Olives are fucking delicious. And versatile. Yes, pimento stuffed are the most generic, but I'll take them any day.

>>7294596

>olives are fucking delicious

Agreed, but you only ever see pimento stuffed green olives in martinis or recipes from the 50's, possibly involving jello.

>>7294625
Olive tapanade or dip is probably what I use them the most for. Its a cheap version but I can make tons and its delicious. Also chopped salads or just eating them plain. And I also just discovered muffaletta (I think that how you spell it) which uses pimento stuffed.

>>7294631
Ugh my mom's family was from upstate New York they ate the fuck out of those

>>7294677

>muffaletta

I've wanted to try one of those for years, but it's one of those things that people simply don't sell outside of the place it's from. Kind of like pork tenderloin sandwiches, except a muffaletta seems like too much work to make at home.

>>7294631
While I've never had pig's feet, I'd have no qualms about trying them in pretty much any style I've seen them, except this. That looks absolutely fucking disgusting.

>>7294634
Greens are god tier, okra can be weak unless deep fried (still not great) and corn bread is where it's at as long as she doesn't make dry white people cornbread.

Get in touch with your southern roots, famalam

>>7294625
I will put them out with cheeses, raw veggies, crackers, etc if I'm having people over that I don't need to impress

I also like them on pizza sometimes

>>7294690
I've never had an authentic muffaletta...also I don't eat meat so I never will. I found the olive spread in a random grocery store so I bought the best bread I thought would be similar to muffaletta and made it with cheese, olive salad, and roasted red and yellow pepper, zuchinni, and chinese eggplant. It was fucking worth it to make at home.

>>7294706
They do use dry white people cornbread. It's just fried cornmeal. Mine uses creamed corn, sour cream and eggs to at least add a little moisture. It might not be that much worse for you than theirs because like I said, they fry theirs in oil, mine is just baked.

The olive spread and toppings don't seem too difficult to throw together, but it seems like you'd have to bake the bread yourself if you wanted something like that.

Are you kidding? Pimento stuffed green olives are essential to my tuna salad, and my sardine pasta. AND, our traditional holiday appetizer of olive-cheese balls.

>>7294761
I used pic related spread and some random bread that sounded similar. I'm terrible at baking bread for some reason but I'm sure there's some italian bakery near me that I can get authentic bread from. I'd love to try it for real, very my style

If anyone has a more authentic or better brand lmk

The weird stuff has a slightly higher profit margin, but they do sell slowly. Go at a weird hour next you shop OP. I went friday morning right as safeway opened and it is a freakshow of people buying strange items. Usually the people without jobs, have mental illness, or just got off their nightshift.

I used to buy vienna sausages, and I still buy spam. They're great poor people and idiot bachelor foods. Also, hispanics and poor blacks buy a ton of the oddities also. They're cheap and add a ton of flavor in big dishes for the family.

>>7294722
My wife does kind of a mix of both. She lines the pan with oil, puts it in the oven, takes it out, and then pours the batter into the pan. Makes for an even crisp.

Mayo and eggs is what's added for moisture. Pretty good plus it's the only thing she can make better than me so I let her have her moment

I am the only person I know or even see who buys kippers. I count the number of packages on the shelf every time I buy them and it appears as though I'm the only person who gets them.

Shit is delicious though.

>>7295138
What do you do with them?

>>7295145
I usually just eat them right out of the can. Sometimes I put them on crackers with brown mustard, once in a while I fry them up for breakfast with eggs, bacon and rye toast.

>>7294574
I often have a handful of olives with a meal. I don't buy a huge jar like that (I've actually never seen one that sized where I shop), but I probably go through the smaller sized jars regularly enough.

I tend to use black olives when cooking.

>>7295138
I prefer kippers to sardines/herring.
>>7295145
mostly put them on toast, once in a while mix them up with white rice.

>>7295147
Do you think they would make a good sandwich (like you would do with tuna or salmon)?

>>7295164
Yeah, same here. I'd love to try actual kippers, but the kipper snacks will have to do.

