@guybrush01 With that take, I guess all sauces out there are big bottles of Taco Bell sauce packets? I wanna eat at the Taco Bells you visit.

@bfg9000 I was best before 1988…

@bfg9000 @phendrick
Before current date
I may have been best, but now
I am well-seasoned

@mike808 I don’t think they can actually call it mayonnaise since it’s plant-based. I’m just gonna call it “emulsified oil flavor goop”.

@awk My bad. “flavored vegan mayonnaise”.

@awk @mike808
It can’t be vegan
The people who farm those plants
Have surely suffered

@awk @mike808 @replicacobra Well at least one of them is “Gluten and Vegan Free” so no vegans suffered. Not so sure about the suffering of the farmers.

@eeterrific Now what I was expecting, but cute enough to leave.
Is that how Anna Nicole Smith started out?
[I could do that, at that age, but have a beer gut now, so she better watch out!]

@eeterrific @phendrick
Isn’t she that icky little Honey Boo Boo?

@Kyeh IDK; I watched that show for maybe 5 minutes when it was first on, just to see what the buzz was about. Not since.

@phendrick I haven’t watched it but she was unavoidable for a while on every tabloid cover in the grocery store checkout aisle.

@eeterrific @Kyeh @phendrick yup and she’s still just as fat as her mother was, and has gotten uglier as she aged than a baboon ass, and yet she thinks sexy and has the balls to judge others on their weigh and apperencewho’s even fatter mother is a crackhead who got arrested a year or so ago

-My SO loves the show Mamma June from Not to Hot

If you want to see what I’m talking about find Mama June From Not to Hot on WE On Demand trust me you’ll be entertained by all the stupidity

/giphy baboon ass

@ConcealedPsycho @eeterrific @Kyeh I don’t think that giphy knows primate anatomy.

@Kyeh I tend to ignore those mags completely (except when there is a nearly nude adult female on the cover – e.g., pregnant Demi Moore and at least one Kardasian come to mind.)

@ConcealedPsycho @eeterrific @phendrick Or giphy thinks that monkey is behaving like an ass.

@squishybrain you can probably make your own even better tasting one at home yourself.

I make a lot of my own condiments from BBQ sauce to Dressings

@ConcealedPsycho Aside from just googling it myself, do you have a “go to” source for good condiment recipes? A one-stop-shop, if you will?

@werehatrack
How does your mouth buzz
You say “aioli” aloud
Very round sounding

@j8048188 these are not close to expiration although we are not sure of the exact dating. Samples we received expired November 2022

@j8048188 @troy Yet the photo of the bottle of Bacon Aioli clearly shows (what is presumed to be) an expiration date of 12/02/18, which is 1,033 days ago?

@ELJAY that statement assumes we took the photo today and aren’t using the photos from when this brand was offered ages ago or any from past marketing.

@ExtraMedium Withdrawn…

@troy @ExtraMedium
Might be worth checking
Peek at your inventory
Note the dates on page

@j8048188 I wouldn’t recommend topping your stroopwafels with these condiments.

@awk
Ayy gurrrl let’s get down
After the main course we’ll have
Garnishing squeezes

@mellowirishgent
When you’re discussting
You talk about a gross thing
That is disgusting

@mellowirishgent What makes you think I don’t want to keep people away?

@stolicat
It’s not food it’s squeeze
Don’t do labels around here

@stolicat one can go to the Terrapin Ridge Farm website and see the ingredient and nutrition info for any of these. https://terrapinridge.com/sauces/pesto-aioli-squeeze https://terrapinridge.com/sauces/truffle-aioli-squeeze

@replicacobra @stolicat But what IS it?

@givemeyoursoul @stolicat
To reiterate
The product is squeeze bottles
Bottles full of squeeze

@givemeyoursoul @replicacobra @stolicat
Part of what I saw over and over in the ingredient lists was “non-GMO rapeseed oil”, which is a huge, screaming fluorescent warning label for me. No effing way that I’m letting these anywhere near what I’m eating.

@phonepole I’m more of a 5/4/77 Terrapin person myself.

@Mescolito @ the legendary Palladium, you have good taste! I couldn’t find an isolated video of that version, but the full show audio is there.

@Mescolito @phonepole
Called Palladium
Appears to not be metal
Nor does Grateful Dead

@RobinBobcat so is their hot pepper and raspberry jam.

