Do you buy dry beans and do the whole thing where you have to put them in water over night and shit? That seems like it is just filler activities. Can one not just boil them straight away and be fine?
Usually we soaked then overnight but you don't have to if you don't mind a bit longer cook time. You can also get pic related if you don't want to spend too much time cooking, it tastes good.
It takes hours for dried beans to become edible when cooked …which is fine by me, because I leave my red beans on the stove all afternoon. I use dried beans which I do not bother to soak. I just simmer the pot until it's ready to eat.
I've never heard that before. I was taught by my grandmama that you should boil the beans for about ten minutes before reducing it to a simmer, but she weren't no scientician.
Even when broke my mom could cook so we had freshly made pasta, baked bread, chicken with rice, chilis and so on. You dont need a lot of money to eat decently, anything with grain goes a long way, and there is always some sort of cheap protein (frozen chicken is dirt cheap)
Yeah i have been relying on grains, eggs and cabbage a lot lately. It is surprisingly fun to try and come up with meals that are cheap, nutritious and taste good.
Gnoccis are basically half potato half flour and you can make huge batches for dirt cheap and then just freeze them. They dont even need to look good to taste good
Yeah i just saw a recipe for flat bread that uses half mashed potatoes in the dough. It looked yummy, i might try it.

I should get into beans more. I love red kidney beans but i feel like i have been sleeping on those big white ones so far.
I've never experienced money being tight but Culinalysuckers tell me that I eat like a poor.
Example: dinner tonight will be paella de verduras with artichokes, green favas, manzanilla olives and red bell peppers. Also salad.
Somehow, eating this as a main indicates poverty.
Probably just because it has no meat in it. Plus beans and bell peppers are often used in poor people foods but i like them anyways, i also ate them a lot when i had lots of money.

>Probably just because it has no meat in it.
Yeah, we don't eat a lot of meat. I fried some fish when we got in from services today, which was nice. Had it with fries and salad .
>red bell peppers
u obv not poor
?
I wouldn't call you poor. I'd call you homosexual (and probably correct.)
Bi, but I haven't been with a dude in eight years.
Slave food. Steak and seafood is rich people food
We had seafood for lunch today and will be having prime rib steaks (with garlic mash, sauteed spinach, crisp-fried mushrooms and tomato salad) Tuesday evening. The missus is cooking tomorrow. Something with chickpeas (since I saw that she'd already set some aside to soak) but idk what.

Unless we're making it into milk, we only soak chickpeas. No other bean/legume/pulse/whatever gets soaked (except for milk purposes).

You should be ashamed of yourself.

i don't know, we've never been broke. i've never known actual poverty thanks to my parents with high education and good paying jobs.
if i would ever get kids, i'd never skimp on food, decent food is so important, would even consider selling some drugs or some other easy money, but then again i'm a pretty skilled programmer, don't think i will become poor, ever.
We were always pretty poor, lots of handmedowns, etc. But mum always made sure we had good food.
I would stay at wealthy friends houses and be shocked at how shitty their food was.
>What broke meals has your family eaten when money was tight?
Oatmeal.
Nowadays I eat it as "dessert" after dinner, because it keeps me full for the next couple of hours until I go to sleep.
There's nothing worse than eating a big ass steak and a bunch of big ass fries, and then feeling like making another plate 2 hours later.
>There's nothing worse than eating a big ass steak and a bunch of big ass fries, and then feeling like making another plate 2 hours later.
McDonald's would probably go bankrupt if they offered oatmeal as a side dish.
My mom's poverty meals were "recipes" that came on the labels of various things. The most common was something called "beef and macaroni whip-up" that she got from a jar of Miracle Whip: >1lb ground beef >1lb macaroni >jar of marinara >some Miracle Whip >shredded cheese
cook the ground beef and macaroni, mix them together with the marinara and Miracle Whip, top with the shredded cheese and cover until melted
As a kid I didn't know why it tasted different each time, then I realized she was just buying a jar of Prego or whatever was on sale that week
checked, thats super trashy lol. one of my favorites as a kid was minute rice with a can of cream of mushroom soup mixed in. my mom made it perfectly somehow
>a can of cream of mushroom soup
I feel so trashy now that I think about how I keep those things in my pantry just for those moments when I have a craving for something low fat and low carb, instead of a bag of potato or corn chips.

