Curious food items you've seen, but have no interest in buying or trying

I agree the fat on wagyu steaks has a distinctive mouth feel, but I can’t imagine that is preserved once the fat is rendered and then solidified into tallow.

Like @CCE , I cook with tallow regularly, but I can’t imagine buying it - I get more than I could ever use just by rendering trimmings from whole rib roasts, etc. And I certainly wouldn’t pay $20+ a pound for it just because marketers slapped the word Wagyu on it! :flushed_face::roll_eyes::rofl:

Not a fan of halvah I guess.

For others who might be interested, Soom makes an excellent version of this: https://soomfoods.com/products/chocolate-spread

It’s alright. I don’t have a major sweet tooth in general, but my PIC loves it. The Seed & Mill stuff is great, but it’s not something I want or need on a regular basis :woman_shrugging:t2:

Not chocolate, but I mixed equal parts tahini and peanut butter to drizzle into a mashup coconut curry.

Spread leftover of the paste on toast the next day and really liked it.

I could see how that would work. I just found this particular product off-putting.

Get it - not a fan of choco hazelnut, whatever that brand is, too. But others love it (maybe “nutella”?).

I liked that stuff as a kid, and my PIC still does, but he has a much more pronounced sweet tooth than I.

That said, Tillamook’s hazelnut chocolate ice cream is tha shiznit :face_savoring_food:

Tillamook makes pretty good stuff all around. I get their butter, cheeses, and ice creams when they’re half-price here, which happens about every 5-7 weeks (depending on item, butter more often than the others).

Saw these at Sam’s Club and briefly wondered if this was a dog snack.

It’s apparently for human consumption :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

I’ve tried those bc i try to keep low carb. All i can say is - meh,do not reco. Ditto every other of the 3 or so brands ive tried.

I’m in the solid “no” camp on these things. Tried the pink salt flavor, got through half a chip and the rest went in the bin. I did have some other brand of protein chip that was made from whey and they were pretty decent, if a bit chalky. But I won’t go back for more; they were expensive and I’m not quite Mr. Universe caliber or low carb in any way, so there’s no real need to protein maxx my snacks. (I actually ate them with a beer and wondered if I wasn’t violating various core tenets of keto physics.)

I wasn’t tempted in the least – mostly bc of my annoyance with the term “bone broth,” but they neither sound nor look appealing to me.

A very big no on this.

I think Oscar, the world’s laziest and most spoiled bulldog, would actually like these. He’s a canine vacuum cleaner.

I think many dogs would enjoy these, but they aren’t exactly known for their discerning palates :wink:

Nope. That’s a new one for me too.

First question, were they in the freezer section?
