You cook it, and I'll fluff it....

But all kidding aside, you're absolutely right, Hebrew Nationals don't have any preservatives or nitrates in strict accordance with Rabbinical edict ;)

Lemme check.


EDIT: Sodium Nitrite is the next to last ingredient on the HN package.

Apparently, Kosher doesn't necessarily mean preservative-free. :sweat:

Now, the all-beef hot dogs from Trader Joe's ARE nitrite free. :victory:

Good call. Krim's discussion also prompted me to look it up...I was mistakenly under the impression that it would perservative-free as well. Thanks for the correction, 'racer.

Like I said on the days you eat that stuff just take a couple of grams of Vitamin C if you don't already take C on a regular basis.

I don't think any fruit or vegetables saw the light of day on Sunday, unless you count the Heinz sweet relish and/or the chopped onions... :beaten: :sweat:

Ain't no thing...you probably eat healthier than most people (in the country!) on any given day. You gotta let loose sometimes. :)

a little sodium nitrate never killed anyone, in fact, it might keep that fungus problem in check. :hehe:

Haha...yeah I'm sure. It's just one eats too much of that ish it can contribute to your risk of colon cancer.

That's why sometimes when I buy pre-sliced deli meat at the market I go for Hormel's Natural Choice...no perservatives whatsoever. No nitrates, no MSG, just salt.

Or go Euro style. I buy Proscuitto di Parma at Costco...which is the real thing and it too is only cured with air & salt. If you try to buy Proscuitto di Parma or Proscuitto di San Danielle from a high end grocery store or deli as opposed to Costco it costs far more money. :nut:

They have that? :shocked:

What about Parmigiano Reggiano?

Yes they do have REAL Parmigiano Reggiano as well as the similar and also popular REAL Grana Padano from Italy. Again their prices are cheaper than most other places.

Given that the Torrance location caters to some affluent customers I'm sure you could find all three products there. In fact, I've seem them there myself.

Wow... Had no idea.

I can make my own risotto with real Parmigiano-Reggiano... With Proscuitto di Parma. :victory: :drooling:

Please invite me over. :beaten:

They have a lot of cheeses in fact that you can't find at other Costco locations. English, Spanish, Irish, and French cheeses that are not available at other locations. Some locations may have some of what they offer there but usually not as much variety.

Yay! McDonalds JP brought back the Tsukimi Burger for limited time. It's pretty much a burger with bacon and egg. I know it's weird but damn tasty!

Here's a CM of it from last year. From watching the CM, I'm curious who here is aware of the "rabbit pounding mochi on the moon" pareidolia?

hmmm.. i dont think i've seen real Parmigiano at our local Costco, i'll have to look closer. I tend to goto Whole Foods for that type of food, maybe Bristol Farms if its something that's hard to find.
