post meals and recipes that can be made very cheapy or very quickly. we are going for caloric content here not flavor.here I'll start to give a good idea of what I'm talking about, I just invented this:what you will need:>hot dog (bratwurst if you're willing)>tortilla>mustard (invest in the stoneground kind if you prefer)>oil, does not matter what kindwhat you will do:>boil the hot dog or brat in either water or beer. does not have to be good beer, could be a keystone light or something if that's all you have.>let it sit for about 8 minutes, until it registers slightly under 160 deg F. the dogs are probably precooked so it doesn't really matter but we will finish heating them in a second.>take the dawgs out. i don't have tongs so I usually do this with two forks.>put some oil in a skillet, medium heat>finish the dawgs for about 35 seconds on each side to give them some color>lay out a tortilla, squirt with mustard, roll it upI call it the hitlurrito, what do you anons think?
Poor people are stupid
>>20462481I agree. I'm not actually poor, just frugal. I have 25k in savings.act broke to stay rich
kluski soop.it's just flour and egg.mix with a fork until it's very tacky and starts to pull away from the bowl, get a spoon nice and hot in your boiling broth and use it scoop and release individual kluskis into the broth, let them simmer for about 4-5 minutes and wala.also delicious with chicken, leeks, or whatever leafy greens you want to add
>>20462486I'll have to try this. Another hack (maybe you're already doing this), but you can use bouillon cubes instead of broth. Hell, even ramen packets would probably work.
>>20462477>cheapy>invest in expensive mustardgo fuck yourself
>>20462491I think it's worth the extra couple dollars compared to the regular yellow stuff. Or just buy brown mustard?
>>20462489yeah I use stock cubes for the broth. I really don't care much for buying liquid broth and I don't like lugging it home from the store anyway.it's a simple soup but so damn satisfying
>>20462482I have 100k in savings, eat my ass
>>20462482I have multiple savings accounts, a checking account, an MMA, a CD, a Roth ira, and a joint Roth account all exceeding that amount, a couple excessively exceeding, and I feel poor. Unless you are a thirdie you should genuinely be worried about your financial future
>>20462477Heat your tortillas. It's important. Changes the chemistry. Makes them taste a lot better. Trust me.Before your oil your skillet, heat it up dry. Get it HOT. Preheating is important to the process. When it's hot, flop a tortilla on, give it about 15 seconds. If the pan was sufficiently heated, then the tortilla is going to bubble on the up facing side. That's how you know it's getting good heat. When you see the bubble, pick it up and flip it on its other side. Letting it cook for another 10 or so seconds. This time, the side won't bubble, so you just have to feel it out. Yank it out, and flop the next one on. Repeat for as many tortillas you plan on eating.Some brands of tortillas bubble less than others, so don't get complacent and allow your tortillas to burn. You have to watch them like a hawk, because the heat will cook them FAST.
>>20462477Thats too many steps bruh.>put a dog on a tortilla, add mustard, eatNo spending money on water to boilNo spending money on electricity to cookWe broke up in dis bitch
>>20462477you should use a corn tortilla (gluten free for the real deal)
>>20462477Protip: they are better with reheated corn tortillas Also reheat your flour tortillas
>>20462504And steak a day with just enough liquor to make pan sauces and other ingredients is like 1k a month.
>>20462576>steak a day calm down there Mr Rothschild
>>20462482Rich people don't eat sausages wrapped in cold tortillas.You are poor in every sense of the word.
>>20462524You might as well be homeless at that point. Have some decency, at least microwave your shit.>>20462658sounds like they're missing out then
>>20462477>poor>eats meatIf you want to be poor with tortillas take a hint from the mexicans; beans and tortillas is all you need. On the other hand, I used to eat plenty of peanut butter. It stores for long periods and it's a handy source of calories when you can't bum food off other people. My favorite was to make some pan fried toast with peanut butter and maybe some raisins; occasionally I'd just slather some peanut butter on a warm tortilla.
