Why is fish so fucking expensive?

Because it expires very quickly if it's not frozen and freezing it reduces the quality of it dramatically. Aside from that, it has to be transported long distances, usually from oceans, and kept either chilled or frozen the entire way.
So in conclusion
>If it's frozen you're paying for cost of transporting the frozen fish from point A to point B and/or just keeping it frozen the entire time
>If it's fresh but shipped from somewhere else then you're paying for the cost of transporting the chilled fish from point A to point B in a timely manner
>If it's fresh and local then you're paying a premium for locally produced premium food and the logistics of getting it to a restaurant/store/market very quickly and probably still chilling it

Is it? A side of salmon is 8-10 € per kilogram. What other high grade cut of protein costs less?

Depends on what kind you get. Some common varieties are pretty tasty and comparatively cheap.

Yes I know plenty of fatasses.
>>
I might?
I have an ugly relationship with food that entails forgetting about it for days when I'm busy, and then eating without considering calories when I remember it.
Thankfully for me, I really like veggies. I register any notes of bitterness as an intensely sweet flavor. As a result, I've been binging on kale for years. Health food, my ass. All I can say is that it grows like a weed and tastes like one of those cereals with sugar as the first three ingredients.

Chopped it finely, that's how I like it, I used to do the razorblade method, like that mediocre italian gangster movie (was it goodfellas or casino?)
Anyway, tossed it in with the onion, and put some stereotype italian music on. For today the playlist will include such hits as "counterstrike italy.wav" and "godfather soundtrack".

Though about using these hipster meme-carrots, but after a hearty giggle, decided to save those for a dish where they'd actually be visible. Also, don't have any hipster friends, so might as well wait for the next inevitable SJW student chick who comes over for dinner.

>Le "I hate ketchup" /ck/ meme
Can somebody explain where this came from? Is /ck/ just too contrarian to appreciate the zestiness of it or something? If handled properly, ketchup can make the most delicious meals in the world.
So what's the deal, /ck/?

Name a sauce or food that that ck DOES like and then wait five minutes for someone to show up and call them a faggot for liking it. This is just 4chan, son. The only sauces we are going to be able to agree on are like béchamel and other mother sauces that make cu/ck/s feel like culinary sophisticates.

Why do people use this spelling? is it just to make the Maytag Blue in their dipping sauce seem fancy, or is there a genuine misconception that this is correct?

Are you gonna eat this stuff?(If it ever becomes affordable)? Seems more humane and theoretically more efficient than the factory farming industry. It also appeals to my self righteousness, as a former vegan.

>McDonald's is opening a restaurant in Missouri that's unlike any other McDonald's in the country. The new 6,500-square-foot location in St. Joseph will offer all-you-can-eat french fries, customizable desserts, sandwiches, and burgers, as well as table service, The St. Joseph News-Press reports.
>It will have several digital kiosks for customers to order their food — which McDonald's is now adding to restaurants across the country — a "party room" for rent, and modern-looking couches and arm chairs for hanging out.
>The restaurant will also try to appeal to young moms by hosting events for mothers and kids during the day, such as play groups and children's book readings, according to its Facebook page. That's something rival chain Chick-fil-A has been doing for years. Chick-fil-A also recently added a new "mom's valet" service to make ordering easier for parents.
>On top of all the design-based bells and whistles, there will be an almost unlimited number of options for customizing food orders. “There really are hundreds of different choices to build the burger of your dreams,”Chris Habiger, the franchisee who is building the restaurant, told the News-Press.
>“Once you’ve placed your order, you can find your seat because we’ll bring it out to you."
Thoughts?

VOTING GUIDELINES
Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.
Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.
-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)
The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in Appeal.
For additional info and to see submissions from Previous years, check out the Challenge blog. (http://ckchallenge.blogspot.ca/)
**
Copypasta Scoring Format for Lazymodo
Presentation: /5
Originality: /5
Appeal: /5
Challenge Goals: /5
Total: /20

The theme of Round Six is...
Stuffed!
Honestly because I've had way too much fun with the entries for this round last year. While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.
Two contestants will not be moving on to the next round.

This looked good when I watched it
I work at a bar and this new line of tequila we carry comes in these beautiful hand-blown recycled glass bottles.
When a bottle's killed I race to grab it and clean it out, and now my collection is growing.
Any ideas on what to do with them? (I'm not looking to do anything business-related btw.)
