/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I've recently started frying onions and a big pile of cabbage with some spices, then add milk as a cream substitute and maybe an egg. Then eat on bread or pasta.

You know... I'm all about deenz, deenz.

You can pepper to taste

>>11961113
Or just eat 'em dudes plain

>>11961116
>>11961113
Sometimes I crush them up and mix them with egg, cook them like torta

>>11961113
>>11961116
And the fish is safe cuz it's low on the food chain

Couple lbs of rice $2
5 lb pack of chicken or the cheapest protein, $5-6
Big Bag of frozen veg, i like peas. $2
If you have nothing then get some ms dash or a cheap all purpose seasoning. $2

If its chicken breast i normally cook a couple and freeze the rest, cook a cup of rice and some peas, and that will last me like a week, you could do a strifry thing too thats good.

>>11961201
Maybe you've got your own way

For getting Omega threeeeeeeees

>>11961099
Rice.

>>11961206
But for me, just gimme those deenz

Why are deenz threads so comfy and friendly?

>>11961255
Because deenz don't care who you are. They'll nourish you with their protein and Omega 3s no matter what.

hey im in that situation right now
i got

rice
potatoes
chickpeas
chili peppers and pepper and curry
vegetable oil
eggs
cheap cheese

seems like it will be a very starchy something with a fried egg, which isnt too bad i guess

any revolutionary ideas?

np, just make sure you use enough oil because it really does make it a lot better

indomie with fried spam + small salad on the side like cucumber or some iceberg lettuce

>>11961254
OH BABY GIMME THE DEENZ

>>11961099
Sushi or grilled salmon.
If i can't get either its usually beef brisket or pork chops.

pasta with tuna is probably the most eaten meal amongst italian students by far and it's the epitome of poverty meal here in italy

oats and peanut butter
pasta and margarine
vienna sausages and toast

>>11961099
fried eggs and steamed rice

>Get rice
>Get cheapest veg option (usually frozen bulk bag)
>Get cheap large cut of meat (like pork shoulder for example)
>Throw rice and veg in rice cooker or a pot to boil
>Cut up and season meat with whatever you like
>Use pressure cooker or slow cooker for meat
>Add meat sauce over rice and veg and enjoy
>Alternatively use lentils and beans instead of meat if you're feeling extra poor

>>11961677
I do this quite often, didn't know it was a thing others did as well.

>>11961677
I had some pici with anchovies in Siena, though I don't remember what they called it. Good stuff.

>>11962040
I think it was "povero" or something.

>>11961099
lmao that's honestly probably some fine dining in italy and they'll get their panties in a knot if you don't make it right

All I have until the next paycheck.

>>11961113
deenz NUTZ?

>>11961099
Good sardines such as King Oscar aren't cheap so how is that poverty food?

>bag of cheap carrots
>Parsnips
>Carrots
>Potatoes-any variety
>Cheap meat
>Garlic
Sear that shit in some butter with the garlic add water and veg can thicken the soup if you like it just enjoy after a couple hours as a hearty stew. Costs me about 20 euro for a large portion each day of the week.

>>11962603
It's not but poor people also tend to be retards and don't know how to get the most out of their money

>>11961535
> doesn’t understand poverty meals

>>11962609
surely you can't enjoy eating like a 11th century french peasant
i know its merely for survival, but damn

>>11961099
either rice or burritos desu

I buy a 750 gram of frozen fries and eat the whole thing for lunch. Costs 1-2 euros depending on what type I get. Home made pizza is also cheap so I make that often.

>>11961099
bbq sauce and a spoon

>>11961310
garbage plate or ghetto huevos rancheros

>>11962133
you're kinda right however pasta with deenz ( "pasta con le sarde" usually served with wild fennel, olives, pinenuts and raisins) it's considered a "cucina povera" (poor cuisine) dish, not fine dining

>>11962603
because cheap sardines are a thing

>>11961099
looks good
what else is in this dish is that crushed tomatos & onion?

>>11961113
I go for ramen,on sale cereal,or pasta(like op said)
deenz are hit or miss.

>>11962851
why do they sperg over their poor cuisine?

