covid crazy

the mayo isle was practically bare, who is hoarding the mayo.  i can understand the deli selection being way off but 3 shelves 30 feet wide down to a couple dozen bottles?

shopping is almost like hunting. last two wing packages in the store were, get this, organic, air dried, vacuum packed. the vacuum pulls the liquid out of the wings and they are soaked upon opening the packet. who makes these marketing terms up...

A knock-on impact from covid.  Interesting supply chain read:

I hear the lastest shortage is plastic, which affects lots of the mayonnaise packaging.

the containers is a tough one, china grabs all the containers when you enter the ports, and when china builds new containers at the new inflated steel costs, they get grabbed at the next port. they used to just get swapped as goods were transported to new destinations at the various ports

When the first panic buying wave of the pandemic hit over a year ago, I was shopping at Costco (pallet of TP to resell on eBay) when I overheard a couple trying to figure out what to stock up on for the crisis.  She grabbed a couple of sleeves of tuna cans and put them in the cart.  He put them back and absolutely lit into her, telling her she had to think like a prepper and stick to things that don’t need refrigeration.  You can’t have tuna without mayo and mayo HAS to be refrigerated, so the tuna’s out.

I wonder how they’re holding up.

Anyway, maybe it’s a bunch of half preppers that have made a run on the mayo without really thinking it through like super survivalist guy that I ran into.  How was the tuna aisle?

I've heard farmers are really having issues getting a hold of horse and sheep de-wormer.  Not sure what that's about...

my experience with store bought mayo is you can store it on the counter opened and use it daily. safety police say.....NO WAY

have seen people on horse tranquilizer but never on a de-wormer. just so you know, you need a good scale and the ability to do math

@JohnInCarolina there was a meme yesterday that said glad they put the microchips in the de-wormer

I watched an Hows it Made and the topic was Mayo. The head dude of the company went over how it didn’t need to be in the fridge.

ive seen people store it in their desk at work. i think you are basically fine if you dont contaminate it by double dipping with a spoon you were mixing say...tuna fish. i know i have it over 50 degrees on the boat quite often, then back in the fridge end of day.

Blue Plate doesn’t have to be refrigerated. That’s why many many restaurants use it

Yeah, next we will have to deal with the health crisis from all the hoarders getting fat from the excuse of staying indoors to avoid COVID.

Just because the manufacturer says so, and the FFA, and simple logic, 🤪tHaT dOeSn’T mEAn aNYtHiNg!😜

The problem is when some guy’s wife tells him
to put it away, he’s either too afraid to say no, or unable to explain to her why it is safe. 

And it’s easier to put it in the refrigerator.

i already have a condiment fridge and a beer fridge, now where to put the food...

I still prefer my Mayo cold. 

And I don’t understand why guys get neutered when they get married.

Huh.  I just checked the bottle of Duke’s in my frig and the label says, “For best results, refrigerate after opening”.    
I was raised being taught that the mayo in potato salad was what got all the picnickers sick….

The potatoes are more likely to be the culprit. Old fried rice typically gets blamed for Bacillus cereus, but starchy foods (like potatoes) are culpable, too.

it was the cantaloupe that got the picnickers sick unless it was homemade mayo which im not old enough to ever have seen at a picnic

been looking for sliced liverwurst for a room temp sandwich and a cold beer for lunch the last couple weeks, have lost hope in finding the deli liverwurst.

side note: there was no miracle whip, not as many haters as one would suspect

Legume

I don’t care how safe it is, when it starts to turn translucent at the edges, I’m out.  Probably just the emulsion falling apart, but I’m out.

lkapigian

Homemade mayo will be more likely to go bad@ room temp, it is made with raw eggs, commercial stuff has additives although there are some commercial producers that are going natural

Also, as stated above, double dipping adds to the party, that's why you will see squeeze bottles are ok @ room temp

At the end of the day, make your own, its easy and rule typically use what you make right then...eazy peasy..eggs oil salt acid

Now you did it!  I need to head to Baumgartner's in Monroe, WI for a Braunschweiger and Limburger Sandwich.

Did a Commissary run this morning, they had "blutwurst".
I didn't buy any.  
 
No shortage of mayonnaises (mayonnai?) but imagine the AAFES use a completely different supply chain (for instance, can't find Duke's anywhere else in Utard that I've seen).
