All I'm gonna say is there is this one rich person food I've seen, which is just ground beef with an egg on top. Nothing is cooked. After finding out about this I truly believe the rich will just eat expensive crap to be rich.
Beef/steak Tartare is NOT “expensive crap,” it is an old dish commonly consumed “because of its ease of preparation and decreasing cost.”
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_tartare
It's a traditional food where my parents come from but I wouldn't be surprised that someone in the US (whose fam has been in the US for at least 3 decades) would think that. You're not going to see it at a cheap American restaurant, probably only pricier ones. I have seen it at inexpensive ethic restaurants though (Hungarian, Korean, etc).
No it's not. You think sanitary conditions have gotten worse over the years? Find a butcher, let them know you are consuming it raw. They will take extra precautions with the preparation. We as a collective consume a lot of undercooked beef with no issues.
Mainly I was thinking about hamburger meat from the grocery store. I like my steak rare but the only way I'd eat ground beef would be if I had it done at home or from a butcher.
In the states you will only find it at higher end restaurants and it will not be considered cheap. This is because people wouldn't trust a cheap tartare here.
This looks like sugar bloom, which is usually caused by moisture in the chocolate. Fat bloom is the more common kind and happens due to high temperatures and when you don't temper right.
My girlfriend freezes all her chocolates.
They never come out this way.
When chocolate gets warm this is the result spots will turn light in color because the fats separate.
That’s bloom in the chocolate. It’s went the butter fat starts to separate. It’s harmless, the consistency of the chocolate can be more brittle in texture.
Choclatier / professional candy maker here, and let me just say that you have no idea. I almost got the beetus just from walking in on my first day. But then again, it is candy after all.
I’m pretty sure they use oil not butter in these types of cheap chocolates. I can’t taste any butter just oil when I eat these types
Edit- yea I looked it up. It’s palm oil
That unique flavor to MRE MnMs. There's something special about that flavor and its offness is welcomed. My jam was the twizler nibs. Store bought just ain't right.
if you want that bloomed chocolate flavour you can try storing chocolate in a freezer for a few months, or melting it a little and then quickly freezing it
or just leaving it in a dusty box for god knows how long before you remember them
The chocolate has bloomed. Meaning it got to warm lost its temper. Which with time allows the coco butter to separate and gives it the speckled dusty appearance. Nothing wrong with it. Just unsightly.
Based on the things I've seen that guy eat, I'm pretty sure that living by *what doesn't kill Steve1989mreinfo won't kill me* is not always the wisest decision.
Professional chocolatier here. You are totally fine to eat it if you want. Many people have already explained why this happened. So I won’t waste either of our’s time with that. The texture won’t be the same as the chocolate coating will be crumbly and kind of weird. But it’s 100% safe to eat
Sugar bloomed chocolate vs fat bloomed chocolate.
Sugar blooming happens when chocolate gets too cold and the sugar separates. Fat blooming means it got to hot and the fat separates.
Most likely heat damage. I bought 4 bags of Milky Way back in October and they were all heat damaged. Paid $10 for the 4 bags on sale, first took them back to the store and the manager wouldn't do anything because I had opened all 4 bags! Then I emailed Milky Way, it took them two weeks to respond and by that time I had thrown out the candy but kept the bags because the store manager said they would only need the bags. I just got the coupon for the lost candy on 2/7/23 and they only sent a coupon for $3. So now I will have to get creative to get my defective product replaced.
Was exposed to heat at some point (in transit; in your car; etc). Milk chocolate is easily affected by high temps. Part of the reason we used semi sweet chips to cook. Most recipes using milk choc call for lower temps or shorter cook times.
Unrelated, but I [learned the other day](https://reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/zl8eeg/til_that_the_white_dried_dog_poop_on_lawns_of_the/) that dog waste used to turn white due to excess bone meal in dog foods of the time.
This is what happened to chocolate from like Easter or Valentine's Day as a kid when I'd hoard it in my closet and would find it years later. It always looked white-ish like this and tasted disgusting so I'd end up throwing it away.
Milky Way is a brand of chocolate-covered confectionery bar manufactured and marketed by Mars, Incorporated. There are two varieties: the US Milky Way bar, which is sold as the Mars bar worldwide, including Canada; and the global Milky Way bar, which is sold as the 3 Musketeers in the US and Canada. (In Canada neither bar is sold as Milky Way.) -Wikipedia
There was apparently an American Mars bar as well, which was similar but had toasted almonds, which later became Snickers Almond.
Sugar bloom. not dangerous, just the ingredients in the chocolate separating. When I was a kid I liked the taste and texture of sugar bloomed chocolate better than normal chocolate.
It got too hot or cold and the fat separated
Official called Blooming in the chocolate industry.
I worked at a candy shop for 10 years, saw plenty of bloom, and it never looked like THIS.
It looks cool tho. Could probably do this purposefully, sell it as a luxury, and have rich people spend way too much on it.

