/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Stop buying kobe tenderloin.

>retard draws ridiculous conclusions from his ignorance

>>12076148
bullshit.

>"cooking saves money"
Yeah maybe, if your time if worthless

>>12076148
>he eats meat every meal
Yikes

>>12076148
that's because you shop for a single meal at a time dumbass

>>12076148
I can get 8 chicken thighs at aldi for about tree fiddy

>>12076177
Given that you've got time to post here I'm guessing you have plenty of time to spare. You just choose to spend it on other things than cooking, which seems really idiotic.

>>12076183
A buck fiddy if it’s close to the use by date and they discount it.

>>12076185
Not if I unironically enjoy shitposting more than cooking

>>12076148
>meat for a dish that will last several meals costs more than 2 pizzas which will be good for one meal each

>>12076163
I bought chicken for 3€ (enough for 2 portions). A 2x pizza cost 2.29€.

>>12076148
bulk cooking with cheap ingredients like rice, beans, and chicken breast saves money.

add vegetables and other meat and it's more expensive

>>12076432
>dude just eat raw rice lmao

>>12076435
what?

anyways chicken is only cheap because it has subsidies on par with corn and sugar products

>>12076148
>meat alone costs more than two pizzas

wut? 1lb lean ground beef is like $5.

Add another $5 of veggies and spices and can make enough hamburger soup to easily last 5-6 meals.

And there are cheaper and more economical meats out there than beef.

>>12076478
I don't want to live where you live, I buy 93/7 ground beef at Costco for just over $3.00 a pound.

Cooking for 1 is a loss
Cooking for 2 is still a loss but its closer
Cooking for a family of 3 is the first point where its a financial win
Obviously it gets better the more you add

>>12076565
This is not true at all, and I am curious to hear your logic behind this post.

>>12076586
>idiot makes retarded claim
>"please prove yourself!"
Why? You know the response is going to be based on a single incident in a single retard's life, why waste your time on whatever shitty justification he/she cobbles together?

>>12076594
Probably, but he may also just be genuinely confused about how to cook.

>>12076586
>buying in bulk is cheaper: the post
what exactly are you trying to understand?

>>12076811
Buying in bulk being cheaper has no direct relevance to the claim "Cooking for 1 is a loss".

>>12076192
You might enjoy shitposting more, but food is vital for survival, making it the more logical choice to spend time on

>>12076565
It doesn't matter how many people you are cooking for if you have a freezer or you are skilled at repurposing leftovers.

>>12076201
I get chicken breast 2 bucks a pound. That’s at least 3 servings. Pair that with rice and that’s 3 servings, 3 meals for about 3 bucks

>>12076815
it does if you've ever been to a grocery store. trying to buy non-processed food when only cooking for 1 is amazingly difficult. everything is sold like it's being sold for couples and families.

>>12076845
Then you get bulk and cook one serving at a time you fucking retard

>>12076845
>buy bulk chicken breasts
>separate into one pound portions
>Cook a pound at a time, makes two or three meals with sides
>Save leftovers
It takes just the tiniest but more work.

>>12076565
>cooking for 1 is a loss
I assume you mean dinner because breakfast and lunch single person meals in no way can be termed a loss. And for dinners, you don't cook for 1, you cook for 4 and eat leftovers. Or are you too exalted to eat leftovers? Stop trying to rationalize your slovenly laziness to justify eating mcdicks or chikfuka every meal, fatty.

>>12076840
Now add the soy sauce and veggies that cost 6 bucks minimum

>>12076854
Veggies are cheap as hell and I bought a gallon of soy sauce for ten bucks that has lasted me more than a year.

>>12076851
have fun eating chicken and rice for the rest of your life. yes your tiny little brain can cook up 1 example of poverty tier food choices, but you should let the adults talk.

>>12076148
Especially with the dominos shit where any picture of pizza gets you a sixth of the way to a free pizza. I don't know how that works out financially for them.
It is ultra greasy garbage, but it's good on a drunken night.
Try the salami and roasted red peppers on a pie. Bretty gud.

>>12076861
So because I posted one example, instead of listing every dish I have ever cooked, you assume that's the only thing I eat? Grow up, you can do this with any meat and any meal.

