The word "Spices" is a way they hide undesirable stuff unfortunately.
Need to start growing sprouts again

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Not always, a LOT of times it is to hide propriety ingredients, as, they don't want to give away secrets. I highly doubt there's anything fishy in a real brine pickle. To me spices means spices here. But never had that one.

 

[dragonsfire]

I did notice some of the stuff no longer uses poly 80 in the pickles.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

FDA website states anything listed as SPICES - General Definition - Aromatic vegetable substances, in the whole, broken, or ground form, whose significant function in food is seasoning rather than nutrition. They are true to name and from them no portion of any volatile oil or other flavoring principle has been removed.
 
You may be thinking of "Natural flavors" which can hide stuff not really natural because it goes through a chemical process.
 
The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. Natural flavors, include the natural essence or extractives obtained from plants listed in subpart A of part 582 of this chapter, and the substances listed in 172.510 of this chapter.

True, "Natural Flavour" can be more dangerous, MSG is included as "natural". Just a natural mistrust with the industry to cut corners etc.. lol.

Someone selling pickles with 660mg of sodium per pickle.

One of the main things i like about having prime rib for Christmas dinner.
 
SAMMIES THE NEXT DAY!!!!
 
Thin sliced standing rib roast with portobello mushrooms and gravy on a freshly made garlic bread.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Add swiss!!!! Mmmmm looks good man!

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

I saved enough meat for one more with cheese later. Im out of Swiss but i have some Alpha's Morning "alpine" cheddar. It tastes far more like a Gruyere than a cheddar.

 

[texas blues]

Gruryere or a nice sharp cheddar would be killer on that.
 
Bonus points for the fine dining paper china.

You haven't made a sandwich this year?
 
WTH?

I actually prefer a "Alpine" cheese for roast beef and mushroom sammiches or burgers. Something about the way a "Swiss" goes with the mushrooms and gravy. The vast majority of my cheddars are sharp or REALLY sharp.

 

[texas blues]

My favorite domestic cheddar is Tillamook Extra Sharp.
 
After that, while not really a true cheddar, is Cotswold.
 
You could melt either one on a sammich made from nuclear waste material and I'd eat the hell out it.