>>11962978
it's usually food cooked by grandmas, so it's roothed in the childhood memories of many italians

>>11961099
That isn't 50 cent ramen? 2 years past expiration date frosting on bread. If I try hard enough I can almost make it feel like I'm eating a donut. Otherwise I just make pasta with some butter and parmesan. If no parmesan, then I don't make pasta.

>>11961099
Pasta with helmanns mayo. Its poverty as hell but oishii as hell too

>>11961099
Define poverty? This cost $2.30 and if i didnt use real mozzarella its would be $1.00

>>11961677
What’s in it?

>>11963208
pasta + a can of this

>>11961694
Are you colombian?

>>11963151
Not that guy, but bread that isn't sandwich slices is more expensive where I live.

Living on all carbs will be damaging eventually. He needs to throw in some canned meat, or go asian and consume eggs with pasta or rice. You can consume rice, beans, chorizo, eggs, and milk together to make it through bad times and it's dirt goddamn cheap for insane calories and protein.

Look gringos, being poor doesn’t mean you eat like swine.

I made this for me and my friend this morning, total cost? 2 dolars

Hodgepodge with pork sausage

>>11963281
>bread that isn't sandwich slices is more expensive where I live
My grocery store makes baguettes in house and sells them for $1.50/ea. A loaf of sliced bread costs between $2.50 and $4.00

>>11963284
Agreed. Pot roasts are incredibly cheap per meal and are one of my favorite dishes and it reheats great.

>>11963265
uh no. why do you ask?

>>11961099
Just made Spaghetti Aglio e olio. It's amazing how such simple ingredients together are absolutely fantastic

>shit-ton-o-pasta
>Sliced kielbasa
>Pepper
>Alfredo sauce

Have literally made enough to feed my gf and I for 5 days

>>11963341
And you two are likely going to create enough gas to run your furnace for the next month.

When I was livin with my dad we had top ramen stir fried with chicken and frozen canned pineapple to replace ice cream

20 years later and I still eat that shit even when I'm not struggling

>>11963333
I hate you.

Actually I just checked my freezer. They do sell "Italian loaf" for 1 USD. It's horrible but it's bread. Baguettes are 2.50. They make various other breads you'd be surprised to find in rural America, but most are above that price point.

>>11963341
how do her braps smell?

>>11961099
oatmeal

>>11961099
Mac and cheese with tuna and peas.

We called it "tuna bleh". For bonus points eat it with canned peaches for dessert on the side, the syrup transforms your bleh into a magical dish that distracts your from the existential dread of poverty for a short time

>>11961099
Sandwiches. I've got plenty of money, but am pretty jewish about spending sometimes. So generally I'll just by half a pound of 2 different meats, a loaf of bread, and some sharp American per week and eat a sandwich or 2 a day.

>>11961099
You guys realize how cheap it is to make great food right? There’s no need to eat utter trash. Spices and herbs are cheap.

>>11961099
Crisp sandwich.

>>11963339
I just googled it. Gotta try cooking it tomorrow

>>11964183
Indeed. I can make a big bowl of vegetarian Minestrone soup for under a £1.

>>11964217
how?

>>11961677
Ha i just started making this recently, super tasty and I never use to eat canned tuna. Honestly I found it really disgusting.
my recipe os
>small can of either cherry or san marzano tomatoes
>small onion
>shit ton of garlic sliced
>one hot pepper
>any canned tuna (in olive oil)
and then I throw a handful or two of any small pasta like ditalini or something and let it cook in the sauce

Like macaroni and mincemeat all the way.

Sardines and tuna are expensive here, herring is not though, so potato and herring is on the menu quite often too.

>>11961099
usually some sort of rice + cheap meat of the week deal + frozen veggies

>>11961099
Pastad and deenpilled

>150 gram of rice (20 cent?)
>One Onion (20 cent)
>1/4th salami, cut in blocks (25 cent)
>Brown beans (half a can, 40 cent)
>half a can of mais (30 cent)

Thats my poverty meal. Around €1.50.

But the salami is very bad if eaten alot so i only make this like once every two weeks.

>>11963151
With real mozerella you mean mozerella made by buffallo milk instead of cow milk or did you mean something else by 'real mozerella'?

>>11964338
yes!

