FOOD AGAIN!!!!!!

Still have tomatoes ripening on the vine, mostly cherry tomatoes, but have been giving away, and eating, and still swamped with them.
 
Tomatoes are gone, plants pulled up, stakes pulled out, so season over. One last thought on tomatoes, my better half loves this with tomatoes-

OK here we go, both vegans and the rest of us can discuss this. Do you buy generic or name brand foods? I will buy either depending on price, that is always foremost because I am on a strict budget. Only one item in this area do I buy name brand rather than house or generic no matter the price difference. Lays potato chips. There are other name brands which are as good, some specialty house even better, but the price never quit justifies it. I would ask where you shop, but that gives away the area you live in.
 
Depends a lot on the item. I don't buy as many packaged foods as I used to, so that makes it less of an issue too. But bread for example...I almost always buy Ezekiel bread, but if there were more brands/store brands available that made similar items, I would buy those. Canned tomatoes I tend to buy more name brand than I used to because only the name brand packages in a BPA-free can lining. But not all varieties of canned tomatoes have that as an option all the time, so then I buy generic. Or sometimes I prefer to buy stuff in a Tetrapak and those aren't always available in a generic. Canned beans I buy the low/no-added sodium kind, so sometimes there's no generic of that, and so I buy name brand. But if I'm not sacrificing any feature important to me, then I buy generic. It's often the same thing as some name brand, just with a different label anyway. I buy generic of a lot of pastas/grains. Rice I've started buying name brand more often because it seems I manage to cook it with a better texture and I can get non-gmo.
 
I'm a thread killer apparently but I can't help but reply. Black olives in a salad. (Green olives on a pizza.)
 
I'm having deja vu or we've talked about this somewhere before...

I only take olives (black) on my Subway BMT and a Skyline burrito (or in a seven layer dip...).

Now pressed olives I use quite often when cooking.
 
Groundhog (seriously I have eaten it, good with biscuits and groundhog gravy, but that is a story for another time.)
 
Ok, ok just raised the concept because we still have many people in back areas, like mine, that to supplement a meager diet if it can be et it will be. Just for that let's go foraging.
