/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Overpriced trash.

The most compelling reason to cook for yourself:
You want to eat something not available for purchase ready-to-eat.
Maybe it's just that you're camping and out of delivery range; maybe nobody in town makes a good yorkshire pudding or pimiento cheese sandwich; maybe the only pizza place that delivers to your street has standards and does not put pineapple and jalapeno on the same pizza; maybe the guy at the corner diner can't cook eggs the style you like and insists over easy IS over medium.
If you want to eat it, you'll have to do for yourself.


The second best reason is that the food you wish to eat is not sold at an appealing price. Pic Related. $2.99 and they can't even cut the crusts off?

12hx6d is a pretty common trucker schedule. No, I am not anon from above.
The kitchen in the back of the rig is not glamorous or luxurious, often barely functional. An ice chest, a hotplate and a microwave is fancy kitchen by our standards.
Arranging delivery of something that isn't a PB&J or the fucking Subway chicken bologna sandwich within walking distance is a thing.

Flip side is we're used to getting raped on pricing (pic related), so delivery charges are accepted.
