>>15946672
What's a sloppa?

>>15946684
Nothing much, man, what's a sloppa wit u?

>>15946685
Urban dictionary came through for me lol

carb + protein, make a big batch.
if you want to eat more meals a day buy baguettes and fill them with cured meats, olive oial and cheeses for a snack between the main meals.

I thought welding wasnt that physically demanding dont u just hold a torch on metal?

>>15946713
It's very physically demanding, I'm a production welder. I have to pick up parts ranging from 50-80 lbs, load them in a fixture, then it's basically hot yoga with a helmet on.

>>15946668
How many meals are you interested in? Do you have access to something to heat your food up in? Would eating with your hands be an issue due to cleanliness (sandwiches or wraps for example)?

Crab cakes

>>15946808
Also do you have fridge access? When I was younger I used to help my dad on his worksites and most of the time the food for the day was a nut bar and packet of soup or cup noodles for morning tea then for lunch sandwiches or tortilla wraps with peanut butter, jam or canned tuna, maybe a small packet of chips. Usually had some apples or oranges as well.
If you have fridge access then just cook some chicken breasts or thighs the night before and eat them cold if you can't heat them up, 1 or 2 boiled eggs and some salad plus some the stuff I listed above. If you're doing 10 hours days, I'd probably start with a decent sized bread roll with butter and cheese that you eat on the way to work or right before you start.

I wonder if welders would benefit from a diet extra high in vitamin A.
Even with the helmet it's gotta be rough on the eyes in the long run.

Bacon, egg, and cheese bagels are my favorite for hard work days. You can make up a bunch of them, wrap them in foil, and freeze them. Grab 2 as you're heading out the door.
They have lots of calories, protein, fat, taste good, and can be eaten with one hand and cold.

My dad used to be a loadmaster, which is definitely less physically demanding than production welding, but he'd take a couple of corned beef sandwiches, a flask of strong black coffee, cornish pasty and a couple of apples.

>>15946908
I have access to all those things, I wash my hands before I eat so it's not an issue

>>15946808
2 ideally. Also I appreciate all you guys giving me ideas. Corned beef sandwiches sound good as hell right about now

>>15946668
What’s your waist size?

>>15946685

>>15946908
The bread roll is a very good idea, I usually feel tapped like 45 mins before the first break

>>15946966
36 waist, but I weigh 220 and I'm 6'6

Find 36-38 pants is not easy

>>15946668
>I'm a welder and would like some recipes that keep me going through the 10 hr work days.
>I'm not a picky eater
Tibetan butter tea, caffeine and fat. Doesn't tasty very good unless really hot. But it keeps you up during the night.
Peanut butter rye sandwich with lotsa meat inside it.

>>15946985
Is peanut butter with meat a thing?

>>15946668

>>15947005
that's all that came to mind, first one is "paella de marisco", you can add boneless chicken to it

>>15947016
try researching it a bit, it most likely requires spanish inlay which might be hard to get outside of spain

Simple and functional sloppa:

In a large pot, sear onion. When it starts to brown add minced garlic, fresh chili and some spices like cumin, coriander (like chili style spices) sear for like a minute then add ground beef. You can turn up the heat a bit and sear it until the beef is kinda cooked and starts to brown. Add a can of chopped tomatoes and cook. You want to cook of some liquid from the tomatoes. Towards the end you dump cans of kidney and black beans or what ever you like and just cook it for a little while. Also cook a suitable amount of rice and then you can mix it all together for some worksloppa. If you use a large pot you can make a lot so it'll last some days. Pack it up in containers. Eat with some veggies if you like, grate some carrot, sweet green peas, broccoli or whatever

>>15947018
yes, you're right, those are probably the best pics I could get, these are perfected by grandmas over here, everyone else just does its own version, but they're thought for a long day of work imo, ... and probably a siesta too hahaha

>>15947020
Oh yeah, use whole grain rice it'll keep you full longer

>>15947023
How much is a plane ticket from North Carolina to Spain? I'll eat all the grandma's onto bankruptcy in a single weekend

>>15947036
1-2k would be my guess, maybe you can find some discount or offer though. But do your research cause there's plenty of places serving "classic" spanish food, but very few do it right.

>>15947042
>>15947036
Some of them take hours to cook, so maybe that's partly why.

>>15947020
Thanks dude, I wrote this down. It seems like some last minute cooking, which is definitely my style.

CUM

>>15947047
Damnit.

these should be relatively quick, specially the arroz a la cubana one

>>15947059
I'm going to start crashing quinceanears for the food. Authentic spanish food is so damn good.

>>15947076
Sorry for typos I'm using my phone and have big dumb fingers

>>15947048
Got another one. Cube up some beef chuck in like 1 inch cube. Give them a sear them brown (you can cheat and skip this step, it'll effect the taste but seeing meat is fucking boring). Put in a large pot, add beef stock/water + stock cube, black pepper corn, bay leaf and quartered onion. You don't need to finely chop the onion because it will dissolve. Now you simmer this for like 1-2 hours or even longer. Time doesn't really matter the meat isn't sensitive at all, do it until the meat becomes soft and starts falling apart. Towards the end you add chopped potatoes and carrots, make them kinda the same size as the meat. Simmer until the get soft, it'll be like 20 minutes or so, you'll see. Note that when you take the pot off the stove it'll still be hot for quite a while so the potatoes and carrots will after cook, so don't let them become too soft before you take if the heat, unless you like that. Wa la, simple stew

>>15946668
Have you tried chokon OP?

>>15947048
If that's your speed, you might also want to consider lentils and bacon.

>late night lazy-man version, with canned cooked lentils, alternative version with a bacon joint and dried lentils may follow if I can be bothered
6-8 oz bacon, chopped
Large onion, diced or sliced thinly
(optional) half-glass of red wine
2 cans cooked lentils, drained (about 16 oz)
Small can tomato paste (the little 6oz cans, though you can use a full sized can of tomato sauce, and just might end up with things needing longer to simmer down)
Some sort of instant bouillon
Dried rosemary
Dried thyme
Dried marjoram (or oregano)

Heat oil in a saute pan, or a deep skillet, and fry some chopped bacon to slightly more crisp than you usually like it (if you like it completely crisp, then just stop there, obviously don't burn it). Remove the bacon and set aside for later. Fry the onions until they're starting to brown. If using, add the wine to deglaze and let it reduce by half, otherwise deglaze with a dash of water and the residual water off the lentils. Add the lentils (scrape pan to deglaze if not using wine) then tomato paste and cook for ~5 minutes, keeping it moving to cook off the raw taste from the tomatoes. Add enough water to make a thick-ish liquid, add back the bacon, season with bouillon and add 1-2 tsp of each herb, based on your preference; I go hard on thyme and light on marjoram. If using a can of sauce instead of paste, it will probably be a bit thin at this point, so may need longer to simmer. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes until it's getting to a thick stew-like consistency. Transfer to a container and leave to cool before moving it to the fridge. It doesn't have enough time cooking for the ingredients to combine fully, it's literally meant to be eaten the next few days. Eat with bread and cheese.

>>15947112
Did you teach yourself how to cook? Maybe I'm a retard but seemingly simple stuff like this has never even crossed my mind. I've been living off sandwiches and like baked chicken/fish for the past 6 years. I'm 26. Lol

>>15947125
Oh, season with pepper towards the end of simmering, and see if it needs more salt (depends on the bouillon)

>>15947125
Saved. Thank you! Does the dry lentil version taste better? I can't believe I've been lurking 4chan for as long as I have and have never come to this board. You guys are the shit.

>>15947112
Also, when you start boiling the meat there'll probably be some white/greyish foam on the water in the begining, you just remove that with a spoon

>>15947076
>>15947078
quinceañeras don't know how to cook trust me on that, I mean there'd be an exceptio to the rule somewhere, but the rule is the rule

>>15947144
The dry lentil version is different. The biggest advantage is that you can basically make as much as your biggest pot will hold and then freeze it. It also produces excess cooked bacon joint (basically boiled ham), which you can keep in the fridge and use for sandwiches.

>>15947158
I've only been to one and they had mole, but also I was retarded high, and it felt like an orgasm in my mouth. No homo.

>>15947158
>quinceañeras can't cook
No shit, they're only 15...

