Expensive Burger

I occasionally read stories about expensive hamburgers and they astound me. Here's another one.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/World/Jakarta-hotel-puts-110-burger-on-menu/2006/12/19/1166290520313.html" >Jakarta hotel puts $110 burger on menu</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>A hotel in Indonesia is dishing out a hamburger that costs more than twice the monthly minimum wage in some parts of the country.<br />n<br />nThe $US110 ($A141.27) hamburger offered by the Four Seasons is made of Kobe beef with foie gras, Portobello mushrooms and Korean pears – served with french fries, of course.<br />n<br />nThey're not exactly selling like hotcakes yet, but the hotel says it has sold 20 of the 1.0 million rupiah ($US110.1) hamburgers since they were launched this month.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI think people are crazy to spend this much for a burger. I admit, I have never tasted Kobe beef but I really doubt it is worth that much. I really like the part about the calves drinking beer and eating "pesticide-free grass." I don't drink beer myself, let alone feed any to the calves but " pesticide-free grass" is the only food available on the place to all the critters including the calves. <br />n<br />nI don't use any "pesticides" on the crops I produce or on my grasslands. I guess if I had an agenda I would say I raise everything "organic." I don't have an agenda though, I just do what seems right and raise quality cattle. They don't sell for the prices listed here and I wouldn't want them too. I want everybody to afford my product, not just idiot rich people who can afford $110 for a burger. They need their heads examined.<br />n<br />n<strong>It pisses me off, people are idiots, but what are you going to do? The world is full of idiots. That's why we'll never have flying cars.
