/ck/ - Food & Cooking

A pancake, an egg, a bacon.

Well rounded breakfast.

I once paid 9.50 for a hot dog at a concert.

>>6843811
You could've snuck in your own hotdog for under a buck. Why do you allow yourself to be gouged like that?

This kinda counts

>>6843812
The girl that sold it to me was really pretty. She also had a donut in her purse. I bet that would have been cheaper.

>>6843807
I once paid £12 for a Hamburger sandwich in London.
>mfw: it tasted awful

$22
A lobster roll at the manhattan food festival last year
It was good, not $22 good though

I once paid $18 for a Heineken on Miami, that place is a shit hole

>>6843811
2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 2 bacon costs me $3.25 at my local breakfast joint.

There is nothing "well-rounded" about paying almost twice that for half the food.

>>6843832
What the hell is a hamburger sandwich?

>>6843840
>on Miami
Do people actually speak like this?

Anyone here who has ever bought bottled water has no right to complain about scams, unless you live in an area where your tap water is literally polluted, like Cali was back in the day.

No, fluoride does not count.

>>6843845
How the fuck does fluoride not count?

>>6843849
Go back to your shitty Monsanto thread, whackjob.

>>6843849
Because your "Everest spring water" comes from municipal sources, dumbass.

>>6843843
Probably a typo
But i'm from long island and saying, "i live on long island" is an acceptable way to phrase it

>>6843842
You trolling?

>>6843858
That's because it's an island that you actually live on. You live on islands. You live in cities.

>>6843857
I only drink Smartwater.

>>6843807
how is that a scam? did the menu say you would get more?

>>6843841
I like waffles anyway. But I guess it could be cheaper. I like to support local businesses though.

>>6843807
>I went to a place of business, they gave me a list of services provided along with corresponding prices, I accepted these terms and requested one of their services, they fulfilled this obligation and when it came to render payment the amount was the same as we agreed on before hand

How bad is your autism?

>that disgusting looking "butter"
>that "pancake" that looks re-heated in the oven
>that burned bacon
>that broken omelette probably sold as "scrambled eggs"

Is this food gore thread?

>>6843915
but he's completely right?

>>6843921
It doesn't matter if he's right or wrong. Doing that autistic reddit thing where you overly explain a simple action in overly formal language is never acceptable.

How about fuck all of you, I just paid $18 for 600g (just over 1lb) of pick and mix candy at Sydney airport

Because I was a bit drunk and didn't give a fuck

>>6843921
>>6843911
So if you agree to the terms and conditions of a Ponzi scheme or a non-free "free" credit report site or a televangelist seed offering, does that make it not a scam?

>>6843930
Did they provide full discourse, like a restaurant?

>>6843935
>full discourse
What a fucking retard.

I think a pancake, a egg, a slice of bacon is a good breakfast. Give me a cup of coffee and a slice of cantelope and I am happy. The price should be $5.50.

>>6843930
it's not a scam it's just overpriced food
i dont know what you're getting at

>>6843929
Aussies have strong money atm

Considering those are all high carbohydrate foods that is pretty good value when you price it out on a per calorie basis. If you average 300 calories per dollar spent you aren't going to starve.

>>6843818

You bought a purse hot dog off a qt.314 at a concert?

>>6843980
>eggs and bacon
>high in carbs
kek

>>6843807
before Shirimeteva airport (main airport in Moscow) remodeled and installed a bunch of food places a few years back, a cup of coffee in the lobby cost upwards of 30 euros.

>>6844010
They are all high fat and high in calories. Not healthy in the least.

>>6844032
durrrrr

>>6844032
What does that have to do with them being high in carbohydrates?

>>6844042
pancake and bacon in sugary syrup is loaded with sugary calories.

>>6844044
I don't see any syrup on that plate. Do you?

>>6844061
I don't think so. No.

>>6844075
>those are all high carbohydrate foods
So how the fuck does that statement make sense in the context of OP's image?

>>6844079
I think most people put syrup on there pancake even if it wasn't in the picture yet.

>>6843979
Lel you think we are upside down right? Our dollar has gone down the shitter against the USD. It's currently 70c/1 you noob.

They make sugar free syrup.

>>6844086
I wasn't aware that putting syrup on your pancake makes eggs high carb. I guess you learn something new every day.

>>6844025
Russia is one of the cheapest countries for a tourist to eat nowadays.

Regularly had good quality 3 course meals for the amount that OP paid for his pathetic breakfast.

