is your significant other being unable to cook for you a dealbreaker in a relationship? like i'm dating this girl who says she can't cook (she can't even cook a tv dinner right), which is where i swooce on in and being able to cook i ask this as a man looking to know what other dudes or legbeards thought
>>6044701Have dated numerous women who cant cook. Every single one is a terrible experience.If they're unwilling to even put in the effort to do shit like learn how to cook, they're also unlikely to do all sorts of other things that are simple and the backbones of good habits.I don't expect someone to cook for me all the time, but I do expect them to be able to do something other than canned store-bought food.
>>6044711Don't expect someone who can't take care of themselves to be able to pull their weight in a relationship.
>>6044701Never had a significant other, but I'm aware of my friends' eating/cooking habits, and it seems if you're unable to cook, you have a shit attitude and work ethic to begin with. That's where the real deal breaker would lie.
>>6044701My wife is a really good cook and I love how she likes to try and experiment and how she likes to buy new things just to have. For example, she bought an asparagus pot because she thought it would be cool. I feel like I'm the better cook but only because I'm the one cooking most nights.
No.It's nice because I enjoy cooking with my partners, but a lot of women just don't know how to cook.
>google "traditional german hamburger">get thisAyy lmaoGermany is a jokeAlso, German hamburger is called frikkadillenGermany is shite
>>6044718Your logic is so flawed. There's tons of foods that appear to be other things or similar to other dishes. Stop trying to justify your ignorance.
>german cuisineno such thing, you are all idiots.
>>6044726Enjoy your mushy, uneven, gravy-soaked "spaetzle".
>>6044742>implying spaetzle is ever "even". Just stop now, you're embarrassing yourself.
Didn't see one in the catalogMonday review is uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLBfS-uhQPcJoey seems more depressed than usual. This is probably the least enthused I've seen him ever, he gave it a 5 and there wasn't even one woo.Why is he like this broeys? I'm thinking it's some combination of the #TeamDaym backlash, the upcoming holidays, and Ken going back to Canada.How's the christmas card coming along btw?
Here's a little pick me up, gang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHC9Hmrgkgw
>>6044625The great thing about that video is how they thrown in gross nutella joey for a split second right in the middle.
>>6044019They're all shit though, why does everyone dislike Joey the most?
His need to dissect his junkfood before eating it drives me insane.
>>6044454He has nutrient deficiency.
Is there a combination of three or so staple foods that can provide full nutrition?I'm not a survivalist, and I think there'd be more urgent problems than finding food if the world order collapsed. But I'm intensely curious, and I have a thing for minimalism. I know that pic related is both delicious and provides most (but not all) of the nutrition requirements a person needs. Could something be added to it to round it out?It should, in keeping with the hypothetical, be easily growable.
>>6044693a dollar a day is overly optimistic, assuming you live in North America, UK, or Continental Europe. You can still eat simple, nourishing, and relatively varied for cheap, though, with planning.50-100 USD per month, depending on where you live and personal needs
>>6044693A good way to keep from being bored with leftovers is to add a simple new ingredient as you reheat/re-cook your meal. Celery is cheap and totally changes a bowl of lentil and barley stew, for instance.Take some chances and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
>>6044707Well I was mostly going by the caloric density of bulk bought dried legumes and grains like rice. Assuming those would provide me with the basics of living and I wouldn't require much else buying in bulk and on a discount would get me close to that, though you are of course right it wouldn't likely be that exactly cheap, and with any extras like spices or additives would add to the cost significantly. Though you are of course right and that's all just my preliminary speculation with no practical basis. I can see that price range being most likely correct. Though I feel as if I should ask if there is anything in particular you would recommend?>>6044714That sounds like great advice, I appreciate it anon.
>>6044361You can live entirely off potatoes and dairy.That's the only reason Ireland sustained so many people with shit-tier soil.
>>6044707>>6044730I live fairly close to a couple of different asian markets and farmers' markets (in the summer months, anyway), so I usually just pick up whatever fruit and veg is on sale outside of a few staple items, like onions and garlic.When you're chopping up your vegetables for whatever you're making, toss the odds and ends you aren't going to use into a zipper back or whatever and toss it in the freezer. Once it fills up, put it in a pot and just cover the contents with water to make vegetable stock.
Hi there /ck/ I'm new hereI wanna know how to cook good Asian style food, every time I try it just ends up as stir-fry, it's not bad but it's not like what I'd order at a restaurant.>how do I make separate dishes that taste like takeout?
Have you tried looking up a recipe?
MSG
>>6044646You need to get some frogs and snakes and tigers testicles and stuff like that.
>>6044741All joking aside, thai frogs taste like delicious wabbit.
>>6044741You forgot the seaweed and squid ink
How the fuck do I make lentils tasty? I always end up with a mushy-starchy pot of misery when I boil them in stock.
>>6044661hydrate lentils,throw bacon, onions and garlic in a pot with some oilwhen the onions are soft, add lentils, stock, thyme and some rosemary and let them simmer for ~1 hour
I made some amazing lentils tonight. Lots of onion heavy mirepoix, garlic, thyme, rosemary, tomato puree, veg stock. Added lentils that had just been simmered in water until tender. I adjusted the seasoning like 6 times, they needed a lot more salt than I thought they would.They honestly tasted like boring shit before they cooked in the sauce for a bit, but were very tasty by the time they were done.
>>6044725>>6044672>>6044721Whats your ratio water-to-lentils?
