Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Hmm, if I'm gonna be at Costco, maybe I'll pick up a pizza. Or a couple of hot dogs. *drools*

It's certainly cheap enough. The local Costco is a favorite lunch spot for all the local companies. Plus being on the outside where no card is needed adds to its popularity.

This discussion should be in the food thread, but......

I never thought much about In 'N' Out fries... Always thought they were under cooked. Maybe that's why they're awful when cold.

Of course, aren't all fries awful when cold?

From Got Something to Say:
Took your advice as this does relate to food.

The fries are good when it's fresh out of the fryer. Knowing that they are freshly made, it's a good feeling. But they go cold quickly and become this soggy mess.

Free lunch!

Those people drive me nuts: they leave their empty containers all over the store... Slobs. :grumble:

I've (really) noticed this after working at a supermarket.

I've also noticed that at all supermarkets do people leave the empty cups lying around. (when you notice something, you tend to notice it every where else you go) So urking. Sometimes, I find one that is around a week old with ants and stuff crawling all over it. Disgusting. Sometimes I think to myself if these sort of people actually taught their children to do the same. -Apparently as this types of things have been going on for years. :rolleyes:

It's like it reconstitutes itself back into a whole potato.

Sushi day, folks! :thumbsup:

Capellini with ... olive and tomato sauce ...

Reading everyone's posts is making me hungry and I just ate at a nice little Greek restaurant. The antipasto platter was the best! The taramasulata (sp?) was terrific! My first time there, definitely going back. :D

What's taramasulata?

I found this definition at cellartastings.com

"Occasionally called gGreek Caviarh, Taramasalata is a very popular and traditional dip, served as part of a Greek Mezze (similar to Spanish gTapash in that many small dishes are served at once instead of a traditional three course meal). Made with fish roe, the taste is rich and savory. gTaramáh means gCarph and the true key ingredient to this recipe is indeed the bright pink Carp Roe (eggs). Taramasalata can be served with pita bread or even baked chips (crisps). Garnish it with sliced black olives and capers, and the dish is eye catching and an attractive party dish. Taramasalata pairs nicely with crisp white wines, Greek or even a French Viognier. Serve it with Hummus, Dolmas, Tzatziki and Melitzanosalata for a Greek themed dinner."


My Greek antipasto platter also came with Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), hummus (chickpea or garbanzo bean dip or spread), Melitzanosalata (egg plant dip), Skordalia (potato spread) olives, feta cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers served with wedges of warmed pita bread. It didn't have the Tzatziki ( yogurt dip) included. If you ever go to a Greek restaurant, I highly recommend this dish. :)

No much of a roe fan. Too salty.

The antipasti sounds much better. ;)
