Coconut and Peanuts... the beer just wanted to be in the picture. I really don't drink beer. #foodtalk
Those are some huge joints you rolled thereā¦ š
Coconut and peanut? Hmm... I guess it won't be far from eating the coconut fruit and peanut together. Nice combo.
I guess the beer took a nice position, haha.
Seems like the peanuts are wrapped in paper over there. It reminds me of a particular tribe that wraps peanut that way in my country and I like that they have big seeds.
#foodtalk
I think I overdid it with the potatoes... but since they were boiled, I feel less guilt. #foodtalk
This looks delicious just the way I would love to enjoy eating potatoes.
Do you mean that you over cooked the potatoes?
What is the golden brown side dish? Are they chicken nuggets?
#foodtalk
I am not a chef, but an amateur cook, one thing I have learned is that cooking skill is all about timing of when to put ingredient and how much to cook each one of them
#freecompliments
Yeah, that's one of the tips in cooking and when you add a particular ingredient at the beginning of cooking a particular food when the ingredient is to be added towards the end, it would give the food a different taste.
#foodtalk
Yeah.....
I'm having breakfast... #foodtalk
Yummy, that's great. We both had almost the same food. I had bread and omelette for lunch some minutes ago.
Sometimes I like sausage in my eggs but I'm trying to cut down on sausage. #foodtalk
Oatmeal is excellent for breakfast. I mix it with flours or make it with milk. I like it because it can be eaten with everything. #foodtalk
Yeah, oatmeal is perfect for breakfast. I love to add some nuts and banana to mine and sometimes sweetened chocolate powder. #foodtalk
Eggs should always be the star of breakfast. A great way to start the day with protein #foodtalk
Yeah, that's right.
If I would take eggs only for breakfast, I would have them in the form of egg muffins or fried with a variety of vegetables. #foodtalk

Donāt be afraid to mix things up when it comes to early mornings flavors ā you want to awaken those taste buds, after all. Maple syrup and bacon is a classic combo for a reason and works brilliantly on both waffles and pancakes, while apple slices spread with peanut butter and finished with a drizzle of honey make for a healthy, and surprisingly tasty, morning mouthful. A scant sprinkling of salt, meanwhile, might be just the thing to turn your bowl of porridge from mediocre to moreish.

Baked beans are a British breakfast staple, whether piled onto buttery toast or nestled next to the sausages in a fry-up. Homemade baked beans will make any meal, but they do take a bit of time to prepare. The smart alternative is to give the tinned variety a little extra love: when warming the beans through in the pan add a generous glug of Worcestershire sauce, stir in crispy chorizo or bacon bits, add chopped fresh chili and diced tomatoes or swirl through a couple of tablespoons of cream cheese.

Boiling a batch of eggs and storing them in the refrigerator is a great time-saving tip if youāre cooking for a group or want to get ahead with brekkie meal prep. Hard-boil eggs as normal, allowing them to sit in hot water for 8-12 minutes, before transferring to cold water for 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Peel and enjoy with buttered toast and salt and pepper, or slice and layer in a breakfast sandwich with arugula and tomatoes.

NY Post launches Big Apple Schmear cream cheese with PopUp Bagels
From June 12 to June 18, PopUp Bagels is teaming up with The New York Post to create a schmear that captures the essence of New York, the Big Apple!
The lifecycle of a TikTok viral food spot is usually short-lived and familiar to us all, especially in NYC. People flock to the establishment and wait in extensive lines just to see if itās worth the hype. And, eventually, after the buzz dies down, the once-viral spot becomes old news.
#bigappleschmear #food #newyork
However, PopUp Bagels has outlived the brief window of TikTok fame and remains one of New Yorkās most talked-about bagel spots, even after its initial widespread social media popularity.
Now, from June 12 to June 18, PopUp Bagels is teaming up with The New York Post to create a schmear that captures the essence of New York, the Big Apple! The Big Apple Schmear will bring your childhood favorite caramel apple flavor into a sweet cream cheese spread that will pair perfectly with a hot bagel from PopUp Bagels.
After grabbing a bagel at any of the PopUp Bagels locations, finish out your New York moment with a souvenir from our Bodega Breakfast collection and wear your schmear on your heart.
Since its first NYC location opened in April 2023, PopUp Bagels has served no frill bagels with a crispy crust and soft crumb center. Their bagels are served hot with schmears that youāre encouraged to āgrip, right and dipā and enjoy right on the street or on the go.

McDonald's Quarter Pounder gave me E.coli and put me in the hospital
Do you want a lawsuit with that?
A cheesed-off customer impacted by the deadly E.coli outbreak linked to McDonaldās Quarter Pounder hamburgers is taking supersized legal action.
Clarissa DeBock told reporters she didnāt notice anything wrong with her meal while dining with her fiancĆ© at their local Golden Arches in North Platte, Nebraska, last month.
#mcdonalds #lawsuit #ecoli #quarterpounder #food
But five days later, she began to suffer from abdominal cramps, diarrhea and nausea, with her symptoms becoming so severe on Sept. 25 that she rushed herself to the hospital.
āI could just tell that something was off by the cramps, just because they were so bad,ā she revealed to NBC News. āYou get cramps with the flu and stuff, but it was different.ā
Tests revealed that she was infected with E.coli strain O157:H7 ā the same one connected to the recent outbreak.
The 33-year-old receptionist at a surgical center chalks her illness up to the bacterial burger from the fast food giant.
āItās just scary, I guess, just because you trust them as a fast food place. Youāre putting your trust in them to provide safe food,ā she said.

