...any one?

"The bacon butty, called Bacon Bling because of its shiny exterior, is made of truffle cream instead of butter, sandwiched between buns from Stroud bakers Hall's.

It is topped with saffron, and filled with black truffle shavings.

To complete the dish, the buns are garnished with real edible gold dust, and gold leaves.

Six sheets of rare-breed bacon fill the butty."

No. But why would you want a supermodel in a restaurant? They'd be shit waitresses, plus the prices would have to be huge to pay them to stay there.

The girl in the pic looks friendly, that's enough.

>is made of truffle cream instead of butter
what is? the whole thing?

A bacon and egg sandwich sounds good, for cheap.
none of the other things that make it expensive add to the bacon and egg. A lame restaurant added expensive sounding items to a plain dish so they can charge more and get a higher profit margin.

>heritage breed pigs

so.. You are saying regular breeding isn't based on heritage? How do you think breeding works? Taking for granted the pigs ass would taste better depending on it's heritage is simply retarded. Even more-so when it comes down to 7 different bacon slizes mashed together. It's like you'd have to force yourself into thinking you're eating something of quality just because you paid for it. What makes it rare? was it a pig with a small ass? did it grow up in the mountains and was only seen once? was it the lonely child?

Want to know a secret? If you buy bacon from package in store, you might just get ass from two very, very rare-bred pigs.

What makes it rare was the fact that for decades, people wanted leaner pigs so the vast majority of domesticated pigs were selectively bred for leanness. Meanwhile, in some obscure farms behind the iron curtain, fatty pigs still survived. Later, they were rediscovered by the west, and found to be more delicious.

It's not your ignorance that makes you awesome. It's the fact that you are proud of it, and take active measures to protect it.

>> No.4184789

>>4184773
So you actually believe most farms just take whatever shit pig they can find and let it breed, making more shitty pigs, instead of selecting the best ones?

Yeah I'm sure almost everyone does that.That'd sure be convenient and favourable on an economic aspect.

>> No.4184808

>>4184789

No, large commercial farms use pigs that meet the expectations of the general public. At the same time, when high class chefs and "foodies" begin to explore other ideas, smaller farms that cater to them look for older breeds of pigs that may provide various subjectively desirable traits, which the general public may still consider to be undesirable. The fat content being one example.

I like it how your poor understanding of economics is now being brought into the conversation. I expect in the next post you will turn this into a rant about "socialism", yes?

>> No.4184810

>>4184789
Are you retarded son? Breeding animals isn't as simple as compiling a stat sheet for each animal and going "Yup, these are the best" based on which has the highest numbers. Animals are bred towards whatever characteristic(s) are most marketable, which in the case of pork has been meat that's as lean as possible to the exclusion of all else. It's exactly the same as supermarket tomatoes being bred to be shiny red and perfectly shaped because that's what consumers want to buy despite the taste and texture being far inferior to ugly-but-delicious heirloom tomatoes.

Yes, a real chef has to follow ridiculous plating trends and either make the food 3 times taller than it is wide, or make a childish unappetizing mess and call it "deconstructed"
