What’s the appeal with gold coated food?

There’s like dishes covered in gold costing $200-$1500, which would probably cost no more than $40 without the gold. Why does people pay for this shit? Does gold taste any good or have huge health benefits? Or is it just rich normies wasting money wanting to show of?

Why do*

>Why does people pay for this shit?
Because they can.

To say they've ate/paid for gold in their food.

I too would like to shit gold at one point in my life.

For the same reason you got an iPhone

To shit post?

>Why does people pay for this shit?
To revel in the luxury of their lives, while laughing at uneducated plebs like you.

Gold has no flavor (that's why they use it to make false teeth) and zero nutritional value, so yeah, it's literally only for bragging rights.

noveau riche bait

gold leaf is like, .50 cents a sheet

Fools and their money etc etc

Because they're women and/or black.

Absolutely not.

Arabs then, a combination of the above two.

I like how the waiter gets a 100+ dollar tip for serving a single expensive burger

Lol

That's much more accurate. Arabs are the gaudiest people on the planet.

It is for outpricing poor people.

>Euro date format
>VAT tax #
>12.5% 'service fee'
That's fucking odd. Eurofags are always on here laughing at Americans for leaving a tip.

It's not even "gold" enough to warrant that price tag. It's just gold leaf. Jesus christ people are easy to rip off.

Well gold comes out the same way in your poop. I wonder if retards dig it out and try to save it afterwards

it an anti-oxidant. It also will protect you from solar radiation

because the secret of food is that cooking is cheap as shit and the only reason some of it is more expensive is due to manufactured scarcity
people used to treat pineapple as a delicacy because it was hard to adquire, now you can buy it fresh, frozen, in juice form and a whide variety of pineapple flavored foods
fish farmers and fishers could oversupply salmon to hell and it would be cheaper to buy than groundbeef but they dont

not truffle tho, Right?

it applies to everything, especially now with gmo getting better and better

Jelly green bubbles detected.

Gotta imagine that someone paying over 1k for a burger would have to know it wouldn't be worth it. That's about $2 worth of gold.

India: hey we may be starving and lack basic sanitation, but at least our food is shiny!

it's stupid as fuck. Gold doesn't even taste like anything

to make my dookies twinkle

It exists because Instagram basically

Not everything is manufactured user truffles actually can only grow wild so they are expensive because getting them is legit expensive. Things like caviar or trout roe are expensive because of law's around collecting too much to keep things sustainable. Also some things are legitimately rare like bershire hogs there are a hard to raise breed that aren't common among pig farmers so it makes sense they are pricer.
GMO has it's limits.
OP goldleaf is nothing but a show of money like tomahawk steaks you are paying for the bone and the presentation as opposed to actually something about the dish or flavor to justify the cost

>Not everything is manufactured
anything can be manufactured
>GMO has it's limits.
thats only a temporary problem

>anything can be manufactured
The only thing humans have ever successfully manufactured are mechanisms for destroying the only known living planet.
>GMO has it's limits. thats only a temporary problem
No, it's not temporary. Like every other mechanism of "progress" in terms of food production it's absolutely unsustainable and always will be by it's very definition.
>inb4 b-but muh life expectancy is 10 more years than it used to be
10 more years of life expectancy packed like sardines into a chemically toxic cesspool eating petroleum industrial chemical "food" type products straight out of hell is not progress.

>The only thing humans have ever successfully manufactured are mechanisms for destroying the only known living planet
the only thing being destroyed here are your testosterone levels
