I recently discovered that the Internet is gentrifying cottage cheese and it explains why it's so hard to find now even in rural ass North Carolina.

@Shelter Literally why we can't have nice things
Lobster - garbage of the sea that only poor people ate.
Suddenly -!!!
@Shelter Chicken wings. Used to be the part that rich folks didn't want. Could get 'em for 13¢/lb.
@Shelter Most of the best foods were created out of necessity. The ability to take cheap staples and turn them into truly flavorful things that people are happy to eat day-to-day is basic survival for the poor. Eventually the rich got a taste, realized that it was better than the "fine" stuff they were eating, and started paying attention to what the rest of us were eating.
@aspecurian @Shelter Brisket is in that category right?
I had a delicious Arby's Smokehouse for lunch.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Shelter Absolutely.
Barbecue is a great example of great food coming from "less desirable" ingredients. Tough cuts of meat? Cover it in spices and cook it slowly for a day or so.
