One word: Quorn
Talking of Quorn, I just used the quorn pieces for a curried stir fry. It seems that they've drastically changed the way they produce it, at least, over here. Packaging just the same as ever, not the product.

The pieces were uniformed cubes and very dense-looking. Almost like a dark tofu. Still, it tasted virtually the same, just have to get used to the consisntency, I guess. We've been using that shit for years, and it's quite a departure from their original recipe.

Do they mess around with Quorn and other food's constituent recipes over there, too?
I haven't noticed that over here, but then I don't use fake meats very often. I'll be really bummed if they screw around with it, and it sounds as though they already have over there, which means it'll happen here eventually.

You guys have such a MUCH better selection of Quorn products over there. I am so envious!

Trader Joe's rosemary, sesame seed and raisin crackers.  It doesn't count as eating the whole box if there is still three partial crackers left.

Knoxville has a Trader Joe's right next to the interstate-- and I'll be passing right by it tomorrow. :)

I know it's not a new food find, but there is new food in it!

You, Sir, get the gold star for rationalization.

And, I'm going to have to add these to my TJ's shopping list.

I finally bought some of that Wensleydale cheese with cranberries they have at Costco.  Holy crap, that is tasty.

My mom had some of that during Thanksgiving and, yes, that is a wonderful cheese.

The pumpernickel pretzel sticks at Trader Joe's are now the only pretzel for me. SOOOOOOOOO good for dipping in a zesty mustard or just for snacking. I can never find any good dark bread here in the South (where are the Germans!?!?!?). A bag of these things totally sets me straight. Maybe I need to chef up some sort of Reuben dip in order to honor them. Mmmmmmmmmm.
