Quite a lot was actually planted, and is coming ready to harvest in
July/August - but the silos where it would be stored are still full of
last season\'s wheat that has not yet been shipped out or stolen - so a
large part of this season\'s harvest is likely to be left in the fields.

I think we are in the same country. As you worry about refugee wave from south of the border, which would cost us even more money. A little bit of spending, in guarding shipping lanes, would help starving people who might stay in their own countries if they have food.

Putin\'s goal is to starve people in poor countries; so they will migrate and cause instability in developed countries.

You fail to appreciate that the $3 loaf of bread only has about $0.10
worth of wheat in it. The rest is petro-chemicals, and everything
petro has gone up.

They would be doing you a favor to price it out of reach. Then
perhaps you can buy bread that actually has food in it in more than a
token amount.
Killer Dave\'s Bread is close to the same price as Dope\'s Walmart bread,
when bought in twin packs at Costco. Organic.

Dope\'s \"regular\" loaves will be Glyphosate treated.
We are arguing whether we need to spend $3 to buy bread. Meanwhile, hundred of millions people are wondering if they can buy $0.10 wheat at all. Taking out 20 million tons of wheat this year (rioting) and next year (not planting) will starve hundred of millions. NATO should be in western part of Black Sea now.

Bread here is great! Pan de Agua, basic flour, water and yeast with some salt I believe. A Puerto Rico bread company supplies Walmart with their bread for the mainland! I don\'t recall the name, but it is in a long paper bag and they get it fresh daily. I was in a store here that had it in a warmer at the check out, like the rotisserie chickens!

A loaf of bread is a lot of food for $3.35

We pay $12 for good sourdough.



The real hikes have been in stuff like red meat. I don\'t eat much red
meat but when I do I\'m determined to have quality, not ground beef fast
food shit.

There\'s still some good deals to be had on quality around here though
but one has to hunt - even just move packages around in the cooler. I
got 3/4 pound chuck eye steak for $3.79 the other day.

People get scared off by the word \"chuck\" in it maybe but the chuck eye
is more like a less-presentable ribeye than beef chuck. And it\'s usually
just as delicious as a ribeye.

Incidentally, Walmart almost never has good deals on steak around here,
usually seriously disappointing & overpriced. the local grocery chains
tend to beat them hands-down.

There\'s no reason to eat cheap beef. The good stuff is $27 a pound,
and worth it.

We can get pretty good burger meat for $8.



Hmpf. I don\'t own a condo and a paid-off car at this point in my life by
paying $27/lb for steaks, man.

OK, stay away from restaurants.

I don\'t often go to steakhouses. Around here you\'d pay $27 at a
restaurant for the same steak from a supermarket you can make at home. A
steak worth going out for means going to Mooo or Ruth Chris or
something, here\'s Mooo\'s menu:

<https://mooorestaurant.com/menus>

A 24 oz porterhouse is going to be $98.

A really good 1/3 lb filet once a month is worth it. I soak mine in
Soy Vey teriyaki and bbq scorched+rare on my tiny gas grill.

I tend to have a steak at breakfast more often than dinner, and rarely
marinate \'em for that. Just leave it out for about 15 min before
cooking, grind some salt & pepper on both sides, then sear in extra
light olive over high heat on the stovetop (I use a ceramic-surface
skillet) with garlic & butter. EZ

The Brat makes fun of my tiny grill, but she sure eats the results.

Cheap supermarket beef mostly tastes like cardboard. You can generally
get pretty good chicken and sometimes fish and shrimp.

As I say, you can hunt around at a supermarket cooler for cuts of meat
that have the combination of low price & good taste, you use your eyes
and look at the meat and that\'s often a good guide to how it\'ll taste!

A dedicated butcher shop is best but unfortunately in suburbia there
aren\'t many of those around, anymore. A few supermarkets still do their
own cutting, but it\'s rare.

In any case when at a supermarket instead of a butcher shop I tend to
walk away more often than not from the steaks as I don\'t see anything
that looks good for the price.

Really good salmon and black cod and such can be expensive too, and
worth it.

Now, in New England fish and seafood is the thing there\'s no good reason
to go to a supermarket for..

