Quinoa is a very good source of protein as well.
While true, I just can't get past the fact that it tastes like, well, quinoa. I have a similar problem with kale.

I love kale; when it is smothered in olive oil, parmessan cheese, garlic and sunflower seeds and topped with a spicy mayo.While true, I just can't get past the fact that it tastes like, well, quinoa. I have a similar problem with kale.

When I was on a liveaboard sailing trip last year, they made kale chips (toasted in the oven with olive oil). I thought I would hate it, because kale, but it was good.I love kale; when it is smothered in olive oil, parmessan cheese, garlic and sunflower seeds and topped with a spicy mayo.

Pending meat shortage, sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy, same as toilet paper. Run out and buy more meat than you can possibly use people, screw your neighbors before they can screw you.
Wonder what she would think of that description.I have a cow-orker
My question on the shortage is it geared toward processed meats and convenience foods? Or is it more toward the raw variety that requires someone to know how to prep and cook?
I've got a couple "older" family members where if it doesn't come out the freezer or have a microwave handy, they're screwed. If I had to guess, I think the frozen food section and mcNuggets will be on the short side way before the raw meat counter will be bare. But then again we always have the neighbor's lap dogs.....Seriously.

So hold the kale then?I love kale; when it is smothered in olive oil, parmessan cheese, garlic and sunflower seeds and topped with a spicy mayo.
It's kind of a peculiar dilemma. Maybe I should just send money.
I'm actually a little torn on that. I can easily fill up my freezer with meat from Sam's Club right now. I'm wondering if it might actually be supportive of their suppliers to do so. Demand from restaurants has bottomed out, so they have plenty of meat. Is it hoarding if the intent is altruistic?
I've also been thinking about going to Sam's Club with the trailer and filling it to capacity with non-perishables for the food bank, but the per-item limits might make that impossible (as well as defeating the purpose behind the limits). Even if I can get around the limits with a letter from the food bank, is it right to hoard on behalf of others?

That might be the most effective. I am guessing local foodbanks (if they are of a sufficient scale) can work with local suppliers to coordinate both what the foodbank needs and what the supplier can provide while still maintaining stock for the needs of the rest of the community. If you go with a trailer to load up for the foodbank you are just making guesses at both of those things. While altruistic and a very good thing to do, it may not be the most efficient use of the money you are willing to donate to the cause.
Are they still making "The impossible burger"? They should have the same distancing issues regardless of processing material. Although, they may still have their fast food clients keeping the demand up.
Maybe you could send money AND volunteer to use your trailer to transport food that they have made arrangements for, if you are so inclined.You're probably right. Writing a check is less gratifying than a hundred-mile round trip playing Santa Claus, but it's probably more practical.

Am I the weird one for actually liking my steak mostly well done? A little pink is fine, but I prefer it cooked through.I’m eating a steak reading this thread. Don’t hate.
Yes it’s overdone. Wifey likes it more done than me.
Apparently President Trump also likes his steak well done.Am I the weird one for actually liking my steak mostly well done? A little pink is fine, but I prefer it cooked through.
Awesome! Great minds think alike I suppose!Apparently President Trump also likes his steak well done.
And with ketchup.
I’ve found the best way to consume kale is by juicing it - seriously. Juice it along with carrots, apples or whatever and you hardly taste it.So hold the kale then?
I'm one, and I still thought that was funny.
Yes it is. My company alone has culled 5,000,000 egg laying hens.

Plant based "meat". It's a hot category right now and apparently there's a quick buck to be made.

And lots of places saying there are not enough eggs at the grocery store. I'm confused. Is supply chain? In that some of your customers are restaurants and they aren't selling as much and the grocery stores are not your customers? Switching supply chains can be a bit more work than driving to a different local store to buy things.
That list closed plants was informative.

Oh, there are obviously enough lemmings out there.
I'll stick to squirrels, thanks.
Rich
Cute little bugger. I love to watch squirrels play. I think they are very entertaining.

Wow. People must actually eat that stuff.

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. I quite like them. They are about the same nutritional level as normal burgers in terms of fats and proteins, but obviously being primarily plant based come at a much lower environmental impact [1] and isn't animal based if one is an ethical vegetarian or vegan (which I personally am not). If I had to compare it to actual ground beef, I would say taste wise they are maybe 85%-90% of the way there and texturally about 75%. I have a friend who is by any definition a meat lover (eats meat with nearly every single meal) and he likes them as well and even orders them in lieu of beef when we go to a specific restaurant that does them particularly well!
Given they have the same fat content as a burger, they are an occasional treat for me, not an everyday item. They are also still quite expensive (although hopefully price will go down as the technology improves). They sell the raw product in certain grocery stores so I keep meaning to experiment with it for things like ragu or "meatloaf".
