  • That’s fine unless you are buying well in advance and need to know it will still be good by the event. It will also prevent a customer like myself from noticing an item still on the shelf is a week past the sell-by date and should have been removed. Sealed cartons and other packaging prevents us from actually seeing the food, so someone could get home and open it and find it spoilt, wasting their money. “If it’s being sold at the store, it’s fine” is a mighty optimistic view of commerce. Even at a very well -run store I’ve found several packages of sliced Jarlsberg with mold inside, well before the date. And I received one with worse mold from a different grocery delivery. That’s a Jarlsberg problem. I check them carefully, the delivery shopper didn’t. He assumed if it was being sold in the store it was fine.


  • Mine goes in the dishwasher after you reverse-press the fibers into the trash. I do peel the garlic first.

    Now to be fair, I hate chunks of garlic, I just want some garlic flavor in the food if it’s supposed to be there. So I’m never going to just smash or coarsely chop it. I’m also a garlic-sweater so I don’t use garlic at all if it isn’t necessary for the dish. But some delicious foods require it, and I just have to try to plan them so I don’t have something important the next day.















  • But if the post is almost a day old, do you really want or expect to be “top voted”? Hasn’t someone already expressed your general point of view, maybe in slightly different words?

    One thing I’m liking about Lemmy is the sorting options Top Hour, Top Six Hours, Top Twelve Hours. Helps keep the feed fresh especially with my smaller subscriptions not getting lost below the trending topics I might not care much about or that feel already discussed to death.
