"Meat candy" does not sound very enticing, at least not to me.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Do yourself a favor and get a cheap espresso maker and just fill the entire cup and skip the plastic pods
Just use normal coffee or what I do is a small scoop of espresso then top it up with coffee. Makes a better brew than the shitty pods and no micro plastics
Make your own cheese strings. Get some decent quality mozzarella find the "grains" then cut them in line with em. And just reuse a freezer bag. It tastes better and your not killing the enviorment
The compostable pods are not plastic...or at least not fossil fuel based plastic. The pod itself along with the grounds goes right into yard waste. The pods that I do buy surprisingly come to about the same price I would pay for beans. My parents did give me a coffee pot but that is more for when I have guests. I'm the only one in the house that drinks coffee and it's generally only two cups a day.
I'll look into making my own cheese strings. Seems like it might be pretty simple.
Technically the pods are compostable but that needs to be heated to break down so if you live in a large city that does industrial composting it should be ok, but still probably produces micro/nano plastics. Where I live it's all naturally done.
Same thing is said about the PLA that I use in my 3d printer but has been shown that stuff don't break down naturally as ya would think
Good mozzarella is kinda squishy unlike the crappy bars that are sold beside cheddar/marbled bricks