>>15947165
How did you learn to cook? Or was it trial and error? I learn things almost exclusively the hard way

>>15947169
spanish food isn't latin american food, eventhought there is a connection, we share some and we have our own diferent things too, what I showed you is spanish food from spain, not latin america

>>15947172
The 15 year olds aren't the ones cooking lmao

>>15947177
Im only going to (possibly) partially show my ignorance. You guys speak the same language but the culture is different?

>>15947178
>hurr they are the 15 olds
Fuck off to buzzfeed or wherever, fucking reddit wont have you evennwith theirs hit

>>15946689
I'm betting the retard that keeps spamming that word probably added it to UD himself.

>>15947184
well their language is a mixture from spanish and their own indigenous language in a way, it's like america and UK so you get the picture., culture has similarities but is off course different, and the food, we seem to share some, but I don't think there are many if at all latin american food in spain, other than the obvious that we use peppers, tomatos, potatos a lot

>>15947188

>>15947193
Ohh alright. I see what you mean.

>>15947173
My mother cooked with me as a child, and that gave me the basic skills to go on the internet for inspiration and then make up a dish along the lines of what I feel like.

The bacon joint version is a recipe in multiple parts, because you'll make a very strong cooking liquid first, then use that to rehydrate lentils, then finish turning it into a stew the next day. The downside is that it's pretty hard to find bacon joints in a lot of places. You are looking for collar or fore-end pork joints, cured and cold-smoked, does that sound like something you could hunt down?

The basic procedure is to cook the joint with aromatics, remove the cooked meat, strain the liquid, cook the lentils in the liquid, cook fresh aromatics for the stew base, puree the fat off the cooked meat, combine with the lentils and cook back up together with the fresh aromatics. It's basically a very tasty puree when you're done, to which you then add chopped meat and eat with crusty bread.

>>15946668
Oatmeal of your choosing for breakfast, fruit + cottage cheese or hard boiled egg for lunch. Snacks can be handfuls of nuts like cashew, or a premade cup of quinoa (I fucking hate that stuff alone and you probably will too.. so add shit to it there's plenty of those recipes online). You will never feel hungry, but may never shit again unless you balance it out.

>>15947262
Honestly I didn't even know collar or fore-end pork joints were a thing to be bought. I'm sure I could find them by visiting local butchers, but that does sound like a pain in the ass.

>>15946668

>>15947295

>>15947295
How do neets even afford food?

>>15947128
Kind of, I read recipies to get a general idea of what works together, how long it cook for etc. Then I learn what works by doing, what to add, what to remove. I'm one of those who never care about amounts in recipies. That I learn by doing, how much of each spice etc.

>>15947017
Elaborate?

>>15947276
>a pain in the ass.
Which kinda defeats the point. Ham hocks are fine too, but slightly more work, and they both have less meat and are almost always on the bone, which makes them less good for sitting in the fridge as sandwich-meat.

Frankly, I'm assuming you're American, because most of 4chan is, which means you could also look for a smoked country ham, which I understand to be a southern US thing. If you have Irish or German heritage communities then their butchers are also a good bet.

>>15947313
You nailed it, I am in the southern us, and also there is a german family owned butcher maybe 20 or 30 minutes away from where I'm at. My friends always talk about it but there's also like 3 butchers within 15 minutes of me. I'll go check it out and see what they have

>>15947295

>>15947326
If they're russian immigrant germans you should also ask them if they know anyone selling bierocks, which are basically a yeasted dough filled with beef and cabbage, which makes them one of the best portable meals a welder could ask for.

>>15947304
Many stupid people spend far more on food that is necessary.
>carbs
Carbs cost nothing, empty carbs are fine.
>protien
Protein doesn't just come from meat, people typically eat far too much meat, you can get most if not all your protein from beans or tofu (a bean product), or eggs.
Meatards say meat has micronutients- this is true but you only need a tiny amount of meat to get those micro nutrients.
I eat less than 300g of meat a week, but a kilo of tofu and a kilo of dried beans.
>fiber
Then you need to process this, that means fiber.
Most Americans in particular just shit out what they eat undigested because their diet is totally devoid of fiber.
Americans shart in the mart, bowel problems are chronic in America- the reason is no fiber.
>nutrients
What else do you need?
Well you might want some tinned fish,

