>Certainly, I could eat more boringly, but I don't really want to. I enjoy food and I enjoy eating.
Lean meats and spices. How is that boring? If I want lobster or steak I'll go out and have it properly done. At that point it's not boring, it's luxury. If you equate "not boring" with luxury then I'm not sure what to tell you.
Yeah you're right, but I'd never be able to properly make a kobe steak at home so I'd rather go out. Chicken and most fish is hard to mess up so I keep that at home.
Most "Kobe steak" sold outside of Japan is a scam. It's extremely likely you aren't getting the real thing and before 2013 all "Kobe beef" sold in the US was a scam.
Really, this recipe[0] takes <15 minutes and tastes better than any steak I've ever had in a restaurant. I use butter instead of oil. All you need is a cast iron skillet.
I can get just as much enjoyment as I did from an unhealthy diet, but at quite a bit more cost.
