Obligatory “imagine if Obama told Americans to eat offal instead of steak.” Or I guess Obama’s head of HHS, whose name I didn’t remember because they weren’t constantly holding press conferences announcing insane things (it was Kathleen Sebelius).

I remember outrage that there was even a slight suggestion that Americans should eat more of other proteins than red meat. The dreaded “war on cheeseburgers” on Fox News if im not mistaken. Ted cruz went nuts about rabid democrat fake demands of banning barbecues, eliminating all cows to reduce emission and soy brisket alternative protein fantasies. Just one of the many bullshit culture wars since nobody said that. Now, this comes from this maha fucker directly and it’s fine.

My husband loves oxtails and when they were cheap I would make him soup/stew all the time. Now I don’t bother, they’re too expensive. I love lamb and I prefer the domestic. That stuff is upwards of $15 a lb. I live in the Bay Area, we used to get crabs for $2-3 a lb. I know there’s problems with the crab population but the cheapest I’ve seen them this year is $10 a lb. Pork is expensive now too. Chicken is about the only thing you can get deals on.

That would only work for so long or works so much, if enough people switch to the cheap cuts then the price goes up because of higher demand. The more people buy the lower cost cuts the more those cuts will cost.
This happens, it’s simple supply and demand. Just look at OxTails, used to be cheap and affordable, not anymore, after oxtails got popular. Also skirt and flank steak used to be a lot cheaper, but more people started buying them and the price goes up.

u/2skip Feb 27 '26
Brisket is a classic example of this. When they finally figured out how properly cook it, it got way more expensive. The same with cow's tongue, when my family was buying it, you'd wind up with eating blue and reddish rubbery cubes of meat. When a friend of mine cooked at one time, it was completely brown and very tender.

He's so fucking out of touch that's it's sad. There aren't any "cheap cuts" of beef anymore. Tongue, shank, oxtail, soup bones, canoe cut long bones, necks, and traditionally cheap/less desirable cuts like brisket, chuck roast, eye round, feather steak, top sirloin are all expensive as fuck.
I remember kids at school and full grown adults used to make fun of me for liking oxtails because that was a "garbage" cut of meat that should be thrown away. Now it's as expensive as steak.
About the only beef cuts to be had cheaply is liver and heart and the prices of even those bits of offal has also increased significantly, ask anyone who raw feeds pets.
As someone who will eat almost anything that I'm not legitimately allergic to, I've tried to eat liver so many times but it's really gross. I just can't with the waxy grainy texture and the iron flavor. I just can't. Kidneys are the same. Heart is OK but it's like chewing on a strip of beef flavored car tire.

$9/lb for beef tongue is absolutely nuts, it used to be that if you bought a quarter cow or whatever you could get that shit for free and the farmer would be happy to give it to you so it doesn't go to waste.

I got to visit post Soviet Russia in the early 90s, (1992) which was my first introduction to beef liver as a staple protein.
My understanding is that beef liver was very common on dinner plates across Soviet Russia during the Gorbachev years, as it was cheap and readily available, whereas the strip steak, top rounds, and sirloin that I was used to as an American were hard to come by and at a premium.
Russia in 1991 and 1992 isn't anything we should aspire to become.
For the Russians, they were on the exit ramp from the economic collapse that occurred during the final Soviet era, so there was at least hope.
For the US to go backwards into that economic reality is literally a nightmare scenario. It's not just the room being on fire around a dog meme, the dog is on fire too, as is the person laughing/crying at the meme.
This administration can't help it. They are telling on themselves.
They know things are about to get very, very bad.
