      A fellow Trader Joe’s lover definitely transcends the lame smalltalk boundary. I don’t even go but the way my dad recommends food when he meets someone else who goes to Trader Joe’s you would think they had known each other their whole life.

      I got a basil plant from Walmart a few months ago because it was literally the same price as the dried stuff.

      I’ve been putting basil in basically everything haha

    Oh, man. A few months ago I, a quadragenarian dude, spent like 20 minutes telling a friend about my skin care routine. … when I have the gumption to do it.

    Not a recent purchase, but Costco had these halloumi fries recently and they were bomb. I’m sad to see that I can’t buy them right now.

    I personally don’t care much for sponsored foods but I acquired some post Malone oreos that are pretty good. They’re super sweet though so 1 pack lasts like a month.

    Typically if someone asks me a very off key question like this, I assume it’s because they want to be asked that question in order to start a conversation they have in mind. So I would usually give some answer: “I’m really enjoying baking bread right now, so I suppose flour.”

    Then ask “what about you?” Which is usually when the really interesting and often much more off key conversation starts. If not, I can start talking about baking bread, so it’s win/win for me!

    Naw that’s just part of getting old.

    My younger self would be very disappointed at the things I find exciting now.

    I recently found an Indian grocery store that stocks those Heinz beans in the teal can that are popular on toast in the UK! …turns out they’re not very good. But I found them!!

      Younger me might be disappointed in a lot of things, but my fascination with new and interesting foods would not be a disappointment at all! If I told me “We’re really into brie and canning salsa” we’d be delighted!

        Aw fuck. This is my cue to confront my own bias: my palate is Americanized as fuck. Hell, my own mother probably had a corn syrup subsidy to add it to her tit juice before feeding it to me as a baby.

        So, take my culinary assessment with a grain of salt sugar.

          Haha. Nah, you’re good 😊 . Brits like beans because they’re cheap, easy and available. They’re ok, hardly a culinary experience worth seeking out though :)

          Although they are one of your five a day!

    Dude, Newman’s Own has a sourdough crust frozen pizza and it’s amazing. It’s now our go-to, “I’m too mentally drained to cook,” food.

    A choice of groceries? Mister Moneybags here has so many choices for his groceries he has the luxury of having a preference of some over others. Ladies, if you go home with this guy you get your choice of breakfast the next morning. /s
