This is probably part of their "weird stuff" marketing scheme. They pick strange items to draw people in: either an item that is truly inscrutable (though often appearing related to sex) or an item that doesn't seem like it would/could be sold on their marketplace.
Unrelated story but when guests would come over, my mom would go to the store and buy the fanciest meat (usually filet mignon) and put it in a stew/soup (she liked making soups). To this day the only way I've had filet mignon was in soup
Wow, you should really go to a butcher shop nearby and buy some filet mignon. Try making some steak au poivre, a classic of French cuisine. It's not too hard and it's delicious.
But why though? That sounds completely backward. Wouldn't you use cheap meats in soups?
I remember in 2021 or so there was a startup doing 20 minute grocery delivery in SF, $50 off on your first order.

I got some really nice steaks for free and the delivery actually arrived via motorbike in 10 minutes. They must have had delivery drivers waiting with their own inventory or something. Anyways, the VC funding dried up and the company was gone a few months later.

so what does the TEMU brand actually represent?

like I can't gauge the value prop outside of "3rd party shit sold cheap".

how does that translate to quality food?
