Trastion posted:I had this happen last year and when I went to downgrade at the service desk they ended up just taking what I had and gave me another year of executive. So was not really a loss to re-up again. I also didn't have quite a full year of executive last year so maybe i will pay back more this year. Yeah this is a thing that they will do. You just need to go to the membership desk and talk to them about it before renewing. If you do nothing and renew at the checkout, they'll make you pay the whole $120 to renew on executive since they can't downgrade you at the register.

I went to Costco yesterday and noticed that they have the nice, quilted double-ply Kirkland toilet paper in the bathrooms. Truly a blessed place.

After the disaster that was the Scots brand half ply tp my wife got last year at Costco, I bought the nice kirklands stuff. It lasted probably half as long though, and my wife is considering switching back. Save me brothers.

When I die, bury me in a Costco coffin. Two weeks later, dig it up and take it back. Let's see just how good their return policy really is.

I'm sure I'm gonna feel like a dumb-dumb when I get the answer, but is 'Nando's' a thing? Like a food joint or a sauce company? E: I did the effort to google it; it's a chicken chain; guess I never heard of it because the assload of local Peruvian chicken joints probably blocked them out LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Feb 20, 2019 |

Nando’s in Canada is in a weird spot where it isn’t a proper restaurant but it’s not cheap like most fast food either. The chicken is alright but nothing amazing from when I tried it. The peri peri sauce is definitely the best thing about it.

You can get a few different Nando's sauces in the hot sauce aisle at Kroger (and presumably ralph's and all the other names kroger goes by) but they're pretty small bottles. I go through that stuff fast when I have some around. The XX-tra hot is a fav.

I'd buy the little bottles at Whole Foods, which were p much the same price as the giant 1L bottle; XXtra hot and the garlic one were fantastic. I'm honestly kind of bamboozled learning they're a chain restaurant; I just assumed it was just the brand name of the sauce.

It’s a good chain restaurant! They’re more fast casual than fast food, like El Pollo Loco but... classier? And much tastier.

FWIW I love El Pollo Loco. You can somewhat legitimately eat healthy there. Also my local one is an insanely well oiled machine and everyone there is super nice.

durrneez posted:It’s a good chain restaurant! They’re more fast casual than fast food, like El Pollo Loco but... classier? And much tastier. Yeah, it's pretty decent. The quality of the chicken isn't amazing, but the peri peri sauce makes up for it. I have to go to London a couple of times a year for work, so I make sure to stop by Nandos at least once a year just for the sauce.

British TV taught me the phrase "cheeky Nandos". I'm excited about how I can actually try some of that "cheeky Nandos" without having to go across the pond.

im honestly surprised to see so much Nandos love. I was in NZ for work for 3 months and we tried a Nandos there after hearing people hype it up and I thought it was pretty terrible. It was vaguely a tad pricey, the chicken sucked, and i was super disappointed in the sauces. they mostly just tasted like vinegar+salt + nebulous varying degrees of "heat" without other much nuanced flavors to go with it. and ive had other peri peri seasoning and hot sauces before that were good maybe it was just that NZ franchise? id have to imagine all their sauces are the same everwhere though...

I'm with you though, it's nothing special. It was hyped up pretty good before launch here too. I found it really expensive for what you got both quantity and quality.

They're in restaurants everywhere here in Seattle and I don't get it, they're not good.

Bonache I agree with, but the regular Secret Aardvark habanero has a delicious flavor even if it's not that spicy. One of the reasons I love to go to the Cyclops, so I can pour that on everything.

Costco's dishwasher tablets are not good, unfortunately. They leave the inside of my dishwasher with a white film. We switched to whatever fancy brand Costco carries, and now that thing is gleaming.

They're in restaurants everywhere here in Seattle and I don't get it, they're not good. So the main reason I listed SA is because it's now widely available to many people nation-wide; has a very good flavor profile that isn't just nebulous salt+heat; and fairly affordable as far as hot sauce rabbit holes go. I think SA Haberano is really quite tasty and versatile in application (their other flavors are trash though). We had a hot sauce shop near my apartment and have definitely bought many better ones but they're also like twice or 3x the price, obscure to find, and sometimes less versatile for applications. I would say SA is the not-too-much-more-expensive upgrade to a lot of the generic "bad hot" sauces that most people are used to nation-wide. There are definitely better ones, but for the availability and price while having flavor that appeals to lot of people across tastebuds? I have to say I think SA is kind of king in that territory for now. Xaris fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Feb 21, 2019 |

I'm definitely not arguing that I don't like Secret Aardvark because it has no heat, but that to me it has no remarkable flavor. I re-try it every time I run into it and am confused at its popularity each time. I'm definitely a condiment person and always looking for something to add, this just isn't it. But hey, more Secret Aardvark for the rest of you!
