So I was at the store this morning, and I saw this whole section of enormous containers. Beans, ketchup, hot sauce, mayo, chili, pickles, ranch dressing, tomato sauce, salsa, you could get a whole shitload of it at once.

I wasn't quite sure just why any average person would need such a thing, though.

Have you ever bought an instituion-sized container of something?

Those are for cookouts. Today is Father's Day and July 4th is coming up soon.

Giant cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli are for cookouts?

Those are for poverty stricken 'people' with too many children.

Why did you even mention this? Are you implying that the stores don't stock the huge containers in times when holidays aren't near?

>> No.6612915

Sure, for the big family gatherings with children who don't want to eat the burgers, brats, tacos, etc.

There's breakfast food there too. This is where you stock up when you're feeding a bunch of people at once.


I shouldn't really have to explain that, but look where I am.

Does anyone here actually make their own sauces, jams, or rubs? Green goddess, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, or jelly, etc...

Not saying they don't always have them, but they don't always group them like that. It's because it's time for big summer gatherings.

They do the same thing at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but with different foods.

Your recipe sounds very salty, how is anyone going to be able to appreciate the talapia if they get a mouth full of kosher salt?
You're not thinking things through. Do you even taste your own food?

Don't listen to this faggot.

OP, that section is for people too stupid to have a membership to Sams Club, Costco, BJ's, etc. Once in a while I'll see a minority fill her cart up with that shit to feed her 8 children from 7 different men.

I once bought 50 ortolan birds alive with a small barrel of cognac. But after 8 birds I was finished and nobody else wanted to eat them so I had to throw it away.

Those are for cookouts, church gatherings and such, and for emergencies when a restaurant is out of shit and can't wait two days for a delivery and have to bite the bullet and pay grocery store prices.

What's wrong with buying a huge container so that you don't have to pick up more when your small containers go empty?

My ex had like five brothers and sisters and their entire pantry was stuff like this.

If you get normal sized containers in a family of 7+ people shit runs out in like a day.

Some people really go overboard. I was at a 4th of July BBQ last year and I was amazed because the family made EVERYTHING. Not just burgers and dogs, but sausages, chicken, ribs, and steaks too. They had potatoes, eggs, rice and beans, corn, 2 different salads, and 2 different pastas, one of which was a giant bowl of ravioli.

this. i grew up in a house of 10-12 and we had giant containers of everything. i still can't break the habit and will buy some things in bulk like that, especially if it's things that won't spoil quickly.
