The best frozen pizzas according to my family and several people I know - American Flatbread Revolution (particularly the mushroom variety), and Monteli’s (particularly the tomato, pesto and arugula). Freshetta or DiGiorno’s will do in a pinch. But the first two are our favorites. As with all frozen pizzas you do have…

I tried bread cheese one time. It’s kind of expensive and the taste payoff wasn’t great. It has no deep cheesy flavor at all - which is what I love about cheese. To be fair I’m not a huge fan of paneer or haloumi or mozzarella either (though, of course I have enjoyed them in certain preparations). I just like to save…

It’s strange that you mention the tortilla. We are moving, so I had veggie burgers in the freezer and these Guerro Low Carb Flaxseed tortillas (we are not keto or low carb people; I just picked them up on a whim) and I made a veggie burger wrap. I was sure my husband would at least comment...but he loved it. And those…

Laughed so hard at “Applebees for people who tuck their shirts in.”  But, yeah, fuck off with your right to privacy Kavanaugh. 

Dude, I EAT FAKE MEAT. I’m a pescatarian, mostly vegetarian sometime vegan. My comment was about this particular product - the jerky and how it will play to the market. This post is about jerky. Not meat substitutes in general. Quit being outraged over nothing. There, I helped, now you can move on.

That’s not what I said at all. I was wondering about the market for such a product. Widespread market appeal and people who “like” it are two different things. Hell, I’d try it and probably like it well enough. But will enough people BUY it over and over again enough to make it a successful product? 

There’s also the sardine banh mi. 

I love the smoked Riga Gold Sprats. Someone drops by...sprats, crackers, cheese, olives and some fruit. Done.

Hmmm. I wonder about the intended market for this product. I don’t really miss beef jerky and the other meat subs are recipe or cookout ready for convenience. We don’t even eat the beef substitutes often. I make taco night with seasoned black beans. I don’t think I’d feel compelled to grab a bag of vegan jerky. But…

They could start by burning all of their bread recipes and starting over.  

Maybe not absolutely zero sweetness, but it does lack that sweet corny note that a lot of cheap beers have. PBR tastes pretty sweet and corny to me. Cheers!

I think for drinkability and price you can’t do better than Busch Light. It has zero sweetness, no raw alcohol taste, no bitter aftertaste and a decent fizz. A totally inoffensive beer at an amazing price. I mean, on a canoe trip or in bed on a stormy 4th of July day drinking and binge watching Stranger Things (not…

That’s a good compromise, a way to stretch the meat and up the nutrition.

Florida Gulf Coast. And...there ya go! Places who do brunch but don’t have a liquor license serve mimosas and “micheladas”  with bloody mary mix. We do have some cocktail places around but they don’t really mess with beer in a cocktail. I did have a real michelada in Houston and it was yummy. But the prevailing recipe…

Most micheladas are just bloody mary mix and beer with a tajin rim. That’s a restaurant recipe. And I love them.

The interstate commerce clause is how Loving v. Virginia was decided. That’s why Thomas isn’t concerned about his own interracial marriage. Knock down that...interracial marriage is next, as are national drinking age laws and many other laws pushed through under that legal construct.

Without drinks, that sounds pretty reasonable. Shredded bbq pork, grilled bbq chicken, potato salad, baked beans, cole slaw, rolls, big cobbler and ice cream. Once you get into ribs and brisket things get pricier real quick. But...that menu would be infinitly better as a potluck!

Like others, I thought most BBQs are potluck. In fact, all the gathering meals I’ve ever attended, other than weddings and catered funeral receptions, were potluck. I mean, I’ve never attended a “dinner party” where one person orchestrates everything. 

I like the Impossible better than Beyond, but I’m sure both would taste good in a sloppy joe. That stuff is EXPENSIVE though, and I don’t like to “waste” it in applications where less expensive substitutes would work just as well. (It’s really good in bulgogi, btw!)

Sloppy Joes are perfect for a vegetable substitute for meat because the sauce and sauciness are the highlight. I will chopped mushrooms, sometimes tofu crumbles, onions and diced carrots browned up, add the signature sauce, butter and toast a bun. Cheese if you like. Done.
