Orange juice kinda makes you fat, so if you are gonna have it do it right (and pulpy).

Living next to a canyon full of orange groves in Ventura totally ruined me for store bought orange juice. The grove near my house used to sell (illegal) juice from all the fruit too beat up to pack and ship... 1-gallon plastic jug of unpasteurized juice for 5 bucks. 100% sweet, no off flavors, it's amazing. Short shelf life though; after a few days in the fridge, it starts to taste like store-bought.

Fresh Squeezed is good, but fresh squeezed from oranges that fell off the tree a few hours ago is phenomenal. Speaking of kim chi, remember that post I made about food hoarding? I just found an unopened jar of kim chi in the back of my fridge... that expired over a year ago. Taste fine, I little more rotten then usual, but still good.

Mmm, I stayed with a friend at her mother's house in Majorca a few years ago and although it was February there were still oranges on the trees. I made juice every morning. I found them a bit sweet so would add the juice of a fresh lemon to each jug. So drat good. And so delightfully abundant. Fresh OJ (at least here) is usually served in small portions so having loads was lovely.

Best part of going to costco as a kid was eating the huge rear end pizza afterwards. It wasn't particularly good, but drat was it satisfying after shopping for hours on end.

GrAviTy84 posted:OH NO CHEMICALS It's more that Simply Orange advertises as the most basic, homegrown, homestyle, JUST SQUEEZE AND POUR orange juice out there, when there's literally an algorithm to prepare it. Tropicana used to hint at how cumbersome manufacturing orange juice is in their commercials, but Simply Orange kind of straight up lies about it. I also found it crazy to think an underground pipeline exists for transporting orange juice.

Man, I've lived in Oakland for the last 11-12 years and eaten a gently caress ton of BBQ, I have no idea what a goddamn koolaid pickle is and don't think I've seen one? And I love pickles, I eat them at every opportunity. The best BBQ comes from an oil drum under a tent in an empty lot. Sometimes there are plastic chairs, sometimes there arent. The place painted purple in the dirty thirties with the buzzer and bullet proof glass is A+

I don't think anyone was trying to say Costco is bad, just that the hot ready to eat food served near the entrance/exit is usually subpar food but at least it's priced accordingly. Costco pays their workers well even though they aren't unionized.

Said it before, if the Prairie-dwelling Native Americans had process control and manufacturing science down to a pat you can bet they'd be mechanically separating bison and all the hippie crunchies would wipe the teardrops from their cheeks praising them for their thrift and wisdom.

Yeah, but I'm not sure they would have had enormous feedlots if grain- and sheep- and antibiotic-fed cows then going through a slaughterhouse at ridiculous speeds.

EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:This is literally what all ungarnished emulsified sausages are supposed to be though? No, not really... you can tell the CostCo dogs are made from decent meat, because they have a nice firm texture when you bite into them. Hot dogs made from literal lips and assholes are much looser, and mushier, like those lovely pickled sausages I sometimes buy from gas stations on road trips.

Costco hot dogs are Hebrew Nationals and I have to get them over the admittedly-good Polish because Hebrew Nationals are the best hot dog out there. Yes, natural-casing dogs are delicious, but there's just something about all-beef hot dogs made by a company that Answers to a Higher Authority™.

They haven't been Hebrew Nationals for awhile. To keep the $1.50 price they are using their own hot dog. Still 100% beef and tasty though I slightly prefer the old ones.

lol @ wiener wars. idk, they're pretty good dawgs. As mentioned they're not made by hebrew national anymore, was kind of controversial. Turns out they were supplied by two producers: sinai and hebrew national. Sinai is a subsidiary of sara lee which decided to stop producing. Hebrew national was unable to meet the now twofold needs of the giant so Costco developed their own dog. I'm not gonna say that they're the best dogs, but they're better than ball parks, nathans, and whatever you can get at a normal grocery store counter. I have a portillos across the street from my costco though so  One thing I will say that I dig about costco in recent years is their switching to more local produced goods and products. They started carrying cases of local craft brewery Hangar 24 in store instead of things like sierra or pyramid. Their cheese selection has more than doubled lately and I've started seeing things like roquefort, saint andre, parmiggiano reggiano, manchego, etc. They started carrying flats of free range organic eggs. IDK, people vilify them, but I think in the grand scheme of megachain marts, they're doing p good imo. edit: relevant, random thing I saw at costco last weekend:
