IGA and Food Pyramid both mark down their nearly-expired meat, and IGA even does the dairy, but the dry and canned goods never get marked down like that. I've never seen Wal-Mart have reduced-for-quick-sale. Whenever I buy meat anymore its nearly exclusively when it is on sale. If I can't get ground...

I read recently that in the UK there's an entire grocery store devoted to selling recently-expired food for cheap.

Squash and eggplant are also botanical fruits that are confused for vegetables. Americans have no culinary background. All our most iconic foods are European exports that we've corrupted into greasy monstrosities (hotdogs, burgers, pizza). Except Soul Food. That's pretty unique, but most things from...
