[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9394016, member: 85555"] But people with money are just being snobbish and trying to gate keep meat eating there. Plenty of people who like meat go for filet mignon. Yes it isn't as strong tasting as some other cuts, but that is not the point (and flavor can be introduced through a variety of ways). I feel like this is something that people have just started saying because of the proliferation of 'chef culture' from places like the food network and people like Anthony Bourdain. If people don't like filet mignon, that is fair. But I think it is bit silly that it has become this thing where a once highly prized and values cut of meat, which is so tender and delicious, has had the cultural bar on it moved as more people got access to it. This isn't directed at you [USER=18626]@Snarf[/USER] as I know you are not a snob, but there is a lot of class snobbery around the way people talk about these kinds of cuts of meat today. It is sort of presented as the expensive cut of meat that only the rubes fall for. Nothing wrong with wanting to pay more for an extraordinarily tender cut of meat (and frankly I think a lot of the more flavorful meats, don't taste that good: I can't stand rib eye, and will tend to go for either a new york strip, prime rib or fillet mignon) [/QUOTE]
