I went recently, based off the number of people recommending Hys when I type “steak” into the search bar of this sub. I keep reading comments both here and other places, that I “absolutely must try the cheese toast” as it’s a “Hys staple”. Even on their menu, it heralds it as amazing.

Now, for context I used to be poor. Now I’m not.

Why that matters, is because I’m all too familiar with struggle meals. Like, eating ramen out there packet crushed up without boiling it, kind of broke.

Anyways, the reason I bring that up is because my plebian ass heard of how I absolutely must try this amazing snack favoured by the aristocracy of Winnipeg.

So for $12 I purchased what was essentially a soggy, bland piece of bread with what tasted like Kraft dinner mix on top. It was nothing other than a struggle meal , that any broke person would’ve come up with using 25 cents of ingredients. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I’m now convinced that this is either some sort of gimmick for rich people to try what it’s like to be poor, or you’re all in on some elaborate joke that gets people to order this disaster one single time.

Frankly, I’m depressed and ashamed.