Guess you didn\'t get the memo, but the world\'s oceans are a toilet. Anyone who eats shellfish or bottom feeder fish, like catfish, is behind the times. No telling the equivalent of how many tampons or pampers you\'ve ingested by now.
I hear there are feasts to be had in the dumpsters behind the better restaurants. Check it out.

In the Philippines the urban poor have been eating pagpag for a long time now. It is processed and sold by street food vendors. Obama tried to reduce employment there by pressuring corporations to move call centers back to the U.S. Then the hypocrite pretended he was so humanitarian by giving military aid to Ukraine. Wasn\'t that convenient for his Wall Street buddies. Places like Philippines have absolutely no safety nets for their people when they lose income.

Because one notices the price of bread radically increasing, therefore one

get pretty good chicken and sometimes fish and shrimp.

As I say, you can hunt around at a supermarket cooler for cuts of meat
that have the combination of low price & good taste, you use your eyes
and look at the meat and that\'s often a good guide to how it\'ll taste!

A dedicated butcher shop is best but unfortunately in suburbia there
aren\'t many of those around, anymore. A few supermarkets still do their
own cutting, but it\'s rare.

In any case when at a supermarket instead of a butcher shop I tend to
walk away more often than not from the steaks as I don\'t see anything
that looks good for the price.

Really good salmon and black cod and such can be expensive too, and
worth it.

Now, in New England fish and seafood is the thing there\'s no good reason
to go to a supermarket for..

We have a lot of boutique, expensive markets around here. Canyon
Market, Gus\'s, Good Life. Molly Stones has great steaks and they will
slice a chunk of prime fillet to your size. We shop the little stores
for a few expensive things and go to Safeway for the bulk stuff.

The farmers\' markets have really good farm-fresh cheap produce. Ours
has a lot of really scary-looking asian veggies.

Really good steak or fish or crab is worth it occasionally.

When I was a kid in New Orleans, we ate a lot of shrimp and oysters
because they were cheaper than beef. Mo grew up on the coast south of
Boston, so they ate clams and lobster because they were cheap.

Hopefully that\'s not a trend, or things will get REALLY bad very
quickly.

Because the basic ingredient (wheat) to make bread can not be shipped
out of Ukraine. Time for NATO to open up the shipping lane. We are
already in food world war.

A loaf of bread is a lot of food for $3.35

We pay $12 for good sourdough.



The real hikes have been in stuff like red meat. I don\'t eat much red
meat but when I do I\'m determined to have quality, not ground beef fast
food shit.

There\'s still some good deals to be had on quality around here though
but one has to hunt - even just move packages around in the cooler. I
got 3/4 pound chuck eye steak for $3.79 the other day.

People get scared off by the word \"chuck\" in it maybe but the chuck eye
is more like a less-presentable ribeye than beef chuck. And it\'s usually
just as delicious as a ribeye.

Incidentally, Walmart almost never has good deals on steak around here,
usually seriously disappointing & overpriced. the local grocery chains
tend to beat them hands-down.

There\'s no reason to eat cheap beef. The good stuff is $27 a pound,
and worth it.

We can get pretty good burger meat for $8.



Hmpf. I don\'t own a condo and a paid-off car at this point in my life by
paying $27/lb for steaks, man.

OK, stay away from restaurants.

I don\'t often go to steakhouses. Around here you\'d pay $27 at a
restaurant for the same steak from a supermarket you can make at home. A
steak worth going out for means going to Mooo or Ruth Chris or
something, here\'s Mooo\'s menu:

A 24 oz porterhouse is going to be $98.

A really good 1/3 lb filet once a month is worth it. I soak mine in
Soy Vey teriyaki and bbq scorched+rare on my tiny gas grill.

I tend to have a steak at breakfast more often than dinner, and rarely
marinate \'em for that. Just leave it out for about 15 min before
cooking, grind some salt & pepper on both sides, then sear in extra
light olive over high heat on the stovetop (I use a ceramic-surface
skillet) with garlic & butter. EZ

Guess you didn\'t get the memo, but the world\'s oceans are a toilet. Anyone who eats shellfish or bottom feeder fish, like catfish, is behind the times. No telling the equivalent of how many tampons or pampers you\'ve ingested by now.
I hear there are feasts to be had in the dumpsters behind the better restaurants. Check it out.

What\'s really disgusting is that some vegetables grow in dirt that has
*manure* in it!
