Even the cheapest Prosciutto is light-years ahead of whatever the fuck that Lunchables meat is made out of.

Only one country could think there is a similarity between lunchable and a charcuterie/cheese plate 😆

Pretty sure the ingredients of a $60 charcuterie board are way higher quality than the content of a pack of lunchables, though.

This just proves that highly processed food addiction turns the brain and taste receptors to useless trash.

I know people that are literally addicted to processed trash. They literally hate the taste of everything that is remotely natural.

don't do that chorizo like that it looks great

Original poster doesn't know a good deal on iberico ham when it slaps him in the face.

[–] Venator@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

to get a good deal you have to buy a whole leg, so it's more of a bludgeoning than a slap.

"Lunchables" made in France

[–] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 60 points 2 days ago (2 children)

...but with more variety and less processed ingredients and better taste and less calories and less sodium and less lead and-

[–] clockworkrat@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Better taste maybe, but fewer calories and salt than ... cheese and sausage?

I'm talking overall, including things like their crackers, and relative to weight, in terms of if you were to eat a similar amount of food off a charcuterie board.

Regardless, lunchables tend to have highly processed cheese and meat that has a lot of saturated fat, added sugars, and yes, a lot of added sodium. About 33% of your daily sodium in a tiny pack with 3 few millimeter thick slices of meat, 3 of the same of cheese, and 3 (small) crackers.

That same pack also contains 35% of your max total daily intake of saturated fat, in just 250 calories, which is over two and a half times the daily max recommended rate of saturated fat compared to calories.

I do think that lunchables tends to have lower fat content relative to other meats, like hard sausages, salami, or prosciutto, but a higher sodium content relative to them. The overall lunchables sets tend to have more calories than their respective weights in other foods often found on charcuterie boards.

And less plastic

i'm disappointed by the bread but that chorizo looks 🤌

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

like its being pointed at by a wanker (me)

[–] Foni@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)
  1. Those sausages look Spanish, not French; they're Castilian chorizo and Serrano ham.

  2. In some restaurants in Spain, for €60 you'd get something slightly larger, but not much more. You can find cheaper places, but the products are expensive, and if they're good quality, they don't give them away.

[–] Unimperfect@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Sorry, but nobody calls it Chorizo de Castilla, because there are two regions in Spain that start with Castilla (Castilla-la Mancha and Castilla Y León). Hence, queso manchego or Cecina de León. I would say that, by the looks of the pink color, the ham is probably a type of prosciutto crudo from Italy. The pepperoncini next it would not be served anywhere in Spain, but they are a staple in Italy, so I'm leaning towards an Italian influence, although the cheese on the right looks more French, but I can't say for certain.

Typically in Spain you'd get a ración, which is a single item on a plate (like jamón or chorizo ibérico). That way you only get what you ordered, and not extra filler items.

Also, I googled the image, and seems to be from a restaurant in Florida, so each item could be from a different country, and my whole argument is pointless.

Good points and that chorizo looks tasty as hell. But the French reference was referring to it being called a "charcuterie" board.

Processed cheese, ham and crackers in a little box.

It's an unholy testament to the hubris of man, and an affront to the very concepts of 'meat' and 'cheese' - but yes, also kinda cute ☺️

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

My new headcanon is now that this is what aliens say, as a meme, whenever they see a human do anything they don't understand.

What you call cute, I call the rape of the natural world.

They're having trouble lately containing their led levels. In a kids food.

And avoids dangerous expressions of intelligence later in life, which could threaten the integrity of the empire.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 14 points 2 days ago (6 children)

US-Americans and Canadians are weird for putting crackers instead of bread.
