How do you get motivation to cook things other than sloppa? I can only bring myself to make fried egg sandwiches, or sloppa rice bowls with meat and onions.

that's how real men do it

I enjoy cooking, I'd even say I enjoy cooking more than I enjoy eating

[Anonymous No.18257728]

I just love to cook and love to try new interesting food.
I suppose that began while reading one fantasy book serial, where main heroes visited a lot of restaurants, and food was cooked with magic.

Nothing wrong with that. If that's what you like to eat, so be it.

Slop is peak cuisine as long as it tastes good.

Just feels good to expand my knowledge and techniques and improve in skill. It's like most things, you have to take risks and fail sometimes to improve.

[Anonymous No.18257866]

You need a motivation for it. Some people like cooking. Spending an extra hour making an intricate meal has to make sense for you personally. Don't feel bad if you so t have one, it's only food and you can get a wife to make you restaurant quality meals instead.

Usually I just go for some sloppa, but when I want something better I think about it like 'what if this was a restaurant dish and I was going to serve this to a customer'.
That way I'm honing my craft and I get to eat the results.

English, motherfucker...

Sloppa takes more skill than most other styles of cooking. Anybody can cook individual ingredients and compose them on a plate. It takes actual skill to meld several things into a cohesive whole. Cuisines like Italian is literally sloppa, and everybody likes it.

[Anonymous No.18258070]

>>18258065
no, it doesn't. an egg sandwich or a bowl of rice and beef does not "take more skill" than "most other styles of cooking" and only a degenerate virgin who posts on 4chan for 8 hours a day would suggest something that distasteful even ironically. why don't you do yourself a favor and take care of yourself for once and cook a real meal and stop the neet posturing

[Anonymous No.18258077]

>>18258070
most people on 4chan are fat lazy incompetent neckbeards who suck dick at every facet of life and so dance around all the things they're forced to do like cook and drown themselves in post irony about their shitty results so they never have to face reality and get crushed by their already crippling insecurity when they fuck up any dinner beyond a bowl of cereal or a piece of frozen pizza again

I'm usually motivated to cook nice shit when my stomach is hungry for something other than pizza, burgers, and chips. I love inspiring other co/ck/s to cook or love new flavors. It's the little things.

[Anonymous No.18258473]

I worjed in a lot of restaurants and cook fast as fuck and make decent shit in 20 minutes or less. Usually do the dishes as I cook, too. So I usually just have a pan, and a couple plates to wash afterwards.

[Anonymous No.18258543]

I just make pasta which is the white man's sloppa

Put on some background stuff with as few or no interruptions as possible. Maybe some movie, OTR stuff, a congressional hearing whatever stuff you can just listen to, and get on with what you have to do. Seems easy I know, it never prevents me from cooking stuff, but my sink needs a good cleaning and I'm excellent at procrastinating.

aka, you get sloppy seconds bitch

1723?
sloppy (adj.)
1727, "muddy," from slop (n.1) + -y (2). Meaning "loose, ill-fitting, slovenly" is first recorded 1825, influenced by slop (n.2). Related: Sloppily; sloppiness. Sloppy Joe was originally "loose-fitting sweater worn by girls" (1942); as a name for a kind of spiced hamburger, it is attested from 1961.

Entries linking to sloppy
slop (n.)
c. 1400, "mudhole," probably from Old English -sloppe "dung" (in plant name cusloppe, literally "cow dung"), related to slyppe "slime" (from PIE root *sleubh- "to slide, slip"). Meaning "semi-liquid food" first recorded 1650s; that of "refuse liquid of any kind, household liquid waste" (usually slops) is from 1815. Meaning "affected or sentimental material" is from 1866.

-y (2)
adjective suffix, "full of or characterized by," from Old English -ig, from Proto-Germanic *-iga- (source also of Dutch, Danish, German -ig, Gothic -egs), from PIE -(i)ko-, adjectival suffix, cognate with elements in Greek -ikos, Latin -icus (see -ic). Originally added to nouns in Old English; used from 13c. with verbs, and by 15c. even with other adjectives (for example crispy).
slop (n.2)
late 14c., "loose outer garment," perhaps from Old English oferslop "surplice," which seems to be related to Middle Dutch slop, Old Norse sloppr (either of which also might be the source of the Middle English word), perhaps all from Proto-Germanic *slup-, from PIE root *sleubh- "to slide, slip" on the notion of a garment one "slips" on or into (compare sleeve). Sense extended generally to "clothing, ready-made clothing" (1660s), usually in plural slops. Hence, also, slop-shop "shop where ready-made clothes are sold" (1723).

>How do you get motivation to cook things other than sloppa?
I always enjoy the lead up. It's fun to think up the list of ingredients, grab it all from the store, and then have a beer and listen to music as I chop shit up and do prep work. Actually relaxing to do.
I would just try enjoy the process more than the final result. Or it's not your thing and you juts enjoy your sloppa rice bowls which is fine too.

I used to pretty much only make sloppa or fast stir fries on weekdays and put more a bit more effort into my cooking on weekends, but when I got a gf and she started praising my more elaborate meals, my time spent on cooking has skyrocketed.

Sloppa is humanity's food. The first dish ever made in history was probably a sloppa of some sort when some ancient Asian person wanted to use up their old vegetables. Cooking sloppa all the time is just returning to your roots; anything more elaborate is just bourgeois indulgence. But if you want, you can make more complex sloppa, such as jambalaya or ragout, or dishes with an underlying sloppa element, such as shepherd's/cottage pie. Use a mirepoix as an aromatic base, which is usually chopped onions, carrots (or peppers), and celery. Try using your sloppa ingredients differently; use your beef mince and onions to make make meatballs and then make a simple tomato sauce.
