I’m just sayin’: This is what the Associated market on Myrtle Ave. does when it’s garlic gets so old and dried-up that it sprouts: They cut off the sprouts, turn it upside-down onto a styrofoam tray, and shrink-wrap it to defraud their customers. And it’s still there more than a week after several shoppers complained to management about it. If you care about food and your customers, you throw away the spoiled stuff, capisce?

Assos, are we supposed to believe the freshness dates on your pork and chicken?

In happier news: praise cheeses! As of about yesterday, the cheese case is now stocked at Provisions on Fulton in Ft. Greene, and god bless ‘em for it. I like Kraft Singles as much as the next guy, but once in a while, when company’s coming, it’s nice to find something different. Please shop there and keep the turnover brisk for freshness–particularly on the trout. And the oysters. (Oysters, no less– unbelievable.) Best o’ luck to you, Greene Grapers. Thanks for giving a shit.