>>12076821
do you have autism by any chance?

>>12076535
>93/7 ground
90/10 is where I draw the line.

>>12076878
I don't get it

>>12076432
>add vegetables and other meat and it's more expensive

Living on a nutritionally complete diet of rice, beans, and frozen veggies costs under $2 a day.

Living on restaurant food costs maybe $15 a day, minimum. You have significant room for variety/enhancement before the two are even halfway comparable.

>>12076854
>veggies and soy sauce cost 6 dollars a day
>implying soy sauce is necessary
You really are retarded aren’t you?

>>12076845
What's the problem? If, for some reason you're too beta to ask for smaller portions of meat, etc, then you have two easy options:
-cook larger batches of food, then freeze them and reheat as needed so you aren't eating the same thing every day
or
-plan your menu to use up surpus ingredients.

>>12076899
We assume Billy embarks on becoming fit to interact with girls without them laughing at him, but he actually does it to seek revenge. Bitches get slapped. It's funny, no?

>>12076565
Cook three portions and eat the leftovers you STUPID FUCKING RETARD

>>12076955
It worked for Zyzz. Too bad he didn't take the natty pill.

>>12076148
>he eats
Yikes

>>12076148
But flour is like $0.25-$0.50/lb. Cheese is kind of expensive though.

>cooking

>not stealing like a based and hoodpilled black person

Yikes!!!

>>12076845
Da fuq are you talking about? You can get smaller meat portions at the butcher counter if that's your problem.

>>12076177
>Yeah maybe, if your time if worthless

Says the majority of couch potatoes who spends half their life in front of the TV watching talent shows and voyeuristic peep show manufactured drama.

This thread is why you shouldn't sleep in Home Econ kids

>>12076872

Clearly you must have some mental disorder if you find 'shitposting' more fulfilling than a life skill which impresses other people, allows you to save money, and lets you eat tasty meals every week.

>>12076925
What, you mean to say that you DON'T chug a bottle of soy sauce at every meal? Pussy

>>12076171
>boneless
>skinless
>breasts
chicken thighs with the bone in and skin on costs almost exactly the same why do this unless youre dieting?

>>12077145
you could have just said 'yes'. keep brevity in mind going forward.

>>12077170
Boneless skinless chicken thigh is even cheaper than breasts. I used to only eat chicken break, because I was raised that way. But I definitely prefer a smaller portion of chicken thigh now that I realize it's quite good.

>>12077207
yeah i agree its so fucking good. thank the Good Lord for creating chicken!

>>12077207
Chicken thighs cook a lot better. Higher fat content. For specific dishes I prefer breast but for stir fry, thigh is better.

>>12076439
No, it cheat because chickens will eat anything and can live in some pretty shitty conditions. Plus theres alway a stream on to old layer hen to turn into mcnuggets.

eEating on average more than 100g of meat per day is not normal and is only the result of a culture of excess and uncontrolled indulgence developing more quickly than the evolution of the human digestive endocrine systems are able to physically adapt to it. Being non-sedentary would raise this amount, obviously, but not to the level which would justify our meat-fetishizing society.

>>12077366
Fuck off I need muh proteins

>>12077366
So what you're saying is you don't even lift.

>>12077373
>>12077381
>Being non-sedentary would raise this amount, obviously, but not to the level which would justify our meat-fetishizing society.

I eat for about $1.80 a day.

>>12077373
there are more sources of protein than just meat. proteins are incredibly diverse and one will get better gains not by just eating tons of meat but rather by eating some meat + beans, nuts, dairies and even some hearty plants. if just eating tons of meat was in fact the key to a physical peak then you would see olympic athletes eating nothing but meat but you don't

>>12077404
>if just eating tons of meat was in fact the key to a physical peak then you would see olympic athletes eating nothing but meat but you don't
I’ve never seen such a retarded statement that refuses to acknowledge the complexities of sports dieting but pretends to know what they’re talking about
Well thanks for at least letting me know you don’t know the slightest thing about functional dieting

>>12077404
>ummm actually you shouldn't eat meat, our sick society just fetishized it
>you should eat a more natural diet.... one that includes... you know... milk :)

a verified dumbass

>>12077384
Right, you don't know what you're talking about because you don't lift.

