That's easily less than $2 even including tax.

This infographic is as old as the fucking internet.
This chart alone kept me fed in my alcoholic years.

>>14119361
Yeah these are ancient. Since the dawn of webms and Tasty-style top-down cooking videos they've died off completely.

>>14119352
I'm well aware, I've been here for years. It doesn't make it any less garbage, cupcake.

>>14119370
What's so "garbage" about it?

Nothing. It's fine. Amped up ramen is delicious and easy and cheap.

>>14119370
What really makes it better is adding just enough water so it gets completely absorbed and then dousing it in a ton of oil. Extra spices/ingredients are still required, but honestly that's the only way I can get this stuff down.

>"what's garbage about shit-tier nutrition slung together by manbabies with no actual cooking skills?"
I'm gonna let you puzzle that one out, Sherlock.

Ramen is no better than any other carb base.

Fuck off and find something else to piss and moan about

For me, Its the McChicken.

as someone who ate rice butter and cayenne pepper as a meal for like 5 years of my adult life this thread is making me feel like an inbred

I don't think I've ever encountered someone who'd been here for longer than one year who claimed to have "been here for years", but enjoy your second summer here!

Don't you have a 10th grade biology Zoom class to get back to or something? I wouldn't take credit for a Top Ramen thread anyway

>rice cooked alone
great
>lentils cooked alone
great
>both cooked in the same rice cooker
why is this so fucking bad can science explain this shit yet

>he called me kiddo I'm gonna tell him to get back to class!
adult children are dregs lol. kys

>>14119457
Because they have different cooking times and behave differently.

Besides, how good can lentils cooked alongside rice be anyway? I usually make mine in at least a heavily flavored broth with aromatics. Just cook that separately and serve on the rice.

>>14119473
They're not good and they create a starch explosion together. It's unpleasant in every way.

I mean I can infer that it's curry powder, but why not fucking say that? Goddamn pajeet recipes.

>>14119498
I disagree
Bisi bele bath is awesome

Adding cans of baked beans to chili...fuck I thought my gfs boomer dad was the only one who did this. It's gonna be sweet

>>14119738
He should have instead used the original ingredients to make a bad ass meatloaf

>>14119830
Curry powder, cardamom, ginger powder, salt, and Sazonador

>>14119352
this is true but i like to think the oldfrogs still on this board have moved past this infantile level of cooking ability

Let's see... Roast chicken leg quarter (29c per serving) + sauteed mature spinach with garlic (55c) + homemade chicken gravy (13c) + cauliflower mashed potato (75c) = din dins at only $1.70 per plate.

Another option: carrot bisque. That would be only a buck per serving. If I make chicken meatballs with it, the price goes up to $1.70.

Your gfs dad is a smart guy, she might be marriage material.

Not in Canada. Box of KD is almost $4 plus PST, GST, and HST cause in a communist regime you gotta pay. Back of peas or even a can is more than $2 and again plus PST, GST and HST. In total around $8-12 for KD w/peas. Don’t forget the milk and butter too, so now we’re talkin bout $18-23 depending on your whereabouts in the communist regime known as Canada.

My state has a grocery tax which we'll need to account for at 0.125% (why so low, I have no idea, it barely affects anything). I'm pretty average at math, so point fingers and laugh if I make a mistake. Also, prices are going to vary widely. If you don't agree with something, eat a dick.

Where I live, it's not unusual to find a head of cabbage for 3/$1 and they'll let you buy one for $0.33. It looks like it's priced for a sale, but it's not.

That leaves $1.67 and produces a shocking amount of food. Next I'd grab a package of the absolute most bottom-tier package of hot dogs for $1-1.25. We're going to go with the worst case scenario, $1.25 (which I just price checked), and it's going to fuck us down to $0.42.

Ramen will range you anywhere from $0.11 to $0.25 a package. I haven't seen that $0.11 price in awhile, but I've also stopped going to Walmart and other "bargain" stores. I've seen it as recently as little as $0.14/pkg. And a quick search seems to suggest that's pretty close. I'm going to select it as our price because 42 is perfectly divisible by 14 and that is a happy little accident. That means we could afford 3 packages if we didn't have Uncle Sam squeezing our tit. Can we afford three?

Well, we've currently spent $1.86 and that leaves 14 cents. Is 14 less than 0.125% of $1.86? Yes. In fact, it's not even a penny. I'm not sure if it rounds up, but if it doesn't, then shit, let's get 3 packages and set one back if we can't afford it. 0.125% of $2 still isn't a penny (It's like 3/10 of a penny) so you may be able to pull it off.

What the fuck have we made? There's this dude on YouTube who has reviewed more than 6600 different ramen packages and is steadily making more. His channel is 14 years old. In a lot of the older ones, he makes a package of ramen with a hot dog and a leaf of cabbage. He is the true and rightful king of /ck/.

Another suggestion: Pork in tomato curry.
Pork is currently $2.99/lb. That's 67c/serving.
Tomatoes are 99c/lb. That's 22c/serving.
Onions are 11c/serving.
Garlic is 5c/serving.
Ginger is 5c/serving.
Chiles are 10c/serving.
Curry powder is like 20c/serving.
Rice is about 14c/serving.
Stock cube is 8c/serving.
Tomato juice is 15c/serving.
If you render the pork's own fat as a cooking fat, the price is $1.77/serving. Otherwise, butter will set you back an additional 20c per serving.
