Oh I miss that hollandaise! I’d like to see the unripened brie back too!

I’ve never fully recovered from its discontinuation.

As long as we’re reminiscing about what we miss:

VALRHONA CHOCOLATE

and those French Chocolate Wafer Cookies (my very favorite) that make such brief appearances.

LOVE the chocolate covered figs they only stock before Christmas; I’m still hoarding a couple of boxes.

Also pre measured and shelf stable

I have more pantry space than fridge space

Me too! So good. We gifted some to a teacher.

They make wonderful gifts and last a long time, especially if you hide them from yourself!

I’ve never tried these, but you just sold me on them. I keep BtB in the fridge, but I sometimes find it too salty and only so-so for chickeny flavor. It’s fine in a pinch, but I’ve been buying Costco/Kirkland chicken stock boxes. I would love something less bulky and better flavor.

The only reason the open bag is still there is because I had started munching on them while I was preparing dinner on Saturday. I made myself stop to not ruin my appetite. Since then, I seem to have come down with a mild cold where I can’t smell or taste anything… things seem to be returning this morning, so I’ll probably demolish the rest of the bag today. Off to TJ tomorrow for more.

Agreed - even with the low-sodium version of BtB chicken base, the chickeny flavor is lessened. I make as much chicken stock as I can at home for my freezer, but these are nice for a quick 1-cup needed if I haven’t defrosted anything. And if still too salty, you can cut it with a bit more water.

Big YAY for Saturn Peaches. I rarely buy peaches other than at farmers markets but these looked good. They exceeded expectations. Perfectly sweet, juicy, and unblemished.

$3.99/4

I sometimes find a low-sodium version, which I prefer.

OK, you’ve sold me. I’ll have to try these. I wish they came in a jar rather than single-serve disposable plastic packaging.

Those are my favorite peaches in general, regardless of where I get them. Never had a bad one.

In case anyone thought I was joking about 3 bags of the hot honey popcorn… :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I’ve never forgiven them for discontinuing the sun-dried tomato crostini, and that was 30 years ago!

I use Bulldog root beer (most other work ok) and vanilla ice cream and some crushed ice in a blender to make a root beer freeze, similar to the orange freezes we got as kids at Baskin Robbins.

Even better than a root beer float.
If you like root beer floats, try it once and I’m sure you’ll agree with me.

I like their ice cream mochi. Strawberry is fine. Coffee is yum. Seen once only. Newest black sesame is also yum.