>>60447362:1, same as rice
>>6044736It's usually about 2 or 2.5 to 1; water to lentils by volume required. Depending on the type of lentil.But I always use more water than that and just drain them.
What is /ck/'s favorite food/ cooking related youtube video.It can be a song, comedy, instructional cooking, recipes, whatever so long as it is somehow food related.Here's mine:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGrqW3nx5HM
>not posting Food Partyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBPySxWxlcE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHbajQ8U8Fw&list=UU_Q2CkNSioDmiyeGTe5qq1gDoes /ck/ think this is a good recipe worth trying? I'm intrigued...
I like good eats with alton brown
>>6038676Minchia Milanese by the Food Emperorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCfkmOj5b9EHe's Swedish, and speaks Italian hilariously - there are English subtitles, but they are very tame compared to what he is really saying. Minchia means 'cock' BTW.
>>6040645You are a good person, I love you.
Would you?
While I like CJ's fresh-baked buns, I don't like 'breakfast burgers'. Besides, they offer a sausage biscuit for way cheaper than that monstrosity.
it'd be okay without the sausage, cheap sausage always has chunks of gristle.and without the cheap cheese.and if you had some fruit or something with it.it's not okay.
>>6037045This makes me want to puke on so many levels. Why is a biscuit or bun with just bacon and egg or sausage and egg not enough for people? Why does everyone have to take things to an extreme level of greasy fatness? I used to like Carl's Jr, when I was younger, but they've just gone full disgusting in the past several years.
Here's another disgusting option.
>>6044735And here's the reality.
Stuffed burgers /ck/. Do you like them? What do you stuff yours with?I got one of those stuffed burger molds a couple months ago as a gift, and I've used it a few times. They're pretty good. I tried bacon and blue cheese last night, but the blue cheese melted to much and ran out of the patty.
I like them but I prefer the ingredients to be mixed in with the ground beef instead of a pocket of cheese or something just resting in the middle of the burger.
>>6041868no, theyre shit
>need to overcook my burger to get the stuffing warm
i like them. keeps the middle juicy. i find the trick is to not overstuff, and pay attention to sealing the cheese in so you don't spring a leak. op's pic is too stuffed. and why have they filled a burger with cauliflower?
>>6041868Meat must taste like garbage in your place so you actually want to make the patty taste like something else, despite the burger being a meat sandwich to begin with
This is the best burger at McDonald's.Prove me wrong.
>>6042419There isn't even anything wrong with it, do people really look at that and see something the matter? It just like look ultra ground meat, it's what I'd expect uncooked McNuggets to look like.
>>6044144Hey, when I can get frozen beef slime patties for $1.25/lb, I don't complain. I just bought a 4lb box of the stuff for $5 on Friday.
They sell those fried jalapeños in the salad aisle next to croutons.
>>6041561I like the grilled onion and white cheddar burger
>>6041608Add the jalapeno chips/slices to the habanero ranch quarter-pounder.Or the habanero ranch sauce on the jalapeno double.
What foods aren't acceptable to eat with a fork?
>>6044569Fucking LOST. I know people always exaggerate how much they laugh at stuff, but I genuinely just laughed out loud until I had tears in my eyes.
>>6044163>Work at mcdonaldsAmerican dream
>>6044569cute, I'd use your fork OP.not in my ass though, just to eat things withCan you eat some ice for me
you post pic where you eat sandwitch with a fork..you seem like super cute..
Are there really this many perverts on /ck/ or are a couple of you samefagging super hard over here?
what eat now /ck/?I make meal warm for cold dayStep 1 get ingredient ready
>>6043236>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarfiDid you make your own Vark to put on it?Would love to see pics of that.
>>6043241>Did you make your own Vark to put on it?I did not.
>>6043236>>6043241>barfi = barfy>blasting chunks
>>6044120you might wanna try other cultures' foods before insulting them
>>6044720>>6043236>>6042872
Do you put beans in your chili? I don't because I honestly have never liked beans.
>people being elitist about how you eat chiliIt's almost as funny as people getting arrogant and snobby over how they eat processed pig assholes
>Putting mushrooms in chiliAbsolutely fucking disgusting if you do this you need your change your life you NIG
wait so chili over in the US refers to an actual dish?I always thought it was just the type of fruit
i put chickpeas in my chilli the other day. idgaf
>>6044698google "chili con carne"and "chili queens" to get some background info.
What's /ck/ having for dinner tonight?
Oh man....I made some killer Dan Dan noodles for dinner tonight, but oh the pain I have now. They were super delicious, and super spicy, with plenty of sichuan peppercorn and hot pepper paste, but I'm paying for it now. IDK why, but no matter how often I eat spicy foods, my poor bum will never get used to it. My mouth and stomach are fine with it, it's that last leg of the trip that gets me.
>>6044263Hey! That's what I had for dinner last night!
local white vermicelli boiled till softChicken bones and herb soupmix them both with leftover shredded fried chickenDonut like potato croquetteand some rice on side since i am a big eater
>>6043305looks like prison food. Ain't nice
>>6044614Maybe it's a cry for help?
why does /ck/ hate hot pockets?
>>6040040My m8s left your mums hot pocket full of ooey gooeyness
>>6042528Men you mate with fucked his mom? That is highly implausible.
>>6042513Hot Pockets are fine dining compared to literally everything that bears the Totino's brand name.
>>6042685Like, shit, I don't think you understand how bad that shit is.If Hot Pockets use "Grade D meat" then Totino's uses grade F. Shit's rank.
>>6038558My favorite is the Alabama style.
