Thread 21525261

Anyone else hate that they have expensive taste, and spend way more at the market?

>buy 2 upper-middle class tier products to larp as a high-society faggot
once again, OP is a faggot

>>21525261 (OP)
rummo makes crap pasta

>>21525261 (OP)
lol what a fucking clown

at least post a vintage wine or something if you want to humblebrag here. (You'd still be a cunt, as opposed to a retarded poorfag cunt)

Raos is decent but stupidly overpriced. That pasta isn't very good. Unless it's fresh pasta barilla etc will come out the same

>>21525267
they aren't even upper middle class products. that would be like foie gras or some imported mont d'Or. raos is laughably lower middle class product marketed as a luxurious item

>>21525261 (OP)
You shop at a grocery store. You don’t have expensive shit.

>>21525273
Its not crap at all youre a moron who probably eats barilla

>>21525301
>upper middle
>foie gras
lol

>homemade jarred sauce

>buy store brand pasta sauce
>cook it down properly
>tastes better than overpriced every single fucking time
why does it seem like i'm the only anon that knows how to cook?

I mill and sift my own pasta flours and jar my own sauces. If I owned my own farm, I would make cheeses. I pay pennies a serving. It tastes fantastic for small effort. You pay a lot because you are lazy.

>>21525261 (OP)
>Raos
Most overrated shit ever. I buy a store brand sauce that tastes better than this for half the price.
>Rummo
This is considered and expensive brand? It's in the bargain bin half the time. DeCecco is way better for box pasta.

for me? it's Martelli, simple as

I gave up Coke when it went over $2 per bottle. Now it is $4 per bottle and I don't even have to think about it.
Never want to go through the kind of pain withdrawal was ever again.

>>21525301
Given 60% of the population is not employed. Middle class is 'has food at all'.

>>21525261 (OP)
This costs no more than $6

>>21525404
Raos sauce is almost $9 now

>>21525405
Where the hell do you live

>>21525261 (OP)
>expensive taste
lol
you buy store-bought pasta sauce. you're a basic, lazy piece of shit. Rummo is 1.49€/500g, it's good pasta but that is not expensive. at least you don't buy Barilla

What's wrong with Barilla?

>>21525454
Same quality as store brand for a higher price. Sometimes it's cheaper on sale, though.

The unemployment rate is 4%. It's been like that since 2012. There is no unemployment. You're a complete failure.

If you look at price per serving grocery stores are actually more expensive. They all offer the same shit tier garbage at elevated prices, while quality stores charge more for far better produce.
>>21525323
Is a really good example. You'll find garbage foie gras in any supermarket around Christmas, while the superior product costs slightly more.

>>21525261 (OP)
it's insultingly easy to make your own sauce that will always be better than jarred stuff

>>21525454
Barilla (blue) is the lowest quality pasta there is, like the other guy said it's not better than store brand but it's significantly worse than 'premium' store brand, yet still more expensive. you only pay more so they can spend a couple hundred millions on marketing. Barilla (red packaging, only 400g) is mediocre pasta that is hilariously overpriced because it's not as good as decent brands like DeCecco, Garofalo or Rummo but they charge you more for worse pasta because they pay millions for ads. it's just like McDonald's

>>21525261 (OP)
literal placebo effect. make your own red sauce pleb

>>21525465
>>21525516
Well shit.
Will have to do a taste test this week.

>>21525261 (OP)
raos belongs to campbells now & they have watered down the recipe.

>>21525266
my thoughts exactly, get your campbell's crap out of here, might as well crack open a can of tomato soup over that pasta

>>21525261 (OP)
>buying jarred sauce
>expensive taste

>>21525635
Raos makes better sauce than you can

>>21525723
No, Campbell's can't, and their tomato soup sucks ass.

>>21525529
You don't have to test anything because you don't even know how to cook pasta. You don't know what emulsion means, you don't know what pasta water does, you don't know what starch does, you don't know shit about pasta otherwise you wouldn't even consider Barilla. Come back in a few days and tell us how there was absolutely no difference

>>21525723
even if you weren't using sauce from a jar i still can't take anyone using conchiglie in arrabiata opinion's seriously.

