Pretty much the entire Dollar Tree shopping experience can be summed up as "eh, why not. It's only a dollar".

But yeah, getting food there can be a huge gamble. And not just the actual perishable stuff in the freezer section, once I bought a 3-liter of their :911: Stars & Stripes :911: cola that for whatever reason didn't actually have any sweetener in it so it was just bitter caramel-colored sludge. Or the fact that a lot of their food has trans fats out the wazoo.

I want to see a documentary on the entire supply chain involved with dollar store food. I have a feeling it would be fascinating in a depressing and disgusting sorta way.

I imagine that outside of the meat products and a couple other questionable items it actually isn't all that gross(heck was at a 99 cent store today, and most of the food they were selling was decent looking(although I didn't know that Cauliflower could come in orange...)

The point of an Americano is to have the creama resting at the top, which is why the shot is poured from the machine into the water. This pisses me off enormously.

I know it's from the last page but I find this very strange. Here in NZ a Long Black has the coffee poured on to the water so that the crema rests at the top, and an Americano has the coffee poured first and the water on top, breaking the crema.

It occurred to me after that post that other people seem to do this differently. I've never gotten an Americano in Canada that wasn't served like a Long Black, and I usually do a double shot in the same amount of water. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but no one has ever complained.

What really shakes it up is that sometimes they get actual good name-brand food. Like when Jack Links redesigned their packaging they unloaded their old stock onto Dollar Tree so for a buck you could get a full-sized bag of sweet, sweet beef jerky in every flavor under the sun. A lot of As Seen On TV stuff unloads there too, I still use the Stone Wave cooker I got from there to poach an egg or cook a whole onion every now and then.

But then you get something like canned lobster bisque in packaging that's just a level above Repo Man's white background with blue text and you start questioning your faith in humanity.

So, this is pretty AFP, but we have a lot of hotdog stands here, and my favourite toppings are (in this order): honey, mustard, diced onions, sauerkraut, bacon bits, jalapenos and then I go back for more sauerkraut. Go make one. It's officially called a Cash Crab now.

Is that an accidental common in-between "honey" and "mustard?" Please don't tell me you put straight honey on a hotdog, that sounds nasty as hell.

I got curious and looked up what the hell that's from. Apparently it was a "pop-up dinner", I guess where the chefs just show up for an event for a few hours and serve food to whoever shows up. The idea was to reimagine junk food as an expensive 7-course tasting menu with exotic ingredients. They even gave diners crayons and placemats with word search puzzles.

Pop-Up Restaurants are popular in the "fancy" places in Aus atm. Basically they are restaurant spaces, with kitchens and the like installed, that are either currently vacant or empty for this purpose. Groups will rent them out for 1 night or a weekend to serve a particular kind of food to who ever turns up and pays. Typically there are no reservations, no menus and it's fist come first served. Prices also vary from dirt cheep for very high quality food, to about the same as a normal restaurant. They are popular with the trendy foodie crowds because they are non-standard and therefore cool. I have heard that big name chefs and/or restaurants will run them in addition to their main restaurant to test out new experimental dishes and ideas; which is why there put them out so cheaply because it's a big field test disguised as a special event.

A Cash Crab is

1) Straight Honey

2) Mustard

3) Sauerkraut

4) Bacon

5) Jalapenos

6) More sauerkraut

I put all of that, minus bacon on some naan because that's what was on the counter, and I enjoyed it. Tastes like a bunch of delicious things mashed together, and that works for me.

e: I skimped on the more sauerkraut bit, because there wasn't much left, and I wasn't sure if the jalapeños and onions were supposed to be cooked. Are they normally cooked when on hot dogs?

Who gives a poo poo, you wash it thoroughly in a nearby pool of stagnant water before you eat it to get it clean, the bread really isn't your biggest concern at that point

Not normally, but they can be if you want to get fancy

Also, why is the future obsessed with bacon

I'd actually say no on cooking the onions, since everything is already so squishy (esp. if washed in the river). As for bun, yes, regular white bun.
