I agree with your la.foodblogging » A Bone To Pick with Trader Joe’s, excellent post.

I am looking for a small euro-style market with fresh produce and prepared items - like an advanced version of TJ.
Does anyone know where to find?

No, it’s already extremely thin, and quite sticky when *fully* thawed… I just found out it’s become a seasonal item, so I am going to have to find my frozen puff pastry elsewhere, anyway. I heard Dufour brand is excellent and made with butter and I think Surfas and Village Gourmet (Studio City) stock it.

On the puff pastry size—if TJ’s is like the national brands, I think you’re supposed to thaw it partially and roll it out slightly to quarter-inch thickness before baking. So one sheet might have made it far enough to line the quiche pan.

You make a valid point. I *want* to like their goods (and generally do) but don’t appreciate deception.

Don’t you know about their greatest return policy ever?
If you don’t like it, you can bring it back for a refund or exchange?!
How sweet is that? They just want you to keep trying new things…

I rather liked this quiche. WIth a small salad it’s the perfect quick meal during the week.

The same thing happened to me! I actually didn’t read the box well enough though…thought there was 1 larger quiche inside. I ate one a few weeks ago, and haven’t even thought of the other one until now. And this is unusual because I usually can’t have items just sitting in my fridge especially if they’re delicious (which they were not). A little too salty. Could not taste the featured ingredients. Too custardy for a quiche. Blah. I still love TJs though.

I’m no retail packaging expert, but I’m sure there are reasons. Shelf configurations? Box-printing templates? Why are milk cartons square and not round? Why are bagged meats and cheeses hung on rails instead of stacked on shelves? Why do fools fall in love?
