pasta with butter.
Both of my parents worked and were too tired (lazy) to make anything of substance when they got home so if they didn't buy take out or we didn't have leftovers from the weekend, it was pasta with butter. That's why I learned to cook.
It came as such a shock when I found out that not only did my friend's parents cook them dinner, but breakfast AND lunch too. And they weren't told to be grateful for getting quality meals of roast chicken with veggies and potatoes, let alone cold pasta with butter.

red baron cheese pizza. i will never spend a dime of my own money on those cardboard circles

>>11681590
We had french toast for dinner a lot. When I was a kid I thought it was great, as an adult I realized that it was because we were broke and eggs & bread are cheap.

>>11681590
Pasta with some chicken broth powder and butter is phenomenal as a comfort food

we had seasoning packet spaghetti once a week, and seasoning packet tacos once a week.

we had a lot of ground beef.

>>11681569
>good fried rice
>cheapass frozen veggies
Pick one.

>>11681569
Totinos party pizzas.
I can't eat them anymore because they taste like the box they come in.

>>11681844
Did your mom also get the shitty dry packaged pizza dough they made?
>>11681569
Spegettios with hotdogs
Hotdogs with baked beans
Dinty moor beef stew
Frozen pot pies
Kid cuisine
Ground beef tacos
In high school it became Sarah Lee box meals.

>>11681850
And here I was waiting for someone to bitch about the type of rice.

>>11681569
Parents made this every week when I grew up. Its Cream of Mushroom soup porkchops basically. You fry onions garlic and mushrooms in butter then fry the chops, add a can of soup, usually two and one can of milk. Then they served it over rice.

Half the time the porkchops came out super dry and gross and is partly the reason I don't like pork.

>>11681569
how do they make it hemispheric?

>>11681870
Put it in like a rice bowl press it a little and turn it out onto a plate. It's also handy for getting even portion sizes.

>>11681864
God what a horrible useless mom. Home cooked stuff would be half the price

>>11681879
Yeah I still wonder how I got away without being diabetic or obese

>>11681868
Haha, same. Folks are from Wisconsin. Midwest for you too?

>>11681882
Yeah, Illinois in my case. Ain't it lovely?

bengali style mutton curry with potatoes and usually they made some pakoras on the side as well as veggies. With heaping pile of rice

This thread made me sad

>>11681880
Why the fuck don’t women take pride in feeding their family anymore? (Well we know why, feminism). I’m always disgusted when I bring some roastie home and she can only cook canned stuff poorly. Even I know how to cook a slab of meat properly. My fucking boomer mom was the same way: the concept of potatoes taking longer to cook than eggs was completely foreign and any constructive criticism ended with a screamfest. No wonder so many men are gay these days.

>>11681864
did you grow poor and white. or were you middle class and white

>>11681894
just because you're not fucking your mother doesn't mean the rest of us aren't

>>11681894
This was the 80's and my mom was about boomer as they made em reganite too
>>11681901
Not sure really. My mom worked and there was no one else. So lower middle class on the knife's edge of abject poverty if something went wrong.

>>11681569
Filet mignon, Caramel apple pastry, freshly made yellow rice, salmon, park shoulder, chicken, eggs, pasteles, pernil, platanos con webos, habechuelas con Dulce, guava cake, foccocia, truffle rissoto, etc

I was poor af growing up but my mom spent more money on quality food and less on material shit like clothes, cellphones computers.

I can't find a pic but twisty pasta with chopped up sausage and bacon bits, with grated cheddar.

Ultimate comfort food.

>>11681956
your mother sounds like a retard

>>11681956
what the fuck is wrong with her

>>11682046
is it illegal to be based now?

>>11682055
okay you clearly inherited her autism

>>11682037
>>11682046
By the time I turned 16 we became upper-middle class because of her money management, she has no debt, owns her own place, retired with a pension, etc.
I don't see what's the problem, I got a good healthy diet and expanded palette growing up rather than having an iPhone like every other kid.

So.. What was the problem again?

>>11682118
lmaooooo fatty

>>11682122
Lmaooo I'm 105 lbs and go to the gym regularly... More than most people on this board do. Actually poor people are usually fatter because they eat low quality garbage. Hey but at least you got a new pair of 200$ sneakers.

>>11681956
>Park shoulder

>>11682141
i wear $12 champion running shoes with $18 supras from ross bitch shut the fuck up come at me.

