There are several places in Central Vermont (and I think one or two in northern Vermont) that have grits as regular items on their menus. Though I’m a heathen, I prefer adulterated versions of grits with cheese or chipoltle...

ago I invented a breakfast sandwich I referred jokingly to as an Egg McBagel (toasted bagel smothered in cream cheese, topped with an over-easy egg and a slice of ham fried in butter—my grandparents were rolling over in...

and wonderful. What kills me is these were probably just from a box and nothing special brand-wise ... but they were done right. There was a side bowl of either whipped butter or margarine ... but it would have been a sin to have...

UNH or head to Greenpoint. I have never been to Veselka (hear their pierogi are "adulterated" with all sorts of bizarre, non-traditional stuffings).

Silver leaf is really nice, it’s my favourite and can be found at the big carrot or SLM (both in the large cheese/deli place upstairs and the assorted food place downstairs (the one with all the sauces and stuff across from...

I have shopped at Trader Joes for over 20 years. Many products that I used to buy have dissapeared. It seems as if Trader Joes is trying to change its focus. In the 1980s Trader Joes was known to have wine, cheese,snack foods,...

a liquor drink for people that don’t like wine, (no matter how adulterated). I’m still hoping for suggestions for spreads for the bread (I’m now leaning toward the oil, honey/mascarpone/butter, and pimento cheese...

Yes, Mickey D’s and BK meat that comes entirely from cattle. No possum, kangaroo, or worms. it’s the lowest-quality, lowest-cost beef available. Safe (as opposed to contaminated), and pure (as opposed to adulterated),...

Wagyu shouldn’t be used in anything but shabu-shabu (and only in thinly sliced version). Wagyu steaks, burgers, pastrami, cheese steak, is all a bit silly. The allure of Wagyu beef is the marbling. When you adulterate the...

't find anywhere else in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Cangiano’s- own bread ovens. Own (Salted) fresh mozzarella. Plain, but excellent, pork store. I get my parmesean cheese there. There’s a Norwegian/Scandinavian grocery...

adulterating it with Jalapeno from the counter. I really love heat. I felt the sausage in attendance this morning was a noble attempt, but once you try a jalapeno cheese, or chipotle sausage, I ask you, is there ever any going...

" on less than perfect sushi too. So Chowhounders, which foods do you adulterate with strong tasting accompaniments, thus minimizing the differences in quality of the main ingredients?

I dont know that I agree that the food at Alle Zucca is not very Italian – as for being Venetian, it is not seafood based so its certainly not typical of the city but Id say they they reflect the Veneto (in a larger sense)...

’t make it home. I gobbled them up on the drive back. I didn’t even adulterate them with catsup. Too good for that. There’s a nice attention to detail here. There are bottles of hot sauce on the counter - Stubbs...

iam not talking about high end gourmet organic stuff even. have you noticed in the grocery stores its almost impossible to find some real foods. for instance my local store carries 10 kinds of “lite” chream cheese or...
