The Tasty Food Topic

I don't know why people pay money for that stuff.

Probably cause it looks fancy and people like quality food.

The most expensive meal I ever bought was a family-pizza for 12€, I think...

That is usually my price range for food as well... This place was ridiculous.

I wouldn't exactly call it "quality food". It was iceberg lettuce (the cheapest and least nutritious kind) and the tomatoes and bacon tasted just like any other tomatoes and bacon. I've never cooked a pork chop in my life but I'm sure I could cook it just as well as they did haha. Maybe their specialty - steak - might have been better quality than other steaks but I didn't get to try it

Now I want a pizza again... Damn...

Story time! So my dad originally came from England and came to Australia by ship when he was 13. (Note this is in the late 1970's) Now one night, my dad decided to have dinner with himself and not his parents, and that he would order his own. When the menu arrived, it was all in French so Dad couldn't understand what foods there were. 5 minutes later, he chooses four small meals, but when he was about to tell the waiter, a Indian woman with her son on the other table trys to convince my dad to not order those meals, but Dad orders them anyway. When the meal arrived, on those four plates were different kinds of cooked potato (boiled, baked etc.)

My dad cried that night...

As a person who loves potates, I have to ask: Did he cry because of the joy?

Would you be happy if you had to eat only potato for dinner? (Maybe in Ireland)

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Well, it depends if they were good potatoes or not.

Well no, since it lacks the protein, but if I could also get a shake, then yes! Any day!

There is no such thing like "not good potatoes"! Potatoes are awesome!

Yeah. That didn't look quite appetizing. Some places charge more for "exclusivity" or ambiance, which I'm guessing might factor into it.

The burger in my 2nd recent post was $20, but since it was San Francisco and the ingredients used weren't cheap (they actually told us which farm the beef came from), I figured it was worth it (and my firm was paying for it too, so it didn't really matter that much).

Sometimes if you're not super hungry, you can just make a baked potato and its perfectly statisfying. You could also add cheese, sour cream, bacon, onions.

Potatoes and a Shake? Might as well add the hamburger too.