for my parents last week i made rice and ground beef. for me i think the most important things for the flavor were boiling the rice in broth and also soy sauce tastes good with it. i usually make soups so bean soup and potato soup are very cheap and also i like to make a lentil soup because i can fit a salami into one of my pant pockets perfectly
I just noticed something weird.
A 15 ounce can of potatoes is $1.49, and a 13 ounce bag of potato chips costs $7.29.
Maybe I should start buying canned taters from now on, and just sprinkle some Lawry's Seasoned Salt (Registered Trademark) on them instead.
>i noticed also that name brand cereals are more expensive per pound than most meats.
Yeah. I don't know why they would do that.
Back in my boomer days, oatmeal used to be a cheap filler, but now it's cheaper to add beef to oatmeal.
>When money was tight we had spaghetti with shitty Ragu sauce.
Damn. I thought I was poor, but at least we could afford crisco and ketchup to put on our spaghetti.
Cooked potatoes, half a pound of vegetables, and a sausage from the butcher.
Vegetable soup or pea soup with bread, mustard, some cold cuts from the butcher.
I don't think I'd called overcooked scrambled eggs and giant shards of tortillas a "simplified migas". I think I'd call it down syndrome man attempts to cook.
>...it never even occurred to you to put the eggs in the tortillas? >Even Mexicans can figure out how to make a burrito.

I kekked because you got insulted by someone else.
I don't see why you would think that was migas. Did your mother have down syndrome?
Seriously, you could've taken those tortillas, put butter on one side, added the eggs, and then wrapped it up like an envelope. I mean, it would still be food for poors, but we wouldn't think that downies could reproduce.

Red Beans & Rice is a delicious favorite of mines

Are you not supposed to boil them, throw away the water and boil them again in fresh water to get rid of the lectins?
I've never heard that before. I was taught by my grandmama that you should boil the beans for about ten minutes before reducing it to a simmer, but she weren't no scientician.
my daddy taught me a few things too, like how not to rip the skin by using someone elses mouth
Thinking you're clever, but you're not. He evidently didn't teach you humor.
oh shit I'm sorry
>I'm sorry
yeah no shit
well still I'm not ashamed, especially since its such a good size and all
Damn that looks good, red beans and rice is a budget delicacy

I used those big white ones instead of red beans before and it was probably better
Mh, good to know. I will try.

Skill issue tbh.
$7 for 10lbs of potatoes isn't cheap at all considering a single potato weights almost a pound
I just bought 4 lbs of potatoes for $1.13 today
what country
United States
what county in the US
None of your fricking business. It's not a big city and the potatoes were on sale.
>pay for a yearly subscription to pay a dollar per pound for potatoes

Do you have dirt out the back of your house? Potatoes are insanely easy to grow and produce a huge crop for almost no effort.

No. 🙁 We live in the city.

what's actually expensive rn are vegetables

potato chips are a fricking scam nowadays
same with cereal tbh, who the frick wants to buy fricking coco puffs at a price per lb of 8 dollars. For that same price you can get 3 dozen eggs.
>8 dollars. For that same price you can get 3 dozen eggs.
They're $1.44/dz in my area so 5,5 dozens : )
When money was tight we had spaghetti with shitty Ragu sauce. And when it got really bad it was navy beans and ketchup.

I don't think I'd called overcooked scrambled eggs and giant shards of tortillas a "simplified migas". I think I'd call it down syndrome man attempts to cook.

I grew up on a diet of chicken, rice, and beans
only real memory I have is eating a giant bag of cheese balls for lunch because I had no other food and didn't know how to cook.
cant you just eat rice, potatoes, beans and then take a multi vitamin?
All you need to live is mashed potatoes and oatmeal. Not even joking.
you can be healthier than most people on a diet consisting mainly of potatoes, milk, and eggs.
