I remember getting those because they seemed very cheap, I thought it was like 3 or 4 for the bunch and I checked the tag to make sure it was by bunch rather than pound, but maybe I'm not remembering things right

They are from Walmart
cool. like a bog standard walmart, or a walmart neighborhood market grocery store?

e: also raton, you're the fluffy ponies guy right? I keep mistaking the other guy for you, the one with the similar username to your old name

IMO they have a mild additional flavor that is kind of like asparagus but without the asparagus pee stink thing

They're the superior onion option for most stews

It's a normal walmart, it didn't use to have groceries in it but they added them some years ago. They don't always have leeks.

I don't know who I am it's fine

Chinese grocery I used to go to had a lotta different choy

Shanghai choy
Bok choy
Double choy

Different kinds of little cabbage things

Main drawback was that you paid by weight and when you washed them off at home you realized about half your money had gone into sand purchases

They also had a wall of fishtanks and a guy with a sloped eye and an IQ of about 75 who wore a rubber apron and would dispatch and scale your chosen fish in a brutal noncaring way

My local grocery store recently hosed up and ordered too much sirloin tips so they were selling them for $5.50/pound, when they normally sell for $11-12/pound.

Tripe is super good in soups, like have you guys never had pho?

Dunno if I'd cook with it myself but there are a couple noodle places around here that have really good tripe based soups.

I had pho a billion times but I don't get the tripe in it

Tendon is fine

Tripe is not good

Brisket and tripe pho obviously.

Tendon is good but I feel like I usually find it in thicker stews.
