campbell's slow kettle chowder

very thick & starchy. Kind of clam flavored but has that same back taste of "something else" just like campbell's chicken soup.
Big chunks of potatoes, bits of celery, v tiny clam pieces. Decent seasoning.
Explodes like a cannon when microwaved, keep covered when heating.
Like the "with thyme"on the label. I make homemade with thyme, nice touch.

Strange ingredients: beef extract, smoke flavoring
"applewood bacon" which they say has pork, salt, and smoke flavoring.
then also pork & smoke flavor.

1st 5: clam stock, potatoes, clams, cream, vegetable oil (?)
Can't figure out why this isn't better.

captain parkers chowder

Absolutely astonishing in its quality. Very rich and flavorful, lots of clams and chunks of potatoes. The first chowder I've had where I've gotten clams in every single spoonful.
A little starchy but not bad.

onions and flour
anchovy, cooked shrimp, pollack, and crab, even salt pork like home made.

fats

Lard

• Large fat crystals make flakier pastry (cite earlier pie crust recipe, give a biscuit recipe)
• Doesn't smoke at high temp
• 20% less saturated fat than butter
• Don't use hydrogenated lard (give list of brands)
• hydrogenation/trans fats
• 1.75 cups makes crusts for 2 pies. Cut each pie into 8 slices, and there is 5.25 tsp lard in each slice. Cut the pie into 6 slices, and there is 7.2 tsp of lard in each slice.

Shortening

• hydrogenated
• vegetable, "creamed" (animal tallow)

Butter

mendelsohn's lasagna

No ricotta, lots of mozzarella on top, none in layers. Sauce is moderately spicy, but SWEET as candy - shit ton of sugar in this. Kosher. Sweet enough that it gives my diabetes a boner.

Umpqua Oats

Kick Start - rich with seed, very nutty flavor, oats not too refined so they were toothy and very good. Not too sweet, but enough to take the bland edge off

Mostly Sunny - cranberries, raisins, apples, evap cane juice, cinnamon. hearty, good body, chewy, satisfying.

Old School - lots of apples, some raisins, cranberries, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds for chrissake. Not sweet at all but pleasant, chewy, really good.

I hate plain oatmeal but I could eat this shit every day.
