Korean BBQ where you cook it yourself on the little grill in your table

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That's just paying extra to do the work for them!

Some countries it’s normal for a cook to do it for you, but I found it to be awkward as the cook just stands around half the time while you’re talking to your friends. I enjoy it because I can get exactly what I want. I also go to a local American style steakhouse where you cook your own as well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

My Korean family says it's so you know what meat you are getting. LOL.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Dry. Aged. Wagyu.

Lobster and crab. And more of the good butter. 🤤

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yakitori, tom yum soup, chicken skewers, sushi, exotic fruit, foreign snacks eg. biltong, ukrainian candy, japanese gummies

My boring choices would be Chinese takeaway and fresh KFC. The Chinese takeaway near me is delicious, and does great portions, but you're looking at at least £10 to £15 per person if you're not sharing. It's not a massive amount of money, but if you want to try a few dishes, it quickly racks up the cost.

The KFC is bog standard, but it's just far enough away that the food cools down by the time it gets to my house. This is more of a more money equals more time situation, so I'd have more time to go to the restaurant and eat it right there while it's hot.

A few people mentioned beef jerky. I'd like to try some of the different types and flavours. I've only really seen the one brand here, and they sell Teriyaki and spicy. Spicy just means that they've dumped enough spice on it to mask any other taste. I'd like to see what the other options are like.

Same with some of the other suggestions here, like swordfish. I'd love to try some of the more unusual foods, without going down the gimmicky route and eating things like rotten fish, or live octopus.

  • Real pizza
  • Vege burgers
  • Aloe Vera juice
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Depending on your location you can grow aloe very easily. It will grow from any cut bit put in soil

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

All the same foods but more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Dry packed sea scallops. So, so good, quick and easy to cook, but so expensive.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago

More horse meat. So damn good. I'd love to try some steaks, only had the deli slices.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Eh, might have steaks more than once a year or so. Still wouldn't be a regular thing.

Would likely increase the usage of aged balsamic to more than just a very dribble more and then.

Would definitely cook with better bourbons when I use it. Not that it really makes a huge difference in most cases, but I usually have a little bit while cooking when I do, so it would be nice lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

A fully stocked liquor cabinet. All the charcuterie board staples and all the cheeses ever. Throw some smoked salmon in there too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Editables from the cannabis dispensary. Just feels wrong paying so much for a few pieces of candy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'd probably buy hummus, buy a bunch of new stuff I've never tried, maybe buy some red meat a bit more often than once a month or so.

I also usually don't buy orange juice for cost reasons so probably that too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hummus is pretty cheap if you make it yourself.

Chickpeas, oil, tahini or peanut butter, garlic, lemon juice and some sort of hot pepper powder if you like it spicy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

You know, I never actually considered making it myself, I figured I'd need some device or masher etc. To make it, but I'll look into it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't know where in the world you are but the Publix near my house always has hummus tubs BOGO and that makes it extremely affordable. I just have to be careful not to look at much else cuz everything else is way too expensive for my blood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I live in a pretty HCOL area and buy food pretty conservatively. I can look into the BOGO tubs of it though! Mostly I feel its a snack type food and that's where I pinch on foods. The snack, desserts etc.

If I could find it cheap I could probably look into what meals I could have with hummus

Wines, cheeses, cold cuts, mutton, salmon, porcino. I'd be also experimenting different stuff here and there (casu marzu, maple syrup, etc.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Sushi all the time every day every hour every minute.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

All the fanciest Dijon ketchups.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Ones prepared by my personal shopper and chef, because I want to eat healthy but have more time for creative and outdoor activities.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Steak and wine probably. I eat it once a week but I’d like to eat it all the time