>>11961111
I like doing this and adding some powdered chicken broth

>>11964338
I meant it would be a lot cheaper if I used only prepackaged shredded mozzarella cheese

>>11964353
Oh, because yesterday i checked a few mozerella's. One was 50 cent but was made.of cow's milk and the most expensive one was made out of buffallo milk and felt alot squishyer. Apperently has more fat percentage as well.

Got my attention after i watched a video about what mozerrella they use in italy to top their pizza's with.

>>11964362
Strictly speaking only bufallo mozzarella is “real” mozzarella but in day to day parlance in the western world we consider cow’s mozzarella as “real” as well.

>>11961099
Nigerian scrambled eggs (which is just diced onions, tomato, sardines, and a bit of chicken boullion) and a hunk of white bread or cold cassava meal porridge with sugar and peanuts.

>>11963453

>>11964232
if he doesn't actually mean making a massive amount which averages out to less than $1 per portion, then I'd like to fucking know too

>>11961099
I used to be a big fan of rice sandwiches and rice topped with salt, pepper, and ketchup

>has internet
>thinks they can discuss poverty


yikes

Rice fried eggs and soy sauce.

>>11964480
Neighbours don't secure their networks good enough, so i don't need an internet provider.

Even then, poor people are allowed to have internet too.

>>11964439
>averages out to less than $1 per portion
Not him but that’s how you calculate food costs properly. The trick is leaving little to no waste. Buy perishable goods for three days use maximum and resupply when you run out. I always make myself two portions of food for dinner. One I eat immediately and the other I eat for the next days lunch. My French bread pizza was made from almost 100% left over things from the chicken parmesan I made the night before with the exception of a few pieces of pepperoni. Tomorrow i’ll have the rest of the chicken parmesan for lunch and I’ll even have pasta left over to make carbonara on Thursday. The extra pork chop with rice and peas I made tonight i’ll have for dinner tomorrow. 100% money efficiency and I’m eating like a king. I spent a grand total of $6 to eat three great meals today

>>11961113

good taste, anon

>>11961099

A cheap meal I eat pretty frequently is spaghetti with garlic, chillies and olive oil, and then add in a can of tuna, lots of cracked peppers and some sliced parsely.

>>11961099
I usually cook up and eat some Sugon

>>11961099

Oatmeal is the god tier poverty food. Extremely cheap, nutritious and healthy. If you're poor and not eating oatmeal regularly, you're a fucking retard

>>11965308
it really depends on where you live, oats here aren't so cheap

>>11965170
OH BABBBBY GIMME THE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENZ

Here's health to the Pope, may he live to repent
And add just six months to the term of his Lent
And tell all his vassals from Rome to the Poles,
There's nothing like DEENZ for saving their souls!

beans and deenz and beautiful scenes

what more could i ask for?

I wouldn't know, haven't been poor since I was 19.

>>11965398
I'm not poor either but I still eat a fuckton of dishes which are technically poverty food. Spaghetti aglio e olio for example.

A can of deenz weighs about 160g
If we assum it has 0 momentum and break it down into pure energy using e=mc^2

1 can = 14e15J of energy
That’s 14 peta joules

Enough energy to run 80 North American homes for a year.

Deenz are a sustainable energy source

hey guys im looking for a fish to eat, im not much of a fish eater. i'm looking for a lot of omega 3s and 6s in a good ratio... i dont want much mercury either.. so maybe a fish on the bottom of the food chain? hmm

someone recommend me a fish please that fills all of this criteria

>>11965398
You won't stay rich with that attitude.

cooking spam in soy sauce and adding it to mashed potatoes with usually some onion gravy

beans, rice, shredded cheese and salsa

>>11965470
have you tried sardines?

>>11963538
You haven't lived until you top it with French's French Fried onions for the full experience.

>>11965893

>>11961310
that's fantastic my man!
Cube potatoes, Salt n pepper and oil. bake at 350 til done. Is a perfect base with any other food. prepare ahead and serve with scrambled eggs or spicy pan fried chickpeas.

Also mix those baked potatoes with your rice as an even heartier base.

>>11961706
Alternatively, a big bag of some frozen meat like chicken is cheap af at a place like Aldis

>>11962996
Everyone's fuckin grandmas cooked for them, but nobody spergs about it like Italians do.

