The Food Discussion Thread I

[The Free Joy State]

What's the most expensive food you've ever eaten? Mine was a plate of dumplings that actually costs a billion rupiah (USD 67,000), available at the Agung Podomoro company. (Of course it'll take 5-10 years to fully pay off the debt, but still)

Why would you eat a seventy thousand dollar dish that will take you years to pay off?

Personally, I don't get it.

I could understand someone going into debt to buy food if they had no money to buy even the bare essentials (that's an unfortunate reality for some people), but I don't see spending more money than you can comfortably pay on a meal.

Well, Agung Podomoro is a home mortgage company and they give a plate of dumpling to the customer during the buying process. If my family didn't buy the house, which costs a billion rupiah, we won't get the dumpling. (It's not funny anymore if explained but oh well — the joke is that money goes into buying the house, not the dumpling itself. I guess that's a bad one, although ij the end the dumpling costing us a billion rupiah is still technically true. But still, what's thr most expensive food you've bought?)

This.

I might be willing to splurge at a Michelin starred restaurant. But that would be a one time thing. Costs a couple of hundred to a 1000 euro or so, maybe more. Not something I can, nor want to, do on a regular basis. But one time for the experience. Sure.

But putting myself in debt for it? No.

Probably most expensive meal for just myself, 80 euro I guess. Three courses, good drinks. Good company.

Biggest bill I had to foothoove, 800 euro. But that was including food of my friends.

If I were to eat Crawfish from a national chain, it would have to be a chain that originated here in Louisiana. So, I would have to go with Popeyes for Crawfish, if they ever make a dish. Because they would know what the fuck they are doing.

I did not have mine at a national chain, but at a seafood restaurant in Florida.

I love this seafood shack in Florida near Cocoa Beach. It’s called miss apples.

The crayfish I had at the Phillipi Creek Oyster Bar in Sarasota. Other favorite seafood places are the Dry Dock Waterfront Grill on Longboat Key and The Charthouse, on the same. Nearer Tampa, in Palmetto, my favorite Cuban/Argentine place is Abuelita's Kitchen.

Hmmm if I remember

First poll was about Food Groups, then favorite grain food, then favorite drinks, then favorite pizza topping?

I don’t think we did the taste groups yet

Might be good

No Matcha ice cream?Is it only East Asia that has the taste of Matcha? The desserts and milk tea of matcha flavored are very delicious.

[Glenbrook]

Woooo 60 votes! I’m definitely voting for umami.

Matcha is wonderful

It’s strange because all 3 of my favorite ice cream flavors are green:

Matcha, mint chocolate chip, and pistachio

Actually, is there any source of umami other than Monosodium glutamate?

There are seafood, meats, aged cheeses, seaweeds, soy foods, mushrooms, tomatoes, kimchi, green tea which have a great amount of umami

Huh. Seems like everything in my country has been poisoned by Royco and Ajinomoto.

[Atheris]

I prefer sour foods, myself. When sour and sweet combine to make something truly delicious, like key lime pie or Sour Skittles... oh my god. Now that's heaven on earth.

[Neutraligon]

No spicy in that list?

What's Interesting, human taste can't feel spicy.Spicy is sense of pain.

Spicy isn't a flavor, sadly.

Good company: priceless.

More than any dish you can buy on the menu.

But our brain senses it as a flavour. It probably should be there.

Who (which country) has the spiciest food?

I believe there are several contenders

I don't eat a lot of foreign food, but I'd say either Mexico or India.
