This thread is super interesting. I kind of want to try these things out.

One question: what is berry soup? What makes it different from fruit juice or a smoothie?

There is no comparison between Maruchan and Nissin. Nissin is lowest possible effort all the way.

Nissin is much saltier than Maruchan.

Sometimes people with large secondary fridges in their garage or basement obtain a large amount of meat from a single animal.

I'm always very jealous of these people.

Yeah, "best by" means exactly that. Probably safe to eat unless something has obviously turned.

It's just assumed that people will have consumed it by the "best by" date.

This was notable enough for the inclusion of a note inside the package that basically read, 'marines, this package has been specifically designed to meet your nutritional needs. DO NOT TRADE ITEMS WITH OTHER PEOPLE'.

What is up with his accent? I can't place it.

So, like, how many bones are we talking about here with these fish? Every time I think eating bones my mind goes to ortolans.

I have to confess I've never tried this stuff, and I'm not entirely against it... but there is some trepidation.

A bottom-barrel supermarket chain that cuts prices to the bone by paying their workers like crap and never cleaning the store.

That must be why it's so hard to get hired there, just like at Trader Joe's. I wonder... is there a connection there somewhere?

He said, knowingly.

Plinkey posted:

They are such fine/(mushy I guess) bones that you don't even realize they have bones unless you go looking for them.

Like the difference between eating worms and snakes if you want to translate it to land-food.

Worms have bones now? :v:

(Also I kind of get it and these kind of fish are on my list of things to get around to trying, thank you for the explanation.)

The branch here pays minimum wage ($8.75, while most of the other chains start at $10.00 or more), keeps getting caught stealing wages, and spends millions campaigning against minimum wage increases. The floor tiles are also black, despite being white when they were installed. This is because they figure out the minimum number of employees needed for the store to function, then hire a quarter as many.

Oh man. What is your general area if you don't mind me asking? Be as vague as you want, outside of country, obviously.

Elmnt80 posted:

The Aldi here pays $15/hr, which is almost double minimum wage. The store is always clean and well cared for too. My impression is this is pretty standard for their stores in the US. They're never short of applications.

The ALDIs in Chicago pay around that, and are impossible to get hired at just like their sister stores, Trader Joe's. Both are pretty dang good.

Sharabit is a fruit-flavored drink of some kind, and fasuliya is mostly beans in tomato sauce.

Sharabit sounds kind of like sherbet. Is it perhaps connected linguistically but diverged somehow, like biscuits and biscotti?

Like, a chilled/iced fruit drink?