I'm a doctor ā these are the 3 worst chemicals in your food that could damage your health
An expert says consumers need to beware of an unholy trinity of food additives.
California gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi has taken to TikTok to call out three potentially carcinogenic chemicals found in many processed foods sold in the U.S.
His warning comes as more than 1,000 cereal lovers and health activists marched on Kelloggās Michigan headquarters earlier this month, demanding the end of āharmful additivesā being injected into stateside batches of products like Froot Loops and Apple Jacks.
#food #chemicals #food #dyes #health
Recent research has shown that 60% of adult Americansā daily caloric intake comes from ultra-processed foods (UPFs) ā and for children, itās 70%.
A study published by the BMJ revealed that exposure to UPFs was associated with 32 poor health outcomes, including mental, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and metabolic complications. Some of the linked conditions include cancer, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Nomad's Brass polishes up to give diners a glimpse of NYC's golden age
Sexy, with suede-and-leather banquettes, white tablecloths and 1920s-influenced frescos and an antique piano in the middle of the floor suggested a party waiting to start.
Brass is a restaurant that makes grown-ups feel younger. It has all the buzz of an Instagram-powered eatery aimed at the Gen Z trust-fund crowd but with a higher comfort level, professional service and a French-American menu that makes ātraditionalā seem trendy.
#food #diner #nomadbrass #restaurant
Tucked deep inside the century-old Evelyn Hotel at 7 E. 27th St., plush-and-pretty Brass is an Art Deco-inspired jewel box. Meant to evoke the āgolden ageā of New York society, itās the newest entry in the mushrooming Nomad hotel-dining scene, which now includes Cafe Carmellini at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Jose Andresā Bazaar and Zaitainiya at the Ritz-Carlton Nomad and Cecconiās at The Ned.
Brass is the brainchild of the duo behind wildly popular bistro/wine bar Wildair, Jeremiah Stone and FabiƔn von Hauske Valtierra. They teamed up with owner Nick Hatsatouris to take over what was previously Benno, a high-end Italian spot that fell victim to the pandemic.
Brass opened with 70 seats last month soon after its āsisterā venue Tusk Bar, the same teamās rowdy cocktails-and-oysters lounge down the hall. Hatsatouris said customers might āstart their evening at Tusk Bar, then move to Brass.ā Each is its own venue but given how hard tables are to come by at Brass, you canāt just pop in after you slosh your way through a few King Tusk martinis at Tusk.

Why cook a full Thanksgiving spread when you can get a taste of all your Turkey Day faves in one bite?
DiGiorno, for yet another year, is selling its famous Thanksgiving pizza with all the fixings ā green beans, gravy, cheese, onions, cranberries and, of course, turkey ā atop a Detroit-style pizza crust.
#food #thanksgiving #turkey #pizza #digiorno
The $10 frozen pie will be available exclusively at Kroger stores through the end of November.
In 2023, DiGiorno debuted the limited edition pizza, igniting controversy online about appropriate toppings, as the Turkey Day spread seemed to become more contentious than pineapple.
On the Today Show, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager taste tested the concoction live on air, as a wary Hager said she was ānot sure that Thanksgiving and pizza need to come together.ā
āFrom Friendsgiving parties to Turkey Day tables, weāre thrilled to provide a bold new way to appreciate the traditional Thanksgiving spread,ā Kimberly Holowiak, senior brand manager for DiGiorno, previously told Food and Wine in a statement last year.
āOur passion is pizza, and we are always looking for unique ways to infuse the fresh-baked taste of DiGiorno into moments of celebration ā even the most traditional holiday dinners.ā

Kroger is one of the largest grocery store chains in the United States, with a rich history dating back to 1883. Here's a brief overview:
Early Years (1883-1919)

Kroger, Albertsons merger trials end in Colorado, Washington
Colorado judge will make decision on Nov. 15; no date set for Washington
The simultaneous Kroger, Albertsons merger trials in Colorado and the state of Washington heard closing arguments this week, and in both cases they focused on the same points as the recent federal case against the merger: competition, prices, and jobs.
In Washington, where the pending $24.6 billion merger would impact nearly half of the stateās grocery market, the case wrapped up Tuesday.
#kroger #albertson #merger #colorado #washington #grocery
When he first filed the suit in January, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said the deal would lead to higher prices for shoppers. On Tuesday in King County Superior Court in Seattle, the stateās lawyer Attorney Glenn Pomerantz said during closing arguments that the Kroger and Albertsons banners compete daily in basically every facet of grocery, including promotional prices, quality of products, and even store hours, reported local media affiliate Fox 13.
The merger would eliminate the head-to-head battles, leading to higher grocery prices in the area, Pomerantz stressed.
The merger deal also includes the divestiture of almost 600 stores, which would be sold to C&S Wholesale Grocers. The legal team representing Washington questioned if C&S was capable of handling such a task while maintaining the same standards of quality, pricing, and service, reported Fox 13.