>>21525786
It’s juts a spicy sauce you can use it with any pasta jackoff

>>21525281
Sure. Here.
$11k pasta bowl.
>>21525300
How can it be that good? Is my tomato sauce with spices simmered really not as good as Raos? I have never tried it. Do I really have to but 2 jars from costco? Fuck.
Also, I hope it isnt good so I dont have to keep buying premade sauce like a noob.

>>21525723
Is this true? I have never tried Raos. Is it just hype like dubai chocolate from poor fags?

>>21525799
just because you CAN use it with any pasta doesn't mean you should

>>21525808
>Is it just hype from poor fags?
yes

>>21525813
Like seriously. How can a tomato sauce be THAT good? I have been making my own simmered sauce from canned crushed tomatoes for years now.
I will buy 2 bottles from Costco next time. I hope its not that good that I cant go back to eating homemade.

>>21525411
$6 in Chicago even with our taxes, at Aldi's.

But I'm the guy in Chicago with the Komo mill/sifter and a shite ton of Ball jars. So I roll my own. I've eaten at Rao's back in the day, as a guest, and the restaurant was special and the the food delicious. Only slightly better than Gene & Georgetti back in the 90's, I sat near Dan Rostenkowski and pols when he was released from prison, and their pasta and sauces set the standard as did their meats.

Alas ... (nothing persists except the Parasites)

>>21525816
don't, you're better off using the money to buy a tomato mill and making your own sauce from crushed fresh tomatoes

>>21525826
Tomatoe mill. Lmfao. Yeah no. I just buy canned crushed tomatoes.
For 6 bucks a bottle, I can buy like 3 cans.

>>21525826
Store bought crushed or peeled tomatoes are generally superior unless you grow your own tomatoes, in which instance nothing beats properly grown, maintained (electric toothbrush agitating tomato hairs 20 hz, minerals), and harvested tomatoes.

Do buy an electric Komo grain mill with power sifter. If you enjoy pastas and baked goids, you won't regret it. Pleasant Hill Grain, I highly rec as a non-affiliated customer. 0.02

>>21525833
You can buy 3 cans of shit tomatoes and convince yourself the resulting sauce is better than Rao's, but it objectively won't be.

>>21525837
I simmer it with herbs and garlic and butter and olive oil though.

>>21525835
The canned tomatoes are convenient.

>>21525761
>because you don't even know how to cook pasta
Boil for about 9 minutes lol.

>>21525876
The bag says cook for 12 to make it authentic

Hey guys whats better Rao's or Cento?

>>21525808
They're good for a jarred sauce if you don't have the time or skill to just make your own. Definitely not worth the price

>>21525761
pasta water doesn't even do shit
real restaurants use corn starch slurry

>>21526263
So it’s a legit good sauce your just too cheap to buy it, got it.

>>21526280
I wouldn't pay 8 bucks for a bottle of water either even if I had the money. It's retard tax

>>21526259
Cento

>>21526263
I do have time and skill though but this Raos is getting talked up like mad. Never tried it.

>>21526363
You talk like a fag. I wish you had less time on your hands by killing yourself.

>>21526259
cento but just buy their tinned tomatoes and make the sauce yourself, really not that hard.

>>21525833
yeah that's fine too, better than jarred sauce

I'm not a retard OP.

>>21526363
Like I said it's good for what it is. Jarred sauce.

>>21525301
Lol I couldn't dream of affording Rao's. I can get 6 great value cans for 1 Rao's.

>>21525261 (OP)
I feel this way about fruit, I love it and can eat a ton but it’s hard not to think of the money I’m eating (for example 1 cup of blueberries is $1, and some days I’ll have 7 cups)

Also OP make sure you’re getting your Rao’s at Costco when they have them on sale. And you can send in a quality complaint and maybe some coupons for free jars.

people can make sauce as good as rao's by just adding sugar to the canned tomato sauces to neutralize the acidity and a little salt, granulated garlic, fennel seeds, oregano to taste.
but the sugar is the secret because it doesn't sweeten it just makes the tomato sauce milder and subtler which is why people think rao's is so much better. its not, its just milder than canned but you can fix that.
understand that the reason san marzano tomatoes are considered so good is just because they're naturally sweet/have a higher sugar content

Prego meat sauce rules.

>>21526591
mmm microplastics

>>21525273
To be fair, he bought fucking pasta sauce instead of making it so he's clearly special needs.

>>21526504
What type of complaint?
