Taste Test: Mustard

Weber's Horseradish Mustard. A Buffalo NY classic and nothing better for hot dogs, polish sausage, or ham sandwiches.

All the Wegmans in or near Buffalo, NY ROCK! I agree with another poster that the meat selection is often disappointing but everything else is a delight.

Recession Grocery Shopping: What Are You Doing Differently?

Every Sunday morning I plan out a menu for the week and just buy what I need at the grocery store. Also I've been making a little extra at dinner and we take that for lunch the next day or the day after instead of Lean Cuisines or lunch out. And there's nothing quite as good (or as easy to reheat on a weeknight) as homemade sauce and meatballs. Cheap comfort food at its best - and I can still indulge in the fresh-grated good romano or parmigano reggiano.

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

I am from Buffalo, NY - so thanks Machineman! I can only shake my head in bafflement at what the rest of the country puts on their pizza. Indian style? Demi-glaze? Tuna? Really, people? Come to Buffalo and get a good old cheese and pepperoni from Bocce, Bozanna's, Just Pizza, LaNova, or even some corner joint. You'll never want it any other way!

Cook the Book: 'My Last Supper'

I would eat my favorite food - my homemade deep-dish chicken pizza with fresh grated parm and vidalia onions, in my favorite place - my own kitchen, with my favorite guys - my husband and my little guy. Sappy but true. And we would have 3-day chocolate cake for dessert!

Taste Test: Mustard

I'm not sure which category it would go in, its probably more of a hot sauce, but I have to turn you all on to Dave's Gourmet Hurtin' Habanero & Honey Mustard: http://www.davesgourmet.peachhost.com/ct_PRdahhm.htm.
Its thick enough to be spreadable for your sandwich, and so hot you cant stand it but so sweet you can't resist - there's nothing better with cold, day-old pot roast.

Maille is what all the best Chefs in the world use. Dijon, stone ground, you name it - Maille wins.

39 mustards? Wow! Impressive. I'm a French's fan myself - good old fashioned yellow mustard is fine with me.

After participating in this thread a few days ago, I came across this great website, and have already placed an order for some exotic mustards:

Taste Test: Mustard

as I will repeat from my previous comment::
does anyone know of this Heinz french mustard? It's got the color and consistency of baby poop (I dunno guys... that was my memory as a 22-year-old drunk off of fish and chips) but not really spicy. I can't even find a similar product in America!
But yes, horseradish mustards RULE!

Here is an Oregonian praising all that is BEAVER. They have the best honey mustard and their prepared horesradish is to die for!

1. Sorry, but Grey Poupon is really not very good. 2. Maille is OK, if fresh. 3. Hands down best Dijon mustard for the the price is Wegman's. OK, it's not available everywhere, but if you can get it, then get it. Only mustard that has a freshness warning on the label. 4. Lowensenf is also good, but pricey compared with Wegman's. 5. When Cook's Illustrated tested Dijon mustards several years ago, Roland came out on top. Still not as good as Wegman's but better than Maille.

Taste Test: Mustard

There's a chain of stores in the U.K. and Europe called Oil&Vinegar. They also have several branches in the States. They sell just about every brand and type of mustard available. My #1 fave is Oil&Vinegar Garlic Mustard. It's not particularly hot but I guarantee that your friends will know that you've used it. Listerine anyone?

Taste Test: Mustard

Growing up the only mustard we had in the house was Red Pelican, which was a Belgian-style spicy brown made in Detroit. Unfortunately it's no longer in production. I've spent countless dollars and hours searching for a replacement, and Zatarain's Creole Mustard is the closest I've ever found. It definitely deserves a place of honor on this list.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever (Unless You Have a Better One)

I think before you can find the perfect CCC recipe, you must first describe your perfect CCC. Is it chewy or crispy-crunchy?

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever (Unless You Have a Better One)

I just made these and my guests are raving. The recipe made 2 dozen 1.5" diameter heavenly cookies -- they were not too "big" and they were certainly fat! I look forward to making them again.

Cook your own foods using the least processed ingredients possible. It's time consuming at first, but you get the hand of it. (Millet is actually a fabulous breakfast cereal.)

