Even if I added fish to it (which I didn't), it would cost me only about 85¢ per serving.

Hotdogs aren't poorfag food.

Sacks of dried beans and large sacks of rice are poorfag food.

If you can afford hot dogs at their current price, you are not poor. You might be on hand me out welfare, but you are not poor.

mfw you don't understand the concept of relative wealth and that you can be relatively poor and eat shitty mystery meat hot dogs

[Anonymous No.5653635]

I'm not a poor fag or anything but I prefer eating cheap cuts of meat over the more expensive cuts.
Something about cooking a cheap lump of meat braising in the oven or slow cooker and the rich flavours that you get from it and the left over you eat for 4 days after, its really satisfying.

[Anonymous No.5653661]

>>5653624

It's not mystery meat any more than beef hot dogs. Some are beef, some are pork, some are a mixture of chicken/pork. All hot dogs are "mystery" meat as in throwaway.

What did you think 100% beef hot dogs were? Filet mignon? No. It's entrails, scrap meat, organs and other shit.

Relative wealth means shit if you don't own a sack of rice. 1st worst, if you aren't making bean and rice stew every week then you aren't poor. Period. Relative wealth is the excuse lazy people use to pose as poor.

Let me guess, you have a smartphone with a data plan also? Yeah, you're not poor.

[Anonymous No.5653708]

>>5653669
He's got a point though. I live off of beans and rice, because they're cheap and abundant. Being unemployed, it's gotten to the point where I want to kill myself. Hot dogs, even shitty ones, are more expensive than beans and rice.

I hope shit like this >>5651492 is bait, because all that stuff would be relatively expensive here in Mexico.

Anyway here's my poorfag recipe:

Shitty half Crock Pot "Gumbo".

As you know, gumbo has a variety of meats and seafood, but this is poorfag thread, so mine has only chicken and pork. Yum.

Spices:
-Cayenne Pepper
-Dried "Chile de arbol" (Can't be assed to remember what it's called in english).
-Salt
-Pepper
-Garlic Salt.
-Bay leaves

First thing I do is take a chicken leg, defrost it, and cut off all the meat, leaving only bones and skin. I use the bones and skin to make the stock, adding bayleaves to taste. Leave this while I prepare the rest.

Now, what makes a shitty gumbo a shitty gumbo is a shitty roux. I'm new to gumbo, but I find that adding more flour than oil makes a thicker roux, which I like. I use brown roux for that smoky smell and flavor. Once it's done, set it and let it get to room temp.

By now, the broth must be positively boiling, so I fish out the bones and skin and add some of the pork (these are square pork cuts with bone for that extra broth brothitty brothbrothbroth).

Now, I sear the chicken meat, with some onions. Put it aside for now.

While the roux is cooling and the broth is brothing, I mince some garlic, and some cambray onions because that's litterally all I have in my kitchen.

Now that the broth smells of pork, and is boiling, I move it to my Crock Pot, which has been "pre heated". While it's still boiling I add my room-temp roux and mix it well. According to the fat chefs on youtube, the difference in temperature helps with the thickening. I have messed up and added them while they were both piping hot and had difficulty incorporating them, so I know this to be true.

[Anonymous No.5653711]

>>5653708
Once the roux is incorporated into the broth I add the rest of the pork, and the seared chicken and onion into the pot.

Then i add, Cayenne, Chile de arbol making sure to break it so the seeds scatter and it gats assblastingly spicy, salt n' peppa, my minced garlic and some garlic salt because fuck you.

As for the minced cambray onions... I add them when it's almost done, or just serve them raw on the bowl. With some white rice.


This recipe must sound like complete dogshit to you, but it's made some tasty meals. Hope to get some tips.

I actually have four chicken leg quarters in my freezer, some frozen asparagus, frozen mini sweet peppers, beans, lentils, dried peas, and barley but I hadn't felt like cooking so I made do.

