You're telling me a bit of food is worth as much as a complex piece of electronics like a PSP? I should start farming truffles.oug wrote:

Umm yeah! Although if you were to start farming them now, the truffles would probably be harvested by your kids or something...HurricaИe wrote:

Oh so true. A few years back me and my mother were looking for a new TV in Harvey Norman. She picked me up straight from school, her still in her work clothes and we went and had a look. Stood around for ages with not a single bit of service. We left about 45 minutes later, came back on the weekend to buy the one we were looking at and walked in in our flashier looking clothes and literally within 5 minutes we were served.SealXo wrote:

I really don't get the deal with fancy expensive shit. It can usually taste amazing, but not always. For instance last night I went to this semi-fancy restaurant, and I ordered some scallops. They were good, but for the price I expected way more food. And what's with the dress codes?! It doesn't matter if I'm in a tuxedo or in shorts and a t-shirt... it's not like I'm suddenly gonna run out of the place without paying.
Its when youre buying a car that really pisses me off.
You walk into a benz dealer with shorts and a white tshirt and you could be looking at a car for 10 minutes with NOONE else in the showroom, and noone will comeover and talk to you.
but tbh its the people with no money are the ones who dress up to buy cars they cant afford.

LONDON — It's known as the home of 'The Whopper' and Burger King is hoping its latest product really lives up to its reputation. The fast-food giant launched a $200 burger Wednesday — all in the name of charity.
" The fine ingredients of what is called simply 'The Burger' include Wagyu beef, white truffles, Pata Negra ham slices, Cristal onion straws, Modena balsamic vinegar, lambs lettuce, pink Himalayan rock salt, organic white wine and shallot infused mayonnaise in an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun. "

Sure there are quality ingredients. The white truffles, ham, and pink rock salt are treats, for sure. But the fact that the hamburger is made of Wagyu beef just goes to show how stupid some people are. Wagyu (Kobe) beef is succulent because of the marbelized fat in the meat. When you ground it up to make hamburgers, you lose the marble effect of the fat, which is what makes the meat so tender and flavorful. Using Wagyu beef is just a ploy by Burger King to make you pay more for something that isn't worth it.kylef wrote:

A little bit. A trained palate can probably tell the difference, but I don't eat high-class ingredients all the time, so I couldn't tell much.HurricaИe wrote:
I don't get it. From wiki: "Pink Salt is naturally rich in mineral content, and is sold in some countries as a luxury food product."
Does it taste any different from, erm, normal salt or sea salt?

Dude you're like 16. I bet you still wet the bed, and probably ask for milk in a dirty glass if you go to a bar.Tushers wrote:
