There's No Decent Random Food Thread

[Fool's Requiem]

These fucking things from Aldi are great. I think they're 3 and a half bucks a bag. I hope they're not limited time items. Definitely buying more when I finish these. Use by date is over a year from now, so I could theoretically stock up if I had the room. Aldi has a decent dark chocolate selection, though, so probably not necessary.

Dark chocolate ain't my thing, but Aldi is surprisingly good. They have a brand of Jaffa Cakes that are probably better than the 'big brand' in England.

You must be joking. I have to try these now.

I'll post stuff from Costco later. Gonna probably have a bunch of random snacks popping up these next few months.

Someone told me about these from IG and we found them at our local Central Market. Delicious but oof, really high on calories.

I got diabeetus just looking at the wrapper.

The king of snacks. I can't show the actual packet because I ate them all. Oops!

Burger King were giving away free Whoppers today, so I got one.

Supposedly they've improved it, but it tasted identical to me.

Still, free burger = good burger. Most of the time anyway.

To single-digit age me the "manager already knows my name" line was the single funniest thing I had ever heard.

Brand is Jackson's. They're good AF.

I use avocado oil instead of olive oil for cooking. My thinking was I don't like olives and do like avocados so maybe I'd like it better? But it tastes pretty much indistinguishable to me.

They sell something similar at Fred Meyer near me. I think they also have a blackberry one which is equally delicious (but might be a local thing). They're a great snack.

When your run ends near an ice cream shop, you get ice cream. Top scoop is ooey gooey butter cake, bottom scoop is goat cheese, apricots, and candied walnuts.

oh, my reply disappeared in the Great Server Kerfuffle of 2025.

Is this Mediterranean or Middle Eastern styled food? I love that stuff. I'm not partial to feta cheese or hummus, but just about everything else I've had is aces.

STL is filled with great Mediterranean and Middle Eastern style restaurants, which was not something I was expecting moving from DC which had a good share of those places within walking distance for me.

I had a great lunch today at a Persian "Cafe".



That's a koobideh and chicken kebab, with balsamic rice, and grilled tomatoes, plus Chai tea. Not shown, the slice of butter that was on top of the rice that I mixed in before taking the picture and the cucumber yogurt sauce I requested.