Sardines are fine, a little on the blander side, but still a decent snack. I like the King Oscar type in olive oil the best, preferably with seasoned crackers and hot sauce or strong mustard.

>>7295167
Oh yes, they taste very good on toast. I've never actually made a kipper sandwich but I'm sure it would come out tastier than a tuna sandwich.

>I count the number of packages on the shelf every time I buy them and it appears as though I'm the only person who gets them.
I don't know why but I really enjoy this feeling.

There was a period a few months ago where I was pretty poor, and on a food budget of about $50 per week, and I was living very nearly entirely off of curry for a few solid months. There was a brand of coconut milk I was fond of and I was just about the only person buying it. There was something oddly satisfying about going in every other day and taking two more cans off the shelf, seeing myself slowly work my way through most of their stock.

That is, until they ran out and I had to use other brands that were way too sweet until they replenished stock.

>>7294574
>who buys pimento-stuffed olives
I do.
Along with broadbeans, they're a necessary part of making paellas.
The most recent one I made was spinach and artichoke and about a month before that, chicken.

>>7294677
I thought tapenade was made with black, oil-cured olives.
>looks it up
Looks like which olives are used varies region to region, unsurprisingly.
Where I'm from, it's a simple spread made of salt-cured anchovies, salted capers and black, oil-cured olives while some American versions use roasted bell peppers, pickled cauliflower and brined green olives.
Who knew?

>>7295103
Just snail shells? No snails? That's fucking weird.
My local supermarket just started carrying live snails. I don't think anyone will buy them, though.
I go to the fishmonger to buy seasnails IE conch, though. I've never had a land snail like the French eat.

>>7295281
Hah, true. I had to go from Crown Prince kippers to King Oscar kippers because I went through them all. A slight difference in quality, but noticeable.

What's important about that brand though is you gotta order the Large size because it's the one where the oil the salad is suspended in is 100% olive oil, the smaller sizes use a blend unless you buy directly from the company in Kenner, in which case they can bottle them smaller for you.

You can say that Progress or Gambino's makes better olive salad but I think they make better sandwiches, not the olive salad itself.

But hey whatever man.

Pic related is a Muffaletta from Rouses, which is a LA grocery store. Even these are better than Central's.

When I worked in landscaping uptown and in Metairie I would eat these every day for lunch. I got a taste for Rouse's and World Deli on Clearview. Central Grocery may have invented it but they honestly have no idea what they are doing with the sandwich and have been superceded.

>>7295292
I always wonder if they actually noticed they were running out of stock way faster than normal and started to order more frequent shipments, only for me to stop buying a can a day.

>>7295317
I think they just realized that they can sell a smaller sandwich to tourists and make more money that way. No one's gonna badmouth them because "they invented it". But yeah I agree Rouses is making a better version these days, not to mention there's no line.

Yeah Boscoli's and others are in grocery stores, if you go to a grocery probably go to Rouses, they're decently common.

>I don't eat meat

Then you aren't gonna eat a muffaletta. Period. It's not 'blasphemy' or anything you just aren't eating anything that's even close to the flavor profile. It's like saying you want to eat a "pizza without sauce or crust".

I couldn't honestly even think of a decent place to tell you about if you don't eat meat. Like you can't have a roast beef po boy, you can't have jambalaya, or gumbo, or boudin balls, etc.

There are vegetarian places in NOLA, but basically none of them have much to do with the food down here.

These olives are used a lot in Latin American and Caribbean cooking. I am half Puerto Rican and I put them in a lot of PR dishes. When I don't have them I use capers.

>>7295315
That's actually illegal to call that a sandwich because there's too much bread.

SANDWICH - CLOSED:
Product must contain at least 35 percent cooke
d meat and no more than 50 percent bread.

That seems to be about 2/3rds bread by volume. Perhaps they weighed the loaf then made up that exact amount of filling when they made it.