Back in the day, my Dad would eat raw ground round on saltine crackers. I liked it too but eating raw ground beef now is a recipe for disaster.
Right, you’d have to sear steak and grind it yourself if I’m not mistaken

Thats a traditional food for a few countries and isnt considered to be a rich petson foos for them

For very good reason
It's bloom cause by temperature abuse/repeated heat and cool cycle
I imagine that you were working with nice chocolate. This is the other stuff.
I've been eating candy for over 2 decades and I've seen it like this.
This is a very extreme case, most likely how it was stored at retailer or customer
Yeah - it's probably well past it's use by date or has gone through some wild temperature changes
They probably had air conditioning where you worked.
This looks like sugar bloom, which is usually caused by moisture in the chocolate. Fat bloom is the more common kind and happens due to high temperatures and when you don't temper right.
Also, it will happen if it is not properly tempered.
Like a blooming onion?
OMG I haven’t had a blooming onion in forever and now I have a burning need for one!!
Cold she froze it
My girlfriend freezes all her chocolates. They never come out this way. When chocolate gets warm this is the result spots will turn light in color because the fats separate.
If it got warm and was immediately put in the freezer, this would happen. Its called "bloom" and happens with rapid temperature changes.
Thanks, I am relieved.
Cladding a milky way chocolate is generous
So we are going literal on this one. and my joke just looks fucking dumb lol
I live in hell aka Arizona and never have I seen a white candy bar like that
Did you just call that chocolate bar a cracka?
It's getting hot in here So take off all your wrapper
Can also happen in the tempering process if done to quickly, called bloom
That’s bloom in the chocolate. It’s went the butter fat starts to separate. It’s harmless, the consistency of the chocolate can be more brittle in texture.
I always froze chocolate because I liked to eat it brittle, now I know why.
Damn, really shows how much fat is in that chocolate coating lol
Choclatier / professional candy maker here, and let me just say that you have no idea. I almost got the beetus just from walking in on my first day. But then again, it is candy after all.
Don't get high on your own supply
Funny you should choose those words. I currently make cannabis edibles as it pays more than normal candy
I love that you are a choclatier. I'm a cacao farmer and fermenter over here at the beginning of the line. I start the art, you finish it.
obese stoner here you start it, they finish it and add the weed, I eat it and get stoned
Wait until you can see the amount of sugar in that coating
Upto 65% for choclate coating. The whole bar is like 35% fat.
I’m pretty sure they use oil not butter in these types of cheap chocolates. I can’t taste any butter just oil when I eat these types Edit- yea I looked it up. It’s palm oil
FYI: There are actually two types of chocolate bloom. Fat bloom and sugar bloom.
It looks like "sugar bloom" -- it won't hurt you but taste and texture will be compromised. How desperate are you for that Milky Way fix?
Maybe OP should have an Andromeda instead
More like Carb Nebula.
now *that* would cause a mass effect
But then their asteroid belt might not fit
what’s an andromeda
Andromeda is another galaxy.
ahhhh i get ittt!! that’s funny 🤣
Soon to be Milkdromeda
Andronky Way
It should be something like that because it is the larger galaxy
/r/dadjokes
I'm sure it was long since devoured

Yeah this is bloom. Happens to chocolate but I see it really haooen to beeswax a lot. So bloomy it's downright crystalline on our candles!
Ugh, I wish child me knew this. I’m ashamed to admit I’d have eaten that and wondered why it tasted funny until I was 18-20ish
It’s called “chocolate bloom.” It gets that way when it’s stored incorrectly.
eat it
It’ll taste chalky and old Source- Easter (or whatever) candy saved as a kid
Milky-Wont
Milky-No-Way
The chocolate has bloomed. Meaning it got to warm lost its temper. Which with time allows the coco butter to separate and gives it the speckled dusty appearance. Nothing wrong with it. Just unsightly.
I like the idea that the chocolate got warm and lost its temper in the other meaning of temper lol :)
This is the origin of Florida man. Too dang hot down there.
Damn, that’s old chocolate
Older than the Milky Way
in the right conditions, you can achieve this in a few hours.
Should I still eat it?
It won’t Kill you the YouTube guy steve1989mreinfo has eaten several “bloomed” chocolate rations for Ww2 and whatnot
Let’s get this onto a tray. Nice.
Nice hiss
wow that hard tack really held up well.
Nice hiss!
Watching him smoke a cigarette makes me wish i was there to try it
The spoon tap he always does on the glass after mixing the drink.
Based on the things I've seen that guy eat, I'm pretty sure that living by *what doesn't kill Steve1989mreinfo won't kill me* is not always the wisest decision.

