this is a public service announcement (PSA) to anyone who purchased, had purchased, or will purchase trader Joe's gnocchi
it is sour, unusable garbage!!! it leaves a sour, nasty taste in your mouth after as well
do not use this shit! get your gnocchi some place else
pic related: the gnocchi in question I threw in the fucking trash can where it belongs
almost ruined my soup had to put fusili in cause that's all I had

Is it expired? How did you cook it?

>>21394088
no I bought it just this Saturday
I just boiled it, then dumped the water cause last time it was sour as well
I figured boiling, then draining would get rid of most of the lactic acid but now I'm thinking maybe it needs to be washed like rice

>>21394085 (OP)
They're sourdough gnocchi and personally I like them. But yeah, they should be labeled differently so people like you who don't like that kind of flavor profile don't buy it expecting regular gnocchi.

>>21394096
it's sourdough??
these mfers gotta label their SHIT

>>21394110
Nearly any shelf-stable gnocchi you can buy will be sourdough. The lactic acid that gives it its sour flavor is also a preservative, and gnocchi can't really be made shelf stable without that.

>>21394115
shieeet
gotta find me some fresh gnocchi(?) then
anyways,
wa la

dig in bros we got some creamy chicken pasta soup coming up

>>21394119
Looks like great soup. If they have it at your Trader Joe’s I think the tri color mini gnocchi in the refrigerated section is not sour (I haven’t had myself)

>>21394917
ohh, def gonna have to try those next time
and yes, it was very good, I'm addicted to it despite my lactose intolerance making me shit hard
I forgot the spinach tho

>>21394119
>gotta find me some fresh gnocchi
Anon make your own. Gnocchi is one of the easiest things to make (in contrast to pasta which is a pain).
- Cook some potatoes in a microwave
- Rice them in a potato ricer. If you don't have one mashing works too, just slightly less nicely
- Add an egg
- Add as little flour as possible to get it to form a cohesive dough you can form
- Put in boiling water
- Once they start floating (~2 minutes or so) remove and either put into cold water (to stop the cooking) or immediately eat.

10x better than store bought gnocchi, no sour taste and healthier.

>>21394125
That's a tasty looking soup.

>>21394085 (OP)
>>21394088
it's sour because they use citric or lactic acid as a preservative. otherwise how would it stay on the shelf?

>>21394085 (OP)
whats the best things to get at tjs now? I am pretty sure they changed the formula of their dunkers a couple years ago they are too sickly sweet now

>>21397064
you make it sound easy, im very tempted now
although im probably gonna try with the multicolor gnocchi, since theres no acid in the ingredients
and yes it was quite tasty :^)
i am sad now it is gone
>>21397192
idk i thought it was dried or something

>>21397195
the tomato soup is fukken choice

>>21397605
>you make it sound easy, im very tempted now
If you have a ricer and a microwave it's criminally easy. Without them, it's still not hard, but takes a bit more time.
But if you like the ones from the supermarket, then obviously in terms of ease that's hard to beat.
I've just always found gnocchi that are homemade and store bought to basically be distinct products, store bought gnocchi rarely actually taste of potato.
Anyways, I recommend to try it out sometime, worst case you find it too annoying and wasted half an hour, best case you got a tastier way to make gnocchi with a lot more potential for variation.

>>21397610
what else can i make with a ricer, it kind of seems like a unitasker

>>21397637
It pretty much is, I'm afraid to admit.
You can make mashed potatoes or gnocchi mostly.
I also use it for ice cream, which is a german thing though and mostly done because kids love it (picrel).
You can use it for other stuff, like egg fillings or apple sauce, but honestly that's approaching cope territory.
It's very much a unitasker. I'd argue one worth having, but that doesn't change that that's what it is.

ice cream noodles...
if the store bought ones dont work out ima just mash em

>>21397657
>ice cream noodles...
It's really simple:
- you put some whipped cream on a plate
- press vanilla ice cream through a ricer over it
- then add some strawberry sauce to imitate "tomato sauce"
- optionally grind some white chocolate over it to simulate parmesan
The cold ice cream will freeze the top of the cream while the inside stays soft, it's quite a pleasant experience. I think they originally added it to bulk up the product/save on ice cream but personally I really enjoyed the cold cream inside.
>if the store bought ones dont work out ima just mash em
That's totally fine. The end result will be slightly less aery and pillowy, but still more so than store bought, so it's still a net positive.

>>21397605
>idk i thought it was dried or something
they are drier than freshly made ones but if they were dry enough to preserve them it would be impossible to cook

>>21397710
isnt it pasta? what makes it different from pasta
t. non-italian

>>21397815
it's at least half an inch thick? do you have a brain?

>>21397836
