We go there twice a week. The second trip is to get what you forgot the
first time.
Fortunately it's only four miles from home. Their Chateaux Chevalier
Champagne, fermented in the bottle for $4.99/bottle is the steal of the
century. It's become our house wine.

I love their spiced apple cider. Mmmmmmmm.

Thanks! We'll try it.

On the other hand, I took some to my buddy's place, and he said, "Hey,
I have some of that." As a doorstop. He'd tried it two or three years
ago and didn't like it, and I'd never noticed that the bottle of juice
holding his back (kitchen) door open was TJ's Spice Apple Cider.

Their V8-type juice is good, too. I think it's called "Garden Salad",
or something like that.

And their juices cost less than juices at my everyday supermarket.

My wife is addicted to the bottled Orangina drink at Trader Jose's
It's worth trying.

Agree that a pizza Margherita is great because it is minimilist.

If it is a frozen pizza wouldn't it have frozen tomato and basil?

Aside from the round slices of cheese on top, it's really just a tomato
and basil sauce.

My comment was that since its a frozen pizza then the toppings really
aren't fresh.

I don't like pizzas where a sauce is used and a pizza Margherita is
typically made with slices of tomatoes and whole leaf basil(don't know
about the frozen one). Since 90% of what makes a pizza is the crust a
pizza Margherita can be really great because of the minimalist topping.


I've never had a real Pizza Margherita (just TJ's sauced frozen version).
Very interesting about the European Union and Protected designation of
origin laws.

So I guess it's not official until I eat one in Italy.

Andy



If its sauced it isn't even close.

Its worth looking for an official version. The best come out of a hot
wood oven where they get some nice charring. We have two shops in my
area that have Pizza Margherita as their main offering and they bake
them in a wood fired oven.

While visiting my son, the college student, I tried his frozen pizza and
it was surprisingly good. It was Red Baron, he told me to only buy the
"Rises as it Bakes" variety.

OK this is not about cooking. After a mere 30 years hiatus without frozen
pizzas I was tempted to try some tonight, California Pizza Kitchens were on
sale for 5 bucks for a thin crust whatever. I got a chicken and garlic and
a Sicilian. Heated up the C&G then sat down with a bottle of Mondavi
Chardonnay.

OK, not entirely bad. Tasty, crust was flavorful and residual moisture was
good, a good garlic flavor - not bad. Perhaps I have been too hard on these
latter day frozen pizzas. When I was a kid we ate them out of sheer
desperation. They were terrible. So dry as I recall that it took a quart
of water to get one of those bitches down.

So of all the millions of these things available, which is worth it? I am
willing to experiment. I also got a couple of Di Giorno thin crust pizzas.
2 for 10 bucks. They seem to actually have real ingredients on them

Frozen pizzas have gotten better over the years. I like the Di Giorno
pizzas. And dare I say, the Essencia brand (Shaw's) isn't bad.

Paul,

As per merryb's recommendation, Trader Joe's Pizza Margherita is a
VERY tasty frozen pizza. Made in Italy, according to the mention on
the box. It's a thin crust pizza.

(sigh) Not everyone has a TJ's within a 200-300 mile radius.





Nearest to me is 32 miles away in Framingham. I do hope they put one in
place of the Shaw's down the street from me. They're closing that store
on the first of September.

But we'll end up with a Whole Foods instead.