>>11966131
I’ve been to Italy and I can honestly say the food was much better in Paris.

My favorite is black beans and rice. It can be seasoned really well without fresh herbs. and it's also a great dish to modify. I'm usually adding tomatos, onions, and peppers to it if they're cheap enough. Buying frozen chicken breasts is another good way to add. Just pan sear the chicken in spices, cut up, and add to the rice while its cooking.

Also this thread is wonderful and I hope all of you have an excellent day today.

>>11962585
Hah

>>11964480
>thinks poor people can't access the internet
>thinks they can discuss poverty
dumbass

Burritos are probably my favorite poverty food, because the most expensive part of them is usually the tortilla, and you can spice them up any way you like.

I like making turmeric rice with lentils and curry sauce in a tortilla. Couscous with feta and spinach in a tortilla. Beans and rice and dairy, wa la !

Onion, beans, wieners, tomato sauce, basic seasoning + pasta of your choice or bread. Very very good and very very cheap

>>11964498
i have one
i use it with a generator

I used to love the King Oscar deenz till I found pic related. They are very similar, but the Crown Prince tastes a little bit better to me. Are they the same brand?

>>11965907
I'll see that and raise you a Kenny

>>11966184
Cut up sausages also work really well with black beans and rice.

When I'm poor, I switch to buying choice ribeye rather than my usual prime.

>>11966343
It doesn't look it from their website.

>>11966372
Oh, the crown at the top looks the same till you zoom in on them. They're slightly different. Love my deenz tho no matter which brand.

>>11966508

>>11961677
I do this with pasta twirls and mayo.

>>11961099
Tomato sauce with pasta and some seared leftover veggies if available.
Ramen noodles in kombu and miso broth with an egg in it.

>>11961677
Tuna is extremely expensive. It's everything but a poverty meal. A meal for people who can't cook for shit that I can agree on.

>>11966746
Canned tuna for sure, but I wonder if fresh tuna would be, say discount rainbow trout level competetive in places where it is "native", such as Italy.

Boil sliced potatoes with salt, a little bit of canola and meat remnants (skins and strings of salami or anything that comes off of meat). Lasts roughly two days for each potato sliced in. Pair with free bread from a bougie cafe and add in foraged mushrooms, praying that they are edible. This is how I ate every day until I graduated highschool and moved to the city.

>>11966779
It's not.

chicken leg quarters

you can buy 10 pound bags for less than $0.50 a pound, a local grocery store had them for $0.39 a lb last week, that's cheaper than almost anything else and if you prepare them right they are good food.

For me, itll be onion and barley soup.

4 onions, slowly caramelise, while soaking barley. then add together with water and BOOM. Cheap soup.

>>11961099
it legit , just annoying to have to remove the spine out the sardine.

I've got plenty of bags of dry pasta, and usually a block or bag of cheese, so it's usually mac n cheese, sometimes with frozen veggies or meat added. Also add some mustard, it's fucking delicious.

>>11967215
Yeah, this.
I have no idea how they can even profit selling meat that cheap. But it happens on a regular basis, people who claim to not be able to afford food just dont know how to shop and deserve to struggle.

Ramen

cheap ramen, drain the juice, add butter and garlic. cheap as fuck, add anything else to taste. ill make like 4 ramen packet noodles at once. slike a gallon of pasta for no money.

>>11969481
>cheap ramen, drain the juice
Where do I buy ramen juice

>>11964498
Wtf? What are they going on about? these are perfectly safe.
No more dangerous than a regular one.

>125g noodles (30c)
>300g assorted frozen vegetables (50c)
>two tablespoons of soy sauce (20c)
>one tablespoon vegetable broth (5c?)

It's really tasty and waaaay better than ramen, simple and easy to cook, and costs barely more than a euro.
I also sometimes add minced meat if I have it

>>11966278
>>11970021
There are probably liability issues.
And honestly, anybody who needs the store to help them make one of those is not qualified to use it.

Unironically pizza.
If you split the cost of the ingredients into individual pies it probably doesn't even come to a buck each. Maybe 1.50 if I get fancy with the toppings.

>>11961099
Potatoes, onions, sausage in a pot. Salt and pepper.

