Remember when wings were considered garbage and you could buy huge trays of them for a couple of bucks...

You can eat all of those. It's not a contest

how many more faggots are going to repeat this

just wondering

>Skirt Steak is 11.25/lb at my supermarket

Le supply and demand xD

stay mad fuckboi

>wings
>with no sauce or seasoning

You dip them in hot sauce, newfag.

But then you'll have to dip them twice because of the ranch.

So you're going to call people faggots for having a valid explanation that you can't refute?

Ok. .

Buy leg quarters, loser. They're fifty cents a pound.

>friends drag me into Buffalo Wild Wings for boneless wings night
>I get hot "boneless wings" because I'm poor
>sauce is some shitty paste that came straight from a bottle
>"wings" are just chicken nuggets with shitty breaking that falls off

Wtf is wrong with people and wings.

it was probably white meat, too, right?

You got chicken nuggets not wings dumbass.

I never got it, either.

Wings don't taste good on their own, so you always have to dip it into some HFCS bullshit in order to make it edible.

People are paying $10+ dollars for Ranch dressing, essentially.

Not as delectable.

Only plebs dip their wings in ranch. And not all wings have to be buffalo/hot wings.

Have you never ordered Chinese takeout? Some places give you wings instead of an egg roll. I've even been given both before.

Yes, I know that, twat.

the Asian wings I've had around my town are really good. They're always the perfect amount of crisp.

>I know that, twat

Then why are you mad at the restaurant for giving you what you ordered? Next time, order wings.

>boneless wing sale night
>get boneless wings
>get chicken nuggets instead

You are dense.

I make wings at home in the UK, get 10 wings (makes 20 buffalo "wings" when you cut em in half) for about £1.50

that's, what, $3?

>boneless wings

what do you think these are?

I still wouldn't want to live in the UK, though.

Wings without a bone in them, as the name implies

>implying I go to Buffalo Wild Wings ever

No, no. They're called wings, so they have to be wings. They're wings, not nuggets. Wings. It's in the name.

Do you really think they debone all those wings?

No, user. You are the stupid.

I'm sorry for offending you guys who still enjoy ordering tendies at restaurants

Wings are tendies. They're just not battered and fried.

>liking plain """"""""""wings""""""""""""

LMAO white boi cant handle a little spice :^)

I dip them in hot sauce, faggot.

Which makes them not tendies.

BWW is a pretty big rip off when I could go to a real bar pay maybe the same price and get a much much better meal

Also idk about their sauce but I learned somthing really interesting when I worked at a wing street.

The hot sauce at most chain wing places contain synthesized capsaicin because it's much cheaper than using really peppers. However synthesized capsaicin is just hot there is a lot of heat with little taste or spice to it that's why a lot of those wings have a chemical kind of taste and heat to them

wings a shit

Grilled tendies are still tendies.

Alternatively: more tendy than wing.

It's just a greasy comfort food

>dip
marinading them in sauce too hot for you, white boi?

God I hate eating wings. There's barely any meat on them and you have to munch on them like a savage to get to it. Then for your measly 1.5 mouthfuls of chicken you now have sauce and grease all over your face and fingers.

Fuck. That. Shit.

If you buy non shit-tier wings there's a fuckload of meat on them.

Comfort food is such a fucking stupid idea. Oh boy I sure do feel better once I stuff myself with grease and macaroni and cheese but oh wait my comfort food is two whole pizza slurp belch smack smack

If you seriously consider "comfort food" a real thing and not just an excuse to eat shit then you need to kill yourself.

so how much does it cost if you make the same meal with thighs?

Thighs just aren't the same and you know it dude

This happens all the time. Someone figures out how to make something particularly delicious out of a cheap ingredient, it becomes popular and the cost of that ingredient goes up. It happened with chicken wings the same way it happened with oxtails, beef short ribs, pork belly and skirt steak.

Comfort food can be anything you autist.

My comfort food is clear chicken soup.

There is a fancy ramen place here in Nashville too. $12 a bowl.

thighs are kinda good, I could see some garlic making great thighs. what do you think?

I fucking swear! It's bad enough the overall price of food is going up, but the price of inexpensive cuts has been skyrocketing. Even organ meats are expensive now!

anyway bolonge our rice tonight, our both?

our egg sandwich, our peanut butter, pudding, carrot cake, what it gonna be?

Please stop.

>Order chicken nuggets
>Surprised when you get chicken nuggets

Plus the phrase 'comes from a bottle means nothing.' They make their own sauces then bottle them yes. That doesn't change the taste.

This is why I tell people that wings are pleb tier food. If enough people listen, demand will decrease and that means more wings for me.

Lobster isn't trendy anymore.

Ramen is trash because it is processed food, real patricians won't ever eat that.
However, ramen is based on actual Asian food.

>eating pork

I wish your comfort food was a bullet so you'd take your stupid shit to hell with you.

yes it does.

They add preservatives.

the thing about stupid people, is they believe they're smart.

> 2016
> Eating Wings (or in the boneless case "Wyngz")
> Not eating Hot Chicken

Fucking Plebs

Hot sauce is usually made with a lot of salt and vinegar, requiring no additional preservatives.

Unless you think vinegar and salt are bad for some reason.

