Agree. That list of stores does NOT include "subsidiary" stores of the
listed major store. For instance, my go-to sprmkt is City Market, a
subsidiary of Krogers. (Likewise, Ralph's, King Sooper, etc),

I've never seen that brand at our City Market. 8|

Congratulations, lucretia! You're one of the U.S. firebombers, but we
both knew that. When did you first start hating the United States? Why
would our existence as the premiere capitalist country cause you so
much angst? Do you feel, as a socialist, threatened now?

Do we know that? I haven't seen that they are discontinuing
their brand, or making it cheaper.

They always carried a couple of brands.

There are so many things I always thought would be around and
I should have bought 50 of them while they were.

I didn't 'hate' the US but it is becoming more difficult not to now.
That is your opinion about being the first capitalist country - many
would argue with you and even were it true, your empire is fast
slipping from your grasp.

I am old enough to remember the jibes by Americans about the fall of
the British Empire, well, it's your turn now! However, I would have
to say the BE left behind some good stuff but I look at the US and see
only the terrible turmoil started by GWB in the mid-east.

I am not a socialist in the sense you mean, I have even sometimes
voted conservative but it was back in the 70s/80s when conservatives
up here were small 'c' conservatives not the hard rights they are now.

It's akin to vegetarians/vegans in search of a hamburger made from soy.
It might look the same, but mashed cauliflower will never be mashed
potatoes.

I'm starting to get an inkling of you now. For what it's worth, I think
Winston Churchill was the greatest man of the Twentieth Century and not
by a little. I've never been a fan of the Bushes either or any Democrat
president since I could discern politics. As ds1 says, them's the
breaks. I do believe that the British Empire enlightened much of the
world and was a good thing at the time. I don't think that the sun
still sets on the Commonwealth. That's something.
And I didn't say we were the first capitalist country. Far from it. We
never had an empire either. I admire Great Britain, but I'm a Balfour
man, not a Campbell-Bannerman man, a Churchill man, not a Atlee man, a
Thatcher man, not a Blair man.
You see where I'm going with this.

Agreed! I don't like cauliflower per se but I do like to 'rice' it then
cook it with things like prawns etc with some soya sauce. The soya takes
away the flavour or the cauliflower <g> BTW I haven't seen ready riced
cauli in the shops, but then I've never looked for them.

No it's not. There may not be a retail store near you but you can still
shop JCP online.

Ain't that the truth! Seems like the minute I find a brand I really
like such as cotton shorts, tank tops (my around the house attire) it's
suddenly gone.

I haven't been to the mall in years. You say Penny's is gone now?
I wonder who sells all the Boy Scout supplies now? Penny's always

You can be thankful that a President will only last 4 years if
unpopular. You call him a half-wit but he is a billionaire and
won the presidency too. What have you accomplished? You must be a
quarter-wit?

If your stores carry it, it will be in the freezer section. I've seen
riced cauliflower used in stir-fry dishes as opposed to using actual
cooked rice. I haven't tried it. It does look like small grains of
rice.

Yes, mine does and I use it instead of rice I just rub it on the grater
so it is easy enough.

How much more for the 'rice' than the whole cauliflower? I bet they charge
quite a bit to grate it

Riced cauliflower can be good depending on what it's cooked with.
Just don't claim it's a substitute for mashed potatoes. That's a
fail every time.

He's a billionaire because he inherited money and he won the election
because deplorable halfwits voted for him.

Since our hotshot salesman convinced all our markets to buy frozen
riced cauliflower, I imagine he is now buying an airline ticket to the
UK to sell more there.

It is a good sub for mashed potatoes, certainly not potatoes, but a good
substitute for a mashed side.

You're oversensitive snowflakes. Your country has a high profile, so
you get a lot of comments. Nobody knows my country, so I don't have to
deal with that

Is this the corn? http://tinypic.com/r/2ivhmx/9

We just happened to go today and I decided to look for corn
and large cans of tomatoes, they had those as well. I should
have looked at the price, now that I think of it, to see if it
ended in 97 cents.

Did you read up on him to see how he became a wealthy man and at whose
expense, little guys very like you, contractors etc who never got
paid. Can you honestly say you are proud to have him representing
the US?? Do you believe the rest of the world is not choking with
laughter?

Now people want to know.

Riced cauliflower can be good depending on what it's cooked with.
Just don't claim it's a substitute for mashed potatoes. That's a
fail every time.

Agreed!

This Leo finds the Republicans too left-wing, so you two could be peas
in a pod.

Since our hotshot salesman convinced all our markets to buy frozen
riced cauliflower, I imagine he is now buying an airline ticket to the
UK to sell more there.

I prefer to make my own lol

I mean, it takes five minutes with my big grater, and that is grating two
caulis ) I always do two and freeze some for next time
