Cuisinery Food Market (Eurofood Depot) Revisited

Since Eurofood Depot moved and became the Cuisinery I've been stopping by every 2-3 weeks. Of course, getting the escargot is a must. It's now a staple of the household. I'm usually wary when places are taken over, but in the case of Eurofood Depot, it seems to have really improved the variety of items. There are, of course stuffs that I won't get, like tamales, bacalao croquettes, various seafood, prepared meals, and non-French items. But, we have come up with some items we've enjoyed.

What we've also noticed is that prices on some items have gone down by a buck as well.

And it seem that the Cuisinery is always coming up with some kind of marketing thing. Recently, they started opening on Sundays, and with that, it seems that they now have coffee, tea, and donuts….

Not sure about this….seems very 7-11…….

I do like that the charcuterie and cheese selection has been expanded. Especially since they now carry Epoisses, which Lazy Acres and WF also carry; but they sell it in half sizes.

Yes, it's that stinky, washed rind, cheese that we enjoy. In that previous post I shared the urban legend that Epoisses is banned on public transport in Paris (it's not).

The Missus also enjoys the Brie-style sheep based Perail Papillon.

These are not always in stock; so if you specifically want it, I've been advised to call ahead.

All of this is good, but for us, it's a couple of the frozen food items that we enjoy. Yes, there's the escargot, but after trying a couple of items….yes, there were some not so great choices, there are two that we keep in the freezer for those "lazy nights".

The Bacon Wrapped Wagyu was a surprise.

I do two phases in the air fryer, starting with a air roast and ending with an air fry to crisp up the bacon. I was surprised that the bacon crisps up nicely. It's a savory-salty-beefy treat.

Really nice with a crisp beer or glass of wine.

The other being the Caramelized Onion, Feta, and Bacon Bites. I'll usually make half a box. I'll do the air fryer thing, starting at the prescribed temp, then raising it up by 20 degrees at the end to crisp things up.

It turns out light, crisp, sweet-savory-salty…….

This was a nice surprise. Trader Joe's has a version of this that was terrible, so I didn't have high hopes, but this one is another keeper.

I enjoy shopping at Cuisinery Food Market. This is what I'd hoped Picard was going to be (it was not). There always seems to be something new; whether I'm motivated to try it out is another story, but it's always interesting. Nice folks working as well.
