I appreciate it! I'm checking out a store in CT to maybe place an order since I'm in 1 day shipping range.
Getting perishables that I have no clue how they're supposed to taste to begin with from strangers has me a little cautious. At least for the first time. No offense! 😁
I saw the sheep and cabbage, and I was expecting more of a stew, but all the pics looks like meat cut a minimum amount to fit in the pot with a quartered cabbage head tossed in. I mean, I'm sure I'd still like it as I like lamb (never found mutton here) and cabbage, but they don't really seem to have gone for any kind of enticing presentation.
The lye part of the lutefisk doesn't turn me off so much, but the descriptions calling it jelly-like don't make my mouth water. Especially as it has the bones still in it if I recall correctly.
Whale has always intrigued me, but I feel I've heard more bad than good about the taste, plus I'd probably feel really bad about trying it.
The tariff seems surprisingly low at 15% as far as I can tell, but I'm not sure Dear Leader's current mood. That shipping looks as though it could add up quickly, especially compared to the price of actual product being mailed if we're talking junk food! 😄
The banana was the main sticking point for me as well, but with all the other stuff, I can't imagine you'd get much banana flavor coming through, just a sweetness and texture.
This just made me remember my brother used to do the thing Mr Rogers recommended: putting a slice of American cheese around a banana. There's gotta be some weird food chemistry at work here if banana + cheese pops up multiple places...
I think this pic looks better than I remember. It is a true industrial product!
You take these planks out, and the bottom is perforated to break into three pieces if you want.
Couldn't find pic of the big case it used to come in, but me and my brother were just basically alone all summer on school break with a case of this that would just be replaced as necessary. Stuff like this is what got me to learn to cook, so I appreciate it in a roundabout way.
I'd give that brunost a go, couldn't find anything on cherry cheese, and the tubed caviar sounds like something my girlfriend would absolutely keep on hand. I'll have to keep an eye out for these things.
Celeste was right where my mind went as well! The article said nostalgia was supposedly a big part of it, and I will eat a Celeste or even some Elios if I need a real throwback and I feel like I have a strong stomach that day!
Let's air mail some Celeste over in exchange for some Grandiosa. 😆
Wow, you are sending me down quite the rabbit hole here...
Fries seems pretty sensible actually. Pizza fries are already a thing. Tossing some straight on top of a pie I think could add a nice crispy element to the topside, and as someone who loves the crust, more crispy starchy stuff is no issue. Saw pics with fries and hot dogs, and that seems like an unusual sausage flavor to add to a pizza, but I wouldn't turn my nose up to a slice or two. Calling that American style is definitely fair.
At first, I was less down with peanuts, thinking of that as the sole topping on a pizza. Too different a texture. But then seeing it called African pizza with all the curry, bananna, and ham, now that gives me more of a peanut stew vibe, and other than it basically subbing bananna in place of the carrot, African peanut stew is something I am totally down for. I just may need to make one of these up!
Huh... I watched a basic review on it and that seems somewhat intriguing. It looked faster than expected, decent basic features, and he says parts availability is good. I may have to put this on the wishlist... Thanks for the tip!
Fair enough, I'll just see what sounds exciting. Thanks again!
