what's the most comically overpriced ethnic food and why is it tacos?It's always like $16 minimum for three tiny little shit tacos. Where do mexicans get off on charging gringos so much for their poverty slop?
>>22202128>Where do mexicans get off on charging gringos so much for their poverty slop?Because white liberals in big cities happily pay those prices.
>>22202128um, sweaty. [rolls R's obnoxiously and for no reason]. you just don't appreciate heritage and authenticity. [pulls out overpriced coca-cola]. in my country, we celebrate our culture. [hoses everything in chili-lime]
Whoa
meat costs money
>>22202128gentrification unironicallyits the goto of the white liberal to show off how cultured they are
>>22202128Anything from the third world is overpriced.
>>22202132Because we can easily afford them, cletard. $16 isn't a financial crisis for us.
There's a stand across the street from me that sells them for $40 MXN ($2.35 USD) each. The restaurant next door, the tourist trap, sells a plate of three for $280 MXN ($16.47 USD). You just have to shop around no matter where you are.
>>22202128Definitely pho. maybe I just don't know where to get good pho but it's always expensive as shit and you have to fill it up with sauces just to achieve the illusion of flavor.
>>22202158>Because we can easily afford them, cletard. $16 isn't a financial crisis for us.uh huh, you've got me super jealous right now. Your monthly rent is 5x what my mortgage was and you'll never own anything.
>>22202128Eat the food gringo
>>22202128Make them yourself, they're piss easy to make. I make mine with beef cheek and chuck roast. Steam them or boil, then just go to town
>>22202196>I partially own some wooden fuckhole in the middle of nowhereoh the envy
>>22202226I can quite confidently say that your version would be haphazard, uncultured and generally shit tasting.
>>22202128>false premisetacos are a dollar, flaca
>>22202232it's $8 a taco at chipotle
test
>>22202132>>22202158this but it isn't even in big cities. it happens in blue state suburbs too>t. lifelong socal residentlibs living here will turn up their nose at some restaurant charging $4 apiece for street tacos because that's a brick & mortar business which is therefore capitalist which is therefore evil. the same fucking people however will go stand in line on the street at 10pm when a bunch of illegals who arent paying income tax or following health department procedures show up to sell the same tacos for $5 apiece off the truck. its the silliest thing
>>22202128That will be $18. I also hope you enjoyed our complimentary bland and basic white bread.
>>22202302Why do you think Mexicans run chipotle
>>22202356Seriously. Italian food is always overpriced. I can still find cheap Greek food though, close enough.There aren’t many Italian dishes i can’t make easily as well.
i hope seattle trash dont discover tamales and make them trendy so i cant afford them anymore :-(
>>22202354Damn lookit all these words I didn't read
this trashfure thread stays up but the op pic with the cute juggalette deep throating a megapop gets deleted?
>>22202584Bussers hate us
>>22202536It's cheap at Saizeriya you're welcome.
>>22202135the price of mexican coke isnt that different than us cokeretard
>>22202128Gozleme.It's basically a cheese naan or quesadilla but it went viral or something and now they charge like $18 for a basic cheese gozleme.For cheese and basic bread.Criminal
>>22202582You read the whole post. Because it's true.
Restaurant and roach coach tacos are always a rip off. You have to find a stand or a cart to get the good shit.
>>22202128poor detected.
You’re full of fuckin shit and probably one of the same /pol/ fags always stirring the pot over there. I can get 3 huge shrimp tacos for less than 14 at a relatively fancy sit down Mexican cantina place. Though it’s on the border so they can’t quite price gouge like you would see further into the states. That said nothing tops Jamaican or Indian food. Hey here’s your lil bit of rice and chicken bro that’ll be 18.99 + tip.
>>22202158>$16 isn't a financial crisis for usIf you don't donate that money to the Palestinians then you are a racist and a bigot. Pack a sandwich for lunch next time.
Sushi prices have gotten out of hand.
>>22202626>You have to find a stand or a cart to get the good shitget a load of this nigga lmao
My local taco stand do 2.50 per taco, must be a skill issue OP
>>22202680What on God's green earth are you cleting about?
