Pizza Veggie Burgers were fantastic. We eat a lot of the Quinoa Cowboy Veggie Burgers, but I think Pizza Burgers is going to make it into the rotation.

I like the Thai veggie burgers. But I have this problem where I'm good for about five of any variety of veggie burger, so I wind up with a bunch of three-quarters full burger boxes.

got the gluten-free cupcakes because they were prominently placed, and I didn't see any glutenous cupcakes nearby. Pretty tasty cupcake.

I would try these steak&ale pies

Do NOT look at the nutritional information on the back of the Balti pies. In fact just throw the box the fuck out and enjoy them.

That's why I never get them, because I did look at it. Same with the quiches.

yeah the chicken balti pies are awesome but are super calorie/fat dense :(
i bought the hatch chili mac & cheese...very very mild. just get the regular mac & cheese and doctor it up, probably a better value for the $$.

soy and flax seed chips are pretty good, especially if you warm them up a bit

wtf who warms up chips

Fresh tortilla chips are warm.
― nickn, Tuesday, 16 February 2016 18:11 (eight years ago) link
Yeah I usually warm up my tortilla chips. Because I can't deep fry my own.

i have never even considered doing such a thing unless i'm melting cheese on them, and i'm told this is frowned upon by snobs (not that i care what snobs think about my nachos)
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 20:19 (eight years ago) link
True snobs wouldn't even eat nachos, that's purely a slobs thing.
― we salute you, our half-inflated dark lord (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 20:20 (eight years ago) link
there are bad nachos, but all nacho choices are, in the end, very personal. if you enjoy them, then they're good.
― μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 20:21 (eight years ago) link
actually, i warm them up because we're a bit sensitive to the oils and salt they use
warming them up helps. there are a bunch of usa/california products that we're sensitive to in my family; massively produced fruits, processed foods, etc.
― F♯ A♯ (∞), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 20:24 (eight years ago) link
uh, not produced...but harvested, i guess?

why do i buy trader joe's salsa? every time I do it, it is always so disappointing that I eat a tenth of it and then say, "why suffer through bad salsa?" and get good salsa at whole foods.
― sarahell, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 18:23 (eight years ago) link
that said, the Indonesian salsa is actually quite good
― sarahell, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 18:25 (eight years ago) link
their corn uhh salsa or whatever they call it is pretty good
the tomato-based salsa are all pretty meh as far as I've found
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 17 February 2016 18:31 (eight years ago) link
The tomatillo is OK if you want mild.
― nickn, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 19:23 (eight years ago) link
i like taking the red or green jarred salsa and blending it with loads of cilantro and many habaneros. they're both great bases, imo, but kinda weak by themselves

The 'country potatoes with haricot vert and mushrooms' is pretty awesome for a quick side dish, though a bit light on the mushrooms.

tjs is decent, but i don't like that they relabel all their products with their name on it. sometimes i want to see what company/manufacturer a product actually belongs to
― F♯ A♯ (∞), Saturday, 5 March 2016 00:07 (eight years ago) link
Isn't that at the manufacturer's insistence? Don't want to have people stop buying the more expensive "name" version for the TJ version.

it's their main point of negotiation, working with suppliers to negotiate mass buys for off-brand goods

i don't think so. the bottle of vinegar i bought at world market looked exactly the same as the one at tj's, the only difference being the logo
― F♯ A♯ (∞), Saturday, 5 March 2016 19:57 (eight years ago) link
yeah, except world market probably pays a little more per bottle and you pay a little less at TJ's, that's their value proposition