>>11682151
That's a weird flex, brah

>>11682152
i just want to prove you wrong motherfucker

>>11682151
Am I supposed to be impressed that you now can't afford decent quality sneakers? Lmao

>>11682167
they're pretty good quality. i also have pretty nice NIKE SB's that were 80 bucks however my girlfriend likes my cheap Ross sneakers.
Are you also impressed that I can cum in my own mouth?

>>11682118
>I'm not like the other kidddsss
goddamn everyone like you should get forced through cheese cloth

>>11682239
I'm not the one criticizing anything. I answered the OP and nobody can say what's wrong with my mother's choices.

>>11681868
I still do that but I use boneless spareribs instead of chops so they don't come out as dry.
Another one we did a lot I still make is tater tot casserole. I love that stuff.

>>11682158
Not same guy

>>11681956
what is that a picture of?

>>11682306
Habichuelas con Dulce
I don't eat it with crakete tho

>tune sandwiches, but mayo is disgusting so I would just use a lot of hot sauce to make it not dry
>frozen burritos
>frozen chicken patties that I still eat to this day because they are delicious
>mac and cheese mixed with tuna
>corn chipped beef and gravy on bread

>>11681569
We always had gardens when I was a kid and the butter beans were my favorite. Anytime we had leftover ham it went into a pot of beans the next day.

My family calls it scout breakfast. It's just potatoes, spam, and eggs cooked together in a pan. We'd usually use a big ass cast iron skillet, it was easy to feed a lot of people (came from a family with 10 kids) and it's pretty damn good for how simple it is. I still make it once a week as an adult.

>>11682475
>10 kids
my lord, are you a boomer or mormon?

Not even asian, just grew up near a Vietnamese ghetto

>>11682475
We call it "farmers pan" (Bauerpfanne) in germany. Easy, quick and great to pig out on a lazy saturday.

>>11681569
I grew up rich

Prawn curry YAY! :D
I would be like, 7, dad used to wait ages to feed me so I was hungry, used to put cayenne pepper in the curry so I was forced to eat it despite being too hot, was his way of getting me into hot curries.

>>11681569
these came pre-cooked in a vacuum sealed plastic bag. also we ate a lot of beans.

I've grown up (iron curtain tier) poor in Poland, but babcia always made do and ma favourite was creamy chicken with carrots and rice. If I feel down, I still buy all ingredients and get comfy with it.

>>11684115
>cayenne pepper
>too hot
>:D
Is this bait?

>>11684125
Looks good

>>11684137
If you can't get cayenne pepper that would be too hot for a 7yo then I feel bad for your country. Import some Indian brands from online or something.

>>11682176
>impressed that I can cum in my own mouth?
not so much

>>11681894
Why the fuck don’t men take pride in feeding their family anymore? (Well we know why, meminism). I’m always disgusted when I bring some fuccboi home and he can only cook canned stuff poorly. Even I know how to cook a slab of meat properly. My fucking boomer dad was the same way: the concept of potatoes taking longer to cook than eggs was completely foreign and any constructive criticism ended with a screamfest. No wonder so many women are gay these days.

>>11681590
It was a lot of that for me too. Also rice with butter. A combination of us being poor and me being a picky little bitch.

>>11681569
always refused to eat it because i don't like mushrooms
always forced to sit at the table until i ate
always asked for seconds

>>11684705

>>11684705
Only a soon to be wall hitting Rösti could have tipped that. Sad. Many such cases. Go down a wine bottle and larp as a cool whine aunt, sweetie.

My died consisted of a combo of toss and stir casseroles (often crap-tier) and homecooked cajun meals that were passed down from my family, all of which were really good and definitely preferable.
My favorites were 'sticky' chicken (chicken legs and thighs stewed for a long time in their own gravy) often with rice and butter/lima beans, beef stew, gumbo, catfish coubvillon, deer sausage links with rice and gravy, and shrimp or crawfish ettoufet
I also still unironically enjoy butter grits with a slice of kraft singles melted in

>>11684705
This makes zero sense because women were homemakers and houseWIVES. I don't even get why you'd think a post like this is a good comeback

Does anyone remember that one person here who's mom would always make those McCain smiley potato things to the point where they made him sick just by looking at them?

Hated this slop on Mondays but would always eat it, would rather just have some hamburger helper t b h

>>11681894
>No wonder so many men are gay these days.

gotta love dat wiener!

>>11684705
the roast is toast

>>11684963
What's wrong with it?

