Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 92: What Happened to Caffeine-Free Diet Coke?

Oh gosh Ed. You're just like my parents! There were always cases of the stuff chilled in the garage when I was growing up.

Does anyone carry their own condiments around?

I would definitely not think you're strange as my sister does this all the time! She carries tabasco usually, but she has also found packets of sriracha that are super convenient. Once, she also brought her own (cooked) bacon to the cafe she usually goes to get coffee/breakfast since they don't have good bacon :)

Not Technically Food Books, But Books with Good Food Passages

Totally agree with everyone on the Laura Ingalls Wilder books... I've always wanted to try roasted pig's tail after I read the description in the first book, Little House in the Big Woods. Blowing up the pig's bladder always sounded really fun too!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 82: Peanut Butter Portion Control

I don't lurve the peanut butter so I've never had this problem. It's something about that stick to your mouth thing... why would I want that?! BUT cake? cookies? That's what I really binge on!

How to Make Patbingsu (Korean Shaved Ice)

@HeartofGlass - It's definitely not savory, but it's just lightly sweet. I suppose it actually really depends on how much sweet stuff like the fruit cocktail, condensed milk, bean paste, etc. that you add to it.

@AppleSister, hungryhungryhippo - wow, maybe it's just my family that likes to mix...and everyone else loves not mixing!

From Recipes

How to Make Patbingsu (Korean Shaved Ice)

Yes! I thought it was a perfectly fine consistency and it was super fast, easy to assemble/take apart, and there's no real cleaning necessary.

Dessert Fail: Raspberry Beignets from The Little Owl

@intheyearofthepig - I understand that a beignet is not exactly a doughnut, but I find that it's a loose and flexible term in NYC. I do like true beignets, but this was nearly inedible and I imagine no one would like an incredibly tough anything for dessert.

Best Raw Oysters in NYC

re: Wild Edibles - they have a great deal of something like a dozen oysters for $12 between 3-6 pm

chopt'd, toss'd, stress'd!!!

My favorite from Tossed is the Cobb Salad, but with the blue cheese on the side because I think they add too much for my taste. Also, love the honey dijon dressing.

best spots for nyc restaurant week?

Actually, Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, and Union Square Cafe ARE doing what is essentially their own Restaurant Week. They're only doing lunch and for every diner's meal, $1 will be donated to City Harvest.
Also, it's only one restaurant for a week, schedule below:

July 13-17 Gramercy Tavern
July 20-24 Union Square Cafe
July 27-31 EMP

Undercover Investigation Reveals Non-Vegan Food at Vegan Restaurants in Los Angeles

@dbcurrie - according to quarrygirl, most of it comes from Taiwan? but i dont know how many manufacturers there are there and whether this only applies to LA-based restaurants

also i feel like there's so much processing involved in this kind of food that it makes me sad

My cousin with two kids wouldn't of made through her pregnancies and breastfeeding without CFDC!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 92: What Happened to Caffeine-Free Diet Coke?

Yeah, but in my opinion Diet Coke tastes closer to Pepsi than Coca-Cola Classic. And Diet Pepsi tastes closer to Pepsi too (that's why they don't need to be making a "Pepsi Zero" since their original diet already tastes similar). So I wouldn't agree with posephus that she's trying to kill you, but people have their preferences and the placebo effect (if I can use it in this context) probably has a fair amount to do with tastes.

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

I like a lot of different kinds, all mentioned above, but wanted to put in a vote of confidence for the Garlic Dijon Aioli at Trader Joe's. It's goood.

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Hengstenberg Medium Hot German Mustard, great flavor without the vinegar taste of most yellow mustards.

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

My work's home base is in Switzerland. There, I discovered Thomy’s Senf. I thought at first, it was toothpaste, as it's sold in a tube (very portable). Thomy is a Swiss brand that produces food products such as mayonnaise, mustard, salad dressings, and the best [again in a tube] tomato paste. If you can get a tube of this Swiss equivalent to the U.S. 'every home has some' of French's Yellow, you'll love it. It's creamy and thick, has a nice sharpness and is packed with amazing flavor.

i buy trader joe's dijon because it's so much cheaper than maille, which was my standard for years. would love to see how your panel compares the two.

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Raye’s “Down East Schooner” Mustard. It was also the gold medal winner in the 'Classic American Yellow Mustard' category at the 2009 Mustard Competition.

I agree with all those praising Nance's Sharp & Creamy mustard. I swear I could eat it with a spoon. Once a devoted ketchup user with french fries, I now dip them in Nance's....if that's not love, I don't know what is.

Bertman's Ballpark Mustard - absolutely the best! (I live in CT but order it from OH)

Stonewall Kitchen's Blue Cheese & Herb Mustard, amazing flavors abound.

From Serious Eats

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Woebel's Sweet and Spicy Mustard - well balanced, not too sweet at all. Then again, I find a lot of honey mustards way too sweet.

Gulden's Mustard for a spicy, yet mild and found everywhere here in the Northeast.

From Serious Eats

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Maille Dijon, like many others have said. Though I also have developed a fondness for Grey Poupon coarse ground mustard, which I often use in my cooking as well.

definitely stadium mustard. might only be available in Cleveland though. now I'm going to have to check Boston supermarkets for it....

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Honeycup Mustard. There's nothing else out there like it. Such a strong flavor, I love it. In fact, I'm eating a sandwich with it right now!

From Serious Eats

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Yellow mustard doesn't taste like mustard to me. It tastes like Vinegar.
Maille's my brand for sure.
@Expatslat - oh man it's a deadly blend!! soo good
I'm a fan of most President's Choice condiments as well.

From Serious Eats

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Ditto Coleman's, but for everyday I like the Natural Value yellow mustard that's cheap at my co-op

From Serious Eats

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Pommery Green Peppercorn Mustard, or, being all chichi - Moutarde au Poivre Vert. This stuff is so good I'll just eat a spoonful of it they way one does with peanut butter. It's not cheap, but man, I go through it like like wildfire.

From Serious Eats

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Please give us a honey mustard category. Spicy mustards are quite delicious but there are times when only a sweet mustard will do. Nance's has always been a favorite.

From Serious Eats

Do You Have a Favorite Mustard?

Raye's Sweet & Spicy mustard is my new go to sandwich slatherer, I found it at World Market here in Florida and will stock up incase they pull it. My back up mustard is Ben's Sweet Hot. Both are outstanding full-flavored condiments I use for sandwiches and as additions to my feeble attempts at making sauces.
