At current grocery prices, I can afford to smell it. Does that count?

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, I paid 35 €. Three weeks dry aged Irish beef.

[–] CptHacke@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah. Here in the US, grocery prices are such that I simply don't splurge or go to restaurants, anymore. The steak sure looks good, though!

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I stopped going to restaurants a long time ago.

My average per-serving cost cooking at home is $2.35, and that's often for things a restaurant would charge $35+ for.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Absolutely. I usually cook with cheap ingredients too, but my per-serving cost is probably more like 5 Euros. I've taught myself a lot of Asian recipes. Quick to prepare and very, very affordable most of the time.

But every now and then I go crazy and do stuff like this steak.

[–] CptHacke@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

This is the way.

With enough herbs and beer you can burn a chicken leg and pretend that it is lamb.

Ah, beer - making dinner and your date look so much better than they really are for thousands of years. ;)