>>22202228>I completely own nothing in a nigger-infested Crime-ridden shithole, that has endless noise and constantly smells bad, thankfully, I get luxury of spending 40 dollars for a burgerYou sure showed that hick
>>22202815I believe you mean on Science’s blue earth, Chud.
>>22202128The cost of french fries is too damn high
>>22202128I live in the south, and we have about 4000000 Mexican restaurants per square yard. You can get cheap tacos.
>live in state with tons of mexicans (not a border state, guess if you dare)>crazy competition>only the best survives around hereI truly believe my state has some of the cheapest Mexican food in the entire country. I honestly wonder.I can get authentic tacos for 2.20 a pop. All kinds, birria, al pastor, chorizo & eggs, beef tongue, tripas, you name it. Cope and seethe. I will keep enjoying my 2.20 tacos made by an authentic Mexican torta.
>>22202128lol tacos are 2.50/e on tuesday at every one of the hundreds of taco shops near me. even less at the mexican grocery store
>>22202179Really? In my experience pho is the much cheaper, lower key asian noodle soup vs ramen, which forces you to pay the baka gaijin weeb tax. Portions are usually much larger too, and more meat. Obviously you're mileage may vary if you're going to some gentro shithole called 'so pho-king good' selling waygu shortrib pho or something, but if the menu looks like pic related, the owners barely speak english and are using their kids as the waiters, you're golden.
>>22202356>>22202536That's because Italian food has the prestige of 'haute' cuisine in the U.S., even complete poverty slop Italian food with zero respect back home. With that said, I live in the NY area, there's a healthy culture here of mom & pop Italian pizzerias/delis/restaurants that aren't exactly cheap but the portions are borderline obscene, like one dish feeding 2-3. It is not at all the same as the $16 taco thing which leaves you still feeling famished after.
>>22202851Meanwhile russet potatoes are like 50¢ usd per kilo.
>>22202584>this thread about food & cooking stays up while my offtopic lust-provoking shitpost gets deleted?Really boggles the mind, paco
>>22202927I live in a wealthy suburb that is basically powered by so many mexicans that they have their own little ghetto mini-mexico on the outskirts of town, with a taco shack every ten feet almost exclusively patronized by each other. Even there, the tacos are mid and the prices are obscene.
>>22203379>Even there, the tacos are mid and the prices are obscene.They Know.>almost exclusively patronized by each otherSometimes it depends on the meat, the cut, etc. If they're getting lower prices from one another they probably know what type of meat to order: suadero and arracherra are more expensive cuts and will always be expensive. Fish too.
food trucks are reddit and I've never patronized one
>>22202135Man I'm so glad my parents were above 85 IQ. Thank you God.
>>22202135You can just tell the guy is getting angrier and angrier knowing he has embarked upon a retarded series of actions in front of his family but he has to save face and keep going and the same pride that motivated him at first to cook means he absolutely cannot admit he was wrong. Very prickly gif
>>22202179whatpho is the cheapest thing on the planet
>>22202128You're supposed to go to the taco trucks at construction sites and Home Depot parking lots. Don't go to the fancy hipster ones and go to the ones that actual Mexicans eat at.
>>22202158>Here in da BIG SHITTY we take pride (Pride!) in getting rammed up the ass with high prices! You flyover hicks just wouldn't understand. It's just part and parcel of bein in da BIG APPLE to pay over inflated prices on everything. Dat's whats makes us betters than yous!
>>22202645Why use an example of being literally right on the border as your "proof" to dismiss everyone else? You're the bullshitting liar here.Here's the menu of the most popular fast food Mexican place in my area (Filiberto's). It's considered 2AM drunk college kid food, the cheapest authentic Mexican you can eat that isn't literal Taco Bell.Their tacos are over $5 a piece. And this is in Tucson AZ so only one hour north of the Mexican border.
>>22203501OP and everyone else getting fucked won't leave their trendy big city enclave and pay "downtown" prices. They don't even bother whipping out their phone, navigating maps, and looking at places and their prices. They're right fucking there. Sometimes even the carts.
