Jamón de Serrano trip report: tastes much different from any other cured meat I’ve tried, but I like it. This is fortunate because it’s going to take me weeks to work through it.

Don't want to put you off your ham, but if you start seeing tiny tiny bugs on it, don't panic and throw it out the window. It is quite normal and expected for a jamon to get these and you either ignore them and eat away (like my dad) or wipe them off + plus give the top slice to your dad (me). https://erikras.com/2014/12/05/spanish-ham-mites-entomology-and-jamon-iberico/

As Costco membership is worldwide, we brought my wife's card back with us from Korea to see what the local branch was like. Kind've weird to see the little regional differences (Eg. At Leeds you can get a platter of sushi rolls, but not sashimi like in Seoul). Although we didn't buy a whole lot this first trip, we plan to make more infrequent trips once we get a hold on what we need. Some stuff was an absolute steal though (24x500ml bottles of water for 2.49). We were a little worried there wasn't a food court at first, because half the reason to go was to get a dog and try the chicken bake. But it was tucked away in a little section with the tables. Chicken bake was good, but there was no onion dispenser, the server just asked if you wanted your dog with or without. Got a bbq chicken pizza to take out for dinner (and breakfast), which was pretty decent for the price. PBUC Edit for Jamon chat: one of the local supermarkets had jamon legs for sale last xmas at something like ~£30. Didn't bother getting one for one reason or another. By New Year they were on sale for ~£20. By the end of January, with only a month on their use by date left, they were down to ~£10. I ate a whole lotta jamon in February.

Thinking about picking up a few months supply of daily contact lenses at Costco, any positive/negative experiences over ordering them off a shady website?

Is that dancing sensation on your tongue flavor or bugs? You decide. I'd still eat it.

So I tried the chicken bake hotdog thing, only with a bunless Italian sausage. Insertion did not go well. Tasted okay, but I'm sticking with my usual hotdog or combo slice.

Does anyone frequent Costcos in San Jose? If so, what is the best Costco? Which is the best for ethnic options? Really hoping someone can help me out here. I love San Jose and work there, but I commute over so I don't really feel like going to all of the different Costcos to see which one is best.

durrneez posted:And poo poo it out all the time I think so, to a point. The instructions with the one I got stated that it should be covered in a little oil to help keep it from spoiling between uses, and it had a muslin cloth bag to put it in. But even with that, you start to notice the odd bit of discolouration or small white dots of mold forming, though apparently that's normal. Still, I ate the lot within a month, and didn't die. Would do again. Pro-tip: when you get bored of doing it properly and making wafer thin slices, just cut a 1/4-1/2 inch thick slab off and gently fry it like a gammon steak.

Greetings from the past. almost one year to be exact; this is how far behind I am on this thread Since it is cold and I had $70 in rebate cash that I never got around to using, I made the holy pilgrimage to my (new to me since I moved) local Costco, which praise be, is far less busier than the Costco I used to frequent and purchased the most sacred of items: I look forward to submitting myself to its warm embrace tonight also don't buy those nut bars, they are wicked bad in conclusion, Argyle posted:Once inside my local Costco, while I wandered, not quite lost, though

olives black posted:not sure if anyone's said this yet but NEVER buy Kirkland beer My father in law is a 70 year old machinist who is still working. He will drink almost any old lovely beer. Normal fare in his house is Old German or Pabst, although he will also enjoy some micros if my wife is ordering for him (he's deaf and communicating with waitstaff can be difficult, so often he will just say he'll have whatever you are having). When I walk into one of his regular drinking spots with him, the owner says, "HI BOB! YOU WANT HAMM OR BUSCH?!" He tried to make me take a case of Kirkland beer from him because he didn't like the taste. After trying one, I refused. He ended up throwing it away.
