Picked up another big thick bone-in ribeye at the store this morning, so excited! Now THAT is a proper steak, I think! Probably not gonna actually cook it until the 4th, but I'm already looking forward to it. The last bone-in ribeye I cooked vastly exceeded my expectations and all the steaks I've cooked since have made me think wistfully of how awesome that one particular steak was, so I'm quite happy to have another one! It's actually funny, I was going to head to this expensive private butcher today if there weren't any bone-in ribeyes at my usual supermarket when I went there this morning - and I didn't expect there to be any, since I hadn't seen one in like at least a month. But to my surprise and delight, they had four big bone-in ribeyes right there under the glass

I don't think I've ever paid more than $6-7lb for bone in ribeye but I used to always just grab it on sale. I don't even gently caress with steak much atm though the prices are just bonkers

Yeah, it’s definitely not totally cheap or absurdly cheap, but meat prices are what they are - seems to me that bone-in ribeyes (even choice ones) can cost upwards of $20-$30 per pound, so I feel like I shouldn’t complain too much about $15/lb. Nowhere near as absurd as the prime filet mignons they sell - those are over $20 each for one little 7-ounce steak, which is over $40/lb  Even I don’t consider touching those.

Chicken and pork are still fairly reasonably priced it feels like, but with the recent inflation the price of beef has really gone up pretty dramatically, expensive and "luxury" cuts most of all, really. I definitely agree that meat shouldn't be cheap - both from an ecological perspective as well as a practical one - but the rate of inflation has been pretty absurd lately. It shouldn't be prohibitively expensive, and it isn't yet. But we're getting there.

How much effort needs to go into a “cuisine” thread? Like if I want to make a thread about Mexican food but am not super up on it, can I just post recipes I like and see what other people have to say? I’m a white dude from Kentucky so I can’t really speak to much authenticity, but I love the cuisine, both tex mex and more local to Mexico.

veni veni veni posted:I don’t think only rich people should get to eat steak. No, but it should be a luxury item. Cheap meat isn’t cheap at all; someone or something is paying a price for it. One can’t want system change without accepting that some of those changes are not ideal. As bad as the current system is (i.e. very) it’s not all bad for everyone, so changing it will lead to some undesirable outcomes for certain people. If it were up to me, along with much higher meat prices I’d tax the gently caress out of the rich and engage in a wealth transfer to the poor so that the poorer people in our society could sometimes afford luxuries.

That definitely makes sense to me. What always sticks with me are the statistics about how incredibly inefficient meat is in terms of the amount of foodstuffs, energy, and land that go into raising livestock. To my thinking, that’s the biggest reason why meat ought to be a luxury item. As someone who nevertheless loves eating meat, my own way of dealing with this is to only buy fairly high-quality cuts of beef - prime (which I rarely can get) or free-range organic, usually. Because I really think the issue is more the cheap, low-quality stuff that gets raised, slaughtered and packaged in generally vile and deplorable conditions. I do my best not to support that side of the meat industry, though I probably am not nearly as successful as I imagine or hope myself to be. Also, I didn’t mean to give the indication that I’m buying and cooking these massive cuts of steak solely for myself! The last one I cooked for myself, my roommate, and two guests who were staying in our loft most of last month, for example. This next one I’ll be cooking probably tonight for my roommate and his girlfriend, as well as myself. There wouldn’t be much point in buying steaks that big and awesome if you don’t have at least a couple people other than yourself to cook for, in my humble opinion.

You all can just save a bunch of money and go vegan while we wait a few years for lab grown meat to work out the remaining kinks, at which point we can all stuff our faces with as many guilt-free steak as we want.

Something that's wild to me is that within a 3 mile walk I can pass a place that sells the ofal cuts for like 2 to 4 a lb, bit pork chops for 12 and bone in ribey for 38. The non fufu place has chops at 1.50 a lb but the offal cuts substantially more.

Really felt like you were stalking me a while back there for a bit. it was super weird you just popped into the thread about my city, like you were just following my post history around so you could act like a piece of poo poo. I really don't care that you hate me for some reason I am completely unaware of, but you really need to put me on ignore or something. In fact I have never ignored someone on the forums in almost 20 years but I am going to make you the first.

You really don't have to make an encyclopedic first post. You can just be like "MEXICAN FOOD I'm not Mexican and I don't know very much, but I like it. post your Mexican food here" and then, if you want, scatter effortposts as you learn and make different things.

Yeah, totally agree. As long as you’re not being an arrogant rear end in a top hat and are showing a willingness to learn and discuss, the posters in here are for the most part amazingly chill and helpful. Oh, and incredibly well-informed! I started the bread thread but most of the regular posters there are much better bakers than I am. Just get the ball rolling!

Sorry about my unchill post btw. this thread is good poo poo and I came back to respond to you specifically, and just found this random guy I've never actually talked who likes to likes to harass me for some reason doing his thing once again. But yeah, I don't think you are wrong in that meat should be more of a luxury item regardless of how much I enjoy it. It's not really sustainable and the meat industry is not ethical. I just don't realistically see a world where this doesn't amount to regular people getting screwed and the wealthy continuing to enjoy whatever they want. maybe this is good in some broader sense, but I don't see any sort of tax offset actually happening. It's not an ideal world. I don't see a realistic scenario where rising meat prices doesn't just gently caress over the poor into eating increasing levels of garbage. I also don't have a great solution to propose I just think that is what's gonna happen.

If you live in southern Ohio, you're not that far, probably, from Jungle Jim's and I know they at least carry nopales. I've never looked for epazote so I don't know if they have that as well, but I wouldn't be surprised.
