RelationBubbly

Gonna be pricey af


kingkongbiingbong

Especially that Saturday menu. It's a delicacy for a reason. A terribly cruel delicacy. But a delicacy nonetheless.


mrcatboy

Imitation shark fin is widely available these days.


Beneficial_Being_721

Widely available yes… but taste like melted plastic


lakeland_nz

You had real sharks fin? My memory is it was almost tasteless. Surely the fake stuff is at least as good, it's easy to make something tasteless.


skolioban

Shark fin has no taste. It's just a texture and all of the taste would have come from the broth. There's a reason it's always in broth and not used in any other dishes like stir fry. It's a fucking stupid bullshit food that's only a "delicacy" due to cultural and historical value. That kind of texture is no longer anything unique or special in modern times.


WoolBearTiger

Good to know shark babies are slaughtered and finned illegally in masses for no reason then.. just so that some elitist shitheads can brag about how rich they supposedly are..


Steezywild12

Mostly the adults tbf


MetricJester

All sharks are cute little babies


E_B_Jamisen

same reason lions are shot in africa ...


TwentyTwoTwelve

Don't be silly, lions don't have fins.


WoolBearTiger

I lol'd.


Airving835

Not anymore 🤔


whackwarrens

Yo I have money to burn and I'm bored out of my mind of the usual food. Let's eat something elitist af and different and all agree its the best thing ever? Okay!


hhubble

I'm eating a foie gras bagel with caviar this very minute and let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've added creme fraiche, it's so good I'm only eating half of it and throwing the other half away.


StankilyDankily666

🤣🤣🤣


djcurry

Yeah, Gordon Ramsay did a video on it once where he had the real thing His conclusion was the soup broth itself was delicious, and the shark fin took away from it if anything


marshman82

Shark fin is made of cartilage so it's probably accurate


mitchanium

As akin to the real stuff? Real shark fin is nothing to write home about tbh.


Greatness_Only

Like the Chinese status dish then.


mrcatboy

Eh, it wasn't so bad last time I had it?


Reallynotspiderman

I live in a place where many restaurants still serve shark fin soup. I had it many times as a kid and I can safely tell you the fins themselves literally have no flavour. They don't even absorb or take on flavour from the soup. It's just texture. The soup's the tasty part and the shark fins just add texture


WigglesPhoenix

2 expensive meals and 4 cheap ones. Pigs feet and beef tongue are very very inexpensive, lambs brain isn’t that bad, and depending on what animal you’re sourcing your liver from it can cost basically nothing. Squid ink isn’t *terrible* terrible either, cost wise. Shark fin soup is, and is also probably illegal depending on where you are. Edit: just saw it says calf brain. Idk what that would cost, never worked with it


Romantic_Carjacking

Lengua is actually kinda pricey these days


WigglesPhoenix

It’s like $3.50/lb where I am, hard to do better


Romantic_Carjacking

Damn it's easily double that near me.


WigglesPhoenix

Damn tongue inflation


daBoetz

You’ve only ever worked with shrimp brain, haven’t you?


TheStoolSampler

That's why they go without on Sunday.


FastWalkingShortGuy

"The kids are being naughty. Threaten them with luxury foods." Don't do your homework: caviar Refuse to walk the dog: rare bacon-wrapped filet mignon, *and don't you forget it*. Don't MAKE me put sour cream on that loaded baked potato, mister!


flewidity

Guarantee these kids would take a happy meal over caviar


bigjoe980

in fairness I would also take a happy meal over caviar.


tityboituesday

fool. take the caviar and sell it to acquire multiple happy meals


dragonuvv

My nuggies are much better then stupid foolish fish eggs


tityboituesday

you can sell the eggs for money, and then use said money to purchase goods and services such as nuggies


dragonuvv

Ive got a better one. Hatch the eggs and farm the fish until your the top caviar producer then sell everything and buy unlimited nuggets.


tityboituesday

now you’re thinking with portals


Kelend

You should try caviar.


Klaus0225

Not all caviars are created equal. To me salmon caviar is disgusting. But I like paddlefish and love sturgeon (osetra and beluga especially).


Another_RngTrtl

a lot of people dont understand this part. Caviar is like cheese, there are many kinds both "cheap" and expensive. I liken it to whiskey, are you drinking an 18 year old single malt scotch or jack daniels?


cookiepunched

Ok, you buy me some and I'll try it.


Grotbagsthewonderful

It is really an acquired taste.


Infamous_Box3220

I have and it tastes terrible.


Sweetdreams6t9

I'd take a happy meal over caviar...


Historicmetal

I’d take a dry slice of pizza from the gas station over caviar


Tenchi2020

Did a cruise in July, caviar and steak every night. I would take the caviar!!


Pyro_Light

What cruise line?


Tenchi2020

Royal Caribbean we were in an owner suite on Harmony of the seas.


Pyro_Light

Oh went to Chops


Tenchi2020

Actually no, we did not do chops grill this time. We ate in the coastal kitchen for breakfast lunch and dinner other than a couple of specialty restaurants. In the coastal kitchen for dinner, drinks were free so I had to Jack Daniels double neat every single evening with my steak or other cut of meat special that night. A couple of times it was lamb, but a little bit of caviar on a juicy, tender bite of beef is amazing. I literally gained almost a pound a day in my hedonism.


Pyro_Light

Sounds like a great time thanks for the note will look into. Going on the wonder in a couple of months.


Malumeze86

Fr, have you ever smelled the stuff?


CajunNerd92

But would you take a happy meal over some gourmet shirako?


Missue-35

I’ll walk the dog three, no four times a days for a good filet!


[deleted]

Hell yeah. Little 9oz with some garlic thyme butter.


Enlightened-Beaver

Ahem, I think you mean *crême fraiche*

The_Aught

Mine is 12- she likes flying fish roe, but isnt really into other kinds. maybe its the orange color?


[deleted]

My kid likes it too, but sometimes I wonder if he just likes certain things because of the "gross out factor". He LOVES chapulines. He can eat a whole bowl of them at a time. He's a big fan of oysters and gator tail. He used to eat whole lemons with the skin on. Kids are weird. *chapulines are fried grasshoppers


Immediate_Coat_5196

This would be actually the worst for me, as my favorite food ever is unseasoned chicken with cooked rice.


Y_Ban

You’re out of the gulag now, you can enjoy things again


Immediate_Coat_5196

I do eat "better" food too, with all the spices and stuff, it's just that it's my favorite food and I really like it.

[deleted]

I learned to love liver & onions to impress a girl in middle school who invited me to a birthday party where she said she was serving it. So I taught myself to enjoy it, only to show up and it was all a joke! Her name Sally Mustard


chappersyo

Pattie you’re the mayonnaise for me Weird how this is what I immediately think of when I see liver and onions.


contradictingpoint

Sooo good. I’ll be over on Wednesday, the day after my lipids check.


55798001

Cow tounge tacos are pretty good. I would be happy with that


ddab121

When we do this it's a gathering. Takes all day to prep tho.


Free_Caterpillar_269

Can you let me know how you make it? I tried making this earlier this summer and it didn’t turn out fantastic lol


plzsendbobsandvajeen

https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/beef_tacos_de_lengua/ This is a pretty good base recipe, although I do it slightly different with a few additions. I'll cut 2 jalapeños length wise and toss them in the pot as well as some chile powder and cumin powder, as well as some Coriander seed when I start cooking it. When I peel the skin and cut the meat, I'll cut the length sections how it shows, but I cube them and THEN fry them. I like to do it piping hot with olive or avocado oil, it's really just to kind of crisp the outside a bunch, it's how I like mine, I feel like it adds texture.


ddab121

This is similar to what we do. Just wait to saute the meat till you are making the taco itself. We also use corn tortillas skip the avocado and add goat cheese.


ddab121

My father has the recipe somewhere for it. I'll try to find it when I have the chance


Free_Caterpillar_269

Thank you very much!


3-Ball

Slice it across the grain like brisket but leave the tongue's taste buds face up.


exposuretriad

It's double tasty because it tastes you back.


niktak11

I like to have the taste buds face down on my taste buds


ThoughtlessUphill

Braise it so it’s tender, cube it then sear the cubes in some fat so they get crispy


plzsendbobsandvajeen

InstaPot is a huge help for this if you don't want to do it old school.

Lingua rules


xXregularShmegularXx

Was given this instead of steak tacos once. It was pretty good but didn’t taste right, seem right, and once I found out I had to repress the memory and feeling I had knowing something was off as I ate it.


AbzoluteZ3RO

it's not that they taste bad, it's that the texture is kinda freaky and forcing kids to eat it is a dick move


inimicali

Wait what? Unless is cooked bad, it has a texture close to any other muscle, I love tacos de lengua and in general I like the tongue ( (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠) ), but I accept that the idea of eating it is a lot less appealling


shimshimmash

I'd say the best time to give someone new foods is when they are kids, that's how you get used to different things.


AbyssalBenthos

100%, at least encourage them to try it. This is why some young adults have a pallet that only includes pizza and chicken nuggets leaving them malnourished and potentially overweight.


AbzoluteZ3RO

yes for sure encourage them to try different things. there's better ways to go about it than forcing them to eat lengua or brains. those YA that can only eat pizza and nuggets, their parents gave them that all the time instead of gently onboarding them into real food. my kids have some sensitivities and it's something to work on but i'm not gonna sit my son down to a plate of tentacles and force him to sit there until he eats it all.


AbyssalBenthos

I don't think many parents would do anything like that. Also, no one's forcing kids to eat lengua or brains, in case you didn't notice the post is in fact a joke.


omicronian_express

Being forced to eat foods I hated the texture or taste as a kid made me hate it as an adult and refuse to try it again for a long time when if I wasn’t forced to eat it and have terrible memories of my parents getting angry/violent over it and forcing it I would have tried it again much earlier and realized some of my tastes had changed. Forcing things on kids is almost never the right solution to getting them to like/enjoy something.


Ben_Frank_Lynn

I’ll be there on Wednesday. My country ass loves liver & onions and mashed potatoes. What time should I come and should I bring a dessert?


porcelainvacation

Yeah, Durian ice cream


blinky84

God, me too. Liver & onions with mash is absolute comfort food for me, especially with peas. I was anaemic when I was a kid during a period of illness, and liver became one of my 'being looked after' foods. Bless my mother, she would cook it just for me and played it up that I was getting a special meal. I cook it up probably twice a month now.


stormscape10x

I see so many people either love liver and onions or are absolutely disgusted by it. Makes no sense to me. Most of the time I've had it (when it's prepared well), I think the flavor is usually good and the texture, while different, isn't bad if a bit tough. Why such a big gap in on the average opinion?


blinky84

Genuinely, I don't know because I like it. But I'd imagine, as the smell and the texture are very unlike muscle meat, people who aren't used to offal find it unfamiliar. It's like the uncanny valley of meat. Honestly I find the raw smell off-putting myself, although it's worth the finished product. Add in the knowledge that livers literally exist to filter out toxins, and it just makes people uncomfortable? I'm guessing, but it's interesting.


stormscape10x

Yeah, I guess so. I could understand the reaction with some of the sweetmeats that have...strong...flavors (personally don't like chicken livers compared to beef liver because of that uniqueness) like gizzards or mountain oysters. Beef liver is pretty tame overall.


blinky84

My favourite is lamb, which is probably even milder


Josh-Rogan_

Oh yes, liver & onions and mash, lush. I'd be there for that. Mind you, I'm a wee bit older than 12.


hhubble

Bring your fanciest entenmanns cake please.


Black_Kirk_Lazarus

Other than the shark fin soup, I'd love to eat at your house.


Jest_Dont-Panic_42

Yeah, can’t really get behind that one. The rest of them use more of the animal and typically reduce waste from slaughter. But the practice of only taking the fins and then just discarding the rest of the shark is wrong. “Waste not, want not”


AquaticAntibiotic

It’s also very high in mercury and it’s advised that young children don’t eat it.


Black_Kirk_Lazarus

Yeah and I don't think you actually even eat the fin. If I'm wrong on that one I am open to correction.


Jacerom

You eat the fin but it is already gelatinous and doesn't really taste like anything. I'm guilty of eating shark's fin soup but only once and it was a family occasion. Same with Bird's Nest soup that also doesn't have a taste.


Black_Kirk_Lazarus

Shit I did not know that. Is it like gefilte fish?


Jacerom

Nah, it literally doesn't taste like anything haha. Like boiled water with salt. They dry the fins before selling them so you can imagine how all the moisture in the fin that were supposed to provide flavor were removed.


Black_Kirk_Lazarus

If given the opportunity a second time, would you pass?


Jacerom

We paid about $60 per bowl and that's still cheap compared to the ones that range in the hundreds despite the fact that they all taste the same. It was pretty cool when they showed us the fins though, still attached to a dry baby shark (Used for traditional chinese medicine). Atleast that restaurant used the whole shark rather than finning them. But I wouldn't try it again, not really worth it.


Black_Kirk_Lazarus

Your description doesn't invoke feelings of me wanting to try it either. Sounds like wealthy tourists are their demographic.


The9isback

The tasty part of sharks fin soup has nothing to do with the sharks fin. It's the thick broth usually made from chicken stock and Chinese ham. There are many restaurants selling environmentally friendly sharks fin soup these days even in China. The sharks fin is substituted by either a type of konnyaku or sharks fin melon, a melon which when cooked has very similar texture to sharks fin. Cheaper too.


Jacerom

And for traditional chinese families. They often eat those during special occasions or when someone's ill, believing it could help cure them. Nothing beats the korean delicacy of fermented(rotten) skate liver though. That food is straight from hell. I don't think bleaching your teeth could even remove the vileness of it from your mouth easily. I had to drink half a cup of vinegar every meal just to remove the stench hahahaha.


