Gotta go to the store soon but I don't know how to shop. How do you guys plan your trips? Do you bring maps of the store? What happens if someone asks me something, do I answer? How do checkouts work? Any help appreciated, thanks!

I'm in a similar pickle OP, I'm going to a cocoa/chocolate themed restaurant this weekend with my gf and I can't decide what to order it all looks too good so any help would be appreciated...

‘Ground Provision’ Roti
Our spin on this traditional St Lucian staple. Homemade cacao-nib wrap filled with ground provision vegetables, slowly cooked in curried coconut sauce, cocoa pilau rice, sweet potato ribbons, raita, green leaf salad. All veggie, fish or chicken.
(Ground Provisions - West Indian for vegetables grown in the ground.)

Vegetable Roti (V) - £12.00
Fish Roti - £14.00
Chicken Roti - £14.00

Cocoa Beer Brined Pork Belly
Slow-cooked in its own juices, with white beans, broad beans, garlic mash and cocoa-mint sauce.

£16.00

The Roast+Conch Hamburger (Chilli or Regular)
Chef Bentham’s recipe with hand-chopped rump steak and a twist of cocoa. All the trimmings – cocoa beer onion confit, Montgomery aged cheddar, crisp dry cure bacon – all in a homemade ‘cocoa pod’ bread bun, with sweet potato ribbons and onion rings.

£15.00

The Boucanier Salad
Rare seared Tuna with green leaves and herbs, cocoa pesto, soft poached egg, sweet corn spiced potatoes, roast garlic cacao aioli, flat nib bread. The signature salad from Boucan in St Lucia.

With Tuna - £17.00
Without Tuna (V) - £12.00

Mac & Cheese Pie (V)
A weekend must-have all over the West Indies. Our interpretation is made with leeks, wild mushrooms, Barber's 1833 Vintage cheddar and truffle-cocoa oil, all in a cacao-nib crust. Tomato relish, mixed herb leaf salad. V

£13.00

4-Hour Lamb Pepperpot
An original from the indigenous cocoa-worshipping people of Central America and West Indies, the Amerindians. Gentle, warming spices with chopped vegetables, gravy and beer stick bread (simply twist the stick and dip away).

£16.00

Trini Platter
Trinidad, the island that gave us Trinitario cocoa, also created a melting pot of Indian and creole food, which spread through the islands. A tasting platter of three distinct spiced classics – fragrant aubergine, sweet potatoes and cauliflower, red bean dahl. Crispbread, cocoa rice and cooling raita. V

£13.00

Creole Fish
Best fish of the moment, pan-fried in bacon-flour with sweet potato purée and peanut curry sauce.

£17.00

Garden Tagliatelle
Slow roast tomatoes, cocoa butter-roasted garlic confit, warm spiced aubergine, cocoa pesto tagliatelle. V

£13.00

Cocoa Marinated Rib Eye of Beef
Locally reared 28-day aged beef, matured and marinated in cocoa nibs, with sautéed spinach, ground provision gratin, cocoa nib and rum pepper sauce. A dish from our Boucan restaurant in Saint Lucia.

Rib Eye - £25.00 Fillet - £30.00

Cod Fillet One-Pot
Prepared in the traditional one-pot method used in the villages around our cocoa estate, capturing all the subtle flavours, with new potatoes, butternut squash, green figs, spring onions and cocoa-mint condiment. GF

£17.00

I only shop at stores where I have spent a day of fieldwork mapping product locations. Another tip is to use the self-checkout to avoid having to interact with humans.

2 Heads of Fresh uncut broccoli
Cream or Half&Half
Sea Salt
Ground Cumin


Boil broccoli in a large stock pot until its super soft. Drain the excess green water into another container. Use a hand blender to get all the broccoli to a smooth consistency. Add cream or half&half, seasalt, and Ground cumin to flavor the "broccoli dough". Add the excess green water to the "broccoli dough" until its a nice soupy texture.

Thats how you make some bad rear end, kickbutt, awesome broccoli soup.

It can keep in the fridge for up to a week. You can also skip turning the broccoli dough into soup and pan fry it or deep fry it. Broccoli Pakora anyone?!

Do you think olive oil is not pure fat or something? Do you know what oil is? Are you using olive oil like a high smoke point cooking oil? Lol.

Olive oil has a really low smoke point and there are plenty of instances where butter works better than olive oil. You can't drizzle butter on a salad, it's true, but French toast made in olive oil is pretty bullshit.

It's good to have a selection of fats for different uses.
Rice bran and coconut oil for high temperature frying
Olive for salads, drizzling and low temperature cooking
Butter for baking and some frying applications
Bacon drippings for popcorn and green beans

If your olive oil does not have a harvest date chances are it's years old and has long ago lost it's health benefits. If it does have a harvest date, you have to use it wihin the year to actually get anything out of it. Maybe learn about your ingredients before you start spouting bullshit like an amateur.

I believe a potato ricer is the correct implement to make hashbrowns with. Using a ricer is fun but you'll have to be comfortable with being a blatant rice-ist.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
Shopping for food is so girly, as an alpha male I simply reproduce with thousands of women a year then feed directly off the life force of my endless spawn.
