The food industry is truly disgusting...

So much cheating is going on with production and labeling. "Smoked" sausages that are dumped into a bath of smoke aroma instead of being smoked, "wasabi" that's just horseradish with mustard and food coloring, "old" cheese that's only ripened for a month and got the rest of its taste from a bottle, "fruit yoghurt" that only contains 0.2% fruit but the label can say "with real fruit", etc. The list is endless.

Yep, the last two things I've replaced the store-bought stuff with homemade is mayo and hummus. No extra or alternative ingredients, tastes better, and is way less expensive.

I'd give credit to @Lilymoon for getting me on the homemade mayo, but her head is big enough already... might be a Canadian thing🤣

@Ontheroad I go to a family run Lebanese place here for their hummus. 🤤

@Lilymoon that's also a great way to get good hummus, but there is something about making it at home that somehow makes it taste better😁

@Ontheroad yeah I'll stick with these guys....and they make their own pita bread 😋

@Lilymoon homemade pita is to die for!

@Ontheroad Yesss still warm 🤤

@Lilymoon there is only one place around here where you can get it still warm, and that's only if you are there when they do the morning and again the afternoon run. Otherwise, you get it in a bag.

I've tried making it at home and it tastes fine, but I struggle to get the pocket... turns out more like flat bread.

@Ontheroad kudos for making everything from scratch. My limit is mayo. Although I may try easy jam one day you can make it with only a few ingredients

@Lilymoon I do enjoy cooking and baking, etc., and since I'm retired, I've got plenty of time to do it.

@Ontheroad well I'm off to make a spaghetti casserole. My hubby is one lucky b**tard 🤣

@Lilymoon and never let him forget it!