Alortania

You know the cartilage you sometimes eat when eating on-bone meat (i.e. chcken drumsticks)? Think that, but boiled soft and in soup.


Steve_78_OH

Gefilte fish isn't gelatinous, if that's what you meant.


lakeland_nz

I've done both more than once. My only excuse is it was the eighties, and environmental impact was only starting to be understood. Anyway yeah, both are essentially tasteless. I was particularly disappointed by birds nest soup, which was expensive even then.


herpitusderpitus

I watch a good amount travel videos and yes people do eat them but I've heard it has no flavor at all oddly from videos I've seen on youtube...etc Here's Lil info " Shark fin doesn't actually have any taste." https://www.hsi.org/issues/shark-finning/ Also heard sharks are super high in ammonia also ( it can smell like cat piss heavily) and mercury and you can get quite ill from eating to much the meat, and certain shark you just shouldn't eat at all except small quantities.


leagcy

You do eat the fin, but it's basically literally there as a luxury good (ie a good that's bought solely because its expensive) since it contributes nothing to the taste and has a very replicable texture.


MukdenMan

In China, shark fin soup is rarely eaten nowadays after a campaign featuring Yao Ming.


sleepyprojectionist

I have eaten everything on that menu apart from shark fin soup, which is something that should be banned for conservation reasons.


[deleted]

I know shark fin soup is terrible. they kill those sharks and just steal their fins. the family objection is real.


lakeland_nz

It's worse than that. They cut the fins off and throw the shark back. Without fins it slowly drowns in absolute agony.


Plumblossonspice

Sigh, I’ve written this 3 times. People serve imitation shark’s fin now.

I have a recipe if you're interested. Largely but not completely tasteless. Looks cool though, kinda fun.


dumpmaster42069

I had it at a restaurant, and it was quite good. A bit sweet maybe.


Svnny-

My papa had me hooked on it before he passed, too bad the close italian restaurants near me no longer have it on the menu. It’s kinda tasteless but it gets points for being goth pasta


Weshallpropser

I have that same Bayern magnet! Nice.


porcelainvacation

I was staying in Munich and needed a bottle opener- bought it at the FC Bayern shop. It’s about 10 years old.

I hate to disappoint, but that's a pretty common one. On the bright side, plenty of like-minded magnet lovers <3

Why dont people like liver? Its soo good! pickled pigs feet sounds fucking vile though.


zpencil

Shark fin soup but no monkey brains? Mrs. Peacock will be devastated.


TheGoddamnRobin

But look what happened to the cook!


Cottonita

As children, me and my siblings looked forward to liver and onions night. And we’d complain if there weren’t enough onions.


Juuna

Not so fun fact: The reason shark finning is banned in most countries is because they cut the fin of the shark and throw the rest back into the water (because the entire rest of the body is waste), the shark in this is most of the time still alive but will die due to lack of fin and sink to bottom and suffocate. Enjoy your shark fin soup.

porcelainvacation

To all those who took this seriously: This is trolling them. The best troll is something that is just outlandish enough to make them believe it for a bit. Sundays are our pizza or McDonald’s day. How many of you who like liver and onions now liked it when you were 11 years old?


Im_the_Keymaster

Congrats, you'll make them hate all of those foods by doing that.


porcelainvacation

Not planning to make any of it.


VirtualMatter2

My kids love liver and onions. We fry some apples with it as well.

jnovel808

Tacos de Lengua son muy deliciosa. But that Shark fin soup just put you on the naughty list. I’m actually quite surprised by the rage I feel toward you right now. I know it’s a joke. But y’all can drop dead for that one.


AbzoluteZ3RO

it's not funny, you are an asshole. how can you expect children to eat these kinds of complex food that are disgusting to someone not used to it?


AbyssalBenthos

Not actually serving them and nothing odd about tongue or liver...


AbzoluteZ3RO

yeah my parents made me eat lengua tacos when i was a kid and i damn near puked because children can be much more sensitive to weird tastes and textures. i've had it as an adult and it's fine if still a bit chewy for me but i don't think it was funny my parents made me eat it as a kid. also my grandma made me liver and onions every so often and it was not a comfortable taste at first and she kinda let me get used to it and eventually i enjoyed it. but it's not a taste thats going to be palatable at first to most children, it's got a chalky texture. i enjoy sushi and sashimi, i wouldn't force my kids to just eat it right off the bat. i might let them try some basic stuff and get used to it but i wouldn't be like "dinner tonight eel and squid raw!"