That's because all the really good cuts are so expensive that people who actually cook are willing to bother with the lesser cuts. To be fair, it only seems expensive to us because we're used to our food being ridiculously cheap in the first place. Meat has gotten more expensive over the last decade or so, but it's much cheaper in the US than the rest of the developed world. Just eat less of it, like the rest of the world does.

>he's never heard of poulet de bresse or label anglaise

real chicken isn't that shit you find in the supermarket

this

>real chicken isn't that shit you find in the supermarket
Not everyone shops at Wal-Mart in Middle America bro.

>never having Old Bay wings

>overpriced fancy chickens raised free range for a few months then fattened on corn

lol big fucking deal.

I eat birds that I shoot and lived their entire lives free and on wild foods.

>Old Bay
He said seasoning.

>Old Bay
>not seasoning

> Using, associating, or posting about ranch

Absolutely pleb

>Just eat less of it, like the rest of the world does.
I already did, so it still jacks up my food bill. But I also think a little protein should be in each meal instead of breakfast and snacks being almost entirely carbohydrates. People are fucking nuts for sugar.

I agree completely, but at a certain point I decided beans and nuts (and canned fish) were a better value than having expensive meat all the time. Cut my grocery bill way down, and with all the money I save eating beans all the time I can go out to nice places when I feel like having some meat.

>old bay
>a seasoning

Where the fuck do you live that quarters are 50c/lb? Lowest I can find is $2/lb

Not him, but here in Philamuhdelphia, they're $1/lb regular price and 49¢/lb when on sale. I've seen them drop as low as 39¢/lb, too. This is for fresh, mind you. Frozen ones go as low as 28¢/lb, sold in 10lb bags for $2.79. Sure, they're pumped with saltwater, but even if the injection makes up half their weight (impossible, but still), they'd be only 56¢/lb, anyway, which is still a remarkably good deal.

I make homemade stock. Why buy chicken bones ranging in price from 99¢/lb to $youareaskinghowfuckingmuchforsomebones? when you can just get a 10lb bag of frozen leg quarters and get some meat out of it, as well?

Speaking of bags of frozen chicken, Supreme/Thriftway/Shop'n'Bag is a local ghetto-chain that's surprisingly respectable. Everything is of shockingly good quality despite the stores being typically in the worst areas of the city (except for one in University City, surrounded by half-million dollar properties). They even carry a variety of import goods that other supermarkets don't carry, like merguez imported from France and chestnut flour imported from Italy due to African immigrants eating those products. The only problem I have with Supreme is that they haven't updated any of their stores since the 1970s, so walking into one is like stepping back in time.

Anyway, they sell frozen 3lb bags of wings for $5. Fresh wings vary from $1.99-$2.99/lb here unless you go to one of the stupid-people stores. Those stores are called 'Acme' and, increasingly, 'Giant.' At those places, the prices are just about double normal price.
On sale, wings routinely dip to $1.49/lb and on manager's special, I've gotten wings for as little as $1/lb.
I don't know how much crinkle cut fries are but I'd bet that for $6, you can still make yourself a wings-and-fries dinner here.

Also
>pork necks
you black or southern? Don't nobody eat no damn pork necks unless they gots some connection to the south.

>Don't nobody eat no damn pork necks unless they gots some connection to the south.
I knew a couple old Italian immigrant ladies who used them (fresh, not smoked) to make red sauce in a pressure cooker. Pretty fucking good.

You can eat all of those. It's not a contrast

You can eat all of those. It's not a contract

...

The south's the south. The country don't matter.

i'd rather buy a whole chicken desu

I live in Center City Philadelphia, what the fuck

But Lobster has been this overly priced meme food for years and years, when does it end? I just want some tasty ass saucey chicken without feeling like I'm breaking my budget.

Having a bad day, user?

Stop shopping at Whole Foods, Acme, Sue's, Reading Terminal and Di Bruno's then.

Chinatown sells leg quarters varying between $1.29-$1.99/lb depending on the store. I forget which ones are cheaper as I've not lived in Chinatown or CC in forever. Pitiably, Meldy's is no longer in business (since the Gallery closed), because they had super cheap prices.

If you drive, make your way down to Washington avenue to Save-a-Lot for the cheap 10lb bag of leg quarters. If you don't do frozen, they're selling fresh leg quarters right now for 79¢/lb.
If you don't drive, take the train up to... I wanna say... Girard? Maybe Berks... whichever's nearest to Master and get over to Cousin's for cheap, fresh chicken. They vary from 39¢/lb-89¢/lb, depending on variables I don't quite understand.

Scratch that: Cousin's is on Berks, not Master. 5th and Berks.

I buy like 4 lbs (about a dozen) from the Piggly Wiggly and like 4 of those fuckers will fill me up.

>he eats to be healthy
I bet you're gay too.

Here in Spain there are at 4,99€/Kg, or 12,50$/lb. Even though that we eat a lot of pic related, we don't have famous dishes around it in recent years. That price increase from 3$/lb to today must be for a different reason.

Go fuck yourself communist, Trump will solve this when he expels the foreigners

No car and live in Chinatown. Cheapest (non-shitty) chicken I can find in there is either drums for $1/lb or boneless skinless thighs for $2.19 daily (usually get that). Do most of my shopping at Reading out of necessity and quality of ingredients. I'll check out Cousin's though, I'll avoid getting stabbed.

Thanks family.

Any other Philly tips? Lived here for 2 years and I'm a student so I don't get to try stuff that much.
