Re: Great (and not-so great) finds at Whole Foods
 

I didn't know what TJs is until I started writing in the quick reply box about how Trader Joes is so much better than Whole Foods in my opinion. lol

Anyways, there's a Whole Foods in my area instead of TJs. Surprisingly a lot of students shop there. (how can they be complaining about the recent spike in tuition if they're shopping at Whole Foods?) I've never been there since I started college because my parents aren't here to pay for the pricey items, but I think I should give it a try.

El D,
Nice bump I let this one thread slipped by. Please try white nectarine next time. I've never heard of nectarine before until a guy from the produce section at Gelson's cut one for me and told me to try it.

whole foods also has ready cooked & frozen lobster meat in frozen fish section next to the fish market.

expensive (as you can imagine) but worth it. i made a lobster ceviche for my gf a while back and the lobster was excellent.

Are you sure you made ceviche?

ED: Parlay, this sort of post is not acceptable in EDF. I am not deleting it because it's funny to rip on dcifr, but just wanted everyone to know that this sort of post is not acceptable here.

THE WHOLE FOODS IN PALO ALTO NOW CARRIES MOOSE DROOL!!!!!! I'm so happy about this. I love this beer.

Re: Great (and not-so great) finds at Whole Foods
 

In their deli section, I like the Edamame Succotash and the Cranberry CousCous. (Although I think calling it Edamame is just a way of making soybeans sound fancy). Tasty stuff.

Daver, 7, Parlay:

I thought ceviche was just raw seafood cured in some acidic marinade like lime juice and you could use any seafood?

Oh wait, OK I see your point. I assumed he was talking about two things WF carried "ready cooked lobster meat" & "frozen lobster meat." Now I see he's likely just talking about one thing "ready cooked frozen lobster."

Re: Great (and not-so great) finds at Whole Foods
 

It's pretty common to use cooked lobster for ceviche. If he made the same thing in a restaurant kitchen and called it Lobster "Ceviche", nobody would bat an eye.

sorry for misbehaving in the El D forum, and it does seem that the basis for my blast is a little suspect

Re: Great (and not-so great) finds at Whole Foods
 

ed,

I don't really know anything about lobster meat or preparation, but I don't think it really matters if what you say is right or not. The main point here is really just that it's fun to pick on Dcifr re: nitty semantic/precision type things.

OK everyone. Enough silliness for the time being. Back to evaluating stuff from Whole Foods.

BBQ Tri-tip deli sandwich. $7.99. Good quality meat with cheese and bell peppers and onions. This was very tasty but was more like a cheesesteak (except w/ thicker meatier slices of meat that I guess were BBQ seasoned with a little sauce) than what I think of as a "BBQ sandwich." Still, I recommend it, quite tasty.

Chicken Parmesan deli sandwich. $7.99. I found this to be somewhat bland, and not very good. The chicken parm was OK, but not great. I also felt the bread/filling ratio was off, far too much bread (a thick roll). I don't recommend it.

Re: Great (and not-so great) finds at Whole Foods
 

two questions ELD/others,

1) are Amys products still good for you, even thought they are frozen? I know they dont use preservatives and such, but i was always of the belief that most nutritional content was deysttoyed during processing of frozen 'meals'. of course this information could be dated, flawed and/or not applicable to Amys foods.

2) can each poster be allowed to point out Dcfrthis is a tool at least ONCE in this forum?

I believe studies have shown that frozen vegetables can have all the nutritional content of fresh vegetables.