What are you gonna do when you work in the industry and things change? This is especially true in the tech industry. Your education will be worthless in ten years and you'll need to reteach yourself a more modern skill set.

No one talks about potatoes, you u guys even poorfag?

Often stores have 10lb bags of potatoes for 99 cents. Buy 2-4 bags and you can have mashed potatoes/baked potato/fries for a whole month on 2-4 bucks. Careful not to buy too much or they rot and you have to throw them out.

Fake margarine/butter (hydrogenized oils) they have 4 sticks for a dollar. I hate that stuff so I spend the 3 bucks to get the real butter + 2 bucks for some sour cream. Yummy baked potato/mashed potato.

------------------------------------------------

>not making your own fresh chips
Hispanic foods stores have 30 corn tortillas on sale for 99 cents. Cut them in 1/4 or 1/6th, fry or bake, sprinkle desired amount of salt. You control how much oil and salt are on them and they are fresh, not stale chips in bags sitting in the store for weeks.

It's amazing how being poorfags you're still clinging to greasy fastfood styles. I guess its ingrained (inbred?). Heheheh.
I mean, I'd supposed lots of staple food- potato, rice, macaroni, corn, beans, polenta - whatever's ubiquitous in your place, some cheaper vegs & fruit - onions, apples etc. Simple bread, cheaper meat cuts.
Of course, it only work if you lived in a slum all your life, and used to that. Now, if you ate twinkies and ice-cream and pizzas, and than SUDDENLY you leave mom&dad, that yeah, you gonna get weird, trying to emulate that food with whatever you can get.

Possibly not true. The only vitamin that experiences deterioration upon cooking, so far as I know, is C. Boiling or stewing vegetables actually /increases/ the bioavailability of many, many vitamins and minerals. For example, carrot.
Let's say there is a cup of cut up carrot. Half the cup (by weight) is boiled. The other is left raw. The boiled one will have about 33% more vitamin A.
I don't quite understand why, but it's true. You (or I, I guess) could do research on da googlez to find out why but it's true.

I've read it in some journal or other when I was researching the thing like a decade ago, I just don't remember why that's the case, just that it is. IIRC, Cornell and Harvard reached the same conclusions independently of one another. Had something to do with beta carotene being broken down and turning into vit A or something and other vits/mins being trapped in parts of the fruit/veg being boiled that are fibrous and undigestable without cooking.

I cooked a pork stew today that cost me damned near nothing, as well.
1lb/450g of pork shoulder meat, $1.29 (yes: $1.29)
cup and a half of sauerkraut, homemade, 11¢
3 onions, 65¢
half pound/200g of smoked sausage, $1 (yes: $1)
litre/quart and a half of pork stock made from pig's feet, $2
half cup of flour, 5¢
half cup leftover cooking oil from frying other stuff, 5¢
quarter cup bacon render I've saved, 5¢ٴ
half pound of mushrooms, $1
paprika, caraway, laurels, peppercorns and garlic, let's say... $1

$7.20 for 6 servings. That's $1.20 per bowl. Plus some homemade potato dumplings, and that's only like... $1.50 per serving.

Yeah, I prefer making homemade food as a poorfagasaurus as well. I'll usually get bone on split chicken breasts (cheaper than thighs at my store) along with some potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and spinach. My grocery store is pretty cheap thankfully and all of this stuff lasts me a while.
I'll cut the breast mostly off of the bone and bake them. I'll serve with rice (got a huge bag for free from the mem). Then I'll boil the bones and excess meat with vegetables and make chicken soup (pull meat off of bones) which lasts me for a long while. Left over spinach and onions can go in eggs in the morning, carrots I'll eat as a snack. Potatoes, garlic, and onions are versatile.

Sort of, but I could have used those ingredients elsewhere, so I use 5¢ as the cost of giving up another choice. But yeah, I re-use frying oil until it's a bit dark then use it almost exclusively for roux or baking. And bacon render is always good to save. I make my own chicken rinds, too, and use the rendered fat to cook with, as well.
