Expensive food items for the common folk that are highly overrated and not worth its price tag.

If ribs are "hype" which rock have you been living under? Even before I moved to Virginia from Europe you'd have to be some dumbass neanderthal to think they're hype. And not all caviar is expensive. You can buy it in a local grocery store for $10. I buy it to put in sauces and the rest of it keeps in the fridge for a couple of weeks after. I suspect going out to eat for you doesn't involve cutlery.

I don't even like ribs that much and I love caviar. I'm a pretty damn good cook too, so nice reach but pretty far off the mark. Your response to that person was just comically pretentious. Thats why I responded lol

Lobster, or Crayfish as we call it here, is great with some vinegar on buttered bread

I would kill for some decent crayfish out here. We have one Cajun restaurant i know of and it's awful

I don't take offense, but I'm pretty confident they know what they're doing.

I've had it in all over, smoke is just not my thing.

you dont want that smoke?

So because you don't like ribs, they're "hype"? Explain.

Filet mignon is the goat. If you have to eat meat loaded with fat for it to taste good why even bother? Not to mention animal fat is terrible for your arteries.

Well worth the price .. but maybe not at a steakhouse. I just buy them at Costco and cook them in the cast iron at home.

When I worked in Sunnyvale there was a Chinese grocery store where I used to buy a full filet loin for $60. Used to portion it out and freeze it, a couple of steak dinners and a couple of carpaccios. So basically 8 meals.

I do understand the taste aspect with fillet but it's still my favourite.

I enjoy a greasy ribeye so much more. It's a personal preference.

@Crazy Source I saw a video which I'll never be able to find again.

A large Russet potato cored out with like an apple corer. A stick of mozzarella stuck in the middle. A ton of flimsy bacon put on cling film, potato then wrapped with the bacon. Bake. When it's done sliced open with the oozy moz and topped with BBQ sauce and left over pulled pork. I could only better it with a Carolina style no mayo slaw. Easily enough for 2 people but what a great use for leftover pulled pork.

Some serious food porn. That sounds amazing. I made potato soup today. Small taters, peeled, boiled, drained, mashed with 1/2 stick butter and 1/2 cup sour cream. Add 1 cup or so whole milk and the broth that you boiled the taters in if it gets too thick. I'm on the fence about slaw. I love vinegar based slaw, but some sweet mayo based can be amazing. Publix has a great sweet slaw. *I'll scour for the vid

I have a multitude of veg left over from the weekend so I'll be doing a soup this week to use it up too.

Only reason I mentioned non mayo Carolina style is the fattiness of the bacon, moz and pulled pork. A vinegar based slaw would help to cut through it.

I'm in the mood for a chicken curry. Slow boil chicken thighs and pick. Simmer it in a bit of the stock and add cream at the end. I just bought some curry powder that is nice. S&B. Not hot at all. I'll add peppers to my own.

Bone broth is just stock. I used to make gallons at a time in restaurants by simmering water with kitchen scraps. Bones, veggie butts and peels, bits and trimmings of meat. We’d use it for all sorts of things but it is literally hot garbage water.

Some Wiley bastard figured out you could sell it to white people for like 6 bucks a cup.

I mean I do think Pho has its health benefits but jars of bone broth taking the world by storm is like that one brand of apple cider vinegar flying off the shalves because Victoria Beckham says she has a spoon a day to keep the weight off like it was a miracle cure for fatties.
Edit: ginger, herbs, chili etc are good for you with Pho. Not the bones of virgins.
