/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Remember when wings were considered garbage and you could buy huge trays of them for a couple of bucks? They practically gave them away. Then hot/buffalo wings became a thing, and now their one of the most expensive despite having the least amount of meat and the largest amount of waste. I went to the store today and 3.5 lbs. were $9.

When I was poor, I'd go buy a tray of chicken wings and a 5 lb. bag of frozen crinkle fries and fry everything up. I could get the fries and a quart of oil for $3. Then another $3 for the wings. $6 bucks for some god-tier comfort food. I looked forward to it after a week of eating oatmeal, rice, beans, pork necks...

Now it costs about $15. It more than doubled!

Please quit buying wings. Thank you.
