    Expensive burgers are like expensive pizzas, absolute waste of money.

    It’s a snack food that’s easy to make and other than the meat right now, cheap as shit.

    You can probably make it better at home for a fraction of the price

    • I don’t know if I agree with the pizza part. The difference between a $5 pizza and a $20-40 pizza is insane. However, I do agree making it yourself is definitely cheaper and just as good (if not better because you’re making it for yourself).

      I agree with the connection you’re making with the analogy, regardless. Burger is burger.

      it’s a snack food

      If your point is that a food being unhealthy means it’s unworthy of having effort put in to make a high quality dish then I have to disagree lol

      You need a 400 degrees (or so) oven to make good quality pizzas. Don’t tell me you can fit one of these into your flat.

        You misunderstand my comment. I’m saying go out for a pizza but there’s no need to buy a 40$ pizza when it’s basically the same as a 20$, since they both cost 5$ to make.

        Pizza and burgers are ridiculously simple and there’s not much variation in ingredients. Certainly not enough to justify a 100% price difference.

          Where I live, the pizzas go from €10 (cheap) to €20 (expensive)

          The €20 ones use dough imported from Italy, whereas the €10 ones definetly taste cheaper.

          I cannot speak for burgers, but pizzas definetly do have range where I live - and I’m considering getting a nice quality oven at some point, to make the €20 types myself

            I’m sorry, but importing dough from Italy instead of making it fresh locally, sounds either like a scam to charge more or just an inept pizza maker…
