rip OP

skirt steak and chicken wings
Fricking hipsters drove up the prices of what used to be cheap cuts of meat like oxtail so that they could make their whiteboi versions of soul food. Granted, I buy it for the same reason but I grew up on the line between lower and middle class so what used to be a cheap staple for us isn't so cheap for people still stuck in that economic bracket.
Luckily the lazy c**ts can never get my precious bone in pork shoulder.
I can consistently get that stuff for a dollar a pound at the end of the month still. Must be because it takes work unlike what some of these other b***hes are used to.
And the best part is the leftover bones are perfect for red beans and rice the following weekend.
>t. self hating hipster
Still going strong
The frick is that Black
Same for chicken wings but it wasn't just hipsters a large chunk of the black population woke up to the oxtail thing it used to be super poorgays and Caribbeans only
The white man's cut of beef
Is that tongue?
Chuck
Wrong, it's a hanger steak. I come from a butchers family. My great grandfather who became 104 years old always made me this.
For me it's my favorite cut of beef. It's more tender than bavette/flank steak. There's only around 1kg of this in a cow. It's also a cheap cut, if your butcher is willing to part with it. If it's on the menu I'd choose it over any other cut. Ask your butcher, he'll appreciate it.
Sneed
's Feed and Seed
Flank/Chuck. The truly chad cut
Even that has blown up in price.
Skirt steaks cost almost as much as filet mignon by me.
More in my area since they never get discounted. You can sometimes catch filet for as low as $7-8/lb but skirt never gets anywhere near that low.
Potatoes.
>once considered shit-tier
Both kale and lobster are still shit-tier.
When was kale considered shit? We've been eating kale since forever where I'm from. Or is this more a where than a when sorta thing?
It's not that it's shit, it's that it became expensive "superfood" because a bunch of hippies started consuming it. It's like marrow here in Mexico, years ago, butchers threw the bones to the dogs or gave them for free, now fricking bone marrow is treated as a delicacy
>expensive
Black person what? I've been buying this shit by the pound for years to feed it to my pet lizards, it's cheap as balls. Are you poor or just moronic?
Kale is not expensive and if you think it is, then I'm truly sorry for your circumstances.
>inb4 "buh, it's more expensive than it was a couple years ago!"
Yeah, everything is moron. Inflation is a b***h and politicians are moronic, kale is still cheap as frick both relative to other foods and in absolute cost.
It's obviously a where thing. While it's a national dish in Northern Germany and also the Netherlands it's not eaten in the south.
Americans who hyped it as healthy superfood would also be scared by the upper preparation as it's probably the unhealthiest vegetable based dish in existence.
>Northern Germany is a nation
Americans leap at any opportunity to rationalize unhealthy behavior. it's why starbucks and bubble tea are so successful here
For years the major buyer of kale in Australia was Pizza Hut, as they'd draped it on their salad bar. It was something like 80-90% of the kale sold in Australia went to that.
what i'm getting out of this thread is that increased knowledge about nutrition and ability to share recipes ruins everything
>lobster
Only in the plebeian states of shartmerica
Lobsters were commonly seen in the paintings of feasts of nobility in wurope. Fatmericans have just always been devoid of any taste.
Are we now at the point of euroshart cope where you morons are pretending America wasn't founded by europeans
I always say that we should forgive the Americans and Aussies for their utterly classless behaviours for this very reason: they were founded by the trash of Europe. What else could you expect?
>What else could you expect?
Two world wars euroqueer. Or would you rather be speaking German or Russian right now?
>would you rather be speaking German or Russian right now?
I speak German, tho. And can sort of read and understand Russian. I'm really bad with Slavic languages.
To be fair the European lobster is of higher quality than the American and it was mostly lower classes of Europeans that went to Europe and they weren't used to lobster.
>lower classes of Europeans that went to Europe
Went to America, surely. If you were already doing well in Yurp, you'd have had no reason to leave.
Well it’s blatantly obvious these days we didn’t send our best.
That is not actually true. Most early Americans were small landholders and the only poors were indentured servants.
>Most early Americans were small landholders and the only poors were indentured servants.
Small landholders at that time was considered among the lower classes in Europe so you're just confirming what I said.
Quinoa was for incan peasants and now a vegan Karen food. To the point Peru has to export it all.
I assumed it was a staple grain in their society. It's very tasty and nutritious, big fan.
Shut up Klaus
Does peanut butter count as shit tier food?
It was invented by by an African-American king but is now popular in most American households as a sandwich ingredient. I suppose fried chicken and pizza could also qualify as shit tier foods that are now beloved.
>It was invented by by an African-American king
Blows my mind that people still think this, George Washington Carver didn't invent peanut butter. He just figured out a bunch of different uses for it
These guys nailed it. I work at a supermarket and chicken hearts fly off the shelves. Same with feet but those are already skyrocketing in price.
I heard that the reason why Brussel sprouts became more popular is because they have been crossbreed to be less bitter.
I suppose the same thing happened to kale
Related question, what's a sleeper food right now that will blow up in a few years? I feel like gizzards are gonna get big in coastal liberal areas
>Related question, what's a sleeper food right now that will blow up in a few years? I feel like gizzards are gonna get big in coastal liberal areas
Probably Kraft mac and cheese. It was huge during the great depression, and since we are currently in another economic depression (or a repression, or whatever the politically correct term is that means the same thing), well...
im shocked i havent seen austrian pumpkin seed oil pop up in fancier restaurants and wienertail bars.
only a matter of time which is a shame bc shit is expensive enough as is
>austrian pumpkin seed oil
>seed oil
Anon...
