Kraft Dinner and fast food? Here poor people eat overpriced garbage. A lot of the meals I cook would be considered European peasant fare, like pasta e faglioli.

Borsht is very easy to make from home. And on top of that, it is cheap and very easy to make WELL. I eat it at least 2 weeks out of every month.

But... As for UA, it's a must visit anon. Id drop everything here if I could find decent work to move there. The food is fresher than most of what you'll find anywhere else. Nature is beautiful and the cities are too. And, of course, the girls are perfect too. Where are you from?

American here. I've seen many recipes for borscht and have made several for work as well as at home. It is not difficult.

I'm more a fan of hot borscht; though a small bowl of cold borscht is good now and again. For some reason cold borscht starts off really exciting and delicious then starts feeling unsatisfying after five spoonfuls, like you can't taste it and don't want it.

You should try solyanka. There are several kinds but I like the pickled foods, chicken and sausage variety. Also easy to make. I can give you instructions if you like.

This seems fairly universal throughout the United States, with many adding fast food in general to that list. Pretty much everything "do americans really" tier is considered trashy by anyone older than 16.
Some people consider rice, beans, and lentils to be peasant food, which it really is, but being able to cook at all is looked upon more favorably.

I sterilize the sink and plug it.

Then I roast the beets and shock them in ice-water so the skin just pulls off. WEAR GLOVES, dollar stores sell plastic gloves 120 ct for 1 USD ffs. And yes, the old knucklebuster or a mandolin inside a sink. Nothing including you gets stained with this combo.

i wonder if europe has the same phenomenon. i mean, poor people spending significantly more than those who earn more.
it's a weird feeling, watching people who make 50 bucks a day spend 10 for lunch at fucking subway, driving a brand new nissan (why do nigs love nissan?)
meanwhile i bag my lunch and drive a 15 year old ford, and they act like i'm the reason they aren't rich?
i wonder if yuro's feel the same.

Normally I would classify "peasant" food as specifically just being food that is cheap, made with readily available materials, but still actually pretty good food, nutritionally and flavorfully. But the U.S. doesn't really have that kind of culture, for us, peasant food is mostly food that wage slaves with no free time, or will to make their own food eat. As such, peasant food here is more like "a cheap source of calories that can be prepared with absolutely minimal effort and time," that said, this isn't always the reason, sometimes it is less because lack of time and more because of a "food desert" situation, either way it ends up being mostly the same, because what is cheap and abundant in the U.S. isn't things like raw ingredients (indeed, these things are generally comparatively expensive in poor areas, an amusing irony is that peasant food of other nations generally looks absolutely decadent to poor citizens of the U.S. purely by virtue of being concocted from fresh produce.) but rather shelf stable boxes of starch, salt, and sugar.
As such, peasant food here is stuff more like kraft mac and cheese, hamburger helper, ramen, and other such things.

Food deserts are self-inflicted. Attempts to get grocery stores into those areas fail, because the people living there actively don't want to make their own food.

I've also noticed that phenomenon. I'm not sure why, but they seem to regard a bank account balance above zero as a reason to spend money. I think they believe it'll be gone two days before they get paid no matter what, so they have to spend it now.

Kind of troubling.

i used to work with mentally disabled people of various levels of functioning, some almost completely normal
they all got social security and spent every penny within a week of getting it. it blows my mind how these people squander everything they have. sometimes it was buying cartons of cigarettes, sometimes it was cell phones and electronics, sometimes it was treating their "friends" to expensive things/meals. I couldn't tell them how to spend their money, and of course they probably wouldn't listen to my suggestions, but i wish some scrutiny was mandatory for folks like this. social workers can only help so much when they are addicted to spending money they dont have and when every scumbag they know will exploit these people for their money.
