/ck/ - Food & Cooking

the heat of the rice cooks the egg

Just boil cornmeal and eat it 3 times a day. You can survive on $.20 per day.

Cabbage and potatoes (requires butter)

You'll be too lethargic from eating nothing but polenta for the past 5 years. It will in fact be me who eats you. My plump little corn fed man chicken.

>>18181872
i once survived 2 months eating only chimichurri and toast. i got to skeleton but i didnt stoop to eat poultry feed. ill empty your skull and fry it when shit goes down nigger.

>>18181879
>plump corn fed man chicken

Kek. Like a hog before the slaughter.
Bean and bacon soup is also cheap. Especially if you buy those packs of "end pieces" that are typically half the price of strip bacon.

Chicken thighs are about $2/lb and legs are as cheap as $1/lb. Rice is about the cheapest calorie in the world. $9 for 20lbs at Walmart. Substantially cheaper if bought in 50lb sacks.

My favorite budget food is frying noodles with eggs, soy sauce and throw whatever else I can find, be it leftovers or not.

Toasted PBJ sandwich
Bananas
Rice and beans
Buy chicken whole and roast the whole thing, portion and freeze
Soups/ stews

>>18181942
Toast with PB and pancake syrup is good as fuck

>>18181860
I'll take 'What is Pellagra" for $10, please.

If you're game for stealing and hustling sauce packets, you can make algio e olio for almost free.

>go to pizza hut and say your wife forgot to get parmesan
>go to subway and claim you forgot to get olive oil packets
>pasta is free and plentiful at every food pantry in America
>buy or steal a bulb of garlic

>>18181992
Also Wawa has honey packets. Honey and peanut butter on toast is the shit.

>>18181813
Okay faggot, we have these threads on the reg. Here's some TRUTH fo you to accepts.

You need animal protein, good fatty acids, complex carbs, vitamins/minerals, and fibre.

Breakfast: rolled oats simmered in milk, add salt and butter to taste. You can add cinnamon and sugar if you're a pussy. Mix in an egg if you want to boost protein.
Lunch: canned herring or sardines on toast and an apple or orange.
Dinner: roast turkey leg with roast broccoli or cauliflower. Substitute 5 chicken drums if turkey unavailable. Add rice if more carbs needed (or even better more oats).

There. Hope you're happy.

>>18182021
You literally don't need "complex carbs", at least when referring to your starches. You can eat a chicken leg, a small potato and a shitload of rice and survive indefinitely.

>>18182028
I like that you eat oats with butter and salt, though

>>18181813
Lived off just flour for awhile, just make flatbread and if you have spices you can make ""soup"" to dip in.
If you got baking soda + flour you can make biscuits.

I've also lived off only maple syrup for a couple weeks, it's great if you like diarrhea

>>18181958
Its spelled "polenta" retard

Indian cuisine for me
I use tomato paste instead of fresh tomatoes, bulk spices from Indian grocery stores, onions are cheap, ginger/garlic I get fresh but you could buy ginger+garlic paste if you want, oil is cheap, rice is cheap, lentils are cheap
I grow coriander and chillies

>>18182188
>Oil is cheap
Gutter goyslop seed oils are nearly 300% more expensive around me than they were two years ago. Idk what magical place you live in

>>18182194
Armour lard is $2 per pound at Walmart . Its hydrogenated, though. Not sure if that is a bad thing, though.

>>18182202
I switched full time to real non-hydrogenated lard and tallow for cooking this year. Seed oils have increased in price so significantly that animal fats are not much more money and infinitely more healthy and yummy

>>18182194
>>18182219
Well oil still has a place imo and I don't buy into the hype about seed oil
I cook Indian food with ghee but I figure that since this is a budget thread it was better to not mention it
Anyway I feel like I've already talked to you before, I say I'm Australian and you say that you're idk where but lard is very cheap for you and I get jealous and that's it

>>18182219
It really does make things taste better.

