Trader Joe’s New Bacon-Stuffed Ravioli Is Worth Stashing in the Freezer
Bon Appetit ^ | December 21, 2022 | Alex Beggs

Almost every holiday treat at Trader Joe’s this December is like a Mariah Carey Christmas song—a repeat that never gets old. I did appreciate that when I went shopping mid-December, instead of blasting default grocery store holiday music, my Trader Joe’s was playing “Tomorrow” by Silverchair (1995), whose lyrics, “very hard to driiiiiink,” also apply to a new gingerbread oat milk latte. Of the limited edition holiday stuff, I recommend the Candy Cane Coated Almonds (not new) for stocking stuffing and stress snacking. But let’s dive into the new stuff.

...and then wrap them in bacon and mix a little bacon grease into the sauce.

Yum?

I like going to mom and pop place, that way I have no idea what’s in the food I’m eating.

Ruin anything with bacon? Mix with Brussels sprouts. Pass.

Like cheese soup, Randy Mantooth serves them up, with a defibrillator at the ready…

For some of its ethnic cuisine, Trader Joe’s used alternate versions of “Joe”—Trader Giotto’s for Italian items, Trader José for Mexican food and Trader Ming for Chinese cuisine. But a couple-three years ago, some activists complained that this practice was “racist,” and these cute names have almost all been phased out. Now, just about everything is Trader Joe’s.

Probably fully vaxxxxxinated with a booster or two would also put you in the suicide roulette.

Over one million EXCESS DEATHS since the EXTREMELY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE vaxxxxxxxines were forced on the public. As can be seen, the biggest increase of EXCESS DEATHS in the second year is in large part due to the facist mandates, especially Brandon's orders.

Even the almost worthless flu shots are now laced with mRNA death shots. Go get one of them to shorten your life expectancy.

Trader Joe’s Bacon-Stuffed Ravioli causes excess deaths? Well, maybe if you ate ten pounds of it every day for a year.

My yoga instructor’s mom was from the Mississippi delta. She ate fried fish and bacon her whole life.

When she was 80 the doctor told her she had to quit eating like that or she’d die. She tried for two weeks to eat like a California rabbit and gave up. She’d eat what she always had even if it killed her.

She lived to be 96.

And what does this have to do with anything? Post on the wrong article?

Exactly.

What people think because it is bacon. Yet, they will consume hydrogenated oils, no problem.

I think if / when you get to 80 you earn the right to eat whatever you damn well please......after all at that age it’s not what you’re eating now that’s gonna hurt you if at all.....it’s what you ate for the last 60 years.

Doctors don’t know it all.

I went looking for Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce and was told it has been discontinued.

My go-to for many years. Forum discussions have the same sentiments.

Anyone got a close-tasting substitute?

I’m 71 and that’s pretty much my philosophy now. I work to keep my weight down and stay (somewhat) fit, plus still eat lots of fruit and veggies. But I’ve relaxed a lot of dietary areas.

Trader Joe’s has some great frozen meals. Some not so great. Their goyza sauce is awesome. Great with pork dumplings.

The beef with broccoli is great
