Food in the kitchen is usually measured in pounds for meat and vegetables (similar to the UK) and grams for most other dry goods. So the recipe would call for 2 pounds of beef but 5 grams of salt. The Costco hot dogs are guaranteed to weigh at least ¼ pound.

The most confusing thing is soda, because it is sold in containers of either 350 mL, 16 oz, or 2 L.

Edit: Photograph of Costco hot dog. They are also sold at the food court for $1.50 each, and it comes with unlimited soda from the Coca-Cola machine in the background. This is probably why Americans are so fat.

They’re like $12 for a pack of 18 huge ones at Costco

It tastes similar to Kraft macaroni and cheese (known in Canada and potentially other countries as “Kraft Dinner”). So I would guess young, unaged cheddar or Colby cheese. There is also probably a good amount of whey powder, which is a by-product of cheese production.

It’s not fake, just highly processed.

This is fantastic news for the Mamdani campaign.

If this had been a right-wing politician’s rally instead, every conservative in the country would be calling for all members of the Democratic Party to be hanged for this heinous crime, regardless of the identity or motive of the perpetrator.

In the past, the Supreme Court has ruled that penalising someone for failing to file or omitting information on a form which would incriminate them violates Amendment 5.

The case was regarding a tax imposed on gambling. People who ran gambling operations had to pay a tax of 10% of the amounts wagered and register with the IRS. At this time, gambling was illegal (almost) nationwide. The IRS then made those registration records available to gaming authorities, who would use them to prosecute anyone who registered.

The court ruled that forcing them to register and then providing this information to gaming authorities to prosecute people violated Amendment 5, and thus a person so convicted for failing to register could assert an Amendment 5 privilege against conviction.

The fact that one side is a piece of shit doesn’t mean the other side isn’t also a piece of shit

The more I hear from this woman, the more I feel like there might actually be a decent heart deep down inside who wants to better her country, but is being hindered by an incredibly stupid brain that is calling the shots.

Remember that one of the biggest contributions to women’s liberation was the invention of the washing machine.

Um… yes??

Did you read the linked article? The regulation doesn’t define ketchup as a vegetable. It explains how that was a thing people concocted to attack the proposed nutritional standards as being too lax.

Not sure if you made the recipe already, but I recommend baking it for longer than it calls for, because the “pourable pizza dough” is really watery and will be undercooked otherwise. You should probably bake it for an additional 7–8 minutes more than it says to bake it for before adding toppings, and then keep it in the oven for another extra 2–3 minutes once toppings are added. I get that school pizza does not necessarily taste great anyway, but I think this change improves the flavour a lot.

The State will spend hundreds of dollars a day to keep someone locked up but don’t worry because they will make it back by skimping on five dollars worth of food and serving people mystery product #4291 instead.

The rectangular pizza is not actually that processed. It comes from a US Department of Agriculture recipe and you can make it at home using common grocery store ingredients, although the USDA recipe is intended to make 100 servings.

The recipe does call for something called “pourable pizza dough” but there’s a recipe for that too and it’s basically just very thick pancake batter.

Ketchup is not considered a vegetable in America. That is a myth. Some random school official essentially made the equivalent of a shit post (said something stupid in a meeting with no serious intent) and local papers ran with it.
