/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I lived with a goofball of a guy that did some time in prison. He was a great overall cook for his lack of experience and pretty low IQ. Could do decently authentic mexican food and great barbeque just winging it, but he would always comment oh how he wanted to make some of his favorite prison commissary meals from when he did time... so when he got around to doing it I wasn't too concerned. I know the shit guys make in prison can be kinda bland/gross/dumb so i wasn't overhyped but given that he seemed to have a really good intuitive grasp on the fundamentals of cooking I wasn't worried.

He proceded to make this... thick substance... make of crushed ramen, ramen packets, doritos, ripped up hotdogs, and other random shit I cant recall. It was insanely salty, unsettling texturally, and a visual atrocity. He was beaming with pride when he served us bowls of the stuff more than he ever did when he brought out some of his very good meals. I'm still baffled by the whole situation. He was a really great guy so I forced myself to finish the bowl of it mechanically but what the fuck.
