    Mmmkay, but if I were to buy one of those nut butter steaks, it sure as shit better come with one of those little meat diapers in the bottom of the package.

    Don’t you cheat me.

      Those meat diapers can go get fucked. Every time I buy ground meat that uses them, the actual meat is usually a significant amount of ounces lower than the advertised weight.

      Go tube or go home. In my experience they’re typically a bit heavier than the advertised weight.

        I think they absorb meat liquids so they don’t pool at the bottom of the tray. Probably just to make it look more appealing.

        To be noted: My keyboard attempted to autocorrect “pool” to “poop.” I am not displeased.

    For how expensive that is it better be fucking great.

    I don’t mind shelling out for nicer ingredients, especially with sugars like honey or getting real maple syrup.

      $36.45/kg -> like $16.50 a pound, but let’s assume it’s Australian dollars (bit cheaper than Canadian) and say it’s US$11/pound. Still an awful lot to pay for peanuts, which you can buy in bulk for less than $1/pound even if they’re very good ones.

      I could be misinformed on this, but I’ve heard some countries outside the US have huge upcharges on things like peanut butter for no other reason than marketing it as a luxury ingredient. But, there could be more to it that I’m not aware of.

        S’true. Not a lot of people in Denmark like it so it gets “rarity pricing” like it’s some kind of exotic delicacy! Don’t you just love it when things cost more for being unpopular?

          I’m Dutch, never been to Denmark, but whenever I encounter something Denmark on TV or in the media I can’t help but think how much we are alike (even the language makes me turn my head to later realize that it is indeed not Dutch). Well, not anymore. Helaas, pindakaas.

            So you’re saying that peanut butter is more popular in the Netherlands? I can see how that would alter your entire (correct, as far as I can tell) perspective 🤔😂

              Unless someone had a peanut allergy, I think I’ve never been in a household that didn’t have peanut butter in the cupboard. Chocolate sprinkles or cheese are two popular toppings.

        I suppose if it’s a rarity in those places I could see it going for a little more, but PB being considered a luxury ingredient does give me a bit of a chuckle.

          Swiss Miss pudding cups

          *googles*

          “Non-fat milk”? You’ve got to be kidding me. Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate is legal over here, specifically in deserts, but raises eyebrows pudding is supposed to be milk, cream, starch, and whatever flavour, if anything you rather see carageen. Yellow 5 and 6 are technically legal but you won’t see them in products, that would be carotene and/or curcumin. Artificial flavours is a definite red flag even though natural ones also often aren’t what you think they are (yes bacteria can taste like strawberries).

          Why is the coconut oil hydrogenated? Why do you remove milk fat but then specifically add fat? And why is the starch modified?

          OLIVE OIL IN BUTTER?

          …no. That would cause several national as well as civil wars in Europe and is thus banned under hate speech statutes.

            That’s actually pretty common in Germany. It’s super practical, you can keep the butter where it doesn’t get rancid but you don’t have to cut butter slices to put it on your bread slice. I currently use butter-flavored margarine for ethical reasons.

            Yeah, Germany already isn’t popular in Europe and we’re certainly not known for our exquisite cuisine.

              Kerrygold extra ist mit Rapsöl und nicht “common” sonst gäbe es das als Eigenmarke. Rapsöl ist geschmacksneutral das ist ne komplett andere Hausnummer aber normale Menschen kriegen ihre Butter auch so auf’s Brot.

              Margarine ist pures gehärtetes Fett, warum tust du dir das an.

                Welches Pflanzenöl das ist ist doch dafür, ob es eine kulinarische Straftat ist, völlig egal. Und es gibt jede Menge Sachen die man zwar in jedem Supermarkt kaufen kann aber die es nicht als Eigenmarke gibt. Hast du schon mal ein Radler von Ja! oder Gut&Günstig gesehen?

                  Olivenöl und Butter haben beide einen starken Eigengeschmack der nicht wirklich zusammenpasst. Rapsöl ist geschmacksneutral.

                  Hast du schon mal ein Radler von Ja! oder Gut&Günstig gesehen?

                  Perlenbacher (Lidl), Adelskrone (Penny), Schultenbräu (Aldi Nord), Grafensteiner (Netto, wahrscheinlich auch Edeka). Fällt halt nur nicht so auf wie produktübergreifende Eigenmarken.

                  Tierwohl, Umweltschutz

                  Kannste auch machen ohne deine Gesundheit zu riskieren. Wie wäre es mit, sagen wir mal, Olivenöl. Vermeide aber das Zeug aus Supermärkten das ist generell Schund, Biosupermarkt hat idR ordentliches auch für nen guten Preis (typischerweise Tunesien oder so), gut und günstig gibt’s das Zeug im Blechkanister online direkt vom Erzeuger. Ich kann Kreta empfehlen. Im Zweifelsfall für den ungeübten drauf achten dass “fruchtig” draufsteht. Harte Pflanzenfette sind selten aber kannst Kokos, Palmfett (auf die Herkunft achten), oder auch Kakao probieren aber das gehärtete Zeug ist kritisch, ist unsere Verdauung nicht drauf ausgelegt weil gibt’s chemisch so in der Umwelt nicht.

      Is that $30/lb? That’s a lot more expensive than the fresh ground PB in Fresh Market and such.
