Honkeys sometimes get afraid to say a foreign thing is terrible. It's okay, you can admit it: tamarind is fucked up and so is chili mango and nothing can fix it.

@p @animeirl @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn Street corn is God's food though. First time I had it, I thought it sounded gross--mayo, parmesan cheese, chili, and butter, on CORN?!? But my friends talked me into trying it with the works, and I was hooked from the first bite. Elotes? Don't mind if I do! By God, they're messy though. A napkin won't do the job, you need soap and water on your face after that. Have BBQ ribs and elotes and you're gonna need a shower after you eat.
Btw, @p, if there's a Superior Grocery store near you, they sell the best chicken tamales I've ever eaten in my life, you should check it out.

Fuckin' absolutely certain. I like it with cotija instead of Parmesan, but same thing. Hot sauce and lime juice.

That is a bold claim.

@p @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn check out the chicken tamales, you only live once. They have some beef ones too; a little hot for my taste, so you'd probably like them.

@Grandtheftautism @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn Big fan of their salsa, but it depends on what day it got made.

@Grandtheftautism @p @11112011 @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn For heavens sake remove me from these food-related posts. I have 6 gorrillion notifications. It would appear I have tons of friends, a feat which is entirely unbelievable.
This is a nightmare. I'd rather have a hellthread I accidentally walk in. At least I'll know it will end soon.

@Grandtheftautism @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn Yeah, ours, like, all of the employees doing the cooking are stubborn-looking abuelitas, like they are probably just doing their own recipes. So the salsa varies widely from day to day, depending on who was working.

@p @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn pretty sure he saw the sense in muting the thread. I didn't get it when I first got here either. I couldn't understand why people were getting so pissed at me for "tagging them back in" to a hellthread when all I was doing was responding to a post. freedoingvlad seems like a nice enough guy so I figured I'd show him how it worked instead of just mocking him mercilessly. Got yelled at by freemo one time for "tagging him in" one time iirc: him i mocked, because he should have known better.

He's on the list of people that have threatened legal action over MKULTRA, he spent a day harassing Jojo. I made the remark that an in-memory hash table lookup was faster than disk access and he demanded benchmarks. So you have to stop believing this:
> he should have known better.
There is no universe in which he knows better.

@p @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn oic. Well, I'm gonna have to watch out. Our Superior replaced a filthy dilapidated Tres Sierras that was just phoning it in at the end, and they're still in the "honeymoon" phase, wooing back all the shoppers who started shopping at other stores because the Tres Sierras was so bad. I'll keep an eye out for abuelitas taking over.
Another good Mexican market that might be near you is Vallarta. Best fruits and vegetables anywhere nearby, good bakery, the deli is meh ok; they make pretty decent pupusas but their carnitas is nothing to write home about. Plus they're very pricey imho, and the Vallarta is our of my way for shopping, so I don't go there often. Better to drive on past to the Food for Less imho.

For all I know, when the salsa's really good, it's because of one of the abuelitas! I just know the store brand varies in quality.
> Another good Mexican market that might be near you is Vallarta.
Oh, yeah, great place, a little pricey.
> their carnitas is nothing to write home about.
Carnitas Michoacan is near here and in addition to selling tacos and burritos and whatnot, they sell carnitas by the pound, like a barbecue joint.
> Better to drive on past to the Food for Less imho.
Ha, I went there once when I was like 20. Have not returned.

@p @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn I like all the Kroger brand stuff they have at Food for Less. They pretend to be a discount store but they really aren't, just cheaper than Vons. Sometimes they'll have niche Mexican stuff or especially sirloin roast for cheap.

It's more like they just skip all the stuff that you figure a grocery store will do, like "keep the birds out" and "hire cashiers that aren't stoned".

@p @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn see, my experience with abuelitas is, the young girls will pull out the recipe sheet from behind the counter and follow it to the letter, because they don't know how to make salsa. The abuelitas have their own ways of doing things, so they ignore the recipe and make it their own way. And one abuelita will make really good salsa, the next abuelita will make terrible salsa, and the third abuelita will bully the girls using the recipe sheet into doing it HER way instead. So the abuelitas are definitely the source of the wavering quality. They are Mexican Karens.

Yep. That's what I was talking about. Can't tell them anything, they just walk past you and do what they were doing. "Oh, her? We don't even pay her, just comes in at 4:30 every morning and starts making salsa. I don't know her name. She's got la chancla if you get in her way."

@p @11112011 @FreedoingVlad @MisterRogersSnapped @Senator_Armstrong @animeirl @cvnt @dicey @icedquinn you got a point there about the birds and the cashiers.
Our Food For Less had a grumpy elderly Filipino security guard at the front door to keep people from dashing with a full cart. I frequently saw him get into arguments with shoppers who didn't want to show him their receipt. After we'd been going there about a year, they installed a metal gate at the front door, with an opening too small to fit a cart through. You have to push your cart through another opening that's off to one side, then go through a turnstile and retrieve it. It only takes an extra few seconds, but it's awkward enough to slow people down so they can't make a proper dash. Never saw that Filipino guard again. He was replaced by a metal gate. So my wife and I joke with each other now, "Watch it, you too could be replaced by a metal gate". Too bad, so sad, many such cases

Yeah, I'll give Ralph's an extra nickel for a peach to avoid having to throw elbows to examine whether the meat is still there or fight a bird or deal with, like, security procedures that seem more like county lockup than a grocery store. At least the 99-cent store is fun and doesn't pretend to be a real place.
