Chicken prices at U.S. grocery stores have hit record highs and should stay elevated as Tyson Foods and other companies dial back poultry production to boost margins while inflation-weary shoppers buy chicken instead of beef and pork.

Higher chicken prices should improve earnings at top producers Tyson (TSN.N) and Pilgrim's Pride (PPC.O), but will pinch consumers' pockets as they try to save money by turning away from higher-end proteins. One index shows chicken producer profit margins at their highest in a year.

U.S. consumption of chicken is expected to exceed 100 pounds per person this year for the first time ever, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows.

Beef consumption is forecast to drop to its lowest since 2018, as prices climb due to dwindling cattle supplies. Meanwhile, consumer spending cuts have knocked pork consumption to the lowest since 2015.

Arkansas-based Tyson, which sells all three types of meat, had to deal with a glut of chicken after earning massive profits when meat prices soared during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The most expensive ingredient in my falafel burgers is the cardamom. Small price to pay considering how dirt cheap all the other ingredients are and that they're mad delicious 😋😋😋

Everytime I've tried Falafel I've found it to be more or less like a ball of dry oatmeal with about the same flavour. Am I just being real unlucky?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, most definitely. Dry and tasteless are not words I associate with falafel, it sounds like something went horribly wrong there

The base taste is pretty mild, like a baked potato, but then you add spices and eat it along with other things

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's way better if you feed all the ingredients through a meat grinder (the irony is not lost on me), rather than a food processor. Think corn meal texture vs flour texture.

Also, deep fry it. Baking it just isn't nearly as good.

Dry falafel is the worst. Yes, it can be better, but also you need to have a yogurt sauce, some cucumbers, tomatoes, and tabbouleh. You don't eat a hamburger patty plain, right?

Uh. Am I not supposed to eat a hamburger patty plain? Lol. It's just a flattened meatball after all...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can, but if you're doing that, you should be mixing stuff into the meat. Personally I like to make them plain so that I can make a bunch, freeze them, and put different toppings on.

So not with my hands like a neanderthal? Hmm...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah that sounds like the key to what I've been missing. I didn't realize it was meant to be mixed with anything else. Thanks I'll have to try it again.

You've had falafel that tasted as good as oatmeal?

You lucky bastard.
