I’m actually not a fan of Costco’s poutines. They use the crispy fries. For a real poutine you need those real patates frites, like the kind you get from a guy named Serge in a stained wife beater with a chronic smoker’s cough, selling them out of an old bus on the side of a highway.

I normally don’t like the poutine with those fries but the costco poutine with the crispy fries is extremely my jam. Soooo much cheese curds too, I love it.

drat I gotta go have some this week now.

I don’t know if they do it in korea now but last time I got a dog they asked if I want onions or sauerkraut and handed me a small cup of onions.

Putting that poo poo on lockdown!

Also it may be haram to discuss other companies but the veggie hot dogs they got at ikea are pretty goddamn tasty I discovered. Different food tier from costco dogs but real good with the mustard, pickled cabbage and onion crisps.

Last time I went to Ikea, the hot dog was bullshit. I could microwave one better at home. They were standard grocery store fare prepared badly, and the only condiments they had were ketchup, mustard, sugary relish, and loving mayonnaise.

And all their soft drinks were diet aspartame garbage.

I actually kinda like the lemon fizzy water. And the hotdogs were never good they were just cheap without the shame of having 10 more in the fridge you could never bring yourself to eat. But the veggie dog was legit good, I will definitely just get these instead of the chicken ones when my kids want froyo next time we go to ikea (I hate froyo)

We got a coupon book from Costco the other day, and my boyfriend seems very interested in the bidet toilet seat they had on the first page.

My mother in law has those or similar on all her toilets and everyone in my family is too scared to use them except for my three year old, who loves it. Unfortunately now it means when at home she needs a full bathtub wash after dropping a deuce, nothing else will do!

Mother in law bought one for us but it was the wrong bowl shape or something and didn’t fit so be aware if your bf takes the plunge! :haw:

There really needs to be a Costco Bar and Restaurant, preferably a sports bar and strip club. $20 gets you thighs and legs in bulk.

If anyone has been to one of the Don Cherry sports bars in Ontario (do those exist anymore?) that is what I picture a costco bar would be like.

Yah lots of accounts in Canada at least have either monthly flat fee and/or minimum account balance with only a few included transactions at the big ripoff banks.

These accounts suck but people do have em :shrug:

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.

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've tried two franchises in the Vancouver, BC area and one was good and the other was awful, so they probably do have a lot of variance..

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.

Mind elaborating on why you hate yours? New dad to a now 2 month old and ours seems to be doing just fine. Guess my only complaint is the loud snap it makes from the spring when I hit the end of the bags and need to install a replacement. My wife got some off-brand refills from Target that we haven't gotten to yet. I also kind of wish the bags could fill up the container more instead of being a long rear end snake.

Boy I just realized how much I freaking love the Marinated Artichoke Hearts and 4-Bean Salad from Costco.. I can't seem to find the bean salad at ANY of the grocery stores I usually frequent. I load up my salads with them and the artichokes a lot lately!

All Hail Costco

edit: fuuuck re-reading this post, laughing at how old af I sound...

I really hate how it will snag on the edges which are very sharp, and how the plastic thing will break easily. Mostly due to user error because my wife is hella lazy and leaves it to me to empty so it can get so over filled something breaks.

But mostly I don’t like it because it ties you into buying the drat refills when it is really only marginally better than a regular garbage pail you empty regularly.

And yet we still use it!!

I've been saying this for a while but if you do any amount of serious cooking, you should be making your own rotisserie chicken stock every couple of weeks or so. Using your own stock WILL take your cooking to the next level, and it's basically free with how cheap the Costco chickens are.

Do you use a pressure cooker for that? I heard that is the OP way.