They ain't bad. They're not great either, but the hardest part about eating one is the gelatinous texture and variable flavor of the flesh depending on how long it's been sitting on the shelf. A novelty for me that I wouldn't eat outside of trying to trick my friends and family.

I used to use those olives for pizza topping. For some reason they didnt have non-stuffed olives for a while.

The size of it is what he's going on about.

I feel like I buy the same 30-50 items at a grocery store and yet... it's filled with thousands of options. Who are the rest for? I don't get it.

Everything I buy is the best option for a particular ingredient, either in terms of value or quality. And then there's just... stuff. Hundreds of snacks and prepared things and jars or cans of shit. I don't get it.

>>7296680
But the size is justified by the fact that olive are amazing. Why wouldn't you buy them in bulk

>>7294574
Olive fan here. I put them into any veggie tray I make and people always eat them. I eat them right out of the jar while watching TV.

>>7294631
I actually like pig's feet. But I have a fascination with any dish that uses cast off parts.

Pig's feet, Souse, Head cheese. Chicken's feet. If it freaks my countrymen out, i probably want to try it. Some of the best food I've ever had was made by people that knew how to make cheap and uncommon ingredients work.

But fuck Hormel's pig's feet. They don't make them for a shit. I used to eat them, before I found out my butcher made fresh.

>>7297384
>Nobody chooses to become an addict.
Maybe, maybe not. What is definite, however, is that people choose to stop becoming addicts. If you recognise that you are an addict and continue to do so then it's a lifestyle choice you have made.

Honestly, all you "I'm an alcoholic I just drank a quart of vodka fml" faggots in the /alc/ thread are nothing more than attention whores. Stop putting the bottle to your lips and you'll stop being an alcoholic, it's pretty simple.

That's not how it works. You'd be more correct calling out all the people who start threads with, "I only have $10 to buy food for the next month, wat do", and tell them that being poor is a lifestyle choice.

>faggots in the /alc/ thread are nothing more than attention whores

People come here to talk about shit anonymously, sometimes when it comes to food and drinks that they know are bad for them.

Alcohol threads are usually far more on-topic than the constant stream of fast food garbage threads.

>>7297696
>being poor is a lifestyle choice.
Being poor isn't a lifestyle choice though. Having $10 to last two weeks is though - you clearly started the month out with more than $10 and through either negligence or wilful stupidity have blown through it all way too fast.

In the same vein, lacking the self-control to drink in anything resembling moderation isn't a lifestyle choice. Acknowledging that you have that disability and yet continuing to drink, however, is a lifestyle choice.

>>7297845

So making good or bad decisions on a day to day basis is a lifestyle, whereas being stupid over a course of time is simply being stupid.

I suppose I'd tentatively agree to those definitions.

I understand that people go through rough times for many different reasons, but it isn't that difficult to make enough money to feed yourself properly, while it's extremely easy to wake up one day and realize you're some kind of addict, and at that point it's not just a matter of "muh willpower".

I make cuban picadillo...one of my favorite cold weather kind of comfort foods.

Ground sirloin browned with onions, garlic. Wine, tomato paste, saffron, cumin, raisins and olives. Simmer like chili as long as you want. I serve with sticky short grain Diana valenica rice and soft sweet platanos maduros on the side.

I also use olives in my chunky egg salad, green and black olives both, with lots of celery leaves.

So, yea, I keep them on hand. I'd prefer a pickled onion in a Gibson to a dirty martini 9 out of 10 martini moods.

You are assuming that everyone has the same willpower as you. I've been an alcoholic for about 8 years, and GODDAMN I would love to quit. It's taken my friends, my family, my ability to work, and yet I can't stop. As to why? My best guess is partly my upbringing, partly some messed up stuff that happened to me as a kid which I use alcohol to cope with, and part genetics. There have been several gene complexes associated with alcoholism; they don't make you an indefatigable alky, but they do make it a lot harder to quit. It's not nearly as simple as "just put down the bottle".

