I just did a large Trader Joe's run today but now I want pizza. Nothing blasphemous like in that image, though.

I wish my Trader Joe’s wasn’t in the worst part of the worst shopping plaza with the worst parking lot in the world.

I feel the same way about my TJ's, but as I only go once or twice every quarter, it's fine. Today I got there ~9:45AM and I was out in under 30 minutes since I mostly wanted to restock my freezer with lazy meals.

Seen quite a few spicy pickled carrots served on the side of street tacos. Might just be a southwest thing though, I don’t tend to eat Mexican food when I travel.

Escabeche is a very common side dish with tacos - pickled jalapenos with carrot, onion, and cauliflower generally, sometimes other stuff in there.

I am intrigued by the soy sauce flavor. Soy sauce goes surprisingly well with vanilla ice cream, so might as well just simplify matters.

An absolute pro tier topping for vanilla ice cream is pomegranate molasses.

more general though corn used to refer to basically any grain, so "a corn" would be roughly analogous to "a grain" I think.

What? "a corn" is a type of squash.

That's not steel, that's aluminum - and it doesn't list a safe oven temperature, so I'm skeptical. You really want blue (or carbon) steel - just keep it seasoned like you would cast iron.

Matcha ice cream sounds good in concept. Is it, like, a disguised heap of matcha powder?

It looks like matcha ice cream that's been absolutely covered in matcha powder. So yes, there is ice cream underneath - but you're getting a mouthful of powder at the same time.

Seems like something people only make on TV because no one in my house liked sweet potatoes

This was a staple for Thanksgiving in my family. It was great for about 3 bites.

Sweet potatoes are best as a hash. Sweet potato + onion/pepper/garlic/sausage is something I'll do once a month or so.

I always want to flip the table when I see that stuff. Like yeah, tartare's a thing, but it's not the Walmart ground beef and Wonder Bread special.

This. Good tartare should be hand cut shortly before ordering - it reduces the risk of food borne illness significantly by doing it that way.

SlothfulCobra posted:

I think it's one of those things where both there's a lower percentage of contaminated meat than you'd think, and also sometimes minor food poisoning isn't that bad. The FDA or USDA put a decent amount of work into keeping low margins of the worst diseases.

Much like how so many people eat uncooked egg and are fine despite the government's recommendations.

I'd be hesitant to say that minor food poisoning isn't that bad, and also the risk of contaminated meat heavily depends on the type of meat. As an example, trichinosis is incredibly rare, and generally comes from bears today rather than pork. Rates of trichinosis in the United States have decreased from about 400 cases per year in the 1940s to 20 or fewer per year in the 2000s.

Salmonella, however, [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella#Global_monitoring]is quite common - In the United States, about 1,200,000 cases of Salmonella infection are estimated to occur each year.[/url] I don't screw around with undercooked chicken as a result. There's more to it (turkey is apparently much safer than chicken due to policy and monitoring improvement throughout the supply chain) - but it's still not something you want to experience.
