Hydrox Cookies Are Back, Temporarily, But Recipe May Be Changed
I didn't even know that Hydrox cookies existed (I only came to the US for college), but somehow they just don't sound that appealing ... the name reminds me of "Chlorox"!

It's so hard to choose ONLY one and it really depends on the mood, but I guess I'll choose a warm and custardy bread pudding.
Grocery Ninja: Pomelos aka the Answer to 'What on Earth Is That?'
There's a dish in Cantonese cuisine with pomelo skin braised in some sort of oyster sauce that is topped with dried shrimp roe. If it's done well, the pomelo skin is actually very succulent and tasty.
By the way, your description of the scent and taste of the pomelo is wonderful, probably one of my favorites from you so far! Keep up with the good work. ;)

Hydrox Cookies Are Back, Temporarily, But Recipe May Be Changed
i love hydrox cookies, oreos were never a choice, sort of inadequate consolation and a reminder of what i was missing. oreos are gag me sweet, and could disappear without my noticing.
Hydrox Cookies Are Back, Temporarily, But Recipe May Be Changed
I switched to Hydrox when I became vegetarian at 13 because I knew Oreos contain lard--but I have to confess, even though meat has no appeal to me, I had to switch back to Oreos. (like Brownie, don't really eat them any more, but remember scraping the cream off with great fondness).
Hydrox are weak, and crumble upon twisting, scraping and/or dunking. The appeal to non-vegetarians and non-kosher people especially eludes me.
Grocery Ninja: Pomelos aka the Answer to 'What on Earth Is That?'
Thank you SO much for this article! Having never had one, I enjoyed your story helping me define this jumbo mysterious citrus fruit. Shortly after reading this, I saw a pomelo in Whole Foods. The peeling of the fruit can be a bit laborious, but is worth every bit! The way the juice was misting from the fruit's pith as I peeled it, the scent with which it filled the apt. (even unpeeled, it's pretty yummy scented!) & the light citrusy flavor was amazing! I bought another 1 the next time I went to Whole Foods. For now on when I see this delicious fruit, there will always be 1 in my bag to take hm.!!! Thx SO much!
Grocery Ninja: Pomelos aka the Answer to 'What on Earth Is That?'
Thanks for this post! I grew up eating pomelos but didn't know until recently that they were called pomelos. In vietnamese the same word is used for both grapefruit and pomelo! I too had a grocery store confrontation which resulted in a mother (with her child) buying a pomelo for the first time. I left feeling happy and hopeful that they learned about a new fruit that they would enjoy together for years to come - maybe even generations to come!