>>22203708>the most popular fast food Mexican place in my area>2 AM drunk college kid food>the cheapestYou guys are getting fucked in Tucson. Or maybe try looking for some place that's NOT a restaurant.
>>22202603You missed that anons point entirely. Coca cola(USA brand) being their culture, which is very funny.
>>22202128>Where do mexicans get offCharging the same price as a slimey Mcslop meal made by minimum wage slaves? Yeh fuck those mexicans and their owner operated small businesses supporting their families. You should call ICE and have their kids dragged out of school at gunpoint.
>>22204016gladly
>>22204034just make sure you call them from a payphone. Can't be too careful these days, in that great nation of freedom you are so courageous in defending.Your ancestors would be proud.
>>22204058too many fleet cameras watching
>>22204058>payphonetime for bed, grampa
>>22204081Just wear your red cap and you will blend in with all the other retarded blobs.
>>22202128It's definitely falafel which is priced like a meat dish at any Mediterranean restaurant I've been to when it is just in fact just a glorified hush puppy
>>22202128Buying tacos is a scam. You're always better off just going to a Mexican grocery store and buying the taco meat, corn tortillas, and toppings to cook at home. I bought 2 days worth of carnitas yesterday to make tacos at home for the price of three tacos from a taco truck.
>>22204016Jesus Christ, when did we start getting mentally ill lefty schizos on /ck/?
>>22202128Huh? It's 2.50 a taco at my favorite place
>>22207198I'm happy to accept that one of us is mentally ill and let objectivity decide.
>>22202128If you want cheap tacos go where the mexicans get them not where whites get them.
>>22203699as a lifelong new yorker it always seemed incredibly disingenuous to conflate a new york working class ethnic white accent with the attitudes of a transplant homosexual gentrifier. they're two completely different groups of people and barely even come into contact with each other.
>>22204016this but unironically
>>22202179If you want flavor order bu kho\stew. Pho is a scam option>>22202143But most of the meat is underwealmingly cheap. The number one types i go for at mexisharts r us type places is buche and offal. That shit is time consuming to get right and thus worth it.
Who knew tacos were so political.
>>22207947>Regionalism Because different ethnicities populate different regions>Social class and comfort with other ethnicities People with comfort going ethnic grocers and neighborhood stands vs people whose exposure to the food is in nightlife districts>View of disposable incomeHow one sees money, as a flash to impress or as something to forever be pinched.Talking about what ethnic food is overpriced is a perfect storm for politics on the most base level. Beyond whatever happening in the world or political parties, how much you spend on Tacos, Pho or Dim Sum is how you view the world
>>22206190Whoa this guy found out cooking at home is cheaper than going out! HOLY FUCK WHAT A REVELATION THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
I only ever make my own tacos from eggs with the price of meat these days. The occasional cheap tacos from stands is probably the cheapest way to eat meat.
>>22202158kek this post made the poor flyovers big mad
>>22202135Every exciting new cuisine = meat over rice (now with sauce)
>>22202128Mexican food in general is the most cosmically overrated cuisine on this fucking planet.
>>22202128Pizza for sure>flour, water, pinch of yeast, salt, canned tomato sauce, bagged mozzerella & pepperonis that cost $3 total sold for $20+ Once you learn how to make good pizza dough at home it's hard to justify ordering out unless you're drunk or having a bunch of people over
>>22203708>not $14.88Mexicans cannot help but be disappointing
>>22209592Unless you have an 800 degree brick oven at home, you're never replicating a quality pizza
>>22211067>quality pizzaPizza autism is dumbest autism. It was originally and will always be poor people cuisine.
>>22211072I agree. My local pizza place is actually a really good brick oven place and you can tell they use all the "right" ingredients that would get a pizza autist's approval but it's still not something I would prefer every time over Domino's pan butter flavored sneed oil slop. One thing I learned about making really good homemade pizzas is that I value eating different types of pizzas even if they are objectively worse than the "best" one.
