Porterhouse steak, last week ( it was on sale ) was $9.99 a lb.!
“The Revolution” will kill ya.
Just what we need. Higher food prices.
But maybe our new Chinese friends crossing the border daily will help.
China now owns some farm land in the US.
In U.S. Rep. Mike Collins website he noted: “China owns 384,000 acres of American agricultural land. That’s a 30% increase just since 2019. And on top of that, they own land near an air force base in North Dakota. That’s a clear threat to our national security.”
That beef price may put hamburger stands out of business.
That and wages, who would buy the burgers.
They were created to give us something cheap to eat out.
Not any more...
Look to Asia for our future street vendors ...
insect-based and fungi-based foods, or a spicy bat wing.
or just close your eyes and shove it in.
Just bout everything is edible ... sort of.
hmmmm .... I wonder ... FDP at 24.16 up .36c today.
ketchup ... you heard it here first
Bat wing burger...
Hmmm...
Eat the Bugs, or else....
Did we discover how to make bread without flour?
I noticed that as well. How can flour go up by over a third, butter by a quarter, and eggs by 36%, yet bread increase by less than 10%.
Something doesn’t make much sense here...
>> some climate activists see a solution in food alternatives, such as insect-based and fungi-based foods.
“Climate activists” should be butchered and fed to dogs.
>> Did we discover how to make bread without flour?
Good question.

Where are you? (Roughly)
Ct.!
My guess would be that the bread is the finished product, which required expensive machines and man-hours to produce, which accounts for a lot (most?) of the price of bread. The cost of the raw materials put into the bread is probably(??) a low percentage of the total cost.
The high price for lamb in Ct I understand.
The $10/lb for porterhouse I don’t understand.
We (Central Texas) are paying WAY more for beef than that... and this is cattle country.
I looked into subsidies for bread makers. I didn’t find anything. But I DID find articles on how much the government subsidizes wheat and other crops and produce. No wonder the raw materials are increasing in price - the government is involved!
OOOO ya .... bread without flour
if you think bugs will be good, just wait till you get a nice slice of mid evil ... dark ages... bread.
I won't get all detaily here but just know .... bread has often been made with “other” ingredients.
And the trend is coming back .... it's all cloaked in “enviro friendly” “earf saving” utopia bla bla ... but it will be back .... and you will like it... with your bugs
The price for rib lamb chops is the usual price, and that NEVER goes on sale.
OTOH...because of where we are, lobster ( yes, there ARE lobsters in the ocean off CT.'s coast ) is cheapish, as are musseles and clams.