Scanning through the posts above, I see so many of you are turning toward sources of food which are highly questionable for your overall health. If you can't afford organic, and don't have land to grow your own, I urge you to fuss with your budget so your dairy and meats/poultry are organic (or "natural"). The foods from Wal-Mart and Sam's are closer to poison than you might want to know but it really matters that you pay attention this, for yourselves and (particularly) for your kids. Organic veggies, brown rice, and beans can be made to taste delicious. Honest.

@waifl Could you please post the recipe for that Asian/ginger/scallion/oil BBQ conditment that you are talking about. It sounds like something my family would like a lot. Thanks!

Recession Grocery Shopping: What Are You Doing Differently?

Satisfying my budget and my tummy means more food with more fiber so I stay full longer which includes ingredients like lentils, quinoa, oatmeal, wheat berries, rice and roasted sweet potatoes. I keep how much I spend on groceries in my agenda so I can keep track of how much I actually spend on food. I am trying to buy organic and local meat right now and that is something I would slurge on despite that fact that it is a little bit expensive.

I make and jar huge batches of that Asian ginger/scallion/oil BBQ condiment on a weekly basis. Dollop on anything and everything, and bask in deliciousness.

Being student has meant living cheaply anyway. But...it's amazing how expensive boxed and packaged stuff is, for the nutritional value. I buy steel-cut oats and wheat bran in bulk, and frozen vegetables. Beans, legumes, and yogurt are good protein sources, so I don't eat very much meat anymore. Tea by the pound (quality is actually better) and put it into a thermos on the morning so I can stop getting ripped off for coffee by the local (crappy) coffee joint. I won't give up mangos and good chocolate though....

Recession Grocery Shopping: What Are You Doing Differently?

i came from a mixed jewish sicilian family. born and raised in Brooklyn. Food was an important life factor. I raised 3 children through college to adulthood and independence( more or less) They were raised eating home cooked meals six days a week. I worked graveyard shifts for 20 plus years which allowed me to get up in the afternoon and prepare meals. Through the years I fed my own and so many other kids, their friends, whose parents worked conventional hours and never cooked meals. That being the case my grown children all cook for themselves using fresh produce and cheap cuts of meat pouyltry and fish, the way I did for all those years. The notion of cutting back really has not affected us. We have always strived to make the most from the least. Shopping the marked down sections of local grocery stores and using rice grains beans and pastas to stretch meals is nothing new. In fact because of slow sales there seems to be so much more high end products marked down 50 per cent or more available. The stigma of mark downs is something to get over. As I have repeatedly said, five minutes before the clerk marked it down, it was on the shelf for full price and most would have paid that. We have always eaten well above the levels of others and in this money tight economy will to continue to.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever (Unless You Have a Better One)

I tried the recipe just now and i may say that this the best yet I ever made. Chewy in the middle and crunchy on the sides. I used MUSCOVADO BROWN SUGAR though, it has aroma in it and for the chocolate...I used 100 gr chocolate milk bar, 1 bar of toblerone dark chocolate and 1/2 bar of 80% dark chocolate cos I ran out of chocolate chips. I cant wait till my son wake up tomorrow and taste it!! Thanks.

@edoc918: Late posters always welcome! I liked Publix when my parents lived in FL and I visited. Reminded me a bit of Wegmans.

I guess I"m a late poster - but when we lived in MN, Kowalski's is the absolute bomb. Unbelievable selection, best produce, meat & cheese, great service, their deli was awesome - and they were open 24 hours.

I'm back in FL now, so Publix is #1, with Sweetbay running a close second. The butcher at Publix deboned our duck, chicken and goose for Thanksgiving for FREE.

I heart Shop-rite - from Jersey, Shop-rite every Saturday from earliest memory. Good times : ) When the one nearby shut down, my dad elected to drive to the nearest one, which is about 5 miles further, instead of go to other supermarkets.

At school in upstate NY - Wegmans rocks - can't get McVittles anywhere else, or kumquats...

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

ALthough plain cheese is always appreciated, I make 2 special pizzas that my family enjoys. One is buffalo wing chicken with pepper jack cheese,and the other is smoked mozz with sweet sausage and roasted red peppers.