Usually I make vegetarian chili as it's super cheap compared to the amount of food you get across a week.

>>11970021
I assume the danger is if you plug both ends into live outlets, which some dumbass would inevitably try

>people who claim to not be able to afford food just dont know how to shop and deserve to struggle

Anon. I've been to the most ghetto neighbourhoods in an effort to shop as cheap as possible, but even those got gradually more expensive. And taxes on food went up this year.

T.eurofag

>>11970307
Those ghetto neighborhoods have only, what Americans call "convenience stores", where the selection is small, volumes are small, packaging is small, hence you pay more for the same shit compared to a megamarket where one needs a car to get in.

Even if it says supermarket and sits on its own lot, those would hardly qualify as "minimart".

Now, depending how ghetto you choose, the cheaper rent can surely offset slightly larger food expense but personally I find the limited selection, specially not having bread that is not "breakfast loaf" a major inconvenience.

>>11970320
If i want to go to a 'superstore' i need to be either a business owner and registered to the kvk, or go to germany which is too far away. Sadly.

>>11970375
Well, if you don't have a superstore within say 10km, there may be better chance of having shit.

I used to live in siberia level rural area and comparing my local convenience market to roughtly same sized store in that little town and the difference is night and day. They actually have small amounts of everything in their tightly packed shelves compared to long rows of the same I have here, because in the little town the demand is there.

Sure, the prices are 30% higher, but one can get a liveable shask for a song there.

Uh, huh. So you like run that from a generator to a random outlet to energize your whole house?

That's super dodgy and there are bunch of ways to screw up, like:

>most likely causes a "brownout" that may break anything from your smart toaster to your waterpump rather than a fire
>but fire is also a possibility if the generator has no circuit breaker

tuna rice
spaghetti and canned tomatoes
potatoes and bones

I'm a CO in a prison, I've seen some fairly ingenious (and other downright disgusting) things prepared and eaten by the inmates. One thing that looked good was a guy using ramen noodles (no flavor packets) mayonnaise, canned oysters, jack mack, soy sauce and a bunch of spices to make some type of weird seafood-pasta (kinda) salad.

The other go to that they do is spaghetti from the messhall + mayo and tuna.

Grilled pork chops

Pantry pasta. Also there cheapest cut of meat where I live is either bone in skin on chicken thighs or a whole chicken. Those can last you a while if you prepare them right.

That is the main reason why they are able to do the crossing in the first place. Reliable real time maps and communication with other groups and contact people, even finance.
Because rather than smart cards, Africa went straight to mobile pay - do an odd job, chances are you get value transferred to your phone account rather than crumbled bills.

>>11972824
You could then mix that pepper and salt or whatever egg-milk mixture and add cheese, if you are feeling like truly splurging. Bang, macaroni casserole. Much improvement over that thing.

Some people here call that thing "impatience mush".

Its unlikely that would be a problem, since any other outlet within range of a short cord is going to be on the same circuit anyway. It would be an issue if the hot wire was routed to neutral or ground, but then it would be the fault of the cord.
The actual issue is when one end is plugged in, and the other end is exposed. You have an open pronged stun gun at that point. It could also easily short out against anything conductive. Also, two males together is officially gay.

Also, legitly a shock hazard if PE+N arrangemend is used. Shared neutral is it called?

My cheap shitty meal is just mixing some seasoned gravy, some non-meat and vegetables in a bowl with cheese, onions, and an egg. Costs jack dick, takes 0 time and effort.

My poverty meal was straight-up toast sandwiches. Hold the butter.

>>11961099

>>11961099
Pasta Aglia or a teriyaki rice bowl with chicken thighs, since they're cheap as fuck.

>>11961310
Tell me about your spices and sugars?

>>11961099
Lobster or Alaskan king crab

This may not be full on poverty,
but it's a pretty good meal,
and you can replace the rice with regular.

Brown up the Spam
Add the mixed greens
Add a little water or broth
Boil and stir for a couple minutes
Add cooked rice
Stir and serve

My dorm food is usually
Microwave Green peas
Microwave white rice, basmati is better than jasmine btw
Date fruit (deglet noor)

>>11961099
This shit literally costs $2. Carbonara for the win.

