If you were a chef that was in charge of a prison cafeteria, what would you serve the inmates as dinner on a weekly basis? Three rules:
1. The meals have to be nutritious enough to stay healthy.
2. The meals have to be as cheaply as possible to make.
3. You're not allowed to serve the exact same meals every day. Miniscule variations are allowed though.

Nutraloaf from all 50 states. It's a geography lesson and a meal in one!

[Anonymous No.19957936]

The cheapest mac and cheese I could get away with, rice and beans, really cheap pasta or potatoes for starch, shitty pre-scrambled eggs in a jug and toast for breakfast. No real meat.

why on earth would a for-profit prison system that subcontracts food to another for-profit company give a single shit about items 1 or 3? answer: they don't

[Anonymous No.19957943]

Punish them by serving jeet food. It’s jail after all and not Club Med.

[Anonymous No.19957944]

The first is a legal requirement but item three isn't. Inmates have sued and won on the first item but courts don't give a shirt about the third item.

well you see, i would make kibble using oat flour, dried potato flakes, and dried milk powder, then i would add different spices to each batch, but never more than 1, do you want pepper kibble? salt kibble? paprika kibble? mustard kibble? take your pick, has all the nutrients you need to stay alive for extended periods of time, though you won't be happy

[Anonymous No.19957975]

rice and beans
chana masala and rice with naan
mystery meat gumbo and rice, cornbread
bean and cheese burritos
egg fried rice with powdered egg
chicken and dumplings
creamed ground beef on toast
chicken and gravy over biscuits or dumplings
powdered egg breakfast burritos
black bean dip and fritos, hot sauce
taco salad (no meat, just beans)
chili with beans

I could go on but I'm confident I could run a prison kitchen for 1/5 the price they pay for Sysco food and the food would taste better and be healthier.

i forgot what cooking faggot on youtube post about alcatrazz how the warden figured that if you keep the prisoners well fed with tasty food the prisoners are more likely to stay in order with high morale. I know that if i was fed this shit i would start flipping my shit and making pee/shit buckets to disrupt the staff.

Baked potatoes with butter. Variations are different herbs/spices (Cajun potato, curry potato, etc.)

It’s dirt cheap and they’ve got all the basic nutrients they’d need.

It was the Tasting History homo that had a recent video on Alcatraz food. Of course a big part of why the Alcatraz prisoners got fed well is that to simplify the logistics of bringing food onto an island they had the guards eating the same food as the prisoners. Also the rest of Alcatraz was really shitty, so the food was the only good thing the prisoners had; that also made it an easy thing to take away if a prisoner was misbehaving.

They could take as much food as they wanted with just one rule. You eat what you take. Break this rule and you're going into Solitary Confinement +1. You went there also for speaking. I believe you had one hour on a Saturday to talk to other inmates.
They also did some other unconventional stuff like having the water in the showers be hot but almost too hot. The reasoning behind this was that if a prisoner manages to escape he will have a very hard swimming to land, being conditioned to only hot water. Who knows if this has much basis in reality.

If that's the 100% complete recipe with no other goy additives like they do for frozen dinners, then prisoners unironically eat healthier than the rest of the goyim. It's probably mildly tastier too.

daily gruel.
calorie controlled so they are food motivated and don't get too rowdy or too big.
i would also add feminising agents to stop them from being aggressive. stuff like soy, sneed oil etc.

huh?

[Anonymous No.19963496]

The problem is that in the US, prison is designed to be a grueling, suffering experience. Making 'acceptable' food in bulk isn't expensive, but many US prisons will spend more to serve garbage. Bulk no-name pasta, bulk no-name canned tomato sauce, and frozen ground meat can feed an army of people for very little money. Bulk dried beans, bulk rice, and frozen veggies are not expensive items; you have unpaid 'staff' who can cook and clean.

Pasta, "burrito bowls", chili... the basic raw ingredients can be very easily obtained.

There have been claims going back for decades that saltpeter consumption reduces libedo or causing impotence, and that prisons or military boot camps were putting it in the food for that reason. The veracity of those claims is highly disputed, with no actual published studies showing saltpeter to have that effect.

Really depends. If they are short term, absolute dog shit worst tasting blandest most depressing fucking food stuff on the planet. If they are in for the long haul or life, bruddy gud food. They have little to nothing to lose and having shitty food might send them over the edge. Make them more violent or prone to it. If they can't be reformed then I want them complacent. If they are only visiting I want it to be a vivid memory of how much shit sucks.

I don't eat sausages at all anymore because 14 years ago I was in jail for 8 months and there was some type of sausage for 7 out of the 12 meals a week we got in the dorm.
Usually it was just regular sausages labeled as a different type on the menu posted on the wall by the guard glass enclosure
>the farmer sausage looked and tasted exactly the same as the polish sausage from days before
>often the "breakfast sausage" was just vertically cut in half sausage that was the same as last nights "Mennonite sausage"
>pork and beans was beans with cubed pieces of sausage mixed in
>cut up sausage with perogies
>sloppy joe made with cubed pre-cooked sausages
>4 pack of ramen noodles cost $6.75 from the canteen
>Max spend of $40 every 2 weeks on canteen
