My food rant.

May 19th, 2008 at 09:41 pm

1. I hate green fruits/vegetables that are engineered to look ripe. Fruits/vegetables are supposed to be fragrant and be tasty (many people don't know that). Even those labeled "organic" in most cases lack these qualities.
2. I do not like that bakeries will try to sell you a day old croissant and other pastries without blinking an eye. They are not edible, I have had to return them.
3. I wish that sushi/perishable items that are supposed to be made daily would be deeply discounted by the afternoon (like in Japan).
4. I wish there were bread shops, like in Europe, where they do both morning and the afternoon deliveries -- so you could get warm bread in the afternoon as well (and could buy 1/4 loaf too).

This is a rich country and we can afford good food, yet we don't demand it and therefore don't get it.

    sorry, but i work in a bakery and i have to say something - the pastries ARE edible when they are a day old, they are not freshly baked, but they are edible.
    that said, we never sell day old pastries. the staff take them home. Smile

    Out of curiosity, just because something is labeled organic, does it address when something is picked. Could it be picked so early that it would ripen without fragrance and taste?

    I have to second what reflectionite said about pastries. They're certainly edible when they're a day old. They might not be as fresh as when they first were baked/opened but they're edible and generally still very good.

    Guys, a day old napoleon is edible (though around here they will cell it for a week) but a day old croissant is not edible to me.

    These things are supposed to be delicious - otherwise there is absolutely no point in consuming that much butter and sugar.