Made some packaged curry flavored ramen, topped with sauteed onions/garlic/ginger, 2 soft boiled eggs, mayo and coleslaw sauce mixed in. Was pretty good.

>>11961205
I eat do this twice a week at least. It's so cheap, healthy, and delicious.

>>11977340
Gonna make one tomorrow with an egg instead of craime fresh. See if the "origina" recipe is as good as they say.

>>11977414
If it has cream it isn’t carbonara. Just remember that you need one whole egg and two egg whites, not three whole eggs and that you need to add the pasta to the pan and remove the pan from the heat before you add your egg/cheese mixture or else you’re going to end up with scrambled eggs instead of a creamy sauce.

>>11961113
>>11961116
i do this with canned tuna
its like 75 cents a can here so i just buy a shit load of it
i eat like 8 cans of tuna a week

What do you guys do when you say you throw in "an egg" into a dish? Do you cook it separately, or literally just throw an egg into a dish while its cooking? Is it any good?

>>11977519
It depends on the dish. Be more specific.

>>11977526
Referring to this post mainly >>11977526
I'd like to add a single egg to my shitty cheap-but-healthy meals for the nutritional value. Haven't ever tried it though.

>>11977540
Meant this >>11974709

>>11961178
Eggz and beanz for my dinez

>>11977540
>>11977543
Well in the form of a sandwich you would typically fry and egg by itself and then add it into the sandwich after it’s cooked. In things like story you crack the egg directly into the pan the other things are being cooked in and then it gets stirred in.

>>11961099
White Rice. Rice and vegetables. Rice and meat. Rice and eggs. Rice and beans. Rice is cheap and tastes good with everything. I wish I didn't like it so much though because it's high in calories and has almost no nutritional value. I'm white, by the way.

>>11977588
I'm also gay btw if that matters

>>11961099
1.poorfag chilli. Beans, tomato sause, spice and some sausage/whatever the fuck available

Italys only claim to fame is the food, the french had an empire like the British and food culture so they're eternally competing due to their inferiority complex
>Lasagna was invented by Britain
>So was the superior version of Carbonara with bacon and cream
>The land of boiled meats and potatoes
Of course they're mad

>>11977423
Yeah, yeah. And if it has beans, it isn't chili.
Go be a pretentious faggot somewhere else.

Nothing pretentious about it. Things are what they are and if you change them they become something else.

can I watch two men make love on these internetted computers?

I'm just glad to have food.

>>11961677
I 'll mix tuna with mayo and ketchup, until pinkish consistency and mix it with spaghetti.

It sounds like heresy, but I find it so tasty.

>>11978156
savage
i usually make a sauce with cherry tomatoes sauce, garlic and oil, some raisins or olives if i have any
fresh basil at the end

>>11961677
Students in the UK do this all the fucking time as well, not me though I hate tuna

>>11962281
Sounds pretty good to me

Get a pan
Put spaghetti in it
Put a chicken bouillon cube in
Boil
Chicken soup
Sometimes I will use different flavor bouillon cubes

>>11979447

>>11961099
Mine is rice with sardines (RIga Gold SPrats ideally) and some soy sauce/sweet thai chili sauce. Garnish with green onion.

Alternatively I do pizzas on naan bread, but sometimes naan is overpriced here I just have to get lucky.

And eggs, tons of eggs. eggs is cheap.

>>11961677
how the fuck is tuna poverty? that shit is fucking expensive. All decent protein is.

>>11979516
Might surprise you to learn this but prices can change based on location.

>>11977648
A friend of mine shared some of this with me at lunch while at work.
Surprisingly good for a budget meal.

>>11979516
Tuna is cheap here in the USA.
I can buy a pack of 8 cans for about 5 USD.
That can go a long way depending how you use it.

>>11979516
>>11979700 cont.

Unless you mean actual fresh Tuna.
But that's not what anybody is talking about.
No shit fresh tuna is expensive.

now its pork adobo with rice

>>11981562
Shut the fuck up. If you discount all the welfare niggers, americans on average earn more, while their gas, cars, driver licence, food and electronics are usually the cheapest around the world.

We Europeans should be goddamn ashamed of the state we're in.

