RIP Minute Maid frozen cans

You know, that sounds delicious. For reasons that are obscure to me, the kosher for passover grape juice is better than the regular stuff. Welsh’s kosher for passover is better than Welsh’s rest-of-the-year, and Kedem is a little better than Welsh’s. (We did a blind taste test two years ago before the seder.) Give it a try.

See I don’t put anything but celery and mayo in my tuna salad so I can’t speak to how the Concord grape plays with your other fanciful concoctions. So, don’t come at me if you mess up the delicate balance of flavors with all your other stuff

Uhm…back on topic….whenever I made frozen oj I liked to take a bite out of it. Like the world’s best orange popsicle

I like celery, a little mayo, and a splash of lemon juice. I like that a great deal more than i like any other “mayo salad” (egg, chicken, etc.) and don’t really want to be adding extra ingredients to it.

Nitpick: The brand is Welch’s, not “Welsh’s.”

Oops. I knew that. :pleading_face:

Best thing you can do for tuna salad is one half Fugi apple diced up fine.

Oh and cheapo pickle relish adds something.

You’re missing a sweet ingredient. This is why you like grape juice with your sammiches.

I, uh, think you mean a Fuji apple. Fuji is Japanese, like the little guy on McHale’s Navy. “Fugi” sounds like something from a sweaty locker room full of unwashed gym clothes. :nauseated_face: :face_vomiting:

Reminds me of fugu, personally. :slight_smile:

I prefer my sweets and savories in different bites. No sweets in my tuna salad, thanks. (Although weirdly, i like sweet pickle relish on hot dogs. But i almost never eat hot dogs.)

Yes of course Fuji.

It was late and it kept auto correcting to Fiji. So I flubbed. Sorry.

Sweet taste with savories are very normal. Apples with pork. Cranberry with poultry. Stone fruits with red meat. Cherry!!

Not for everyone…but it’s a thing.

Man, I remember when I was working in the grocery store back in October 1995, when so many people flooded into the store and started loading up on FCOJ because they’d heard that “OJ was Free!”

I go for Meadow Gold’s Passion Fruit/ Orange/ Guava, aka POG juice (also the origin of the 90s game fad). Nectar of the gods, it is.

When I was a kid we would get big bags of Valencia juice oranges and have fresh squeezed OJ. Valencia oranges have much tastier juice than navel oranges. The juicer was like this one (which is what I use today), but it sat high enough to slide a glass under. I’ve had mine for almost 50 years

I’ll miss the cans of frozen concentrate simply because I live 3 flights up, no elevator, and have to seriously think about what to buy, what to bring up immediately, and what can wait in the car till the next trip. I like the juice in big bottles, but it’s really heavy for me when I’m bringing up a lot of other stuff, too.

Absolutely! In the 60s and 70s we used them as curlers for wavy hair. They were hell to sleep on!

My friend never slept on them. She’d set her hair (relatively short hair) in the morning and let it dry through the morning. We lived in SoCal, so it dried pretty quickly. In fact I haven’t owned a hair dryer in probably 40 years. I always let my hair air dry.

We had a Valencia orange tree in our backyard (a dwarf lemon and a huge grapefruit tree, too.) They definitely were more for juice, but they were great for that.

I hardly ever drink any kind of juice as a beverage, but I hope somebody keeps making the frozen concentrate. I have a couple of recipes that call for orange juice concentrate that has been thawed but not reconstituted with water. It gives an intense orange-juice flavor without adding too much liquid. Orange extract, which is made from orange peel rather than orange juice, is simply not a good substitute. I have noticed in recent years that the concentrate is getting harder to find. If it goes away entirely, I may have to experiment with orange juice powder, which I’ve never tried before.

Every 3 days I’ll make a couple of gallons of green tea and toss in a can of frozen concentrated lemonade and a shot of grenadine (since the pink lemonade vanished locally about a year ago). Guess I’ll have to start juicing lemons, instead. Fuck.

And don’t get me started on my missing Stoned Wheat Thins!!

You can just buy bottled lemon juice; ReaLemon is a commonly available brand and there’s usually a store brand right next to it on the shelf.

But mah pulps!!
