Foods you like but usually do not have the cash for? - Champagne taste on PBR budget thread.

[Agent Abe Caprine]

They call it Panda Express but they don’t serve panda meat. False advertising there.

They don't even serve General Tso's. 0/10

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. Great stuff, expensive four pack. Same problem with Old Man Rasputin and Dragon's Milk. There's also a fruit beer from Virginia that's really good. Can't get it easily. Think it was a raspberry one.

Due to how infrequently I use it, curry paste. It's kind of hard to incorporate that into food that isn't curry. I've tried with okay results.

 

[VIPPER?]

Sushi's an obvious one. No one has the money to get good sushi regularly. There's gas station/grocery store or All You Can Eat crap but proper japanese restaurants seem rare.

Fish in general, too. Back when I lived in my hometown there was plenty of cheap imported fish from the far east. Now that I live in the Atlantic, fish is oddly expensive for a place that was raring to go for a small civil ground war a few months ago, and even then, the local caught stuff is all garbage and somehow more expensive than the imported Vietnamese stuff.

Champagne. Seriously thought I hated it. Fizzy cats piss I used to say until I actually had pricy and real champagne. Also as a woman, it doesn't reflect well with cliche and stereotyping.

Just Buy Cremant, thats the same stuff just from other region of france

 

[High Hedgie]

Good quality sushi or lobster. It's a tie between them.

I like to swing by Wegmans when I'm not poorfagging and try new stuff that I'd normally be worried would be a waste of money.

I got this black garlic umami soy sauce once and now it's the only soy sauce I use. Highly reccomend it.

I got these expensive Hungarian smoked sausages that were phenomenal, but I haven't seen them since.

I learned that arr kimchi taste same.

They also carry Truff hot sauce there, which you used to have to order online so that's neat. It's a really niche hot sauce if you're into hot sauces and it doesn't work well with too many things, but is incredible with the things it works on. It's kind of sweet and has that truffle funk to it, and a rather potent heat.

They also had a great olive bar before the fucking coof put an end to it. You can still get the stuff you want, but you have to buy them in prepackaged boxes and can't mix and match, so if you want some mushrooms and roasted garlic cloves to go with your olives, you have to buy 3 things now.

They also have a fairly respectable sushi section.

 

[Stoneheart]

Good Mango. They only have them at one tiny asian supermarket around and they want 5$ a piece.
thats 4 times the price of supermarket Mango.

Nova lox is godly but incredibly expensive, tends to be a "occasional treat" as a consequence. Really nice cheeses also fall into that category, and then there's the liquor. Beyond that, swordfish and tuna steaks are one of those things I get maybe a couple times a year tops.

Oh, yeah, sushi/sashimi too.

 

[Chongqing]

For me, it's Peking duck. I love it.

 

[murdered meat bag]

Headcheese post covid. It doubled in price and tripled in poor quality. Its become a salt lick and a fatty meat cream instead of meat jello.

$10-11/lbs is way too much now.

 

[COCl₂]

Fresh fish that is not tilapia.

 

[OvercookedBacon]

Alligator. Had some in New Orleans years ago, loved it since, but it's pretty pricy.

 

[The Last Stand]

Fast food and Pizza Hut.

 

[Bad_Guys_are_Good4EVER]

For me it's polish sausages.

 

[Thomas Highway]

It isn't lack of money so much as not liking to spend it.

Going with shellfish to cook or sushi to order. Just can't justify it in my mind.

 

[Merrick]

Beef Wellington and steak. I prefer prime and dry-aged beef.

 

[Devyn]

10+ year aged cheddar

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

I made some like 3 months ago for my moms husband...it is not hard to make just gross.

1) Obtain cow head
2) get your massive cooking pot
3) head and seasonings with water or beer in the pot
4) cook until it's chunky and thick....cool
5) pick meat off bones
6) fill your casings and let it set

blech

super simple...my grandpa used to save and bleach old socks(thats the story I tell myself) to put the stuff in....then it'd be hanging for a bit in the dry storage We slaughter various livestock once a year for eating so we process as much as possible...head cheese gross organ meat sublime