Seed oil is fine as long as it's virgin. What people fear with seed oil are the solvents used to extract as much oil from the seeds as possible.
Virgin oils are better, but still bad
Not at all.
its styrian pumpkin seed oil homosexual
Wrong. It's from Carinthia.
It's about time for oyster mushrooms to have their day. People are going to start learning about how carcinogenic portobellos are and start demanding a different option.
>gizzards
Astute. Hearts and gizzards are cheap and delicious.
>Any other foods that were once considered shit-tier and now beloved by many?
Literally every cereal that isn't just normal ass wheat, corn, or rice: barley, oats, rye, millet, especially the more obscure ones like sorghum, amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa. I don't think there's an entire food system that's had as steep of a profile turn as that of the "brown cereals" all becoming whole/super foods. White bread & white rice used to really be the dream.
Which is wild because in poor dirt-eating countries this stuff was inexpensive to grow (thinks like buckwheat, barley, and quinoa, are basically just cereal producing weeds), but now that they're """super foods""" 3rd worlders can't afford them.
>Related question, what's a sleeper food right now that will blow up in a few years?
I feel like if North Americans gave Quorn/the flesh of the 'Fusarium venenatum' fungi, a chance they'd really like it.
I definitely see it as having more potential as a meat alternative than fricking bugs or the overly processed "beyond meats". I'm not sure why it isn't more popular already- are Americans more commonly allergic to mushrooms or?
I think any of those offal pieces will remain unpopular. Too polarizing a texture and people just have a gut reaction to internal organs.
Gizzards are a traditional dish in the north of Portugal (where I'm from). It's called moelas, which is the name of the actual organ as well. Tomato, paprika, onion, garlic, beer, stew it soft.
is kale really beloved by many or do people jsut tolerate it for health reasons?
I made some braised kale once and literally felt high. It's legitimately a superfood and can be delicious if prepared well
i think it's probably a little of each, you have people putting it into smoothies and shit to mask the taste, and then people actually eating it and enjoying it. there are also a ton of preparation methods out there since it became such a trendy superfood (hello kale chips). personally i love almost all greens (except spinach bc oxalic acid very unpleasant to me) so i think kale is pretty great, has a good texture, even the tough stems can be satisfying to chew on.
> except spinach bc oxalic acid very unpleasant to me
That explains something in my own odd tastes. Spinach and arugula are pretty much the only greens I’ll eat raw in a salad. All others make me want to gag unless cooked to death in bacon fat, cream, or oil and garlic…or in a broth
I now have a suspicion that arugula has oxalic acids too and that lets me eat them raw too like spinach
I’m a thoroughbred yank, real venison & maple syrup type, so I’m not too well acquainted with it, but it’s my understanding that this describes soul food rather well. It used to be slave food made from the refuse & sub-par ingredients left over after the rest had been sold or used by the master, but now it’s very beloved & you even see it in well esteemed restaurants. Like I said, I’m not actually familiar with soul food, I was an adult before I saw more than three black people at the same time, but this is my understanding of its history & present standing
>now it’s very beloved & you even see it in well esteemed restaurants.
You mostly see it done with far better ingredients than the slaves were actually given. No high class restaurant is serving chicken feet
Are there not local landmark neighborhood restaurants with diner tile & old stoneware? The ones that are on The Guy Fieri Show where there are sexually aggressive 30-50 year old waitresses & fat people eating out of styrofoam clamshells & an old timer who has a camping chair out front for some reason with other old people who says ‘I been commin hear 50 years, back fore when us homies couldn’t go nowhere else, an Greta June’s battered beef testicles taste good as the day she first puttem onna menu on count the klansmen pelted us with beef testicles that February in July, whooo! Dark times, dark times, but the Black Community of Rockland, Georgia persevered here at Riggy’s Tavern & Slop-house!’ which excites all the black people & then one of the sexually aggressive women gropes Guy Fieri
I like kale. It has more of a texture than other leafy greens. You are gay and moronic if you dislike it.
kale still sucks
bacon
sliced bread
>wash and thoroughly chop kale
>massage with lemon juice and coarse salt
>top with olive oil, avocado, sunflower seeds
Wa la
wings
ribs
caviar
literal fricking bones with marrow in them. butchers used to charge pennies/give them away, now the fricking places charge actual meat tier prices
Fricking ox tail used to be a scrap shitmeat you could get for pennies, now its gourmet.
Pastrami originated as a way to preserve and soften shitty tough cuts of meat, but is now much loved and fricking expensive if you get it at a restaurant that specializes in it.
Imo, Kale being popular is a meme.
I still hate it.
>a meme
moron.
I think bugs and plant based foods will become much more popular in the future, although I doubt vegans will eat bugs because they are sentient creatures just like cows, humans, and pigs.
>chicken wings
used to be a throwaway cut
>bbq ribs
again just a cheap shit of meat for poor people became expensive
>beef brisket
a nasty cut of rubbery fatty beef the israelites loved to sell out of their israelite delis due to the cheapness now cost $90 for one
>ribs
>chicken wings
>expensive
lol
How poor are you? They're, like, $1.49-$2/lb lmao
bacon
there was a huge marketing campaign to make americans love bacon, nobody touched the stuff in the early 60s or something
