Memo to Babish: The word "toothsome" does NOT mean "firm to the tooth / al dente". It means "delicious".
@TranceFur

@saltycrunch
@saltycrunch 5 сағат бұрын
@ I agree, it's weird to think we taste with our teeth. Your comment made me curious so I fired up Merriam Webster. Apparently "One meaning of 'tooth' is "a fondness or taste for something specified." 'Toothsome' comes from this definition of tooth plus the suffix -some, meaning "characterized by." Although toothsome was at first used to describe general attractiveness, it quickly developed a second sense that was specific to the sense of taste (perhaps because from as far back as Chaucer's time, tooth could also refer specifically to eating and the sense of taste).

For Korean Trader Joe's, probably Trader Kim's (you can't really do the same "common first name" gimmick without sacrificing the succinctness, because all traditional Korean first names have two syllables, but since all traditional last names are one syllable, you can use a common last name for the same effect).

Well they were originally just one chain that was all across the country but then iirc the kids of the founder inherited it and couldn't come to a compromise on how to run things, so they split up the market into the South and North, each being run by one of the little nepo babies with South eventually expanding internationally while North decided to mostly focus on running a tight ship with the stores they had (not forever obviously, but South already had the Aldi brand name established in the US, so North had to do something else and bought into the existing Trader Joe's brand instead). To this day incursions into enemy territory do happen and there are legal battles fought between the siblings at least once a decade because there's no hard line drawn anywhere of where the North and South begin and end, so when a new market opens up in a border region they both fight over who gets to franchise that location.

Love the DiBella's reference. They have some of the best subs in Rochester. Fun fact, when Wegmans rolled out their in store sub shop they partnered with DiBella's for sub and sub roll recipes.

I've always found premade Naan is best wrapped in a damp paper towel and microwaved for 30 sec. Keeps that pliability it normally has.

They're very meh without something. Restaurant versions are meant to be dipped into a sauce you mix yourself from the available condiments, but they're more tasty than these by themselves.

I think Korean Trader Joes would've been called Trader Kims, as around 21.5% of South Koreans have the last name Kim, so it's essentially their version of a extremely basic name like our "Joe".

It is a smart move to slightly under salt their food for the masses especially for the demographic that shops there. You have a large amount of people looking at packages nutrition numbers and steer away from sodium or have a medical issue. The rest of the flavors are there you just season to taste. The prices and serving sizes are great. Also Trader Joe’s somehow just does frozen rice right. Their jasmine frozen rice no one else can compete with.

I genuinely think the frozen trader joes chinese food staples of kung pao, orange chicken, and beef and broccoli is almost always better than the take out places in most of the US for one simple reason, the transit from your kitchen to your table leaves almost no space for soggification while the same can not be said of takeout places.

When I go to TJ's, it's to purchase the Lamb Vindaloo. I also like the Kung Pao chicken. It's a nice base when you're lazy but want some stir fry. Bust out the wok and zhuzh up with other veggies. I need to give the scallion pancakes a whirl.

Yeah a lot of these things got 3-4 points higher because the person cooking them took extra time and steps and has pro judgment. Though somehow he still did that beef burrito dirty.

Top selling Indian ready to eat packs are Palak Paneer and Chana Masala at Trader Joe. Most items described by you are not available at many TJ Stores But two items I mentioned earlier are sold at almost all across US. Next time while cooking Tamalees in Microwave use wrap it with wet paper towel and micro it for two minutes. Same goes with Naan but for only 30-40 seconds. However, I like your posting on TJ ready made food. Nothing comes closer anywhere in the world. TJ buyers know the real taste of every kind of food. Kudos to TJ staff.
