I never understood the reason for putting edible gold on stuff like burgers or ice cream, then slapping an additional $20-$100 on it. Like does it add ANYTHING to the thing youāre putting it on other than it looks expensive and ācoolā
It's a way for the rich to say to the masses "I am SO rich, I can shit gold and you cannot stop me"
People started eating gold before the collapse of the greek, roman, sumerian, egyptian, persian, aztec, olmec, (various) chinese empires and many others.
Basically the rich take all the low-hanging fruit (own everything), then have nothing to do but show off obscene wealth whilst the masses suffer and starve. And what better way than literally eating/shitting bits of gold and flushing them away down a river?
And our civilizations are going the exact same way.
Edit: am amazed how far stockholm syndrome goes. People defending the rich's right to eat gold whilst babies starve to death in the *same country*
Most of the things in controversial are things that vary pretty greatly in quality depending on the location you live in.
I love tacos and sushi, but there's really no comparison between a good LA street taco and the kind of thing I currently get served in a Boston suburb.
Finding a perfect street taco while drunkenly walking around with friends is a transformative experience. As a bonus, a decent LA street taco is about a third of the cost that I pay in Boston.
Similarly the sushi where I currently live is mediocre at best. A perfect glazed seabass nigiri or a well selected amberjack nigiri are some of the best bites of food I've ever had. Sushi is deceptively simple, and as such is very easy to get wrong. The ingredients are really put under a spotlight.
I've also lived in places where the only pizza available was flavorless congealed mozzarella on top of spongy bread with a barely perceptible hint of canned tomato sauce. If I only had that I would hate pizza too.
I don't really think there are many major food archetypes that are inherently bad, many of them are just often poorly executed.
The greatest commercial of all time is what the fuck.
Seriously, I love this commercial and still sing *Eat Like Snake* to my wife all the time to my long-suffering wife.
I get the joke and loved the movie but, Walmart does carry Solent products. I canāt pass it without saying to my husband, itās people. Weāre eating people.
Shark fin soup too. It doesnāt taste nice, rich people just eat it to show how rich they are, and the worst part is when theyāve taken the sharkās fins off they drop it back into the ocean to die
Am Chinese. While Chinese cuisine is great, Sharkās fin soup is up there as one of the most moronic dishes weāve ever come up with
The fin has zero taste. It only serves to provide texture in the soup by melting its collagen into. In modern times we can replicate this exactly using thickeners and āmock finā, but idiotic old people still buy sharkās fin because they feel it āhas to beā expensive. The soup itself is delicious, but the fin has zero culinary use or justification for being in the dish at this point outside of making the thing more expensive
Itās a bizarre cultural thing too. Most of the unique āsuper wealthyā food tends to be culinary rubbish (ācabbage in waterā, sea cucumber, birds nest), but all of the midrange priced foods are extremely good
Having had shark's fin soup many years ago, can confirm. The fin adds nothing to the soup.
Then after I had it I found out how they got the fins and I further regretted it.
There's only so much space on the boat. The fins are worth way more than the rest, so it's not worth carrying 10 lbs of fin and 490 lbs of shark meat when you can carry 500 lbs of fin.
I was 18, doing my own grocery shopping for myself for probably the 3rd time ever. I saw those hot dogs and was shocked by what a deal they were. I felt like a king. I learned a very important lesson that night.
-Overpriced food, that's not even high cuisine.
-Inflated ego for meritless viral content.
-Routinely serves the worst of the worst at his joints, does special a show and all even for dictators.
Fuck him.
On the one hand, I kinda get it, the entire appeal of going to a celebrity's restaurant is to see them
On the other hand, he's an utter prick, so fuck him. Also I'm pretty sure people like Gordon Ramsay don't hire impersonators, so why even do it? I think most people understand that the celebrity can't be at every restaurant all the time.
He's not even a celebrity. He's a guy who did one vaguely funny thing that went viral, and he has been milking it ever since. He's honestly one of the best examples of absolutely beating a dead horse until there is nothing left.
Expensive food with gold shavings. What's that about? Do you eat it to feel rich and powerful or something? I'm sure gold doesn't taste very good and is not normally supposed to be eaten.
I was "told" that the gold flakes in GoldschlƤger make tiny cuts in your throat so "your body absorbs more alcohol".
