Hang on - are you saying that restaurants charge more for food than the wholesale cost of the ingredients used to make it?

Extraordinary.

I get that of course restaurants are gonna charge money on top of costs but it's the principle....

It's an avocado.... on toast....
If I'm going out for breakfast I'm not getting anything less than the best bang for buck i.e. most places do a big brekky for not much more than 20 bucks which usually is 2 eggs, hash browns, beans, toast, tomatoes, sausages and mushrooms and I can see the value in that. I can't see the value in something I could sooner run up the road to a supermarket to get the ingredients for and make at home faster than a restaurant can

Most big breakfasts are a bit of a loss leader. They know full well that not everyone is going to get it and there’s a reason the build your own option costs a whole whack more for the same items.
There used to be a place near me that did the best big breakfast I’ve ever had. It was just bacon, eggs, mushrooms, toast, a roast tomato and home made hash browns. Then a new guy took over and they added sausages which through off the whole balance of the plate. Previously it was just the right amount of grease. Now it’s a little too much especially if you go for scrambled eggs. The coffee is poo poo as well so I haven’t been there in years.

It looks exactly like bread to me. It appears to be pizza/focaccia that has been sliced into rectangles and hung on hooks for some reason.

Yes I can handle the sad pale lukewarm pizza. But those hooks aren't food safe. They're totally not doing a good job of holding up that floppy mess and it's just dangling food haphazardly over the floor at a party full of drunk people. They're going to be finding hooks in random light fixtures and potted plants for months.

As someone that cleans up after parties and weddings every weekend, motherfuck the animal that designed this.

If you are spending $20 on breakfast you are doing it wrong (or live in southern California?). I don't mind going out for breakfast but pretty much everything outside of a souffle or pastry I can make at home very easily.

EDIT: also, gently caress brunch. I'm not waiting in line for 30+ minutes for a table to spend $15 for breakfast which normally costs $8 when I could run to the store in that time and make it for 1/4 the price.

MightyMite is one of the worst foods I have ever experienced. It wobbles. I'm glad even a true Aussie thinks it's bad. I never waste food but I tossed that jar.

Nice write-up! Although you really just convinced me to buy more Vegemite and skip trying different brands. It's really the best.

Thank you, this was an excellent blog post. Is Our Mate the same recipe as Marmite from the U.K.? Because the way you describe the consistency sounds different, but that could just be me. It does confirm what I'd thought to be the case: mainly that Vegemite is very tasty, but U.K. Marmite is better, and that sweet 'mites sound horrible.

gently caress yes. Best thing ever is using a bit of toast to sop up the gravy on your plate after a roast, so drowning a roast chicken or turkey sandwich in gravy is just cutting out the middle man really

Yeah, I'm not seeing a problem here. Decadent, perhaps, but certainly not unappetizing.
