Why all the expensive food threads lately?
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;45695389]Had it before, it's expensive as fuck and tastes ok. I had a hamburger made out of it, cost 25$ for a 1/4th pound burger, tasted pretty good but defiantly didn't taste like a 25$ burger.[/QUOTE] That's the thing about traditional "American" foods; very rarely does just slapping more expensive things on top make it exponentially better. I've seen blind taste tests where people rated a five or ten dollar burger about as highly as a $100, $200, or even $300 burgers. I'm borrowing from the Alton Brown school here but this is why I think hamburgers or hotdogs are such quintessential "American" foods; you can go to virtually any price point and get a phenomenal tasting sandwich out of it, from the highest of the high end to the slummiest dive bars.
I'd still rather buy a 2 dollar one and spend the 170 in a nice restaurant :v:
looks disgusting tbh a 3 - 5 dollar hot dog from james coney island sounds better to me
Was mildly interested in the idea until I saw 'foie gras'. I don't know anyone who can ethically eat foie gras after knowing how it's made.
Well at least it's stuffed with edible ingredients and not gold flakes or bullshit like that.
Hell I'll take a normal hotdog and sell it on Ebay for a million dollars based solely on the novelty.
I bet it tastes like shit

[QUOTE=SHYoshi;45696258]what the fuck is japanese mayo[/QUOTE] Usually seems to be a bit sweeter, thicker, and I think it may have trace sesame oil in it. Comes in a very maliable squeeze bottle as well

Eh, I'm not a fan of fungus. Especially not on a hotdog. I'll pick a cabanos with ketchup over this any day.
it's all that stuff topped onto a standard $1 frankfurter hot dog and bun what's so special
[QUOTE=Sailor Mars;45696273]169 Dollars but it's gonna come out of my butt looking the same as something a tenth of its value.[/QUOTE] I mean I'd buy a human turd for $16, sure why not.
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;45697278]Was mildly interested in the idea until I saw 'foie gras'. I don't know anyone who can ethically eat foie gras after knowing how it's made.[/QUOTE] If you have objections to how foie gras is made, you're gonna have a massive shock when you find out how all your other meat is raised. [editline]16th August 2014[/editline] Also truffles aren't just a "fungus", they're fucking delicious.
[QUOTE=Headhumpy;45705213]If you have objections to how foie gras is made, you're gonna have a massive shock when you find out how all your other meat is raised. [/QUOTE] The difference is I can easily object to foie gras because of its excess and because I don't need it as part of an easy diet to survive.

[QUOTE=Headhumpy;45705213]If you have objections to how foie gras is made, you're gonna have a massive shock when you find out how all your other meat is raised.[/QUOTE] this is why meat has required ethical standards and is inspected regularly to uphold them. it might not always meet those standards but that's not because it's meat, that's because it's not nearly regulated enough. foie gras exists to be as unethical as possible
I'd take a massive cheap meal made with mediocre ingredients over a pretentious overly expensive meal that consists of a few mouthfuls anyday of the week. I [I]really[/I] don't like gormet food.

The idea is to feed your geese with natural herbs on an open land farm, and let them enjoy themselves, and around Autumn they'll attempt to gorge themselves before winter on whatever nearby herbs they can find, and at that point their livers will increase by about 20% You can harvest the livers at that point, and they'll be the same characteristic taste of the gavage method, but it's more humane. Far less marketable in terms of getting it when you want it, but its a better method really.