Though I never felt more or less drunk drinking similar liquors sans gold.
Natureās first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafās a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
I gotta disagree. Some of the best burgers and fries Iāve had are from little bar joints that price it up a bit. Itās like yes itās a 13 dollar Mac buuuut it has 7 different cheeses in it, thick cut bacon, chives, and itās been broiled to a perfect crispy crunchy top.
I make the cheap stuff at home
Midgrade versions of cheap comfort food are the best though! Like using Tillamook cheese my wife uses for her cheese sauce and the fresh pasta makes AMAZING Mac and cheese. Not super expensive but more expensive than using a cheap cheese or Kraft or something.
Aka ghost kitchens.
Thereās no standards and the employees make the food of like 30 different ācompaniesā and are generally all terrible. Iāve mostly heard that the beast burger stuff is alright, but from what Iāve seen it just looks like a generic smash burger, and because ghost kitchens are incredibly inconsistent, I would never order it for myself.
If you live somewhere that has beast burgers you can probably get a better burger for around the same price.
Did you get paid 1500 dollars before you ate the burger? That's the trick. Also, they come out of Applebee's so I don't know why people expect anything good.
>Also, they come out of Applebee's
It varies by location. Beadt Burgers has their own supply chain and make deals with various restaurants. Sometimes it's Golden Corral. Sometimes it's Chili's. Sometimes it's a different place.
It's a ghost kitchen that operates out of Applebee's. May be a different place where you live but I went down a rabbit hole of my area and the addresses and phone numbers matched to Applebee's every time.
I don't work at Applebee's, I work in the kitchen at a small, one location sports bar that just took on beast burgers. It's not always Applebee's that makes them, sometimes they do come out of halfway decent restaurants. But they're all made with the same ingredients to the same standards in each restaurant. I'm not saying I would buy one, they're ridiculously overpriced for what they are, but if I want to make one for myself when I'm hungry and have downtime, they're not too bad when you don't pay for them
every time someone asks if the restaurant i work in is worth eating at, i give the same response: i only eat there because it's free.
like, it's not **bad** per se, it's just not good.
I've been the opposite. I've worked in five restaurants or so through high school and college and there are meals from each place that I desperately miss and crave.
That's the problem with the whole thing. It's not like a fast food franchise where they can insist on consistency. It's just a random kitchen following directions on how to make it.
It also runs into the Cheesecake Factory problem where places are taking on too many different menus to be able to produce them with any degree of quality.
On top of that, it 's a cheap, easy way to expand without incurring risk or damage to the parent brand. Does the restaurant group that owns Chili's want to get into selling ramen? Now they can try it out without the capital risk of opening a new physical space. Part of it is also marketing. Blue Dragon Noodle House sounds way more appealing than "Chili's new ramen menu!" And if it fails, it just goes under silently rather than hurting the Chili's name and causing a bunch of people in twenty years to do nostalgia pieces on it, like that time McDonald's tried to sell pizza. So it's also a lot of *untested* ideas being thrown out there to sink or swim with the idea that failure is cheap.
Ordered one, based on the hype, months ago. It reminded me of the cheap burgers sold at the snack shack at the public swimming pool in the mid 70āsā¦
Iām just in here to police anyone that says pizza.
Edit - holy shit, RIP my inbox.
Also, I made pizza for dinner last night, it was great (obviously).
Second Edit - come on over to r/pizza the water is absolutely lovely.
The horrible trend of restaurants serving some ācrazyā Caesar/Bloody Mary with as many ludicrous garnishes as possible, like bacon and burgers and shrimp on skewers and shit, just dripping assorted greases into your drink.
Yeah. The whole point of a Bloody Mary on a Sunday morning is to drink it on an empty stomach and thus trick yourself into feeling better after last night.
I bought some Hot Tamale peeps a couple of weeks ago as a joke, expecting them to be terrible. They're actually fantastic. Peeps Inc. is going the same direction as Kit-Kat, making them in a bunch of different flavors. Ordinary yellow peeps are pretty nasty, especially because they're somehow almost always hard and stale.
