I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They're all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.
Someone gave me a Hello Fresh gift code. It doesn’t fully cover the large meal plan so I have the choise of paying 5 bucks extra or taking the smaller deal and leaving money in the table
You’re not leaving money on the table if you take the smaller deal. If you buy the large meal plan, you were successfully manipulated into buying something you wouldn’t have considered otherwise.
Ricotta isn’t a block cheese that you can buy pre-shredded like cheddar. It’s a pretty wet cheese and is usually sold in tubs in your basic markets, kind of like cottage cheese.
I’ve made obscene amounts of home make macaroni and cheese over the last 20+ years and haven’t had a problem with it. I know it’s a funny place some people get passionate about, but the “anti-clumping agents” are typically some form of vegetable starch or fiber. If I’m making a cheese sauce I’m already using flour to help thicken and stabilize it anyway, so I don’t think the trace amounts really matter.
It matters more, in my opinion, for stuff like pizza because there isn’t already flour. The melting is noticeably different between shredded mozz and a block of low-moisture you cut or shredded yourself. But for cheese sauces and stuff I agree there isn’t really a difference
It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as “72 regular rolls” when it’s only 12 physical rolls.
I feel like it’s more rooted in racism than actually foods. Plenty of other cuisines have more fiber and more spices. Mexican isn’t really special in its ingredients or it’s preps.
Then why specific hate for mexican? I really can’t come with any answer than racism.
Internet is weird. Some stereotypes and racism are easily accepted and considered funny.
Yea Im pretty sure all the people who talk about mexican food and tacobell giving them shits just have shit diets. Ive never had these problems either.
Even Taco Bell doesn’t usually give me the shits, unless I drink soda from one of those nasty ass dispensers fast food joints regularly neglect cleaning.
There were some social media posts about taco bell management telling workers to still serve the food that was marked as expired, so the shits might be compromised food ingredients.
This is a real risk at pretty much any fast food place and plenty of regular restaurants. Gotta keep an eye on how the management runs stuff (or just make your own food).
Since COVID we have made 99% of our food from scratch (i.e. making my own thai curry paste from scratch, grinding my own spices, etc)…I’m now almost always very disappointed by meals outside the home…especially with the price hikes.
As a long-time IBS sufferer, I’m always happy to see memes about getting the shits, because it makes me feel less alone.
Since everything seems to fuck my stomach up, I eat mexican food all the time. If I’m going to spend my evening on the toilet, I may as well enjoy myself!
From personal experience, the green and red sauce causes me problems. Even Chipotle’s red and green sauce affects me, so it’s not about the cheap or expired stuff. Just my body rejecting it. Anything spicy does me in, but not all spices or hot spice.
The point is imagining that others would look up to you*
*While in reality, literally not a single person on earth gives even the tiniest fuck about you wasting money on a useless, annoyingly noisy and wasteful fucking car. Exceptions are 5 year olds and people who never exceeded that intellectual level.
I went to some hipster restaurant and got a fried chicken sandwich. The piece of chicken was… weird, about the size and shape of a baseball. Perfect in the outside but the inside was kind of wobbly like thick jello. I’m not sure who tf deep fries a 4 inch thick piece of chicken and doesn’t just cut it in two.
Also one time we went to this Mexican restaurant and the beef in the tacos was clearly soft and pink like it had barely been cooked at all. They told us it was their “seasoning” that made it look like that…
While the lack of mexican food in large parts of japan is indeed tragic, the fact that you can go to any countryside izakaya (pub/restaurant) and get bottomless beers and whiskey sodas for 2 hours for like 20 bucks means that the fancy toilets are getting explosive diarrhea on a regular basis.
My guess is it’s the cholula, or Taco Bell, or ordering deep fried chimichangas, or other Tex-Mex, most freshly made authentic mexican food is simple ingredients that should definitely not cause someone to have the shits
yeah, but their taco bell kind of sucks major ass because they don’t have access to the same ingredients, or something along those lines, I can’t quite remember.
It wouldn’t surprise me. Japan does rice and beef very well. But tomatoes and lettuce are far less common in Asia. I’m actually traveling to Japan early next year at some point. Will try Taco Bell and report back
Tell me whether or not they have any good black bean tacos. I’m interested in their bean variety, because I’m not sure to what extent they have the same beanage as over here. I have to expect that they have some level, as otherwise you’d get no bean paste pastries, no miso soup bean stock, yadda yadda. I expect a full report on my desk by may 2024.
Some people are sensitive to an enzyme in beans as well, I’m blanking on what it’s called atm. But I’m a vegetarian that eats beans like 3-5 times a week and my poops are legendary the day after eating them. Lentils too, to a lesser degree
I lack that enzyme genetically. I am allergic to alcohol, and so when my stomach can’t digest beans corn, or even eggs, they sit in my intestines, start to ferment, and I am in a world of hurt.
But good shits are the point. Fiber takes on water in your gut which increases the volume of the shit in question and it makes them super soft or lose shape entirely. Pretty much all my shits are like that because of my high fiber intake.
Man, it ain’t the beans, it’s the peppers and/or spices.
Seriously, I’m not fucking with you. Beans are great insoluble fiber, and they reduce the effect of the other ingredients to some degree. This is a widely used way for IBS sufferers to reduce the impact of the effect. Extra beans, as long as you aren’t sensitive to the beans themselves (which is a thing), or added dairy (again, if that isn’t a trigger for you), and doubling up the tortillas all help to some degree.
If the dish is also fatty, that’s going to end in your end not ending well. Since what a lot of people think of as “Mexican” tends to be like what you get at Chipotle or Taco Bell, the fattiness is assumed.
I eat hella hot sauce and peppers and… yeah. They’ll do that to you. My mouth is fine with any amount of spice but when it contacts any other part of my body (or I inhale a tiny bit!) I realize holy shit, this stuff is caustic.
I can see how I insinuated that taco bell is Mexican food, but I don’t actually think taco bell is Mexican food. Far from it. But it’s been memed for like 15+ years that taco bell gives you life-altering shits.
I seriously remember seeing this in high school as early as '07, but I’m sure it was probably going around before then.
I live in the OKC metro and if you’re looking for real Mexican food here, you’re pretty spoiled for choice. I won’t suggest we have the drop on Mexican food, but you can find some really great places here without having to look hard. Taco Bell is great because the food actually tastes pretty good and there are like four within a five minute drive of my house.