>>12077419
??? im saying a diet for a high physically performing diet IS more complex than just shoving meat proteins down your throat

>>12077436
it's not unnatural to eat meat, animal dairy i think is a little strange but we made it work. i said it is unnatural (with relation to human biology) to eat as much of it as we do.

i swear you carnists are the moodiest bunch of tossers. nobody is trying to take your steaks away and you're right about vegans being malnourished pussies, christ

>>12077275
I just made chicken enchiladas with chicken thigh meat. It was really good. I grew up with enchiladas with canned sauce and boiled chicken breasts so I wanted to see if I could make a really good version of it without gagging, and I like the result. You can get 7lb of boneless chicken thigh meat for like $15, $10 if you get bone in at costco.

>>12076866
i do this where I just google a photo of pizza and scan it. suprisingly it works

>>12077456
I never claimed it requires “just shoving meat down your throat”. That was an incredibly shitty strawman and you should hang yourself for being so retarded. But it does require a high amount of protein. I know that a diet is more than just meat vs not meat, do you?

>>12077456
it is unnatural to eat dairy not a little strange. nice cope though. brainlets.... brainlets never change.

>>12077476
i didnt feel like writing an entire thesis about nutrition, the main takeaway is just that the average western human eats an amount of meat that is not compatible with their digestive system in the long term. as for the "strawman" comment you didn't really put up much in the way of an argument other than just telling me i'm stupid so there wasn't really much to refute. in slightly more words. you seem very angry though, i'm sorry for riling you up

>>12076201
>enough for 2 portions
how much fatso?

I've been using Target for meat lately. They'll put those $5 off coupons on meat that needs to be bought that day and it ends up as a really good deal. Just yesterday I got almost 2 pounds of chicken thighs for $3.

>>12077493
And now you’re backtracking due to claim of laziness when it’s really just retardation.. don’t bother speaking up on shit you know absolutely nothing about. “We eat too much meat :((( “. I’m angry right now because you’ll always be a retard who doesn’t shut the fuck up when you’re supposed to. Some people eat more meat reach their protein goals, your dumbass took that as meat being the only thing needed in a performance diet, whereas that obviously wasn’t the point being made
>”well you can get protein from rice and lentils :)))”
Take the carrot out of your ass and gouge your eye out with it faggot. Getting a proper amount of protein with 100g of meat or less is damn near impossible if you’re arent a dyel twink and if you don’t want to encourage on obscene amounts of extra calories
For the third and final time, kill your self you waste of space. Your brain is worth less than the turd I’m about to shit out, probably smaller as well

>>12077523
wow, you are so very very angry. there's really not anything to argue with here, just a lot of shouting and homerotic insutl flinging. this is not healthy, are you roiding or something?

>>12077493
Literally seething, lmao!

>>12077538
>lol u roiding bro
I just don’t like it when people who are too stupid to breath find a way to spread their idiocy

>>12077538
>are you roiding or something?
>/fit/fag
Tough question there.

>>12076171
>$9
>not $3 more than 2 full size red baron pizzas

>>12076193
t. Fatass that eats a full pizza in one sitting

>>12077685
waste not a bite

>>12076148
>meat is more expensive than flour
whoa...

>>12076955
why would he need to get fit to sucker punch a girl

>meat alone costs more than 2 pizzas
have fun getting 90% of your calories from carbohydrates nerd

>>12077705
Retard pizza’s the easiest thing to preserve and eat leftovers of ever

>>12077207
Holy shit, this. Thighs are honestly based, I always wondered why chinese chicken was so tender and breasts were always so fucking dry. Learning it was thighs when I was really young was a godsend.

>>12078701
Season them with onion powder, garlic powder, chipotle powder, cinnamon, salt and pepper then grill.

It is if you don't live in yankland.

>>12076148
You can get steak for 5 or 6 bucks a pound. That's a huge slice for 2 people or a good slice for 3 people.

>>12076148
>all ingredients cost the same as 4 VERY shitty pizzas
>can make now at least 4 good pizzas
>somehow at a loss

>>12076201
Where do you live that 2 full pizzas costs only 2.29€??? I just bought 2 mediums last night for 27 CAD

>>12076148
Healthy ingredients are cheaper, especially if you look at look term costs. Quality of life will significantly increase when eating self cooked meals (as they tend to be healthier on average). Health increases which will drive down costs related to injury/sickness.