>>6843842
A sandwich made out of hamburgers

>>6843882
You must be smart

>>6843921
no he's not?

>>6844104

>>6843807
I was in newark airport I think, and I saw there was a banh mi place. $10 for a bland whitewashed banh mi, when a top tier one should cost no more than $4

>>6843869
And my dick lives inside your mom

>>6844219
Airports are like sports stadiums. If you're eating the food there you don't give a shit how much it costs.

Chicken wings.....you order ten and they bring you five cut in (roughly) half.

>>6843807
>Scam
>Menu tells you how much it costs and how much food is on the plate
>A scam

>>6844235
Perhaps he should have said ripoff, which it totally is.

Also, I'm almost 100% certain OP didn't eat there, since o.jpg is yelp filename.

>>6843842
Are you high? It's a patty in a bun, all wrapped in two pieces of bread. Gotta carb 'em all.

>>6844242
Not really. As another anon said if you're there then you're bored in the first place, that's US baseball and football. WOW 4 hours to do a game that's one hour. I'd fuckin just leave if I was alone and that's just NFL, for baseball, watching people in tights rub their balls and spit, and rotate their balls isn't entertaining to me. I'm not a homosexual.

>>6844748
Excuse me? What did any of that have to do with my post?

>>6843807

$20+ for a fast-food tier lobster roll at Quincy Market in Boston

I work at a breakfast joint and that would be our kids meal. Costs 5.99 CAD at my restaurant.

>>6844113
Ha!

Pic related.

Also, beer at sporting events.
>$12 for a cup of watered down Bud Light

>>6843841
>2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 2 bacon costs me $3.25 at my local breakfast joint.
>There is nothing "well-rounded" about paying almost twice that for half the food.
The price does seem excessive, unless that's a super high rent area like Manhattan (in which case it would go out of business for being too plain). However, I do wonder how much the same restaurant would have charged for twice or three times as much food. Perhaps they have a high price for basically any plate of food to cover overhead, but larger quantities cost relatively less, the way a large coke might be twice the quantity for a 20% higher price.

Whether OP ordered 1 egg/bacon/pancake or 2, the greeter still spent the same time seating the person, the server spent the same time taking and delivering the order, the busser spent the same time prepping/clearing the table and refilling the water, the dishwasher spent the same time cleaning the dishes and silverware, and the cook spent nearly the same time cooking and plating the food. I can understand a restaurant owner not wanting to cater to people who order a super small breakfast with super low prices...that's just not good business.

>>6845095
OP didn't order shit. the photo is from yelp

>>6843869
lol
Long Island isn't an island.

>>6845108
>Long Island isn't an island
kek

>>6844235
For $6 I would expect a fresh piece of bacon, let alone the eggs and a pancake that didn't look like they were frozen and microwaved.

I'd say passing frozen food off as your own is a scam.

>>6845009
Thank you. This is the nicest thing anyone has said to me in weeks. I'm not even joking.

>>6845158

That looks like a freshly baked pancake to me. Eggs and bacon, eh, who knows.

>>6844231
except in portland

>>6845326
nah, those are definitely frozen

>>6843812
But he did anon.

>>6845326
the edges are wrinkled, it looks reheated

im sure its all edible, but for 6$ ill go elsewhere

>>6845304
your life is worth more than you think and never give up

>>6845304
Nice blog post faggot!


Just kidding, Hope what's left of the week treats you better, anon.

>>6845365
I thought you died.

>>6845365
>>6845366

Thank you.

>>6843807
Damn OP. You got fucked
Here's eight bucks worth of food from waffle house.

>>6843807
All restaurants and pre-prepared food is scam. the closer you get to making your food YOURSELF the more money you will save.

>>6845491
Not really. The expectation at a decent restaurant is that you'll get either better food or food as good as you can make at home, in less time, with obviously less work. That's why you spend the extra money - the quality and/or convenience.

>>6845499
Okay. Fine.
>you'll get either better food or food as good as you can make at home, in less time, with obviously less work.
All restaurants and pre-prepared food is a scam, seemingly unless you are a mental lameduck (with or without internet), a SERF with no time for self improvement, or a lazy faggot.

Which are you, anon?

>>6845503
Or someone with a job who would rather spend the night drinking, socializing, and eating good food with friends than cooking a large meal for a group of people and doing dishes afterwards.

You seem poor and/or asocial.

