Some people “think”/believe food tastes better if it is expensive, they are pretty shallow, because their perception changes on how food tasted based on how much it cost. It is all perception not reality.
I don’t know if you have seen the movie the 1990 movie The Freshman with Marlon Brando, Matthew Broderick, and Penelope Ann Miller (I liked her in the picture).
The plot is about a Don Corleone/Godfather type that has an underground gourmet club, offering exotic and endangered animals as specialty food items, like a Komodo dragon, charging hundred of thousands of dollars for the privileged of eating one the last of the species.
But they just cook regular chicken or pork, it is just way to scam snobs, I am sure you know the type we are talking about...
