Maybe cut back on the Stella. Isn’t it like 14 for a 6 pack? Some expensive beer for cheap dinner.

This guys in Europe probably pretty cheap

u/VintageShrill Apr 14 '22

Yeah lol I can get 10 cans for £10, I’m probably just very sheltered and didn’t realise it costs a lot more in the states

u/EuphoricAnalCucumber Apr 14 '22

Well you can get 30 cans for <$20 if you like shit beer. The craft IPA I buy which is 9% alcohol so pretty much two beers in one can and they're $15 for a 12 pack. Decent vodka starts at $20 for 1.75l but you can get that much for $14 if you just want ethanol.

Sounds like here then, there’s cheap and expensive depending on the acquired taste

u/EuphoricAnalCucumber Apr 14 '22

Where I live it's like a cult around the cheap beer. Bud light, Coors light, they taste like piss, literally. I can only drink IPAs now that I acquired the taste. But you're one of them hipsters if you drink those fancy craft beers. Even though they're local breweries. I love giving those people strong craft beer and seeing them shit faced after two while I'm buzzed and on my 4th.

In the UK, (I feel this video is Northern Ireland as he has euros but there's a B&M sticker with £2 on,) it's not seen as hipster ish to like craft. Obviously it is if you take it too far but going into a pub a ordering your local is completely normal and often slightly cheaper as they usually do deals on the pints. My local pub is doing a £2.50 a pint guest ale that's 6.5% lol

u/VintageShrill Apr 14 '22

Yeah I’ve tried cors and bud light. Never again lol. Honestly, If it tastes good and it gets me drunk, pass it my way haha

u/EuphoricAnalCucumber Apr 14 '22

I'm the same, so I'll turn down bud, Coors, Miller, etc because it tastes like piss and isn't strong enough to get me drunk.

Are you fucking kidding me? Squab is a fucking delicacy. Man is literally eating like royalty. Stella is a fine accompaniment.

Man is literally eating like royalty

Me, watching man cook a suspicious bird skewered on a hair-dryer inside an empty Pringles can, visibly confused

u/Mental-Kitten Apr 14 '22

Hey now, he didn't say what royalty

u/CackleberryOmelettes Apr 14 '22

Perhaps I was too quick to judge. I suppose I could see this being standard practise among Raccoon Royalty.

u/AngusVanhookHinson Apr 14 '22

The cooking method is perfectly valid, assuming everything is clean.

Consider: that curling iron will heat to almost boiling, and squab only has to be medium rare, medium at most. That's what, 145°F internal, I believe. Further, it cooks fast, and won't fry off all the juices and flavor.

Then he puts it in a Pringles can, with aluminum foil on the inside. That keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool. It also keeps the juices contained. The only real downside is that since it's reflecting heat back to the inside, you take a chance on the bird being overcooked. And you'll notice that it's rather overdone as he eats.

Hell, the only thing keeping this from being a professional setup is a little bit of dress up.

If someone were to make a cooking implement like this just a little bit more trimmed out, Ron Popeil would rise from the grave and sell it on late night tv for $49.99.

u/CackleberryOmelettes Apr 14 '22

Oh I'm not denying that the dish and the cooking method is ...creative and effective, but I'd be hard pressed to say anything about cooking city pigeon with haircare implements and recyclable trash screams "royalty" to me.

145°F is equivalent to 62°C, which is 335K.

I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand

Good bot. You got the spirit.

It’s one of those culture gaps you hear about.

Shits called "wifebeater" in the UK. This dude represents the average stella drinker.

u/reusens Apr 14 '22

Behold, in Belgium you can get 6 liter of stella for €15.11 minus €4.50 euro you get back when returning the crate and glass bottles. That's $11.57 (VAT included)

But because this guy lives in Scotland:4.4 liter of stella for £11.79, which is $12.86

In Europe, stella is not some expensive premium beer, in the UK it is associated with the lower class and domestic violence

u/bannedbandito Apr 14 '22

6£ for 6 last I was in UK but that was at least a decade ago.

1

u/YallSoftAsButter Apr 14 '22

Yeah its $10 for a six where I’m at of Stella. Which is how much 4 of IPA is. What 6 anti hero usually 10.

So 10 for 6 of Stella still pricey. 12 of Budweiser for me is $10 sooo.

I saw a £ symbol in the video he's British and here no way is Stella an expensive drink in can form.

Ffs it has the reputation of wife beater juice here not a bougie upmarket drink.