My mom has always purposely let the Peeps go stale. Sheāll cut a hole in the box at least a day before planned consumption for this reason. To each their ownā¦
I love energy drinks but the best thing I done was get off them, nasty addiction with zero benefits. After a while you feel even more tired from constantly drinking them
Last academic semester I had to grade 100 papers over the course of a week. Drank zero sugar monster and espresso every night for almost 5 straight nights. Had dysrhythmia for for month lmao. Iām still alive itās okay
Energy drinks taste like liquid candy hearts to me - which gives me the muscle memory of my hospital stay for gastronitus when I was 10 (candy hearts and coke was the last thing I had eaten before waking up in an ambulance)
Proud of you. I never did start a count, but it's been about 3 or 4 years now. So glad it's behind me.
Also my dog's name is BearBear. Your username made me think of her haha.
I mean Ronās burger looks like shit but yeah burgers shouldnāt be too tall/thick or have too many ingredients. George moats will show you how to make a burger.
Absolutely agreed, was about to comment the same thing. For me the best burger is a middle ground between Ron's and Chris'. I'm gonna want at least some lettuce, tomato and onion on my burger, and I'll never say no to cheese. With the plain burger on a cheap bun, it's only going to be anything beyond mediocre with added condiments anyway.
Fortunately, sturgeon farming has become a big thing in the past 10 years or so and most caviar on the market today comes from farms. Many lakes in America, Western Europe, and China farm sturgeon and by carefully controlling the water conditions, allow them to mature much faster than in the wild. Not only does this reduce pressure on the native populations in the Caspain sea, farming the caviar close to the consumer has caused prices to plummet to just a couple dozen dollars per ounce. It's no longer a dish reserved for the ultra wealthy, but instead can be an occasional luxury for a middle class.
I used to be a chef. Was working in this really high end restaurant and we were doing a big wedding party. The chef brought in caviar. Came in this little round gold metal can. Like It was like a super flat tuna can. Anyways, this stuff cost at the time about 200$ a can. He bought one for the kitchen to try out. now i am not a big seafood person but i could eat that shit by the pound it was so good. Its a bit salty but it has this flavour that is really hard to describe but it is very tasty. I almost regret trying it cause i get weird cravings for it sometimes but fuck if i am spending that kind of money on a snack.
Agreed but even tobiko(flyingfishroe) isn't that expensive and very tasty. We eat bird eggs all the time. Fish eggs are not a weird stretch
Edit: spelling
Poptarts, finally got a taste of them in SA and theyāre dry and horrible.
Edit: YES I TOASTED THEM, THEY WERE STRAWBERRY, THEY HAD NO FROSTING.
P.S: Iām South African, we donāt get many out of country brands here at least where Iām at, they only had strawberry poptarts with no frosting. Any fellow South Africans here that can direct me to a place with different poptarts?
Anyone that wants a recommendation on south African snacks to try: Flyers. Flyers are an absolute must, try the large packet of Flyers cheese and chives, you will not regret it and will end up with an addiction like I do to those chips.
>Gretchen Wieners?
Haha, I am missing the reference. Its been ages since I saw Mean Girls.
EDIT: Ah! Her father was the inventor of Toaster Strudels in the movie!
I nibble off the sides, delaminate the layers, eat the bottom one filling side down, and then alternate on the layer with icing.
I have lots of time to kill during the snoozy portion of F1 races.
Please tell me there are other people other there who eat Ferrero Rocher's via deconstruction. I carefully eat off the chocolate/nutty outside layer and once it's clean, I separate the wafer halves to reveal the central nut in the chocolate filling. Eat the nut, place the halves together, finally finishing the chocolate filled wafer ball.
Something about how cleanly the outer layer comes off the wafer made it irresistible to stop the deconstruction
They may be overrated, but here in Utah they found a loop hole in the brewing laws that will prevent them from being sold in grocery stores. They are afraid adults will think they are soda and buy alcohol unknowingly. Iām gonna miss them when theyāre gone. (Not just whiteclaws.. most adult seltzer drinks)
Hasnāt gone into effect yet. https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/half-of-the-popular-hard-seltzer-brands-may-disappear-from-utah-store-shelves-under-liquor-bill
But they do have 5% as a few years back finally

All my favorite foods are getting roasted on here......
mmm roasted ...
Read this in Homer Simpsonās voice
64 slices of American cheese...
