Nice thread retard

>>15150386
someone made the same thread like 2 years ago and I thought it was cool, got some new ideas I'd never heard of. I hope you drop your pasta into the sink while draining it.

>>15150371
Is that the lobster they'd make during that one day during the French Revolution

>>15150467
i think it's a month not a day

canard à la rouennaise
Any caviar over US$1000/kg (not saying it's not good, but spending that much is pompous)

>>15150804

sounds tasty

Egg cars with meatball wheels.

>>15150371

I don't think it's that pompous, but it's a crapshoot. Lobster isn't that amazing, but retards have elevated it. I'd say some undeserving pompous food would be any ground wagyu et al. Yes, go ahead and pay twice as much min for ground beef.

>>15150437
That's adorable how mad you are about this

>>15150371
Literally a delicious way of having lobster. I don't think there is a "best" way though.

Anything with gold leaf in/on it. It's absolutely retarded, does nothing for the flavor, turns me socialist very briefly. Expensive spices make sense because they actually have an effect on the dish, gold is just to show off and it usually looks terrible like pic related.

>>15150899
I'm from a coastal community. Really cheese covered seafood can be good, but if I'm not on the coast I recognize it as a way to cover up less than fresh seafood. Good fresh seafood should be good on it's own. It's not quite the same but it'd b like getting a "deep fried and cheese covered porterhouse". Like, that shit should be good enough to stand on it's own. What the fuck is wrong that you need to drown it out?

>>15150867
True. I got a call from some drunk black lady about a week ago (I work in the meat department) asking how much of this or that of crab or lobster she could get for $100. I feel bad ripping people off. But it also pays my bills.

>>15150910
So true. I just tried to explain this to someone earlier today about how Americans have a habit of going out of their way to make meat or veg taste like something else.

>>15150867
I like lobster, but it definitely tastes like something the rich would usually avoid. Fucking sucks that it's so expensive.

>>15150910
agreed, fresh is best imho, but it's all a matter of opinion. i like crab imperial and crab cakes (used to live in MD) and all that, but when it comes down to it I'd prefer freshly boiled or steamed crabs (blue, dungeness, stone, alaskan, etc.) with drawn butter and some old bay/paprika. I like a whole lobster the same way really sans old bay. I never really cared for the dijon/dijonnaise with crab approach though

>>15150933
I still buy lump crab which is still a jump over other things but it's still not as good as frozen crab, which isn't as good as fresh caught. It's not always like night and day. I'm perfectly fine buying Asian farmed frozen shrimp in the winter. It's like an 7-8. But never frozen head on shrimp is a 10.

>>15150928
I've always said if preconceptions were to go out the window. Crawfish tail would be some of the most expensive seafood. It's so fucking tasty, and hard to harvest.

>>15150940
canned lump crab can be perfectly fine. I'll probably do seafood for Christmas this year. But you're right, there are plenty of times when canned or frozen is the only legitimate option. Shrimp drives me crazy. I've had some horrific buying experiences from grocery stores where they've just tasted off, even soaking/thawing them in water and cooking with lemon, etc. Scallops I get lucky though.

>>15150371
Literal raw ground beef with a raw egg on top.

>>15151469
If you legitimately feel as though you have a problem with this, you’re most likely chinese.

>>15151469
nothing pompous about it, it's not that different from rare steak
goes great with vodka shots tho and I prefer to mix the capers, pickled mushrooms etc. into it

>>15151511
Its nice but its normally ground too fine for my taste. The first time I had it, it was fine diced so there was some texture whereas the next few times it was much more minced.

>>15150491
That's a lot of lobster

>>15151857
For you.

>>15150371
Imagine naming your kid Thermador

>>15151469
God I love tatar steak. I wish it were mor common here in Mexico. So far you can only get it in fancy steak houses

>>15151491
But Chinese people love eating stuff raw

>>15150863
I second this. WTF is up with pompous ass rich people making meatball cars? Often more intricate than this, but not always

>>15150770
If you've ever cracked an egg into this shit then I just want you to know you're a huge douche

>>15153159
It seems like it would be a good idea but the egg breaks up too much and it ends up just being like you shredded an egg into your ramen

>>15153193
Nigga this aint rocket science. You're poaching an egg in ramen, that means you have to get the water moving BEFORE You put the egg in.

>>15150371
Damn I wish I could have seafood

>>15153159
You're a huge retard if you're eating maruchan in the first place. /ck/ approved *cheap* instant ramen (that you can actually find everywhere in the USA):
Nongshim Shin Ramyun
Nissin tonkotsu
Sapporo Ichiban

All the best brands are only available as import. Or just say fuck ramen and eat migoreng

>>15150371
>its in french

>>15150371
>Lobster Thermidor
Never ate any, is it any good?

>>15150863
OK for real what is up with bougie folk and making cars with their food???

>>15151491
More like Indian.

>>15153146
>>15153708
wtf are you talking about

>>15153566
All brands and varieties of packaged ramen are toxic trash, not suitable for human consumption.

>>15153741
Go make a fake account on Facebook and join a rich people friend-making group. Once you've added a couple people, scroll through their pics. 7/10 times, there's a picture of some sort of food car, usually made with eggs and meatballs (and sometimes ONLY eggs and meatballs as in >>15150863)

I wish I was making this up.