>>6845523
That's what I said. Kinda. You just combined SERF and Lazy Faggot and a lame duck into a single context.

>>6845541
And you're a ruseman a bait thrower and shitposter. See, I can call you names, too.

>>6845491
It's definitely way cheaper to buy flour than it would be to establish wheat fields and make my own.

>>6845541
Fuck off poor fag, this is a thread for people who like eating more than rice everyday

>>6844010
You forgot that theres a fucking pancake with is nearly 100% carbs you dumb faggot

>>6845579
Okay, but how does that make them "all high carbohydrate foods" as >>6843980 claimed?

>>6843807
Thats literally $0.57 to make. They made a profit off you hard.

>>6845556
It can be cheaper. Your mileage will vary with your soil. If you live in the sandhills then you gotta grow sandhills produce.

>>6845565
You don't even understand what I said.
>be me
>see a thread about this specific restaurant being a ripofff
>pfft. Duh. all restaurants are rip offs. You can but ingedients and prepare them yourself for much cheaper. You can make and grow the ingrdredients and get it cheaper still.
>tfw anons are butthurt and DEFENDING their right to be butthurt ceaselessly

Pic related. It's y'all.

>>6845590
This is what I said >>6845491 except I made the point wide and you made it narrow.

>>6845607
Yes, that is the difference between recognizing that different things happen in different situations, and being a generalizing retard.

>>6845620
No. It's the difference between having and sharing the fruits of a wide scope of perception and having and sharing the fruits of a narrow scope of perception. I can see and share things you can't because I see the bigger picture and you don't.

>>6845627

BTFO

>>6843807
Anything from papa johns that's not 50% off. Use discount code YANKEES6 or some shit, that might be valid today or tomorrow, I don't keep track if it. If that boring shit team scores 6+ or something like that then the code goes active the next day.

The other scam is $1 slices in NYC. Those are the most disgusting things on the planet. Fuckin' raccoons prowel Central Park at night and even they don't touch that shit.

Even during the day pic related, that little cunt tried to steal a sammach from me. They're like fuckin' niggers.

Stupid raccoon nigger looking like a nigger since it didn't get my sandwich.

>>6845462
sure but...waffle house...
oh who am I kidding...one smothered hash browns please

>>6845462
>no "cheese" n eggs
:^\
but on the real Waffle House str8 dope
Also, Scam city coming in
Just look at these sheeple

>>6845592
You also have to consider the opportunity cost of my time. Not being a subsistence farmer means that tending my wheat fields and grinding my grains would have to be done in addition to, or in place of, the working week.

>>6845708
I don't have to consider anything.

>>6845304
I hope u kill urself fgt :^)

>>6843807
10 years ago 5 dollars would get you a short stack, the eggs, and double the bacon. Some places would even give you bacon and sasuage. This inflation bullshit has crept up on us and nobody says a fucking word. In the 90s a value meal from a fast food restraunt was 2.99 for a large, now you gotta drop 10 bucks for the same shit. Regular restruants would serve their meals with 2-3 side dishes besides the soup or salad, now you're lucky to get 1 side dish for twice the price.

>>6843911
>>6843888
because you are a child that doesnt remember how much money use to be worth. Advertisers target kids and young adults for this very reason.

>>6844095
Carbohydrates are glucose, glucose is sugar. Putting sugar on your eggs make them a high sugar food.

>>6844091
Sugar free is a LEGAL term, and it simply means the product doesn't contain cane or beet sugar. But if it's something made in america or for americans, I can guarantee you that it most certainly contains some form of sucrose of fructose.

>>6845523
lmao look at this serf, saying anything to justify his shit cooking skills
get the FUCK off my cooking board if you don't even cook you fucking peasant

>>6843843
Typo

Every single fucking dish I've eaten since moving to the USA

>>6845462
I feel so sorry for that waffle. It's pores are literally being clogged with cholesterol.

>>6844748
The fuck is wrong with you? Does your America hate boner have to extend to a question about food prices? Seriously?

>>6845906
First our food is stupidly cheap. And now it's too expensive. The criticisms don't even make sense.

>>6845826
Crept up? Inflation has been a part of nearly every country for fuckin decades. It hasn't crept up. People just stupidly didn't realize it would continue for some reason. People demand low prices then bitch when food portions have to decrease because of inflation and the prices they pay for ingredients.

>>6845845
How does putting sugar on pancakes make the eggs on the other side of the plate high carb?