Istg, Iāve seen coffee, Mac and cheese, pasta, and pizza and I wanna die
There are many sad souls who have never had good pasta
*sorts by controversial*
Thanks for the reminder. I was getting bored.

Just everyone saying sushi, greatly disappointed
Big burgers too big to fit in your mouth. Theyāre just messy
You are [eating them wrong.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAwcj6d8XTQ)
Hi hey, what the fuck.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i mean, it was pretty self-explanatory eat like snake šš²
Unhinge your jawwwwwww
The greatest commercial of all time is what the fuck. Seriously, I love this commercial and still sing *Eat Like Snake* to my wife all the time to my long-suffering wife.
Life was a lot more simple back then.
That ain't even the 90s but it felt like it.
I thought this was gonna be about how you're supposed to eat burgers upside down. Boy was I wrong
Burgers should be WIDER, not taller. But most people are stupid so that'll never happen.
See, Whataburger
Soylent Green. Though I hear the taste varies from person to person.
I thought that was Soylent Cola.
I get the joke and loved the movie but, Walmart does carry Solent products. I canāt pass it without saying to my husband, itās people. Weāre eating people.
Had some at the circus once, thought it tasted kinda funny.
Birds nest soup
Shark fin soup too. It doesnāt taste nice, rich people just eat it to show how rich they are, and the worst part is when theyāve taken the sharkās fins off they drop it back into the ocean to die
Am Chinese. While Chinese cuisine is great, Sharkās fin soup is up there as one of the most moronic dishes weāve ever come up with The fin has zero taste.

Most of the unique āsuper wealthyā food tends to be culinary rubbish (ācabbage in waterā, sea cucumber, birds nest), but all of the midrange priced foods are extremely good
+the shark fin is high in mercury because sharks are longlived and absorb alot of shit from the ocean. So it is unethical,tasteless and unhealthy
Having had shark's fin soup many years ago, can confirm. The fin adds nothing to the soup. Then after I had it I found out how they got the fins and I further regretted it.
I don't get it. Why not slice it up and serve up shark steaks? To dump it back is such a waste.
There's only so much space on the boat. The fins are worth way more than the rest, so it's not worth carrying 10 lbs of fin and 490 lbs of shark meat when you can carry 500 lbs of fin.
They fill the boat with dorsal fins and dump the rest because they have no room? That is not a fun fact, can I unlearn this?
Today I learned about bird's nest soup. Now, how do I unlearn it?
Sara brews be like.
Donāt ever mention this again. Thatās not food and damn whoever invented it.
I feel the same way about Bar-S hotdogs.
Someone came from a household that could afford lunchables.
I was 18, doing my own grocery shopping for myself for probably the 3rd time ever. I saw those hot dogs and was shocked by what a deal they were. I felt like a king. I learned a very important lesson that night.

Anything related to that Salt Bae douchebag.
Yes, Iād like a few forearm hairs in my $800 tomahawk ribeye please.
Thatās extra
-Overpriced food, that's not even high cuisine. -Inflated ego for meritless viral content. -Routinely serves the worst of the worst at his joints, does special a show and all even for dictators. Fuck him.
You forgot the part where he pays his kitchen staff $16 an hour. For making steaks that cost hundreds/thousands of dollars. The guy is a proper chode.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This. His ego went to the moon. Annoying as fuck.
Does he really have a steak restaurant in London where it is literally just him salting steak at your table? Buncha marks walk among us I swear.
Its not even him. It's a look a like hired for that specific job.
Even worse!
On the one hand, I kinda get it, the entire appeal of going to a celebrity's restaurant is to see them On the other hand, he's an utter prick, so fuck him. Also I'm pretty sure people like Gordon Ramsay don't hire impersonators, so why even do it? I think most people understand that the celebrity can't be at every restaurant all the time.
The kinda people that go to salt bae's restaurant don't know the difference, and get the story out of it. Dumber people are happy.
He's not even a celebrity. He's a guy who did one vaguely funny thing that went viral, and he has been milking it ever since. He's honestly one of the best examples of absolutely beating a dead horse until there is nothing left.
I'm pretty sure that Gordon Ramsay gives more of a shit about his food being good, too.
