Have you tried a meal-kit delivery service?

I don't want to name it because I don't want to be accused of shilling, but I use one.

It's nice not to have to do the shopping or have too much leftover shit I feel like I have to use because I only need one bok choy but they only come in packs of 5 million. It's true that the shit would be a bit cheaper if I bought it at the store, although in addition to the previous point they often use spices and whatnot that you typically don't see in the average grocery store.

Plus, I don't like making up my own recipes (the process of cooking itself is therapeutic to me), but I like novel recipes. So I don't have to go through the agonizing process of working out my own recipe or sifting through a bunch from the internet, most of which are shittily written. Although sometimes the directions from my service are a little shitty themselves, like how to cook onions in the pan.

OP is exaggerating to justify overspending. Not saying it's a completely horrible idea, it would actually be good if it's for things that you'd actually have to buy a lot more of than what you would use, but it's still based on selling you ingredients for more than what you would normally pay.

That's why I made it all up and the original marketer fucked off. This shit is cancer to normal people looking for healthy food. GO BUY GOOD FOOD. People won't market it to you for any other reason that you're a goddamn idiot.

They probably have teams working around the clock. Spend a few hours shilling for one client, then another. Rotate which brands they shill for so people don't become TOO suspicious.

>> No.10793680

>>10793087
Nope. Several reasons:
1) they cost more money
2) I enjoy shopping. Part of it is being able to look at what looks good/fresh/in-season and plan meals around that.
3) I would rather choose specific produce and cuts of meat myself rather than have someone do it for me & be stuck with luck-of-the-draw
4) I want more control over what I am eating rather than what the service decides to sell me. 20+ years of cooking has taught me that most recipes suck. I don't want to use some random recipe I am given, I want to choose which I want to use personally.
5) Meal kits sound like a great way for companies to offload about-to-expire, poor selling, or otherwise borderline reject product. I don't trust the companies not to load up their kits with questionable merchandise to get rid of it.

If you can't grow it, buy it from a farmer. If you can't do that buy it from a piece of shit cheap grocery store. If you can't do that get it from a premium grocery. If not that, Costco. If you can't do that, piss your money into a cunt like Whole Foods place at the end of your venture.

Buy a fucking fancy toaster oven and cook amazing dinners. Spatchcock Chicken.

Piri piri Chicken

2 tbsp McCormicks piri piri blend
3 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Herbes de Provence (thyme or Italian blend may work)
2 tbsp White wine vinegar
1 tsp Salt
4 Garlic Cloves minced/finely chopped

optional:

Liquid Macarico piri piri hot sauce to taste (approx. 2tsp)

mix well

Use Jacques Pepin recipe for application instructions and cooking.

That's Piri Piri version, use Pepin's original recipe for just amazing toaster oven chicken.

McCormick is the shittest most flavorless "spice" that you can buy.

Why would you buy some shitty spice mix & bottled sauce when it's dirt fucking simple, and extremely cheap, to make piri piri sauce from scratch?

>>don't talk if you don't know

Have your little hissy fit. McCormicks is the biggest spice vendor on the planet. Go have your play time fit. and yes, bitch about 'oven cooking'. while you're at it. I love watching kids piss their pants.

I do have to fill my propane tank though... while you're at it, you can learn how to cook steak..

Nah, but I'm happy to provide a recipe for piri piri sauce from scratch so anon doesn't have to push his flavorless walmart dust anymore.

>>10793746
Why would I buy that instead of making my own? Piri piri pepper is dirt cheap, as are the other ingredients.

You must enjoy spending more money for worse food. Either that or you're an inept cook. I'm leaning towards the latter since you seem to think that McCormic is worth recommending, and you toaster oven your piri piri instead of grilling it.