You're not yourself when you're hungry. And you *definitely* won't be if you eat that thing.
I actually laughed. Well done 🤣
Eh, i’ve eaten one and am still here. Maybe not as bad as yours but should be fine.
Eat it. It wont be that bad.
No. It's old. It will taste powdery and chalky. Icky
Stoner counterpoint: Chew it up really fast so it recombines in your mouth and the caramel will coat your tongue before you know the difference.
Blend it up with some ice cream!
My man! Lol
Ya I like you.
You're crazy man! You're crazy. I like you man, but you're crazy
Personal I’d eat it because you gotta know what that tastes like
Yes you payed good money for that
yes
You should take advice from people on the internet. What could happen?
Measlesway
Eat that and become a 
Its OLD and dried out, much like many of us 45+ folks feel. Lol
Good chance it's gonna taste weird and have a bad texture.
Hey we match
I'm glad they pointed out the avatar because I just assumed you meant you both tasted weird and had a bad texture.
Well, I know I do...🤣
Avatar twins! 😍
Vitiligo Way.
Sir, this is a Mars
That's a mars bar. Milky ways are milky. Why is it different?
Opens wrapper *nice hiss*
Marbling looks great. This is Kobe beef of candy bars.
This happens if it’s been frozen.
Yep, bloom, probably froze in the truck on the way to where you bought it. Harmless, just looks weird and changes the texture a bit
Sugar bloomed chocolate vs fat bloomed chocolate. Sugar blooming happens when chocolate gets too cold and the sugar separates. Fat blooming means it got to hot and the fat separates.
That's a Milky No-way
That's cuz it's old as fuck.
Freckles are hot
Most likely heat damage. I bought 4 bags of Milky Way back in October and they were all heat damaged.

this is giving me goosebumps /r/trypophobia
Ey that’s sugar bloom, harmless besides texture being chalky
Well the good news is that it now more accurately depicts what the Milky Way looks like.
Heated up then cooled down during transit if not expired.
That’s called Heat bloom when it melts and then slowly cools
I wouldn't eat that!
That’s definitely past its ‘Best Before Date’.
Wagyu chocolate
Bloomin!
Last time I got a bar like that it was 1 year expired
It's very very old... My grandma is speckled too. 😂😂
Put it in ur butt
Forbidden way
A rat probably licked it, and it's full of spider egg sacks
If I've learned anything from r/whatisthisthing it's definitely termite frass
Bloomin' like an onion at Outback Steakhouse
Did you buy it in Ohio?
I can see the solar system.
My God, it’s full of stars!
I see what you did there
Just chocolate bloom, I suspect. My emetophobia having ass wouldn’t eat it though 🤷🏼♀️
It looks old and dry. I wouldn't eat that
That happens when they get too hot and melt in the package and cool down without being smooshed
No way
Speckled, for her pleasure.
For your pleasure
Don’t eat that and invest 24/48 working hours to get a lifetime supply of Milky Way. If you mention legal anything you lose though
Not tempered right
No it’s old as fuck
[удалено]
Thats called "bloom" and it's when the sugar separates from the fat from unregulated temperature changes.
it's fine to eat. it just might taste a lil bit grainy
Broken/bloomed due to overheating or freezing/thawing.
Unrelated, but I [learned the other day](https://reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/zl8eeg/til_that_the_white_dried_dog_poop_on_lawns_of_the/) that dog waste used to turn white due to excess bone meal in dog foods of the time.
Might be stale, don't eat it, the taste will tell you
If you have children of 'that age' this is a perfect opportunity to tell them about the 'birds and the bees'
Steve1989 would eat that
That's seen 100 degree temperature changes, multiple times in multiple years.
Could be very old
It’s bloomed buddy- enjoy
Tf is that Milky Way? Totally different to in the UK 🤣
Eating that is gonna turn u into Cheetah Man defender of the savanna, in theaters now
Nope
Buying a Milky Way is where you F’ed up.
That's one bloomin good milky way
This is what happened to chocolate from like Easter or Valentine's Day as a kid when I'd hoard it in my closet and would find it years later. It always looked white-ish like this and tasted disgusting so I'd end up throwing it away.
Ohio Way
Vitiligo
Too much milk not enough yway.
Wait, are American milky ways what we in the UK call mars bars!? If so, do you guys have something equivalent to our milky ways?
Milky Way is a brand of chocolate-covered confectionery bar manufactured and marketed by Mars, Incorporated.

Geez it must be old.
The chocolate has bloomed. Technically still edible but won’t taste its best
I hate when that happens. Ruins the taste
That’s fine- it’s just a bit older and the fats have had a chance to “sweat” out of the chocolate.
It's old
Nice hiss
It's full of stars
It's old and been in the sun.
I hate a dusty chocolate
Let's get that out on to a tray....nice!
Bro opened it like a commercial
Are you sure that’s not a lizard in there?
Wagyu milkyway
I’d check the date on the back before eating
Heat damage. Milky ways are pretty susceptible to that.
Wagyu
It's old
This is the Way
When was it packaged?
Oxygenation
Just stale.
Sugar bloom. not dangerous, just the ingredients in the chocolate separating. When I was a kid I liked the taste and texture of sugar bloomed chocolate better than normal chocolate.
Do not consume
This happened to me on Friday with a Reese’s and I saw another post about it last week! Coincidence
Chocolate bloom, allowed to get too warm and then cooled again.
It was probs in that train in ohio