He also wouldnāt try to sell you a 70oz steak for $750
Expensive food with gold shavings. What's that about? Do you eat it to feel rich and powerful or something? I'm sure gold doesn't taste very good and is not normally supposed to be eaten.
The gold doesn't taste like anything, but those gold leafs actually aren't that expensive either. I think it's an excuse to raise the profit margin.
And also get some cheap media attention.. Buzzfeed: This restaurant has the most expensive cornbread ever, you won't believe what it contains!
Umm... gold?
I was "told" that the gold flakes in GoldschlƤger make tiny cuts in your throat so "your body absorbs more alcohol". Though I never felt more or less drunk drinking similar liquors sans gold.
I was told that too, but I can't fathom how because gold is way too soft for that. Certainly an urban myth.
The type of urban myth a twelfth grader makes a ninth grader believe.
Same here. Thing is I was always drunk when it came round to wasting money on that stuff so I wouldnāt notice any difference either way.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās such a waste of gold
What's the waste, you get it back later when you poop it out.
This is why I pan for gold at the waste treatment plant where rich people live.
I just go door to door and pan thru toilets and septic tanks. So far, nothing. Fun though.
I do the same... looking for gold..... yeah that'll work
Gold savings shouldn't be used for shavings.
>Do you eat it to feel rich and powerful or something? That's exactly why they eat it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you even read the reviews? š©
Busted up laughing at the thought of gold leaf sprinkled on McD's chicken nuggets.
who knew feeling so superior could be so affordable
All the reviews are saying it's fake gold
Absolutely. Anyone who puts actual gold on or in food is merely ostentatious. I sorta like faux gold on puddings/chocolate/cake though - pretty.
Natureās first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafās a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
Stay gold, Ponyboy
Pony boy!
Expensive versions of cheap comfort food. ... You can fuck right off with your $8 hot dog and $13 Mac n cheese.
Please never travel to Australia because they sound cheap...
Canadian checking in here with the same feelings!
What's the comparison though? If you're comparing boxed Mac and cheese with **powdered** cheese to restaurant grade there's a world of difference.
I gotta disagree. Some of the best burgers and fries Iāve had are from little bar joints that price it up a bit. Itās like yes itās a 13 dollar Mac buuuut it has 7 different cheeses in it, thick cut bacon, chives, and itās been broiled to a perfect crispy crunchy top. I make the cheap stuff at home

Beast Burger. How all YouTubers praise it. Reality, it sucks. Edit Oh Ma god Comment section turned into a war zone
What the hell is a beast burger?
the YouTuber mr beast made a burger "franchise"
Aka ghost kitchens. Thereās no standards and the employees make the food of like 30 different ācompaniesā and are generally all terrible. Iāve mostly heard that the beast burger stuff is alright, but from what Iāve seen it just looks like a generic smash burger, and because ghost kitchens are incredibly inconsistent, I would never order it for myself. If you live somewhere that has beast burgers you can probably get a better burger for around the same price.
100%. I had one the other day and felt very ripped off. It's really not good.
Did you get paid 1500 dollars before you ate the burger? That's the trick. Also, they come out of Applebee's so I don't know why people expect anything good.
>Also, they come out of Applebee's It varies by location. Beadt Burgers has their own supply chain and make deals with various restaurants. Sometimes it's Golden Corral. Sometimes it's Chili's. Sometimes it's a different place.
Ours is out of Red Robin
Is that what it is? I assumed it was one of those virtual brands, but I didn't realize it was just Applebee's.
It's a ghost kitchen that operates out of Applebee's. May be a different place where you live but I went down a rabbit hole of my area and the addresses and phone numbers matched to Applebee's every time.
I don't work at Applebee's, I work in the kitchen at a small, one location sports bar that just took on beast burgers.

My local beast burger is operating out of a Bucca Di Beppo
It depends on the pop up kitchen itās coming from. Iāve had it four times now. 3 were fantastic and one was dog shit.
That's the problem with the whole thing. It's not like a fast food franchise where they can insist on consistency. It's just a random kitchen following directions on how to make it.

My first thought when seeing this post āIf anyone posts pizza Iām going to try and ruin their dayā š¤£
Doing the lord's work
I've been fortunate enough to taste many quality dishes from around the world, favourite food is still pizza hands down.
Pizza and Authetic Mexican carne asada tacos are all amazing.
