DeLurker May 22, 2017 Share May 22, 2017 Earlier this year I picked up a bottle of Organicville Miso Soup at Whole Foods. It's a concentrate so the small bottle has 15+ servings. I haven't actually used it to make miso soup, but I've been putting some in my stir fry or fried rice seasonings, into other soups and salad dressings I've been making. I like both the red and white ones. I'm pretty sure it is now a staple of my fridge.

Here's a link I found when researching how to take cigarettes to Australia without being a suspected smuggler. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3572446/Budget-2016-cigarettes-40-packets-make-Australia-world-s-expensive.html Escalating taxes mean Aussies will be paying $40 AUD by 2020. Even now you're paying twice the price of the French! (the map in the article is fascinating). I guess if Aussies continue to smoke it'll be cheaper to buy a ticket to the Philippines and puff away there, especially after 2020! If Mr. Mellow is able to hitch a ride north or check around with his local contacts, I recommend See's Chocolates. They have stores all around the SF Bay Area. I read years ago that Europeans welcomed See's as a host gift - and considering Europe that must be a compliment.

He spent two week with his cousin (their mothers were sisters, and they'd never met) and the first thing he commented on was how expensive food was in Oz.

larapu2000 May 24, 2017 Share May 24, 2017 I agree, I think See's is basic. Like a local chocolatier would be better to try-we Americans like our chocolate on the less milky and less sweeter side than Europeans, (which I think is a good thing). If they can get something shipped to them, I recommend Lilly Handmade Chocolates out of Cleveland, they ship. Their truffles and candy bars are wonderful! Australia and Australian food are waaaaaay more expensive than the US. I don't think I found a bottle of water in Sydney for less than $5 the entire time I was there (I'm sure there were, but good luck, pal!) My sister lived there and found it difficult to have too much extra in spending money because of the price of food, transportation, etc. I will say that Australia is far and away the friendliest country I've ever visited.

Sandman87 August 18, 2017 Share August 18, 2017 For my entire life our family, grandparents included, has purchased French's brand of yellow mustard exclusively for our hotdog and burger needs. Last week while shopping at the local mom & pop market I had mustard on my list, but they were out of French's, so I got Heinz instead. Great galloping Gatsby, that stuff is much better than French's!

Bastet August 18, 2017 Share August 18, 2017 The only mustard I like (among those I've tried) is Chinese-style hot mustard, which is just ground brown mustard seeds and water; I make my own, since it's so simple. I hate vinegar, which is why I hate most mustard. I've mentioned that I hate sour cream, so I only use it when combined with an equal amount of mayo and then the herbs and spices of whatever I'm making (I do that because with the mayo and other flavors, the taste of the sour cream is masked, so I can reduce the fat by swapping out some of the mayo without sacrificing the taste because there's enough else going on to cover up the sour cream). Because I hate it, I use fat-free sour cream, in order to further reduce the fat - why waste the calories on something I don't even like? Anyway, I always buy Knudsen; I tried Daisy once and didn't like it even mixed in with other stuff. But the other day I was picking stuff up at Ralphs (Kroger) rather than my usual local market, and they only had regular or low-fat from Knudsen. But the generic was available in a fat-free version, so with some trepidation I got that. I can't exactly rave about it, because it's sour cream, and thus - to me - inherently gross on its own, BUT - used to make ranch dressing, it tastes the same as the Knudsen. I don't think it was all that much cheaper, but hey. And with the way generic works, it may very well be made by Knudsen.

JTMacc99 August 18, 2017 Share August 18, 2017 If anyone wants to try some interesting and terrific mustards, look up Raye's Mustards. Love their stuff. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/9/#findComment-3561198

Hide it from other family members if you want to make it last more than one day. I tried their cheddar cheese with caramelized onions and was wonderfully surprised. It was very sharp and sweet at the same time. It didn't last long lol.

DeLurker August 18, 2017 Share August 18, 2017 I tried the carmelized onion dip after @Mittengirl's post. I was lukewarm on it at first, but it has grown on me - not to addiction level. I'll need to look for this cheddar cheese you speak of @Mindthinkr... This might be of interest to other TJ fans - Eater did an article on what brands produce under a TJ label. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19119-what-new-foods-have-you-tried-like-it-hate-it-share-here/page/9/#findComment-3561489
