They did it with Lobsters, chicken wings, and other stuff. I hope they never do it to Barbacoa.

chicken wings

Chicken wings are normally fucking cheap, and any price spikes right now is largely COVID which has caused shortages across most industries. And 90% of the time it's not "the rich" doing it, it's a certain food catching on and becoming more popular across the population, because the rich can't possibly eat enough to raise prices. Things start off cheap because supply exceeds demand. As soon as the general population gets really into something, that demand skyrockets. For some foods -- like chicken -- factory farming has kept prices low. Anything wild caught or has a lot of requirements will go up in price because supply can't scale to meet demand.

Chicken wings saw a price increase before the current one. When I was a kid you could buy a 10 pound bag cheaper then a 3 pound pack of chicken thighs.

I can buy two packs of drumsticks for the price of one pack of wings.

Also, ox tails saw a price increase because of the rise in popularity.

The slaves started eating the dirt, which confused the Pharaoh so much that he decided to buy all the dirt he could - becoming the first realtor.

Lobster was considered slave food because they literally ground up the shell with the meat and then ate that mix.

That shit's inedible.

Chicken Wings are literally a dollar+ each in most places and were long before Covid-19 was a thing, and what fucking loony land do you live in to consider that cheap?