Then supplements, if for what ever reason you don't meet your micro-nutrients by accident:
Iodized salt
Bottled lemon juice
Any kind of pickle


This whole field of science is a farce, on one had you have an endless legions of shills.
Dairy is not needed in your died, calcium is not a macro-nutrient, it's just a stupid way of getting carbs (unless you actually own animals)

>>15947391
That sounds good as fuck. I will definitely ask. I have a soft spot for all things cabbage related, especially sauerkraut

>>15947448
Look up recipes for jota and bigos, these are my two favorite stews that use sauerkraut as a base (they're so variable that I don't think I could give instructions easily, so just grab a recipe online)

>>15947311
Good cheese is expensive

>>15947477
>Good cheese is expensive
And good bread is cheap. $2.00 for a loaf of bread, then $4 for cheese. That's like... 1/4 lb of really good cheese, or half a pound of quality cheddar.

>>15947295
>red kidney beans are poisonous unless cooked
Did not know this

>>15947498
All common beans are, technically, poisonous raw. It's just that kidney beans are the only ones where the amount in the bean is high enough to be a problem (even canellini has less than third what red kidney beans have, despite being the same type of bean). 3 minutes boiling reduces the poison amount by half (after hydration, that is) so 15 minutes is more than enough to not care anymore. People do regularly poison themselves with slow-cooker recipes that call for kidney beans though, because at slow cooker temperatures it takes over 80 minutes to reduce by half.

>>15947498
Many people don't- because they only eat pre-cooked and pre-processed shit.
The classic is putting dry beans in a electric cooker of some kind, not cooking them because they aren't even re-hydrated and poisoning yourself eating half raw beans.

>>15947520
>It's just that kidney beans are the only ones
This is very bad advice, while kidney beans are the main offender the volume of kidney beans which is consumed makes the risk very real.
There are not many things which are poisonous that a person might realistically eat a whole cup of- uncooked beans are one of them.

You're right though that the cause is typically failing to re-hydrate the beans, and cooking them under their boiling point.

>>15947295

based bean neet, give us more recipes

>>15946668
>keep me going through 10 hours of welding
simple as. might need to go out on lunch and get another.

>>15947527
well I just cook my beans, I've never been poisoned

>>15947646
If they are fresh beans and you boil them, fine.
If they are canned they are pre-cooked, also fine.
If you re-hydrate then cook them, fine.

But if you try to rehydrate and cook them in one step or add dried beans directly to a stew? Bad problems.

>>15946668
I work similar hours. I water fast Monday to Friday and eat on the weekends. To prevent side-effects, water fasting must be topped with salt, mag, potassium (a spoon of no-salt/potassium citrate) - electrolytes. Food gets in the way of work, I find.

>>15946668
Litterally anything... I'm a welder and it's really not that physically demanding of a job.

Hey I'm a welder. Make whatever you want and eat it. In the summer drink water and get one of those half coats so you don't die. It's not a demanding job it just gets hot

>>15947612

Forklift manufacturer

>>15950201
Incredibly based. It takes such a bad dude to be a Forklift Operator. Imagine being the guy that actually MAKES them.

>>15950245
I actually bought one of those meme shirts for the forklift driver that brings me parts. He never wears it. Lol

OP, I have your answer. Cholent.

Chuck meat, potatoes, beans, tomato paste, bay leaves, wine (if you can) and cook slowly for a day. Make lots.

It is a recipe that can last a week, is incredibly tasty and gets better the more you leave it in the fridge.

Looks ugly tho

Welp I gotta get to it boys

>>15946793
Been there done that bud. Its yoga that burns you. I welded big pipe in position in power plants. DESU I usually ate coffee for breakfast, nothing for lunch and then a big portion of protein (steak or pork) and veggies and a starch for dinner. I always found that eating during my shift always slowed me down.

for u /ck/
I know these recipes are poorly written, but nobody has time for walls of text.

>>15946991
when i was big into hiking/backpacking I'd pack tortillas, peanut butter, some honey, cheese, and peperonis. id slap it all together and eat if for lunch. it sounds kind of awful but its really not bad especially after a long day onna trail