It's margarine. I'm in the UK, and that's what we get when we bake: one of us is lactose-intolerant and a friend is dairy-allergic. Plus, the lactose-free butter is expensive. Meanwhile margarine like that is cheap, and works well for most baking.

As a smoker who chooses not to smoke cigarettes, alcohol addiction is the same. You make a choice to smoke/drink at first (because you like it), but when you're addicted it's much much more than "just put it down" bullshit. Cigarettes are much easier to quit than alcohol because the withdrawals are mild and don't last very long. Ethanol withdrawals can be horrific dependent upon how heavy someone drinks. My wife works in a hospital and sees it on weekly basis: someone withdrawing from alcohol. Uncontrollable slashing, hallucinations, paranoia- all because they couldn't have that drink.

Addiction is like debt, it's easy to walk or wander into debt, but it's a long road and a hard fight to get out.

>>7306773

>>7304508
>As to why? My best guess is partly my upbringing, partly some messed up stuff that happened to me as a kid which I use alcohol to cope with, and part genetics.
My guess is that it's because you keep buying bottles of vodka and putting them to your,lips, because on some level you'd prefer to be drunk than have friends/family/a job. If you stop buying and drinking alcohol then you'll stop being an alcoholic, but you'll have to decide that the downsides to being constantly drunk outweigh the benefits first.

DUDE

When I was a teen, a friend's family inherited a grey and white cat. His face was all white except for a triangular patch of grey directly over his nose.
From even a short distance away, it looked like he had the broad, flat nose you would see on a Negro.
They named him "Nigger Nose".
I'll never forget the sound of my friend's sister calling the cat for dinnner,"NNIIIIIGGGGYYYYYYYY".

My dad grew up as po'folk in Oklahoma. I was born there but raised in the UK. Went back to visit family and was encouraged (read: forced) to try vienna sausages.

holy shit I can't believe there's a market for these tiny culinary abortions. The quality of some of the meat products here is worse than anything else I've ever eaten.

>>7309395

Spot on.

The worst part is that they were covered with some kind of barbecue glaze that made them look vaguely appealing. That was not the case.
I'm guessing you can only stomach them if you grew up eating them.

>>7309475
I used to hate them. It's defiantly an acquired taste. Most people I know don't eat them either. The jalapeno ones kick ass. The BBQ ones are the worst, frankly.

>>7294574

Exactly.

>>7297879
Damn I know this is old but self awareness exists. Do you propose that people have blank, empty heads while they purchase then consume their alcohol? That they never keep track of how often or how much they consume or notice the negative influence it has on their functionality and health?

It sounds like a form of learned helplessness and denial of responsability. I've been there, so I guess I understand it, but I knew what I was doing the entire time. I was avoiding responsability and trying to alleviate my boredom without doing anything productive.

It's a choice.

On topic, I'll sometimes by Jordan almonds. I hate them, but I love them once or twice a year. Reminds me of weddings.

>>7299918
Sounded more like delusional schizophrenia

>>7307462
It's only like that after you're already drunk or tipsy. Just don't pick the bottle up in the first place. You may have a lot of strong positive associations with it, but that's exactly what makes it so dangerous. It's not your friend when you habitually over consume. It's a poisonous friend who steals your money when you're not looking and shits in your bed/pisses on your walls whole encouraging you to act like an asshole.

Before you get dangerously chemically addicted to the point of risking seizures from withdrawing, it's just like food addiction. It's comforting, it's always easy to get, it makes you feel full and satisfied for a while. Helps the time go by quicker. It'll put you in an early grave after a slow, horrific decline whole you grow uglier and uglier inside and out.

Both cases, you have to choose to put it down. Change your habits and routines. Pick up new hobbies. The route out of food and alcohol addiction are eerily similar.

You have to choose to be self aware, and choose to be your own agent.

>The route out of food and alcohol addiction are eerily similar.
Why would you believe this? Food is necessary to survive. Alcohol is not. The only correlation is comfort which could be found in any substance.

>>7303334

>The only correlation is comfort which could be found in any substance.
