Ours had containers of raw tuna poke regularly two years ago. Spicy and regular. I used to grab a couple avocados and make sushi rice and it was a great dinner. Must not have sold well here.

Lutha Mahtin posted:unrelated question: does costco try and source slavery-free shrimp, or no Except for the few times I’ve been able to buy shrimp directly from the hands of independent shrimpers, I don’t know if I’ve actually seen shrimp untouched by enslaved hands. It’s a real bummer. However, on Costco’s terribly-designed website, there’s an “ethics” page where they detail how they’re going through their whole supply chain to eliminate products tainted by slavery and/or prison labor. That is a huge amount of supply chain.

You have not known shrimp until you’ve bought them, still wriggling, from a wooden semi-structure on the side of a road, weighed out by the wizened hands of someone currently smoking a cigarette. E: the shrimp must be stored on gas station ice in a styrofoam cooler no less than 5 years old, I don’t make the rules but I respect them.

I am biased because we have two pigs butchered every year out of my family's heritage breed hogs and frankly if I were going to eat pig, it would be those. Alas, I will not suck the hog.

StormDrain posted:Again, wrong. The Lone Tree, Littleton and Fort Collins ones have liquor in store (featuring name brands and Kirkland Signature, liquor wine and beer) as well. I've been there and purchased there. CO Springs apparently does but I haven't been there before. if its anything like kansas, the alcohol/liqour laws are by county. I live in the most liberal county in kansas and we've only been able to buy ANY alcohol at all on Sunday since like... 4? 5 years ago? before that we were dry Sundays. Lots of counties are still "dry" here. If you go to a small town you might only be able to get a drink if you manage to get membership at a "club" or "dinner club". You can only drink if you have extra money to spend for a membership. Praise Jesus. [edit] I rescind my previous remark, I guess we are down to a handful of dry counties statewide now. quote:According to a map put together by the Kansas Department of Revenue, only eight counties of 105 in Kansas remain dry: Meade, Gray, Haskell, Stanton, Wallace, Sheridan, Jewell and Clay.

The Littleton location StormDrain mentioned is across the street from me. It does sell liquor, and is weirdly in Denver county, like my home. Denver has odd little tentacles going into the 'burbs.

You can try smaller amounts (with higher prices in terms of $/oz) by ordering from tienda.com. Jamon Iberico is absolutely delicious and way better than serrano ham. It's more oily and flavorful. I'm not sure I'd buy an entire leg of it though just for myself. edit: VVV nevermind at $250 for a whole ham, i'd seriously consider it silence_kit fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Sep 26, 2021 |

Jamon Iberico is the thing dreams are made of, and something I always eat too much of when I'm in Spain. The problem with buying an entire leg of it is that as the old thread title used to say, it's a lot of meat to put in you

Has anyone tried those frozen korean fried seaweed rolls? They look like they could be good, but I'm suspicious of how they would turn out after being cooked. And have the Bitchin' tubs been made smaller? Whack if true.

It's transportation bottlenecks now, not manufacturing from what I've heard. Not enough trucks to get the product out. Between Covid, and Texas snowpocalypse earlier this year I now stockpile the poo poo out of things now.

That was fast, there was a 1 per cardholder sign yesterday for paper and water. Seems like a good idea to have a spare megapack in general in storage or a closet somewhere. I don't know how long you can make a 24 pack of TP last but 2-3 months should be long enough for any shortages to end or to just get lucky if you get there early morning and are able to grab a pack

I went yesterday and got 1 pack each of paper towels, toilet paper, and bottled water. They had plenty of all of them at my store, at least, but it was also limited to 1 per customer.

If it's the soft Charmin, just be prepared to be linty forever. Went to church for worship today and got a rotisserie chicken for my partner and a fuckload of those tiny cucumbers for me because I'm going to make refrigerator pickles with them. Also grabbed another pack of toilet paper and paper towels for the shelter. They have fifty pound bags of flour and sugar back in stock but I'm good for a minute. Did also purchase the Kirkland vodka because while it tastes bad on its own, it makes good vanilla extract if you don't have the bourbon, and they did not. Not even the Kirkland brand. Just, no bourbon at all.
