No purchases today . At all. The mechanic came to take my car at 7.30am, and I was blowed if I was going to walk a km uphill, in the blazing sun, just for 200 gms of butter!
What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2024)?

Cool! I could probably work my way through half of that in the next year or so..
I was curious about the chow-chow. I've seen it over here, but as mustard pickle. I've seen rascal eating ham and chow sammies ( which I assume was mustard pickle. However, the chow chow in the photo looks remarkably lacking in mustard, so what is it, exactly?
There are almost as many recipes for chow chow as there are people who make it. As I’m out and about, I’ll get some pics for you of the ingredients.
Butter is an odd ingredient for chutney/pickle
I have no idea, but here come a whole lot more. Let’s see what else we can uncover:
…and a little blurb about it: Chow-chow (food) - Wikipedia
Things I didn’t buy, but encountered today, so I thought I’d share:
Haven’t seen the term “cushion meat” in quite a long time.
Nope, not for me!
Hmmm…
Nope, also not for me!
Yes, very much for me!

That looks great. I could snarf that down with some pastrami or corned beef.
Spices? At a closer look, I think I detect mustard seeds, celery seeds and dill seeds.
Agree with you. Very unusual!
I fancy the head cheese.
It was also one of the specials at breakfast!
Ah - in which case that is what I'd choose. I didn't really like anything else listed on the menu you posted - but in general I'm wary of US breakfasts. I would usually choose eggs from a breakfast menu (or kippers or haddock if available) but I know the tendency for American eggs to be overcooked.
MrsT’s egg was lovely and runny yesterday. You just have to know how to order them - even scrambled.
So how do you order soft creamy scrambled egg or an omelette which is soft inside.?
We are off topic...
