You guys should do a recipe with no meat from dollar tree and somewhere else. The meat always gives it away. Not necessarily a vegan recipe but just something without meat!

Target in Australia is just a clothing and homewares store, the idea of them serving food is literally like walking into a nike store and being offered a cheese tasting platter, absolutely unhinged.

[@janmcclure6239]

Not serving food, just selling it like a grocery store.

[@MrVovansim]

​@@janmcclure6239 fwiw, I've been to a Target that had a mini food court too, where you could buy pizza by the slice, hot dogs, and sandwiches.

[@TromboneLoki]

It wasn't until about a decade ago when most targets started to have grocery sections. (At least at my local stores). Even then, they tend to be much smaller and are missing a lot of things in comparison to regular grocery stores

[@taveonhurd8152]

Australia also has a 90% lower population density than the U.S. When every major city is cramped and rural/underserved communities have food deserts, stands to reason why more of our department stores started offering groceries in the last 10-15 years

[@paytonjones432]

[@cassynedelisky796]

@@MrVovansimagreed. I’m pretty sure they’re just reheating and assembling the food.

[@Hailingfromcork]

Consult with said fast food employee about how the line worked, and how to best match ingridients. Then have mythical crew make it at the same time, with the same ingredients as the fast food employee. See who gets it done fastest, and if the judge can tell mythical chef from fast food employee. Use your 'yes and' a little homie, be more mythical @MrVovansim

[@MrVovansim]

@@Hailingfromcork ok, sure, my constructive suggestion would be to do it with fast casual places, like the Applebee's and the Chili's of the world, because there is at least some cooking involved in those. But even then, there's likely legal issues with someone showing the real true recipes.

[@Brandonbarger1]

"Salt and Pepa, gonna push it real good." I caught it, Josh. I caught it.

[@Sikizu]

The price of the dried chives at target was so audacious for me that I went to the local farmer's market, bought a $2 bundle of fresh chives (with some flowers as well, those are delicious), cut them and dried them myself. Better than any store-bought jarred chives I've ever had. Only took a week to dry on a cookie sheet. Got most of a jar plus the flowers which are huge bombs of chive flavor AND pretty. Sometimes doing things yourself is the best.

[@chronicallynerdy4074]

I dry basil by putting it in a cold oven, setting it to 200F, and just letting it hang out for a bit. Maybe try that method if you want to save some time or use your cookie sheet that week?

[@furrybastard27]

If you want to, you can also just chuck cut chives into the freezer in a container. They lose a bit of texture after a while, but they taste exactly the same and basically defrost instantly because they’re so thin. Plus it’s less work.

[@GilgameshEthics]

I just grow them in the back yard. I never come close to eating as many as I grow

[@luckescotchy7089]

"We have put Steak-Ums in a lot of inappropriate places. Not like that!"

[@DaveLemmens]

I think you should add a third variant to these, with the ingredients that you think are best, or much more reasonable. Like in this dish for instance, what if you use the Target steak, but the Dollar Tree chives. Would it make a difference, either in price or taste? I was always told to buy the best quality meat I can afford, but you can cut some corners on other ingredients. What would be the ultimate dish with ingredients from both stores for the best (not necessarily the cheapest) dish for a reasonable price?

[@Cripplified]

I do not understand how Josh is only 2 years older than me but consistently talks like he is from a different generation. Never seeing an episode of Spongebob when he was like 7 when it came out is crazy.

[@chronicallynerdy4074]

He grew up poor, so I guess he either didn't have cable, or only the basic package. Nickelodeon was kind of expensive back then, since it was grouped with other Turner network stuff.

@@DamOneMan yes, well aware. The distinction I was trying to make is that there's no supermarket literally called Kroger in LA, as you can easily verify by looking at Google maps.

The US dollar index, which measures the currency’s strength against six of its peers, closed Tuesday May 14 at 106.26, its highest level since early November.