>>11961677

Why no tomato? imho tuna goes great with tomato sauce.

>>11981953

chicken and rice

fried bologna sandwiches

>>11982363
Show us how much a gallon of gas costs there you live

I have never been budget constrained to the point of struggling to feed myself. I have never lived in a time or place where rationing was necessary. I have never experienced food shortages or famine.

With eggs, bacon, pinto beans, and tortillas, I could eat 3 square meals forever. Bacon isn't cheap but it's doing double duty: eat the bacon after you render the fat out and use that to cook the other stuff.

>>11963143
Used to do the same with chicken flavored ramen. Some Tap for a kick.

>>11979459
>bird tea

>>11961205
ARE YOU ME? This is my dinner 90% of the time.

1 Cup rice
1/2 Can of diced tomatoes
Frozen veggies
1 bouillon cube
Sometimes I add a bit of ham and/or some fruits (pineapple, pears, peaches, apricots etc.)

On the weekends I make homemade pizza which is just white flour, water, yeast, diced tomatoes, ham etc.

Can of beans in tomato sauce, mixed with a half cup of prepared brown rice, and a bit of yogurt stirred in at the end. Other than too much salt, it's a well balanced meal that costs a bit over $1.

Lots of fibre, decent amount of protein, and tastes great.

Jesus Christ, some of the posts in this thread.
A good portion of you are just idiots who can't cook and are apparently too stupid to learn how to.

Roast a chicken - whole chicken run about $7.00 - 8.00 , will feed you for at least four meals. Sprinkle liberally with salt, bake at 425 in oven for 11 - 13 min per lbs.

Boil Bones in water add salt make broth - freeze it.

Save pan drippings cook 1tbls with 1 tbls of flour and 1 cup of milk, broth, or even water - make gravy - freeze it.

Blanch Liver and Kidneys and either fry or use in gravy.

Spend 5.00 more on carrots and peas, fresh ones you mongoloids, make soup with the stock or broth you made and left over meat from carcass.

If you have flour make gravy, if you have butter make home made pie crust for chicken pot pie.

There, a week or more of dinners for about $15.00 - $20.00. Imagine that.

If you have a little more pick up sage, thyme, and rosemary.

doesn't sound bad desu, kind of want some now

>>11984238
I would if I had em anon but believe me it's no meme, we pay out the ass. We're getting fucking reamed.

Garlic cups at Dominoes are 25 cents per IIRC 300 calories. It's one of the best dollars to calorie ratio I ever seen. Pop a few of those in the morning and evening and you're golden. Chicken and veggies and shit cost money, like $4 probably per day. That's pretty expensive compared to what you can get by with on less.

>>11984270
I bough 2 lbs of chicken breasts at Walmart for $11... Fucking ridiculous. Shitty quality too(obviously, it's Walmart).

>>11984294
But your money is worth twice as less as American money, so you get twice as more to compensate. Your $11/two pounds actually is closer to $5/two pounds, which is $2.50/pound and that's close to the $2/pound in the US.

>>11984285
If you want calories/cost ratio kings, buy these in bulk:
White flour
Vegetable oil (used from grease trap is a bargain)
Sugar (in countries without protective tariff)
High fructose corn syrup
Low quality grains intended for animal feed, field corn, horse oats
Bruised and misshapen potatoes
Any expired product that cant be sold at retail
Meat trimmings

>>11984319
It's posts like these that make me come back for more, thank you anon for the tips and tricks. You may have just saved me thousands of dollars over the next several years.

Chicken with rice and assorted cheap (sometime frozen) vegetables. Cook the rice a day before and let it firm up and it makes for good stir fry.

Do the rice day of and add beans with a tortilla wrap for burritos.

>Day-old chicken
>Cut it up into pieces

So fucking good. Eat this probably once a week.

>>11967237
This goy gets it!!

>>11984346
Even better is if you get a rotisserie chicken. That stuff lasts for several meals and the carcass can be used to make stock.

>>11962858
My local bakery sells a can each for 60 cents, sardines with tomatoes

>>11982389
Guzzoline is a base, then governments such as the EU put a VAT on it, it's so high that you're not meant to see it in order to deal with their social engineering. So when you compare prices you have to include things such as that.
