    Still reeling from the time someone called me a food snob for making fun of that asshole who melted American cheese onto a $200 tomahawk steak.

    This shit is making my inner chef have several heart attacks

      I’m reeling at the guy who had 4 lbs of just straight beef on his plate saying that was what he was going to eat for dinner

        I can't fucking fathom eating that much beef

        Like, I eat a ribeye on my birthday, prepared au poivre with a nice little salad and some potatoes, and that's pretty much it for my red meat for a year

        Eating more than eight times over that (and probably cooked to shit anyway), I can feel my guts dying

            Like they really, honestly think that we get mad because they're eating beef

            I'm not even mad, I just don't want people committing suicide by beef

          Not to mention four pounds straight of anything is going to be fucking obnoxious. I love me a good potato and lentil curry but if you plunked down four pounds of that and told me to eat up I'd go mad.

        Good lord. 1/4 lb burger is enough to bind me to the couch for an hour.

        Holy shit. I cooked up about 350g of minced beef the other day, and I ate nothin but beef sandwiches for about 3 days. How the fuck that man has managed to have 5 times that amount in one meal is baffling.

      I didn't know what a tomahawk steak was until I saw this comment and googled it, and now I'm irrationally angry about anyone paying that much for that little.

        It's already a fucking gimmick meal for foodies with more money than sense

        THEN THEY MELTED CHEESE ON IT AND WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

          THEY MELTED CHEESE ON IT

          Those slices are probably not cheese lmao. I'm not kidding:

          By the FDA's standards, Kraft isn't permitted to refer to Singles as "cheese" because this word indicates that a product is made with at least 51 percent real cheese. This is why the label reads "pasteurized prepared cheese product." (In reference to why Kraft Singles American Cheese product can't be called cheese)

          So they actually melted something shittier than just regular cheese onto it

      The USDA changed their nutrition guidelines saying that it is now recommended to eat at most 4 lbs of red meat a year to stay healthy, so now Fox News and other right wing media is taking it and saying that Biden is trying to stop people from eating meat and is going to them into soyboys. So in response chuds are consuming as much red meat as they can and posting about it to “own the libs”

      It’s a very sad and hilarious chain of events

          The secret of meat is that if you apply heat to it and don't burn it, it's probably going to taste good. It's literally the first cooked food humans ate, and just heating it does the trick. You can apply fancy techniques and make it better, but cooking meat is as simple as it gets.

    Someone did a good post about this I 100% believe now

    the 'Biden wants us to only eat four pounds of beef a year' thing was a guerrilla marketing campaign by the national cattleman's beef association to drive a spike in outrage-fueled demand to deal with short-term excess supply of stored beef due to covid related processing delays.

    The amount of men that don't know how to cook is actually baffling. Remembering when I went on summer holiday with the bros after finishing high school and they planned to live off two minute noodles/microwaved ramen, potato chips, and protein shakes, with the occasional steak on the grill. I was the only one that cooked and brought actual food, by the end of the holiday everyone wanted me to cook for them or teach them how to cook something lol.

      Probably raised in a family where the women did the inside house chores including cooking and the men did the outside.

      My in-laws are like that. FIL at 62 doesn’t lift a finger when we come over for dinner and considers reheating in the microwave cooking. MIL is stuck doing all the cleaning and cooking, poorly at that.

      Always weirds me out when people can't cook at all. It's not that hard and it makes pretty much every single day of your life better.

    I feel like we can weaponize this: self induced heart attacks for conservative carnivores just sounds like a good thing for the planet :thinkin-lenin:
