patio with 4 or 5 different ways to cook or smoke things and the madness takes over.

This is still a good deal for  residents. Just those wine glasses alone are usually $40/pair. https://www.costco.com/decoy-two-bottle-wine-gift-crate-ca-only.product.100465560.html not as good as the Dom Perignon 2012 deal last Wed that was crushed within a few hours.

Ayndin posted:The nutrition breakdown says there’s some sugar alcohols but the ingredients don’t say which. Could be it. I was glad there was no erythritol with the recent news, but the choice may be heart or fart. I took a look, it is listed in the ingredient statement; glycerin is a sugar alcohol, aka glycerol. Also that much fiber in a small amount of food can definitely cause gas, especially since it's from inulin. Inulin is fermented in the gut.

This is the height of anecdata, but sometime in the last few years I started disliking chicken for what sounds like similar reasons. This isn't regarding Costco chicken, just chicken in general. It started tasting weird and chemical to me, and while I've been able to be polite and force myself to eat it when it is served to me, only a couple time in the last year or so have I eaten chicken I actually enjoyed. This could be entirely a me thing since others haven't noticed it with the same meals, but it seems similar. For what it's worth, cilantro tastes like soap to me.

every now and then i get something with chicken in it that, for the lack of a better way to say it, tastes like _bird_. little jones got some paw patrol nuggets years ago that were that way, and they were vile. i've had lunchmeat chicken that was that way, too. i wanna say i've also had lunchmeat turkey that was that way, but it's mostly chicken. same story with chicken meatballs. i don't know if it's the bird equivalent of boar taint or what, but it's foul (haha im funny) when you get something that has the flavor normal chicken breast, bbq, drumsticks, and all that have always been fine so that's good at least

Costco sells Optimum Nutrition and that stuff is always legit since it's from one of the largest dairy companies in the world. I would trust no other brand. I remember when the goons were all about American Pure Whey and a bunch of us were wondering how it could be so translucent, so a goon who worked in a lab ran it through an assay and found it was like 90% dextrose. Google fully refunded all of us, I got my money back but my gains are lost forever.

Did you mean to put another word there, because I have no idea how to parse that. Every chicken I've ever eaten has tasted like a bird because chickens are birds.
