Be careful if it says CRAWFISH. As I type this (July 22, 2024) My aunt told me there is a huge shortage of crawfish in Louisiana. What normally went for a few dollars a pound for a sack of crawfish is right now going for about $200 a pound for a sack of crawfish.
@DivergentDroid
Ай бұрын
That's because crawfish is out of season thus hard to get. Normally in season Rouses has live crawfish by the sack ( 28 to 35 lbs) at around 2.50 a lbs. For 35 lbs that would be 87 dollars. Btw, you cannot fake live crawfish or even boiled crawfish in the shell.

REAL vanilla comes from Mesoamerica and South America, where the native bees and hummingbirds naturally pollinate the delicate orchid. Madagascar produces a majority of the vanilla sold in stores, but if you want the authentic original, you need to look for Mexico (or other Mesoamerican nation) on the label.

Especially during Easter and Christmas beware of chocolate that says “CHOCOLATE flavored” with the word chocolate being huge and flavored being small. If you want authentic fruit juice, best way is to just make it yourself. I have several flavors of BBQ sauce that I make that have certain fruit juices as an ingredient. I started to notice how juices vary from brand to brand. I just started making it on my own.

Yeah, I've been stocking shelves between two grocery stores for over 14 years now, so please, look for the ingredients on the products or ask for a department manager who should have the computer access to look up any specific information for any given item that comes in the store, provided that the corporations give my department manager/s correct information. I'm 40 & am just a goon that puts stuff on a shelf... and F.Y.I. if you find a box that has been taped closed... it's because the store has someone there that really doesn't like things to go to waste, despite protocol bullshit. You'd know if you stocked shelves for a living. Anything in a bag is not worth tapping, so cereal boxes taped with the bag inside still sealed as I opened the whole case... Haha, love finding 24 pack cases of "Cold" beer I taped up, being moved over so somebody's took the warm cases that I stocked the cold one anyone would first grab from the beer cooler... R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the tape that the people who cares to work to put store products on a shelf as a service to the GENERAL PUBLIC!!... You and your team try to have a good day/night. : )

The only way to protect yourself from this is to get your legislators, to act. Campaign if you have to. Otherwise do read the label. The best way to get a real truffle flavour, is to use truffle olive oil. It's less flavour, but it should be genuine, but again read the label. This makes me glad I live in the UK. We have at least got stricker food rules than you, so for example I buy blended balsamic vinegar, but I know it's blended. It's easier to get real spices in the UK and EU, because we are nearer the source. Lumpfish and trout caviar are cheaper than sturgeon. You can grow your own herbs and dry them, there are texts on what to do. As a Brit, I have never come across fake chocolate, because there are so many famous UK and EU brands on sale.

It is So hard to find real wasabi (and ginseng) in America. The roots take years to grow, and like international tea auctions, the 'real' quality stuff gets snapped up by big money, traditional buyers. I'm a perfume nerd and not easy to fool - actual wasabi has to sit for a bit when made into a paste and only retains its zing for a few minutes, but the flavor profile is So much broader than 'nose spicy.' I still enjoy the fakes but the difference is like Renoir vs A.I. art.

Your info about olive oil is incorrect. You need to look for olive oil with single reserve. Not extra virgin. All olive oil shows country of origin and if it all comes from one country, especially Italy or Spain, it’s likely real. A lot of what you said is relevant but not accurate.