An egg cooked in lard, butter or bacon grease is delicious. An egg cooked in vegetable oil is fucking shit. Im not even a seed oil conspiracy theorist. I just think they taste worse than animal fats.

>>18181879

>>18181813
EGG
MILK
POTATO
i eat them

>>18181879

>>18181824
Does this actually work anon?

Pork shoulder
Cut into portions
Bag up and freeze

>>18182246
Yeah in the sense that it does sort of cook the egg to make it taste good. But it's not enough if you're eating American eggs that have been washed because the washing process removes a layer of the eggshell and makes it easier for bacteria to get in, in exchange for removing whatever nasty shit is usually on the egg.
This shouldn't normally be an issue because the bacteria issue is fixed by cooking the damn thing. But iirc the heat from the rice does not actually cook the egg and make it safe. Japs and euros can do it, Americans shouldn.t

>>18181813
>spending $4 each on cans of tuna
ngmi

Bulk stuff and refrigerate\meal prep for the week
-Legumes
-frozen veg (if cost less than canned)
-late buying in markets (it really depends on where you live)
-Eggs, they last 2 weeks in your fridge.

>>18182187
i hope you're being a smartass with a joke to names

>>18182418
What
four dollars?

>>18182418
Chunk White is $1.22/can and Solid White is about $1.60/can. 29g protein and only 130 calories. Add a boiled egg and 1 piece of rye toast (obviously make a salad with mayo, horseradish, dill, pepper, whatever...) and you have a very filling meal for $2.25 USD.

>>18182906
that's like 300 calories for the whole meal
not saying it's not good value, but it's definitely not enough energy for an adult

>>18181813
Larb. It's a cold Laotian meat salad. I make it with fried Spam, dry-roasted rice, fried Carrots, Lemonjuice and Fish sauce.

>>18182417
>washing process removes a layer of the eggshell
Didn't know this anon. They wash eggs in the UK too. But I actually prefer it.

>>18183417
Everywhere washes eggs or they'd be covered in shit. The detergent is what's different.

>>18182173

Incredibly based. I wonder what caused the runs.

>>18181958
>>18181860
Eat hominy or you will get health issues from eating too much untreated corn

I make chana masala. I keep a drawer stocked with whole spices, so the only expense is, generally, onions and tomatoes.

Volunteer at a place where you feed the homeless and stock up on shit while your there it totally allowed and free.

Sugar absorbs water and doesn't stay solid.

>>18182906
whats the point when you can get pork sausages for $8 for 4lb?

>>18182246
It does not cook the egg, but it warms it up.

American eggs should be very very fresh. Since everyone in my area buys their eggs at the gas station, and they get resupplied daily (I regularly see the egg shelf sold out in the evening), I don't worry.

Walmart eggs are not nearly fresh enough.

If your eggs are not fresh enough to eat raw, you can fry the egg before putting it on top of the rice. Not the same, but not bad - but you would have to cook the egg.

Why is everyone on this board so goddamn poor

>>18186520
>expecting your average adult poster on 4chan to be anything but poor
>>18181813
Lentil and chickpea curries with rice. You can buy a giant sack of all of these that will last forever for very cheap. The main expense in making it is the onions and cauliflower/potatoes/tomatoes if you want to add them. Just splurge on spices and you can eat it very cheap

>>18186520
If you can afford to eat at restaurants 4 meals a day, you don't need to learn to cook.
You can just point to the menu and grunt your demands.

there, you've made a corn soup. if you have some chicken to add that's chicken and corn soup.

>>18182938
>like 300 calories
You are spot on. It has been a go-to lunch for me since I started working out and lost nearly 30 lbs almost 2 years ago. If I am super hungry, I can add another boiled egg or even another can of tuna. That will fill me up for very long time. I usually eat a 300-400 calorie breakfast and lunch and have what I want for dinner. If I am working out a lot, I will throw in a 250 calorie protein shake after I work out, too.

>>18181992
you can just get a job you dumb shit
