I can't help feeling a similar way, a small group of wealthy people eating an obscure, traditional food is an easier target and makes for a much better story than addressing the elephant in the room that is mainstream factory farming.
- realusername 7y agoIt's very far from a "luxury" or "wealthy" item in France, it's something most families will have on their table at Christmas. I don't know where this false luxury stereotype comes from.
- jamil7 7y agoRight, well I guess I meant in the context of french restaurants in NYC.
- benhurmarcel 7y agoThat's true but then even in France it's not something cheap. It's exceptional and as you said, basically something you have once or twice a year.
- saiya-jin 7y agoWell its a rather expensive item in the shops. Affordable still, but paying 15-30 euros for a small box brings it into affordable luxury category IMHO. Its more expensive than exquisite french/italian cheeses with black truffles for example. Same would go for ie Moet champagne, one can afford it but you definitely notice the price.