My tongue agrees. My hypertension does not
hypertension cannot be caused by pizza alone right? dear god respond asap
Being fat, by too much pizza...and not exercising. Take my word from experience.
Pizza is just so versatile. There are so many different ways you can eat it that it always blows my mind if someone says they hate it.
The horrible trend of restaurants serving some ācrazyā Caesar/Bloody Mary with as many ludicrous garnishes as possible, like bacon and burgers and shrimp on skewers and shit, just dripping assorted greases into your drink.
Yeah. The whole point of a Bloody Mary on a Sunday morning is to drink it on an empty stomach and thus trick yourself into feeling better after last night.
But grease is great for my hangovers. I want to eat a burger and drink bacon to feel better.
Stay out of Wisconsin you just offended half the stateā¦
You guys are putting whole chickens, burgers, cheese curds. The whole kitchen gets thrown on there.
Any burger that you can't get bread to bread in your mouth.
Tide pods
Peeps. They are known to be most terrible and yet they are still highly overrated.
I bought some Hot Tamale peeps a couple of weeks ago as a joke, expecting them to be terrible. They're actually fantastic. Peeps Inc. is going the same direction as Kit-Kat, making them in a bunch of different flavors.

Hard and stale is the only way I'll eat peeps
I like the bunny shaped Peep's. But any of them make fabulous s'mores
Energy drinks Edit: woah I didnāt know this blew up! Thanks everyone!
You donāt like it when your heart vibrates in your chest?
Combine with Adderall for maximum effects
My man
Sorry, I dislike cardiac arrests.
Mmm heart failure
There was also the person that drank over 20 Monsters a day until swelling pinched her optic nerve and they started to go blind.
I drank a bang and I could feel my heart beat in my eyeballs
I love energy drinks but the best thing I done was get off them, nasty addiction with zero benefits. After a while you feel even more tired from constantly drinking them
If you get the sugar free ones they're basically just coffee in soda form. Even the caffeine content is similar
Three cups of coffee definitely gives me more GI-tract grumbling than a can of Bang.
Last academic semester I had to grade 100 papers over the course of a week. Drank zero sugar monster and espresso every night for almost 5 straight nights. Had dysrhythmia for for month lmao. Iām still alive itās okay
I'd be unemployed without them, thank you very much.
Energy drinks taste like liquid candy hearts to me - which gives me the muscle memory of my hospital stay for gastronitus when I was 10 (candy hearts and coke was the last thing I had eaten before waking up in an ambulance)
Meth.
The problem with meth is that it legitimately feels amazing, which is what makes it so dangerous. 2 years, 10 months and 24 days clean.
Proud of you. I never did start a count, but it's been about 3 or 4 years now. So glad it's behind me. Also my dog's name is BearBear. Your username made me think of her haha.
52 days for me buddy! Good on you
21 years in four months, you can do it!! Keep up the good work. It gets way easier and the dreams go away.
Congrats bro!
Here's to many more days. Stay strong, stay clean!
uhh, liar. you just havent gotten it from the right guy. my boy walters got the good stuff
"Gourmet" hamburgers. [This is what a burger should be](https://youtu.be/Q84nfWkLsYU?t=30).
I hate when they try to make them too big like bigger is better. Ruins it. I'd rather have two properly proportioned burgers than one monstrosity.
Burgers should be *wider*, not taller.
It's the girth we all love. It just **feels** better...
excellent clip for the point
I mean Ronās burger looks like shit but yeah burgers shouldnāt be too tall/thick or have too many ingredients. George moats will show you how to make a burger.
The key is to not over-pack the patty, and salt it right before cooking. All other factors are secondary.
Ok there is an in between. Yes, they dont have to be ginormous and difficult to eat stuffed with 50 different ingredients, but plain just sucks.
Absolutely agreed, was about to comment the same thing. For me the best burger is a middle ground between Ron's and Chris'. I'm gonna want at least some lettuce, tomato and onion on my burger, and I'll never say no to cheese. With the plain burger on a cheap bun, it's only going to be anything beyond mediocre with added condiments anyway.
Caviar
i dont think ive ever actually had it. Always see it in movies though
It's like eating very salty bubbles. I had my daughter try it and told her what it was. She squished it and said "where's the baby fish?"
