Omaha Steaks
The thing is, it is not so delicious as you'd think. The steaks are fine and tender and all, but they aren't anything you couldn't pay a bit extra for at the local butcher's, and get three times as much per dollar spent. The food is basically just so middle of the road and inoffensive that to me, it is not a premium product. I think the whole package that was sent to us probably cost at least $300.
UPDATE : I am of course grateful for the gift and only complaining about Omaha Steaks in general, not about getting them for gift in specific.

OMG SWEAR WORDS
Albert L. Lord -
How good is this? Steve, let's go. There's no -- no questions. Let's get the fuck out of here.
The head of Sallie Mae, at the end of a financial conference call said this, causing the price of Sallie Mae stock to drop 20%, apparently.
If he keeps swearing maybe they will go out of business and none of you will have to repay your student loans.

I am just saying that they're overpriced and probably an ecological disaster.
When I opened the plastic container in the cardboard box in the styrofoam cooler inside the giant fucking carbon footprint I thought I had accidentally opened up a lemon pastry of some sort.
Nope, that was frozen lemon butter which coated the thing like a cocoon. I followed the cooking directions to behold a tiny speck of fish wrapped around a lot of flavorless stuffing swimming in a sea of butter. Yuck.
So if you want to spend a lot of money on getting a giant ass, Omaha Steaks is the place to go.
(note: I am deeply grateful for the present.)
