Absolutely. And the 'money food' should up front and recognizable to the eye and tongue. So part of the battle must be gaging the crowd's perception of what is cheap food. I think my group will go for just about anything provided there is enough choice. Some things (flank steak, lamb shanks, marrow bones) are seen as cheap but have become quite pricey. On the other hand, I saw fantastic tiny new potatoes at the market being sold as "pig potatoes" for a very low price. Whole duck is a great idea. Pork loin or belly, too. Pork in general is severely underpriced here - in the last few years the number of pig farming operations in Nova Scotia has gone from over 200 to about 30. Quinoa is a good choice as well - its a good price at the bulk food store, and its still seen as quite exotic. ← why pig potato? do pigs eat them? i'm lost..................
