I'll preface this post w/ some context:>I'm a DD fanboy - have drank countless Dunkin' iced coffees>Buy og blend (med roast) ground bags to brew at home whenever I can>Have it down to a science to match the taste as accurately as possible to in-store iced coffee>Bought a bag from Dollar General yesterdayThis morning I brewed my DD from DG & this tastes nothing like Dunkin...It kinda tasted like Folgers.Now I already had a suspicious feeling because the bag didn't have that black plastic "bread tie" thing that DD (and other brands) bags always have. It was just sealed. Is there some shady business deal going on or something wherein DD lets DG put whatever crap coffee they have inside their branded bags? As stated before, I drink a lot of Dunkin & I know their coffee. This was NOT Dunkin coffee. WTF is goin on here?
>>22162416>It's stale.Well it certainly did taste stale, yes. But I've also had stale DD, which I'm still certain this is not.>>22162948>Sometimes major brands do "special product runs" for large retailers.>usually it's just to cheapen the fuck out of the product.Huh, that's interesting. I've only been inside a Costco once in my life, years ago. But there have been products I've bought before where I think, "why does this batch taste so weird?"So what's the purpose of these product runs though? Are they market tests to see how consumers respond to (or see if they even notice) slight ingredient changes—with the end goal to mass-produce that changed formula to cut costs?
>>22163209Check dates. I was at a family dollar (the red one, dollar general being yellow and dollar tree being green) and every single starbucks glass coffee on the shelf was at least a month out of date, some far back as 2024not saying that is what it is, as you said it tastes like folgers and not just stale or old
Probably not a shady “DG puts Folgers in Dunkin bags” situation. Dunkin’s retail coffee is licensed to J.M. Smucker, which manufactures/distributes packaged Dunkin coffee through retailers including dollar stores. It also doesn’t necessarily use the exact same coffee served in Dunkin restaurants.That said, if you drink Dunkin constantly and have your brewing method dialed in, a major taste difference is worth investigating. Different production batches or packaging could potentially explain it.The missing twist tie alone doesn’t prove anything.Check the back for the lot/date code and manufacturer information. If you post photos of the bag, especially the tiny print/code, I can take a closer look.
>>22163448BRO YOU CAN COUNT THE TOES ON ANTS TO FIND THE UPC CODE. BEEP BOOP.
>>22161569>being this much of a no fun dick
>best Japanese dish>is actually Indian I wonder if this hurts their praidu.
>>22159586They don’t care, after all, their Buddhism is also Indian in origin. Also as many have pointed out, Jap curry had a British middleman in bringing it to Japan, and is heavily associated with naval kitchens. The first records of it even call it “navy curry”. And while the British do know how to make good curry (see chicken tikka masala), British naval kitchens aren’t all that preoccupied with making it tasty. It’s a bastardized version of Indian curry that even the British wouldn’t consider appealing.And katsu isn’t Indian. It’s Western in origin, and while cutlets exist in India it’s once again the British who brought them over.>best japanese dishWell-prepared sushi and simple tonkotsu ramen with actual pork bone broth instead of milk both mog katsu curry.
>>22159586Well, it’s their version of the old Royal Navy curry. It’s a bit more watery and has extra ingredients. It’s also gluten heavy which the bong version wasn’t.
>>22159589My starch filled curry flavoured bouillon cube is folded 1000 times
>>22159586>invented by Indian Muslims, not Indian Hindu barbariansJust like butter chicken, the Taj Mahal, and everything else ""good" that people think is "indian" really. But you did invent pic rel.
>>22159940NTA but it definitely tastes more like British gravy/scouse than Indian curry to me.
The big bottle is how you know they'll take care of you.
>>22158080It's been there since before you were born
>>22158080Moar liek>the big bottle is how you know the fried chicken is the only decent thing on the menu because it’s the only thing they ever sellSo I guess it’s a decent sign if I’m looking for fried chicken.
>>22159653Good work. Humiliating the "essential workers" by not giving up your own pre-standing rights definitely helped end the bullshit sooner.
>>22158080You know, I almost never see Tabasco in packets.
Anyone else ever get sad when you seem to hit a ceiling for heat? Where the seemingly hottest thing or something in that league doesn't bother you that much, and if you want anything more extreme your options are very limited

I have 2 quarts of heavy cream, 8 1/4 cups of butter, like 24 eggs, more than enough flour, more than enough sugar, like an entire glass container of maple syrup, 5 lemons, and I desperately need ideas to use them

>>22163482This doesn’t use much butter (and no heavy cream unless you want to whip some) but this Lemon Pudding Cake is pretty cool
Now you can snack and build muscle.
>>22162150I assume you meant whey, and chickpeas don't have close to the cost per gram of protein as whey protein.
>>22163979They are alleging the protein supplement is sourced from insects, not as a matter of efficiency, but as a humiliation.
>>22163073>But now I guess they have to add more?? For reasons???They're trying to make sure the people on the fence about just eating chicken and tuna for bodybuilding nutrient goals actually consider the slop. Can't compete with just 10-15g of mystery protein.
>>22162240Chef Boyardee got married to the Lao Gan Ma lady so he gets a pass
>>2216307326g protein per can is quite a boost from the 10g per can of regular ravioli. Maybe they've been skimping on the meat since the 70s or whenever that ad was published.
Have you ate fried bugs before? Is it good?
>>22151785
>>22153642They slurped them like noodles or crunchy food, that's what you really want, actual food>>22157857I used to feel like I needed meat every meal, but I realized I feel better with a variety of nutrition, so I'm fine eating less meat if paired with something good like chickpeas or lentils, I think that's the trick really. Help people realize they can feel full eating cheaper, and healthy food. The real turn for me was when I got one of those health food bowls with fruit, yogurt, and granola, and I was surprised to feel full and satisfied.
My dad was a truck driver and brought back some cheese-flavored crickets from Nevada. Brought them to the family reunion and we ate them, not because they were good, but because it was fucking hilarious seeing them (mostly women) cringe and gag. Good times.
yeah, but only crushed like a pussy. when i still drank i liked sipping on shots of anejo tequila with orange slices rolled in chili lime chapuline powder.
I don't like eating shells or viscera.I'll eat just about anything if you can properly shell and eviscerate it. But if you aren't doing that much I'm not interested
Colima sea salt is the best in the world. It just works. Thank me later if you try it and forget about any other salt. Ok it's just salt, but easy to use and is like kosher but better.
Remember that fad from ten years ago or so where everything was advertised as being made with pink Himalayan sea salt? When my dad used to get drunk during cookouts you could see Himalayan in the yard. Haha!

Vegan Tips
>>22162120Did you overcook and burn everything to own the haters who say you undercook steak? That "meal" deserved a paper plate ngl og fr fr
>>22162133No. It's mostly medium-rare, some medium. It was an older steak but still well within the window of being tasty without having to cook it well done. The vegetables are perfect. Roasted broccoli just gets dark.One of the best meals I had all week. I don't do anything differently in response to the lame troll.I'm not sure what I posted that made him so spectacularly and loyally mad, but now I'm proud of it. Must have been spot on.
>>22162115yikes. lmao.
OP is not a chef at all. It's pathetic how he tries.
