I don’t think it’s dumb, just that it’s overly expensive and generates a lot of trash.

I think we’d all like to have a different and exotic meals everyday but buying all the ingredients can be expensive and wasteful and to get your money’s worth from those ingredients, cooking becomes a major chore, with careful planning to prevent spoilage or cluttering up the cupboard with rarely used stuff.

I could see this service being of value if one didn’t need to pre-pay and sign up for X number of meals, allowing customers to order a single meal package only when they want to try something new and know they’ll have time to prepare it.

For example, Chile en Nogada requires poblano chiles, goat cheese, walnuts, dried black currants, almonds and pomegranate seeds among the other ingredients and odds are most people don’t have all that on-hand and you’re not going to be able to buy just the two tablespoons of dried black currants needed for this dish, so you’ll have to buy a whole package that will end up sitting in the back of the cupboard forever, because what other dishes use dried black currants?
