I'm doing a little thing called exaggerating a point that's basically true for comedic effect.

No one charges based on production cost, they charge whatever they know people will pay

Then you need to add an /s, people can get triggered by this behavior, you should be more considerate of that.

Korean kimbop doesnt cost anywhere near 24.99 i get that shit by me in ktown for like 7.99 sometimes cheaper if theres no beef in it. Op probably thought that was sushi. These are the people you argue with on a (((food))) board

>>17597782
I would still take the sushi

should have made it funny then huh

I visited Asheville, NC a few years ago.

I had my cannabis medical card back then and I brought an assortment of fine bubblegum hash and other goodies with me. I met some nice other young people at a local concert and smoked them out on the patio they had at the venue.

It turns out they were artists and shared a big house somewhere in town. I told them I cook and they invited me over for dinner and to see the art pieces they were about to show.

I made honey mustard fried chicken and it was quite good. They gave me a smol art piece (painting? print?) - I forget ,for free. I happened to let it slip I spent some of my food stamps buying the ingredients for their meal. By the end of the trip, we were running pretty low on cash. We did a lot of fun things like whitewater rafting, zip-lining, and caving in the area, and the woman we had met at a concert invited us to the sushi restaurant she worked at for lunch.

I didn't try to order anything unusually expensive and I had the money to pay and would have but she ended up paying for our lunch as a token of her appreciation. Pretty nice folks and one of the happier stories I have.

So, I ended up getting comp'd a free sushi lunch for smoking some locals out and making them dinner.

You can't distinguish kimbop and sushi by sight.

>>17598007
Except not really, you just know that if you overtly made a “sushi is an overpriced meme” thread it would probably get jannied.
The two images in particular likely sell for roughy the same.
Yes some sushi seems comparatively expensive.
Many types of fish used for it are also “expensive” if directly compared to ground beef and beans.

Kinda simple. Good sushi requires high grade fish flesh, and that shit is expensive. Expensive enough that any serious sushi purveyor acquires their fish directly from markets/auctions. Most people don't understand this, though, and this is not well known outside of Japan- so they crank the prices on every kind of sushi roll and get away with it because it is what people expect (and there is a pervasive idea that cheap sushi will be awful and potentially even harmful).

>>17598147
mexican food, on the other hand, is practically the reverse- people expect it to be cheap, and many people believe the best dishes come from street vendors and family cooks. Also, because all the ingredients are fully fungible and require no special technique, transport, or means to acquire, it is FAR less labor intensive to make large batches of (and labor cost is the defining factor in America).

>>17597782
In Japan, this is reversed.

>>17598085
The part of the lobster you eat has literal muscle tissue in it, aka meat, where as arachnids and insects do not have anything like muscles. All you get is organ meat, which is hyper-poverty food in virtually all cases (the French are fucking weird).

>>17598268
>muscle tissue in it, aka meat
This is normal faggot cope, red meat is preferred because it doesn't make you remember its an animal but a chunk of juicy food. Muscle tissue is devoid of proteins and nutrients ""organ meats"" contain.

In Japan

>>17598293
>it doesn't make you remember its an animal
lmao faggot cope, you need your meat to be made into friendly little dinosaur shape nuggets so it doesn't hurt your fee-fees that it came from an animal?

>>17598268
you are completely wrong in pretty much every aspect of this post. don't bother responding to shit when you clearly didn't even pass high school biology

>>17597782

Mexican food is cheap to encourage cash payment so taxes don't have to be reported and he's trying to set up his daughter with a citizen so she can get her green card.

The sushi is probably from a Korean owned restaurant and made by illegal Mexicans. But the owner is probably a citizen and trying to keep things above board.

>>17598411
Nah he's not that wrong, there are huge obvious differences in ratio of muscle to exoskeleton and organs in lobsters vs arachnids like scorpions
>t. zoology BSc and Ecology MSc not that it matter when it's obvious to anyone with eyes

>>17598453
my guy, he straight up said they do not have anything like muscles. that the ratio is different is still not even close.

If you cook the limbs of giant spiders, they are known to resemble crab in both taste and texture

>>17597782
On the right, you're looking at probably 14 dollars plus tax at the absolute minimum.

>>17598464
Wtf I love spider now

>>17598541
Maybe in an eastoid shithole like michigan.

>>17598541
The sushi looks like a basic California roll which are usually only like $6.00 for 7-8 pieces.

>>17598460
>do not have anything like muscles
yea thats obviously wrong, he probably was getting mixed up with inverts not having proper blood or something.
Either way lobster is still delicious and healthy and full of rich, proteiny meat, and has been eaten by humans as long back as we can study so the le seabug memers are just coping autistics that refused to eat anything besides chicken nuggets and potato waffles as a kid

>>17598464
This is a pretty cool factoid, but unfortunately it will become irrelevant soon when I eradicate all arachnids across earth.

>>17597782
Japanese shit, even fake Japanese shit, is always ridiculously overpriced. Weebs are dumb enough to pay a premium for anything associated with GRORIOUS NIPPON.

>>17599394
>thinking weebs are why sushi restaurants exist, and then crying about it
That’s not a very intelligent think to think, anon. So you shouldn’t let it upset you.

>>17597782
raw fish goes bad very easily, you can't just throw it in a truck or on a shelf. Plus sushi rolls require a halfway skilled hand and some time.
>>17598147
this

>>17597784
very true, it seems the mysticism of Japan will never wear off. I remember finding it strange that a sushi place near my house has "AUTHENTIC JAPANESE" underneath the name and I guess it works cause I've seen that place around since I was a kid

>>17597782
This is complete bullshit. That's 6 dollars of sushi and 12 dollars of Texican food, and I couldn't tell which one of the waitresses was his daughter.

Unless you get the lunch special, that's gonna cost you $8-12 for the one on the right.
As for the sushi, I've seen some awful prices, but never that much. Clearly hyperbolic imagery to bait retards.
That being said, I would be so happy if my cheap meal came with a free gf.

>>17600371
>the mysticism of Japan
Lol what?
You don’t think you might be seriously blowing that out of proportion?
I mean for every restaurant that tries to call itself Japanese, there are at least 10 calling themselves Chinese or Mexican. But it’s the Japanese ones that people are mystified by?

>>17597782
OP is a lying piece of shit.

That California roll made with surimi stick and cucumber would sell for $10 USD at most. The cucumber is added to make it cheaper, as is the fake crab. If it were a real CA roll, meaning made with whole Dungeness crab meat from an actual leg segment and no cucumber (the only green should be avocado), then MAYBE it sells for $20+ USD.

As for the "Mexican" food, that's at least a $12.99 platter. Maybe it was $4.50 back in the late 1900s, but it hasn't been less than $10 since the Obama administration.

OP deserves a fate worse than death for spreading his filthy fucking lies.

It would have been better to include a bigger portion of sushi on the second image. I've found some hole in the wall sushi places that have massive portions for cheap.