>>22211072>It was originally and will always be poor people cuisine.Ok? And that's reflected in its pricing. $20 (which is a bif of an exaggeration, you can get a decently large pie for $16-18) will get you a meal you can split between 4 people. You're not splitting your shitty $16 plate of tacos. Regardless, it has nothing to do with price or pedigree. Just like the wokeh from jet engine burner woks in chinese cooking, you simply cannot replicate the heating elements provided in a commerical pizzeria at home.>>22211095Domino's slop isn't pizza. That's not to say it is bad, but it is own unique bread/sauce/cheese abomination you get on a coupon deal to scarf down at 2 am after a night of heavy drinking. It's not something you enjoy as a casual dinner.

>>22202128>$16 minimum for three tiny little shit tacosYou're going to the wrong locales...You gotta visit the Mexican market (Mercado).What general location are you located in, I'll help you find some reputable "Locals-only" places
>>22202128Because liberals are suckers for "ethnic cuisine" (brownoidslop) and think it's some sort of blood magic to make, when in reality it only takes about 5 minutes to chop onions, tomatoes, turnips, cucumbers, and shred cheese while you brown some ground beef, then throw it all onto a tortilla with some sour cream and hot sauce.
>>22202128whatever the blacks are cooking up in those hood cuisine videos$50 for a cheesecake is outrageous
>>22211750>ground beefno mames
>>22212197When I visited Atlanta, it was like an entire city of this. 'Ghetto luxury' bullshit. I went to places serving 'Hennessy Red Velvet Chicken and Waffles' for $35+ and its served with smuckers syrup packets and plastic utensils. Black people have the most comical ideas of what makes something luxury and because their culture is dominated by historical poverty, a lack of taste, and new money obsessed with status with zero financial literacy, you'll see some of the most outrageous pricing whiplash even in the most rundown ghetto.

>>22212796that's just a poor people thing anon. whites in flyover country think going to chains like applebee's for their kid's 8th grade graduation is a big deal.when all you know is mediocrity, of course you're going to think a slightly nicer version of it is a premium experience.
>>22212796Generally people who grew up poor and attained financial stability like cultural nods to poverty while keeping the real poverty out. The Strip Club Champagne Room effect.
>>22212827>whites in flyover country think going to chains like applebee's for their kid's 8th grade graduation is a big deal.Yeah but at Applebee's you're still getting a burger, fries, and an app for under $15. This craziness is purely black hood rich shit
>why is it tacos?Poor people food has always been co-opted and turned into rich people food. Lobster was considered poor people cuisine until the rich realized it tasted good, pizza was looked down on until rich assholes started eating it and pumping out wood-fired artisanal pizza shops.Tacos are, by design, slop in a tortilla. It's shredded or ground meat, some vegetables and greens in a handheld form. It's frequently used for leftovers or when you have a few bowls of materials that are kind of a mishmash of shit. I frequently make tacos when I have some leftover meat and lettuce, I just throw on pico de gallo or something and call it a day.Rich people are, once again, fleecing you. They hire illegal immigrants to make your food for cents on the dollar to eat low quality food doused in oil at a huge markup.Just make tacos at home dumbass
>>22213002if you spent as much time learning from rich people as you currently do hating them, you might actually improve the quality of your life.
>>22212796My ex is black and we went to a soul food spot that had "boozy watermelonade". It was watermelon lemonade with liquor and a big ol' wedge of melon up in that bitch. $26. And that was close to 20 years ago.
>>22213074I'm stating how thing are, the only thing that I hate is paying ridiculous prices for working class food. If you want to pay $30 for pizza or $20 for tacos from a millenial place like a retard then go ahead.It will simply always be cheaper to buy the food and make it at home.
>>22213074you'll never be a billionaire lil bro
>>22213418im not trying to be, sis
>>22202128i can buy three tacos for $4. you guys need better mexicans.

>>22213679what an accurate and fair characterization of the relevant posts.
>>22213690i agree, it is. thanks.
I get those tacos for $1.50 each, comes with two kinds of salsa, limes, and guacamole if you get 6 or more which is great for groups Try not living in a city or near brown people lol
latinx folx are fuming big time kek
>>22202128ramen is insane
>>22214159you are ALWAYS paying the gaijin tax for any 'food, japan :O', I paid almost $40 for some absolute garbage bbq eel over rice at a jap place that was almost certainly not even originally cooked in-house.
