You know what I mean?
Like, I bake an Italian bread and then we each get a little dipping plate and fill it with good Greek olive oil and a bit of salt-n-pepper, and then we take a slice and dip, nibble, dip, nibble... until the oil is all gone. Soooo satisfying, especially when served with fresh olives and proscuitto and some sheep feta. 🤌
But eat some cheap turkey-hen schnitzel and 5 minutes later I'm like OMG WHERE FOOD?!!!
I swear that shit is literally 50% water. Put it in the pan and if just shrinks down to nothing.
european food quality nowadays is so bad it's disgusting, and so hard to find actual beef, all the meat behind the glass is veal and pork and chicken, and they treat those beasts abysmally where they produce them, stuck in tight little feedlots or even in cages, and it's ridiculous because actually the quality reduction is way more than the cost saving in production
and then they fatten it up with toxic salts in water and pretend there's no problem
Yeah, I can't do it. Grosses me out. I'd rather eat less of the good stuff.
I bought some cheap bacon strips, a few months back, and they literally shriveled down to narrow strings and smelled bitter. I threw it in the trash. Ugh.
yeah, almost nothing you see anymore is worth buying, it's disgusting... around here, the only beef you can get at all is frozen beef patties and the price is like 20eur/kg!
and most of the ones you actually see taste like 50% soy
Yeah, sus.
My butcher's ground beef is ground out of the end-bits and trimmings of the roasts and steaks, and it tastes so good. They grind it, while you wait.
yeah, the beef is one of the things i miss a lot from sarajevo
i think that the yugoslavians know what they are gonna lose to EU membership from their frequent visits to the nearby lands that are in... i mean, the most hilarious thing you will ever see in bulgaria is the serbian grills, it's like, try to make actual pljeskavica and cevapi without actual beef and lamb... you can't! it's so awful it's actually worse than the regular bulgarian pork based shite

and here i was dreaming of how food in Germany 10 years ago was so much healthier, so much easier to not gain weight, feel bloated.
every guest i have from Europe complains how sweet every food and dish is in Texas.
serbian/bosnian > european > american
but honestly, i can't really imagine there is a big gap between european and american food quality anymore
it's all hydrogenated seed oils and modified starches and vegetable gums now, and the meat is mostly been soaked in nitrite brines to add weight and liberally mixed with soy protein and dowsed with more hydrogenated vegetable oils, and don't forget to add some extra maltodextrin
also, you still have beef over there, it's almost gone here
the UK there was still a lot of beef and lamb but also not very well processed, all coming in microplastic laden shrinkwrap packages at marks and spencers and whatnot
I visited El Salvador last year and the lake front hotel got their breakfast eggs and platanos from the groups of huts tucked behind waterfront. I assume the eggs came from chickens roaming the jungle.
the taste of simple eggs from the jungle were mind-bogglingly better than the eggs I get from Whole Foods.