Tyson chicken tenderloins with a mayo, dijon mustard, and breadcrumb breading served with boxed scalloped potatoes and canned green beans.

Had this almost every week. It wasn't bad. But now that perspective has caught up to me I am realizing my mother was not that great of a cook.

She made maybe 5 recipes that she made over and over again, some were good, some were vile.

Pot Roast with red potatoes and carrots
Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops over white rice
Spaghetti using Preggo
Pepper Steak over white rice

>>11681590
invite your parents over for dinner and prepare butter pasta

Chicken guiso, black beans, rice, shredded beef, congri, arepas, plantains, empanadas, arroz con pollo. All kinds of soups like sancochos, bean soups, creamed lentils or squash or other vegetables. Beef stroganoff, spaghetti bolognese, pasta with tuna cream sauce, chicken milanesa, lasagna, eggplant lasagna. Every cut of pork, and spam too. Pancakes, fried eggs, perico style eggs, Spanish tortillas (like an omelette, not a Mexican tortilla).

I had no fucking idea how good I had it. We had a nanny who lived with us, she was a great cook. My mom would also cook but pretty much only on weekends.

>>11684963
If they had an increased ratio of cheese to tomato maybe it'd fucking taste like something

>>11685178
>. Beef stroganoff, spaghetti bolognese, pasta with tuna cream sauce
Disgusting.
Wtf you had a nanny?

>>11685227
All of those were good. I've seen other people make really bad beef stroganoff with a bunch of canned cream of mushroom and other nasty shit, but ours wasn't like that.

My parents came from Venezuela and it was pretty common to have a domestic worker living in your house. When my family moved to the US she came with us. She got her papers and started working other jobs, so she wasn't really a full-time nanny, but she still lived with us for a long time.

>>11685304
Latins are pretty cool with how they treat servants as part of the family. Anglos could learn a lot, really.

yupppp

>>11681590

yup but with a shitload of parmesan cheese

>thit heo kho trung
we just called it salty pork and eggs

>fuckloads of ramen
>lemongrass chicken
>spring rolls

>overcooked steak and lumpy mashed potatoes
>creamed corn, canned peas almost every meal
>rice and gravy

>>11685158
LOL, same.

She'd usually make a protien, vegetable, and a starch

Protiens: Grilled chickned breast, pork chops, meatloaf, pot roast, salmon, tilapia (all too dry)

Vegetables: Peas, carrots, spinach, asparagus, or cabbage (All with a shit load of butter)

Starch: mashed potatoes (usually), boxed scalloped potatoes, baked potatoes, rice, bread (these were all ok)

>>11682347
Same with the mac and tuna
To this day I cringe when someone opens a can of that stuff.

>>11684705
They do, men are generally better at cooking and just as if not more willing to do it. There is no weird social pressure for us not to cook, so why the fuck wouldn't we? Nobody is telling us we're being slaves by cooking meals. People give us appreciation when we cook for them.

>>11684963
Someone was posting about this stuff a few days ago. I went out and picked up all the ingredients to make this for my kid after seeing it

>>11685800
>men are generally better at cooking
LMAOOOO

>>11685872
Why does my statement warrant such a hysterical response? It's just been my experience that men are better cooks, some women are great cooks, but few and far between.

hngggg

>>11681590
gratitude is a good thing to cultivate

>>11685906
Worst fucking type of noodle ever.

>>11685918
castrate thyself

Turkey hamburger helper...feel my pain

>Mac and cheese with canned tuna and hot sauce
>Beans and rice
>Savory as fuck pork chops
>fried spam sandwiches

>tfw on special days mom would make salt fish and ackee, shepard's pie, oxtail, Heath Bar cheesecake, goat curry, or awesome salads

>tfw miss my mom's cooking

>>11681868
My mom does this too. She dumps cream of mushroom over pork chops and bakes it at a random temperature for a random period of time, usually dry, pretty tasteless, and a gross skin of cream of mushroom develops over the top.

>>11685905
you must be a coastie if you really believe that

>>11686639
If she added rice and a 2:1 ratio of chicken stock it probably wouldn't be that bad.

I legitamitely think I ate Wendy's baked potatoes at dinner for at least a year straight.

>>11681569
pic related but also sliced up hot dogs in rice porridge and pita bread n' cheese. my mom got steadily better at cooking non-Chinese food as I got older, but her dumplings have always been the same