@qazxto
Eat crickets and grow
Body partly made of them
Your cricket meat balls

@qazxto Amazon sells a 100 gram bag of cricket powder for $12.95. That is $129.50 per kilo or about $59 per pound. I would eat cricket based fake meat balls with pasta, if I could afford them.

I would buy reasonably priced crickets, but probably wouldn’t buy these garnishing squeezes even if they were reasonably priced. It would depend on the ingredients.

@qazxto Not sure these can be described as synthetic. Referring to the oil, with otherwise almost entirely natural ingredients? Except for apparently a small amount of xanthan gum as a very common thickener for sauces, nothing seems to say synthetic about these. I’ve had a few of these, nothing special, but not bad, either.

@obxer @qazxto This guy is a real man that only eats meat and will die from a heart attack at 50. A real alpha male.

@blaineg Awww!

@jhinra wow, look at Giphy with the high def RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6 gif.

@jhinra +10 for the “butter tasting”, thanks for that picture!!!

@werehatrack I think this is the intended purpose of variety packs: get that unsuccessful product out of the warehouse, everybody gets 1 bottle of banana aioli.

@brantsdad Exactly - I’ve picked up a few bottles at Marshall’s. They’re decent, nothing outstanding.

@brantsdad Think of TJ Maxx as Meh, minus fun, plus storefront.

@Pufferfishy
An epic failure

This one is more of a “meh”

@Pufferfishy @replicacobra Pesto without olive oil is like a 5-7-7 haiku.

@806D2701 @Pufferfishy @replicacobra
Neglect to warn me of the presence of rapeseed oil in food that I consume while you’re going to remain in proximity, and you will gain a much deeper appreciation of the meaning of “regret”.

@riskybryzness Amending my statement, it was sriracha horseradish.

@boilergus They already addressed the sell by date.

@sammydog01 Yeah, kind of… The wording “…although we are not sure of the exact dating. Samples we received expired November 2022” only instills partial confidence. I’d be fine with this level of verifying with something like the stroopwafels, but something with greater potential for problems ought to have greater verification. And maybe address it up-front on the main page rather than buried in the comments?

I realize I’m being kinda nitpicky here… I just thought this was a point worth raising.

@boilergus @sammydog01 What is the worry? If it is pastuerized and sealed well in the bottle, you aren’t worrying about the eggs growing bugs in them. You are worried more about the fats in the egg yolks going rancid, which is certainly no good, but also something you will definitely smell/taste immediately, and isn’t going to make you sick, just tastes awful. Or are you worried the seals on the bottles are going to have gone bad?

@Calantorntain
Same here; if they say “vegetable oil” without specifying what the vegetable is, I have to give it a hard “no”. It’s not just stuff on the store shelves, either. Too many fast food places either use straight canola (like Arby’s) or a canola blend (like McD), and a bunch of others don’t even know what’s in their fryers. At the moment, Whataburger and Popeye’s are the only two fast food chains whose fried foods are reliably safe for me. (And I would really miss the onion rings if Whataburger went over to the canola side.)

@riskybryzness Is that a jar of Grey Poupon in there?! You must have a genius living with you! #luckyduck

@edsa I’m pretty sure if it had MSG they’d have to say “MSG” since some people are allergic to it.

@edsa Spice extractives typically means that they boil or distill whole spice, and then use the liquid version they extract. So like vanilla extract is kind of a spice extract where they soak vanilla pods in some alcohol, and then use the alcohol with the vanilla flavor instead of grinding up the pods themselves. Anise is a kind of licorice flavor, and you can use the ground up seeds in baking, or you can use anise oil, which is distilled from the seeds.

MSG can have several names if it is naturally derived, since it is simply a mixture of glutamic acid(an amino acid present in many vegetables and meats) mixed with salt. Generally people who are sensitive to it are okay with eating a steak with some salt on it, as it is mixed in with other amino acids in a good ratio. What food manufacturers do to get around calling it MSG as an ingredient is to use Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein,Textured Vegetable Protein, or Yeast Extract, all of which are high in MSG, but below the 99% threshold that the FDA requires for a food to be labeled as MSG. I would look for these terms on the ingredient label.

@edsa @smerk85
And the ever-popular things like autolyzed yeast, yeast extract, maltodextrin, malt extract, and a bunch of others.
