Actually I've been kind of curious about this.
Does /jp/ cook or follow the typical shut-in stereotype of living off microwavable food?
Cooking is cheaper, so I feel like it would work better for the lifestyle, also you get to make food from VNs and such. Pic related, I just can't get it to work... might have the heat up too high so it doesn't cook through enough to roll. ; _ ;

1. Open up ramen pack (i get them 12 for $1 at a local store I go to)
2. Drop it in water
3. Drain it after a minute to get all the processing crap out of it
4. Soak it in really hot water for about 5 minute
5. Stir in packet and enjoy

This is the life of a poorfag, and if you're not some obese slob, food like this is a lifesaver.

I cook meals, if you can call what I do cooking. I basically just grill/pan-fry/bake some meat, boil some pasta or rice, and boil some kind of easy to make vegetable like peas or sweetcorn. It's not as unhealthy as ready meals/pizza, and it doesn't require much effort. The only things I've cooked which require any real preparation besides washing the vegetables/rice have been cakes.
I'm such a fussy eater there's not much point in me trying to move out of this, I wouldn't be able to get any more variety in the veg anyhow.

I imagine /jp/ as cute, demure maidens, so cooking most likely. But I don't really cook, it's mostly fresh fruit, raw meat and vegetables for me (raw tomatoes taste great and garlic goes well with everything.) I guess I won't be able to make a good wife.

You could ask /ck/. I dunno, I just started by throwing shit in the pan and mixing it around after the oil had heated up (diced meat, chopped onions, maybe some canned or frozen vegetables) and adding either soy or stir-fry sauce (store bought, or make it yourself from soy sauce and mirin or something).

Also, this is now relevant:

Agreed. /jp/ should be to 4chan what LUE (Life, the Universe, and Everything) is to GameFAQs: People sign up to have their IP addresses logged, after a certain cut-off point, only people from those IP addresses can access /jp/. This would prevent faggots from coming in here.

>> No.6889867

>>6889857

People on dynamic IPs can't control their IP number. Maybe moot should have a sign in sheet. You enter your username and pass that you put in before the cut off, and you get access to /jp/. You don't HAVE to post with your username and can remain anonymous, but you can if you want to.

This isn't /b/. With a board this small, it is best for everybody to have names so we know who is doing what.

Hardcore and it sounds like his diet is what humans are supposed to eat.

But I'd be careful about parasites and other dangers in raw meat if I was him. Not that there aren't dangers that are exclusive found in cooked meat, especially when overcooked.

>> No.6889948

I don't really cook either. Every day for me it's a big bottle of water that I refill before sleeping and freeze. Then there's generally two things I eat in a day, either a bunch of berries/cherries and then whatever I've got myself for dinner. The dinner is usually a pretty small meal maybe with a couple of pieces of cooked red meat and some vegetables, often tomatoes. But sometimes it's something unhealthy like pasta.