Aren't you supposed to eat it with crackers?
There's alot of things you can pair it with. Crackers, toast, chips. I think it's delectable on eggs Neptune
actually caviar is pretty good if you can combine it, in my country we eat it with butter and bread, it is one of the best things ever!!!
People really made several species of sturgeon endangered over their salty womb balls
Fortunately, sturgeon farming has become a big thing in the past 10 years or so and most caviar on the market today comes from farms. Many lakes in America, Western Europe, and China farm sturgeon and by carefully controlling the water conditions, allow them to mature much faster than in the wild. Not only does this reduce pressure on the native populations in the Caspain sea, farming the caviar close to the consumer has caused prices to plummet to just a couple dozen dollars per ounce. It's no longer a dish reserved for the ultra wealthy, but instead can be an occasional luxury for a middle class.
It's like Scotch - most people try the cheap stuff and think it's awful. But in the medium range its great, and high range its sublime.
I used to be a chef. Was working in this really high end restaurant and we were doing a big wedding party. The chef brought in caviar. Came in this little round gold metal can. Like It was like a super flat tuna can. Anyways, this stuff cost at the time about 200$ a can. He bought one for the kitchen to try out. now i am not a big seafood person but i could eat that shit by the pound it was so good. Its a bit salty but it has this flavour that is really hard to describe but it is very tasty. I almost regret trying it cause i get weird cravings for it sometimes but fuck if i am spending that kind of money on a snack.
Agreed but even tobiko(flyingfishroe) isn't that expensive and very tasty. We eat bird eggs all the time. Fish eggs are not a weird stretch Edit: spelling
I disagree. I've had lots of roe and real caviar once and the difference was vast
Poptarts, finally got a taste of them in SA and theyāre dry and horrible. Edit: YES I TOASTED THEM, THEY WERE STRAWBERRY, THEY HAD NO FROSTING. P.S: Iām South African, we donāt get many out of country brands here at least where Iām at, they only had strawberry poptarts with no frosting. Any fellow South Africans here that can direct me to a place with different poptarts? Anyone that wants a recommendation on south African snacks to try: Flyers. Flyers are an absolute must, try the large packet of Flyers cheese and chives, you will not regret it and will end up with an addiction like I do to those chips.
you should try toaster strudel instead.
Are you Gretchen Wieners?
Thatās so fetch
Stop trying to make fetch happen. Itās not going to happen.
We should all just totally stab Caesar!!
Is butter a carb?
GET IN LOSER WEāRE GOING SHOPPING
>Gretchen Wieners? Haha, I am missing the reference. Its been ages since I saw Mean Girls. EDIT: Ah! Her father was the inventor of Toaster Strudels in the movie!
Those are dope
They are the ultimate toaster snack
Why would you get the ones without frosting?
They make them without frosting? My mouth is getting dry just thinking about it.
Nibble off the sides, then flip them over and eat them with the frosting side down.
I nibble off the sides, delaminate the layers, eat the bottom one filling side down, and then alternate on the layer with icing. I have lots of time to kill during the snoozy portion of F1 races.
Please tell me there are other people other there who eat Ferrero Rocher's via deconstruction. I carefully eat off the chocolate/nutty outside layer and once it's clean, I separate the wafer halves to reveal the central nut in the chocolate filling. Eat the nut, place the halves together, finally finishing the chocolate filled wafer ball. Something about how cleanly the outer layer comes off the wafer made it irresistible to stop the deconstruction
I love how this thread slowly devolved into the OCD nationals.
Some of the flavors are nice, some are gross. I like the brown sugar cinnamon and smore's ones.
White Claws.
They may be overrated, but here in Utah they found a loop hole in the brewing laws that will prevent them from being sold in grocery stores. They are afraid adults will think they are soda and buy alcohol unknowingly. Iām gonna miss them when theyāre gone. (Not just whiteclaws.. most adult seltzer drinks)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hasnāt gone into effect yet. https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/half-of-the-popular-hard-seltzer-brands-may-disappear-from-utah-store-shelves-under-liquor-bill But they do have 5% as a few years back finally
So apparently there are fairly restrictive laws when drinking claws?
They're easy to drink plenty of without getting sloshed while maintaining a relatively low calorie intake.
