Went last week and they had a 2 jar pack of sliced jalapeños. Never saw that before at my location, amazing. I've had spicy poops all week. I need to go back today and get more.

Brisket is good but too messy and drippy for Costco eating. Hopefully we get the burger soon.

Just grabbed a rotisserie chicken fresh out of the oven. We were all standing there like savages waiting for her to box them up.

Yeah I bought the sleep aid a few weeks ago. I usually have unisom in the house and have taken 3-4 at a time and still been awake and not able to sleep. It's supposed to be the same active ingredient but I took 2 of the Costco ones and passed out like a loving rock in like 30 min.

The giant pot pie has to be hit or miss or something. I only got it once on thanksgiving to save me some work cooking and it was loving awesome. No grease at all, flaky delicious crust all over the top and sides.

Yeah vegetarians are totally loving stupid. I’m not a total fuckhead that thinks you need to eat meat for every meal. I think it’s actually really smart to cut back vastly on meat just for health reasons and lessening the carbon footprint. Even if you hardly ever eat meat or basically not at all. To say that you will never eat a burger ever again under any circumstances is really loving stupid. Why create these “rules” to live by? So you can label yourself as something and feel like you belong?

You can never plan on eating meat and that’s great good for you. But your gonna totally rule it out and say that you’ll never ever touch a meat of any type again? Who gives a gently caress if 20 years from now you eat a chicken wing at an office party or a kids birthday. Or a goddamn shrimp or something, like get the gently caress over yourself.

Seriously! Everyone owes it to themselves to try al pastor tacos. You gotta go to multiple places though, don’t just try one and think that’s it. Some places it’s amazing, others it’s just “good”.

Decided to get one of the chicken pot pies tonight, and it was amazing. Giant chunks of chicken, lots of veggies, and the crust came out perfectly browned. A+++, would buy again.

Also, it's probably 5 or 6 meals, which makes it an incredible deal.

If it's anything like my allergy med it's $25 a year instead of $40 month at Costco.

Seriously? What the gently caress is up with that? Buying one package of Costco allergy spray pays for my membership easily. It’s like 30$ for 5 rather than 1 for 20$ or some crazy poo poo like that.

I’d like some honest reviews on those please.

Took a while but finally got deep into both bottles. The blend is super smooth and fairly delicious, the single malt is less smooth with a lot more going on flavor wise but more bite. Between me and a buddy we both preferred the 27 year blend overall because of the smoothness.

All in all not bad for 55$, although I think a bottle of balvenie doublewood is probably still better. The good part about that is Costco is carrying the doublewood now for like 50$. So I’ll know for sure on my next scotch purchase.

Now I’ve been drinking scotch for years but I still wouldn’t try to act like I have any clue what I’m talking about. Usually for me I feel like I can tell a major difference from a 20-30$ bottle vs a 50-60$ bottle. When you go from the 50-60$ to the 120$ bottles the differences are much more subtle if at all. I haven’t bought a 100+ bottle yet that I felt like I enjoyed more than a bottle of doublewood. So take my no-class opinion with a grain of salt.

The blend was real good though.

I believe it’s 2 cheese slices positioned into a square and wrapped around a dog. You should probably deep fry it.

Green Label is $75 at the local big liquor chain. The regular $45 Costco price is already a steal. Getting it under $39 is a goddamn miracle.

I had green a while back and didn’t think it was worth the price. I’d try a whole bottle again for 38$ though.

As someone who's just looking to get into scotch, the size of that is a little intimidating haha. I just picked up the Balvenie 12 year for $50 and I'm really enjoying it.

Balvenie is amazing, the Kirkland is legit decent.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:

Here's a hot take, bitching because a Scotch is blended doesn't make you more sophisticated. This obsession with single malt is just a stupid whisky snob thing from when you could get a really good or a really bad bottle depending on the malt you chose. Master distillers are able to create rich tapestries of interesting flavors in blended scotches more readily than a single origin whisky could on its own (cognac in particular is another spirit where the blend gets you the depth of flavor).

Also holy poo poo this obsession with peat flavor - I agree that none is bad, a little is good but more reaches the point of diminishing returns and you get to these bog monsters that taste like you're drinking liquid smoke and chewing on dirt: it will absolutely and utterly overpower every other subtle taste in the distillate. It's why the obsession with increasingly hoppy IPAs doesn't make you a beer connoisseur; you just learn to like literally one (initially unpalatable) flavor and your palate is totally absent beyond that. Learning to like something that has one strong flavor isn't a sign of sophistication.

Many of the blended whiskys are among the best in the world and it has nothing to do with marketing.

God example of this was the Kirkland 28 year blend vs the 21 year single malt. Both were solid but the 28 year blend blew it away in smoothness and flavor. Usually when I get a single malt I end up disappointed one way or another. Where blends are consistently solid. My personal favorite one right now is the Balvenie doublewood. Since getting married and having a kid I don’t really buy expensive booze anymore. So I tend to get a bottle I know I’m gonna love rather than experimenting with the more expensive ones.