>>15153764
Sure, but Maruchan tastes bad to boot.

>>15150371
Lobster sucks

>>15150863
He should have made burger wheels with sausage axles and a toast chassis. What a missed opportunity.

>>15153850
The wealthiest families use Autodesk Alias (Family Edition) to design their food cars down to the smallest detail.

>>15153850
Some of them do, anon. I'm not sure why there isn't a competition for this stuff. It seems to just be the private eating habits of the rich. Maybe we're missing something here; maybe they only do this with cheap food (their perspective) that they don't really want to eat?
>>15153873
Wait, so this is a competition somewhere? Got any pics?

>>15153819
post some pictures youve found

>>15153873

Some of the more exciting recent championship events include '09 in Vouliagmeni (Greece), '12 in Chantilly (Virginia), and '15 in Telfs (Austria).

>>15150921
I'm American and I think it's the opposite. A lot of people here under season their meat and vegetables are usually just steamed or roasted with some butter and salt or whatever, if they aren't in a stew or a pot pie/casserole. I'd be interested in what examples you're thinking of where Americans generally try to cover the taste of everything.

>>15153566
Isn't Maruchan legit like 10 cents a pack? It was last time I bought it years ago. Shin Ramyun is great but I guess if you're literal poverty tier then Maruchan is your best bet.

>>15154258
>in what examples you're thinking of where Americans generally try to cover the taste of everything.
Im guessing they mean american BBQ, it is quite uncommon to cover your meat in a ketchup based sauce outside the USA.

>>15153193
You've never had egg drop soup?

Also, try whisking just the yolk into hot ramen sometimes for some creamy broth that's got some protein and fat in it.

>>15150371
Didn't lobster used to be poor people food? What happened?

>>15154088
I hope at least some of those tasty treats completed the course!

>>15154496
It was both rich people and poor people food. The population of lobster was massive to the point where dead lobsters could always be found on the beach, but as most cooks know, but they die the meat is almost immediately tainted by the organs. Ships would bring in massive hauls and the best and freshest lobsters were bought by people who wanted and could afford them, and then dead and dying shit went to the poor or emprisoned.

>>15154515
Very educational post. Seems like I was tricked by gutter-tier online "journalism".
It's more of a "trash ingredients went to the less fortunate" than just being about lobster.

>>15154287
Market price is around 20 cents a pack.
5 packs are in the dollar store, priced as expected.
Some groceries charge a little less, some a little more.
79c/pack is common in convenience stores. Fucking McLane.

>>15154496
You will eat the bugs, goy.

>>15154258
Chinese do that with lamb, I don’t think Americans do though we just don’t make it if we don’t like a taste

>>15154088
Shit, I think I remember seeing one of those playing in the background of a an episode of something on the cooking network back in 2013. Maybe it was the Chantilly! Anyway, we've gotten a little off topic now, as I was really only talking about casual cars on social media, but that's really interesting to know. I'm gonna dig around for some pics now.

It goes back to the Knights Templar. Automotive technology was a closely-held secret of theirs for centuries.

>>15155192
I haven't even hit up social media and I don't think I have to. It's annoying digging around on instagram anyway. I have no idea why rich people do this shit

>>15150371
Rooster pizza

>>15155206
the fact that you think rich people do this shows how poor you are

>>15155345
Pay attention to the thread, anon. I'm just posting pics I found from google. If you join some wealthy friendmaking/networking groups on FB, you'll likely come across some rich dude playing with his food and making it into cars and shit. Trust me.

>>15155206
>I have no idea why rich people do this shit

Rich trophy wives with no talent other than looking pretty and sucking cock trying to justify their rich, privileged and vacuous lives.

Pic related, it's uselessly complex and would be improved by ditching everything but the meat

>>15150371
>>15150437
Nice thread, dipshit.

>>15152920
It’s probably a good thing that it isn’t common in Mexico honestly

For me, it's rare meat.

>the fuck are you talking about it's the best way to serve mea–
It's fucking raw and tastes like nothing, you retards.

>>15156847
Weak bait. Rare meat is way more flavorful. Lmao

>>15156847
Rare and raw have completely different texture you absolute spastic.

>>15156847

Cool it with the hate speech. You won't get away with it when Biden is in the white house.

Mmmkay?

It's like something out of a horror story, the more I look, the more I feel my sanity slipping away.

lolwut. Lièvre à la royale is pompous. presse à canard shit is pompous, but based humble tartar isn't.

>>15150371
checking the recipe it's actually pretty simple and humble imo.

>>15157602
I'm going to pull you apart

Came here to post this

>>15154515
>>15154542
Exactly. The "lol lobster is for poor people/it was prison food!" Is such a misleading statement. Prisoners weren't given a fresh steamed lobster with a side of melted butter. Shitty/dead lobsters were ground up into a paste.

>>15157682
Oh, as opposed to the living lobsters that rich people eat? They have to stay live until they enter the stomach by your definition, so they have to be swallows whole.

>>15157605
>cut lobster

how is that pompous?

How many ducks gotta die for a pound of their tongues?

>>15155356
Does seem like it. The proportions are out of whack. The size of the bottle and glass vs. the chicken vs the pizza vs the chair tops etc

Gold leaf is incredibly cheap, your average pleb would probably use it constantly if they were aware it was comparable in value to baking sprinkles