>>12076148
yikes

>>12077523
Quit juicing man

>>12080496
nobody's "home made" pizza tastes as good as any chain pizza. if it did, they'd start selling it, but they don't, because it's crap.
they just FEEL it's better because they're basically women, and put the time and effort in to buy ingredients (the same ones that chains use) and proof dough and get an oven that's NOT QUITE as good as a standard pizza oven.

>>12077366
Fuck you I like meat

>>12076148
serving of chicken breast (150g) costs around $2.50
two pizzas cost $8.70

Pizzas are 3.5 times MORE expensive than chicken breast. Admittedly, not everyone is buying chicken breast, but it's probably the most common meat out there. Even 150g of steak is like $6.

>>12082432
>Canadian meat prices

>>12082259
yeah dont really know what u talkinbout.

>>12082259
I appreciate your point but this is like trying to convince a schizophrenic that God doesn't want them to murder people dogs bark at. You just can't get it through to them.

>>12076148
would it surprise you to hear that pizza doesn't have much meat on it?

>>12078372
since when does revenge universally begin and end with violence?

>>12082432
Chicken breast around here costs around $1.99 a pound or for you Canukistanis around $1 per KG. Maybe you should consider moving
to someplace that isn't a third world shithole?

>>12082591
At least I can convert pounds to kilograms...

>>12076825
>>12076853
>>12076972
>Leftovers

Sure because eating the same shit multiple times in a row is so much fun and not at all pathetic and depressing
>Muh freeze it
Food always tastes much worse when you do that. No exceptions.

Cooking for one is a loss.

>>12083021
>eating the same food two days in a row
wow, what a truly horrifying experience.

>bread
>tomato paste
>cheese
>whatever
why should it be expensive

>>12077170
They're way cheaper (and better) than breasts. My local grocery store runs specials on thighs and drumsticks frequently where they're marked down to 70 cents per pound.

>>12083021
>>Sure because eating the same shit multiple times in a row is so much fun and not at all pathetic and depressing
I cook a stew on the weekend and eat it the entire week until saturday. I have absolutely zero complaints about the fact.

>>12076148
buy chicken instead, retard

>>12083021
>>Muh freeze it
>Food always tastes much worse when you do that. No exceptions.
Nigga you ever had a bolognese, chili or stew?

Freeze the protein/veg, cook the carb is my motto

>>12077675
Technically those chicken breasts would be like a few meals

>>12083021
Good food is good whenever.

>>12076148
a whole uncooked chicken costs like $5, which is half the price of a cooked rotisserie chicken.

The only thing thing you lose with cooking is time.

>>12076478
I got 2 lbs of 80/20 ground beef the other day for like 2.50 a lb

>>12084041
then you have a broken palate and are doing it wrong. freezing degrades the quality. if anything, meat should be the freshest and you should freeze the shittier things like carbs or vegetables.

>>12084173
>freezing degrades the quality.

>>12082259
>nobody's "home made" pizza tastes as good as any chain pizza. if it did, they'd start selling it, but they don't, because it's crap.
This is your brain on America, ladies and gents, there's no such thing as a "good thing you can't buy".
>they just FEEL it's better because they're basically women, and put the time and effort in to buy ingredients (the same ones that chains use) and proof dough and get an oven that's NOT QUITE as good as a standard pizza oven
Keep projecting, lad, you sure will make it to the cooking industry like that

>>12077170
You cannot eat a bone and skin is disgusting. The bone is useless weight you're paying extra for.

>>12076872
>>12077179
if "shitposting" is considered your primary hobby please just remove yourself from the gene pool

>>12085182
>skin is disgusting

maybe if your a literal tastelet, fuck off from /ck/ and go eat your chikkie nuggies

also bones give so much more flavor to the meat

>>12084185
basic biology. freezing of water causes cells to lyse which objectively degrades quality

>>12085189
>muh gross parts

There is zero chance you're not a landwhale.

>>12085226

there is zero chance your diet is not 100% bland hick food from walmart and yet youre STILL fat as hell
