Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lox is generally cold-smoked after being salt-cured. Without the cold-smoking, it's gravlax.
But if it's identified as "smoked salmon," wouldn't that seem to mean no salt-curing at all?
I don't really know the ins and outs of appetizing, though.

When I worked at the bagel shop, there was someone who actually ordered cream cheese and lox on a chocolate chip bagel with some regularity.
oh, that's just gross.

Oh! I have a food question for the hivemind: I had (very nummy) beef stroganoff for dinner on Sat. night. I was planning on eating what remains of it for dinner tonight, but suddenly realized I don't know if it would still be okay. It should be, right?

Unless it has been sitting on the counter since then, I'd say it was just fine.

Not really. Since the FDA doesn't care what you call it, lox gets labeled "lox" "Nova lox" or "smoked salmon" mostly depending on regional preference.

It should be, Jilli.
Wikipedia seems to say that every kind of smoked salmon product is brined to some extent or another: [link] Huh.

Again I say huh.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh, hey, did you guys know that Jacqueline Passey Forehead person was the one who started the Save Wash campaign to force Joss to change the ending of Serenity?
FYI.

Oh yay! Thanks for the reassurance. Now I can look forward to dinner.
(Pete goes to a D&D game on Tuesday nights, so I usually spend the evening eating food that wouldn't appeal to him, and doing girly things like painting my nails, using face masks, altering thrift store finds, or watching very cheesy vampire movies.)
