Burger King launches £95 burger...

"ask £50 for a cup of coffee pre-digested by a Civet cat."

You pay to eat something that a cat has pre-digested? WTF!!!!!!!! sicko's....

About the burger. I'd rather have 100 single burgers thats a quid each at least you get what you pay for in quantity rather than quality. And the quality of a single pound burger aint too bad when ** hungry. That or make a 100 quid massive burger thats the size of a table where you can rip it to shreads and share it out like a pizza.

I think you've made a bit of a harsh generalisation there. I went to the square in london a few weeks ago and after having the a la carte menu (3 courses + about 3 amuse bouche's etc.) i was absolutely stuffed. I even had to turn down bread, and that's not like me! I can't say i've ever been to a top quality restaurant and came away hungry, even when doing tasting menu's consisting of a large number of small plates, in fact i usually get to the end barely able to get up out of my chair :D

Civet coffee may be loved by city nobs but it certainly is very good. It's another thing like Foie, Wagyu or truffle, it might well be expensive and loved by the rich but there is a reason for that!

Never been to a gourmet meal and been filled, even in america.
Civet coffee it may be very good but it's not worth the money, it's loved by the rich because its expensive. No coffee is worth 50 notes.
 
Eating meat is a such a weird business.

People think with the healthy benifets of cod (fish oil, protein, omega 3 etc.), that it is healthier than say lamb (just protein?). Fish eat anything - so you eat what they've eaten in a sense. Lambs are vegetarian and eat basically grass.

I remember talking to people from coastal towns in India near where the tsunami hit a few years back. They (being near the sea) have a tradition of eating fish, they had to give this up when they realised the fish their dinner contained had human fingers in their stomachs.

No, it's perfectly normally to eat meat.
A digestive system, breaks everything down. It no longer contains anything human. India eat prawns which are renowned for eating dead bodys in the river.

A digestive system doesn't break down everything. Even if you have a meat only diet - you'd still defecate.

I meant it's weird to think about eating meat in the sense of the example I gave above. The fish caught had only just eaten human fingers, and so when they started digging into them, they had something very recognisable and distinctly human on their plates. The human parts obviously hadn't been in the fish long enough for full digestion to occur.

I guess it's subjective too, prawns and crabs are scavengers so they'll eat anything. But I guess being smaller than the fish people are unlikely to find anything recogniseable (sic) in them :p

That nothing human would be on your plater and you wouldn't consume anything human. As the gut is discarded.

True - but I guess it's just the thought of eating something that's eaten parts of human. All in the mind, which is why it's kind of weird to think of eating meat.

Sorry if I'd been a bit unclear as said attention's not 100% atm.

I didn't say it was, i did say earlier that when i had it, it was no where near £50, i think it was £7.50, I think it's gone up dramatically over the past year for some reason.



Btw, how much do you normally eat? :p you must have a big appetite if you didn't get full in america, i went to one place and had a starter, main and then we had a "tasting" of desserts and after the rest of the table struggled after the 2nd-3rd even i was unable to finish off the last course!!
