    1. Fancy brioche buns, not normal burger buns. Brioche is typically the most expensive bread off the shelf.
    2. Fancy veggie burgers, of course they are expensive lol, that’s fancy vegan stuff
    3. Don’t pretend that is a Danish singular. That’s a huge fuckin Danish, that’s the equivalent of 4 Danishes easily lol

    I hate when people buy fancy bespoke food and are like “why do my gluten free vegan free range burgers cost so much?”

    If you want to be vegetarian/vegan, go buy normal vegis, don’t complain about your super fancy “takes a bunch of extra work and has very low demand” food being expensive.

        You can eat gluten-free, vegan, etc without eating like a hipster. That was @pixxelkick’s whole point. Actual hamburger patties are gluten-free.

      OP spent $19 to feed four people a veggie burger on a brioche bun, and a pretty good sized piece of cake in the shape of a Danish… Like half a square foot of the stuff.

      While not cheap overall, each person is eating for less than $5. And they’re eating better than you could taking that $5 to any rte food store.

      Not sure what the problem is here.

      You miss the point. Food should not even cost this much. Even crappier “normal” food costs too much yet is still unhealthy. And OP could have specific food needs, you don’t know. So why should he have to pay more for a basic need.