>>20462477bro never heard of a microwave
>>20462589Kek
>>20462482>having a "savings" account at allYou are broke
buy a bag of beans, some rice, some cheap eggs. Poor people cooking lmao.

>>20462477microwave cheese quesadilla tacos: 1. place flour tortilla on plate2. spread shredded cheese on tortilla3. place another tortilla on top.4. microwave for 45 seconds.5. put stuff on top of quesadilla and fold, eat like big ass taco.
>>20462477>500g potato>200g frozen fish>starch>spices of your choiceShred potato, blend fish, put potato into towel and press to remove liquid, as best you can. Mix potato with spices and fish, add starch until it just starts sticking together.Put into a waffle iron (2 fillings), or press out and fry in pan, golden brown.If more protein is preferred, bring a can of legumes to a boil, including the water. Add spices of choice, and vinegar/citrus juice of choice. Add something to thicken it, breadcrumbs, semolina, starch/water slurry, etc. Put on top of fishy hashbrowns. Eat. Vary each time you do so so you don't get bored. Cheap, nutritious, quick, delicious. The ideal food item.
Canadian nachos
>>20462477Just cook a big batch of beans or lentils in your pressure cooker. It will last you for days and you can find recipes online to spice it up with veggies and meat.
>>20462477I don't know if this is the thread to ask but would canned crab work in an omelette? I'm poor and trying to make the best of the stuff I have in the cupboard.
>>20465680Do you have bread crumbs or stale bread? Probably would be better as a crabcake with just 1 or 2 eggs and some breadcrumbs
>>20465685No but I could probably get some bread from the bakery dumpster.
>>20465685Do you just chop up the crab and mix it all together with an egg?
>>20462477Hot dog is not very good protein content for the price.I would suggest minced meat and then it just becomes a tortilla. You get something like twice the protein per dollar.
>>20465838What about a burger patty and an egg?
>>20462477>paying for oil>buying mustard>buying beer
>>20462477>Egg fried rice>IngredientsLeftover RiceFrozen corn kernelsFrozen green peasFrozen mirepoix mixSoy SauceCanola OilSaltPepper>EquipmentNon stick frying panWooden Spoon>MethodBit of oil in pan, heat to medium-high. Toss in handful of mirepoix mix and corn when oil shimmers. Salt and Pepper lightlyStir so it doesnt burnWhen mirepoix is cooked(carrots softened, onion translucent), add more oil, turn up heat and toss in cold leftover rice. Break up with wooden spoon, add soy sauce to taste.Let that cook for a minute or two, then throw in peas.Once peas are warmed through, push rice to one side of pan and crack in one egg per serving. Scramble rapidly and then mix into rice.Remove from heat and serve.This recipe is extremely cheap, and takes less then ten minutes. You can add anything you have lying around in. It uses eggs, canola oil, and rice as the base, the absolute cheapest protein, fat, and carb respectively. It is also quite tasty and a vehicle for leftovers. It uses only two things that need to be cleaned.
>>20462477Friend, you can make your own tortillas that taste a billion times better by putting some flour and salt in a bowl with water, mix it and add enough water so it's runny and you can pour it.Then pour it onto a hot skillet and shape with a spoon. I recommend an electric skillet unless you're a pro with the stove top it burns fast the e skillet is very easy and then just cook them up I take the spoon under them to get them to flip nice and easy.It is much better. They have a nice snap and chew. Like the 5 layer beef burritos I wouldn't add any oil into the tortilla mix because they fall apart then.
>>20465845You should make burger patty yourself from ground beef.
>>20462576>1k a monthGonna need a breakdown on this one
>>20465287Kekked at he snowflakes on the plate
>>20467523I got them on sale. Combined with the egg 23 grams of protein
Instant ramen noodles in cold water. One minute oats in a bowl with cold water. Multivitamin. All of these require no or minimal prep time and money. The multivitamin is just there to keep you from developing an illness from nutritional deficiency.
>>20462477Bread and cheese.
This will probably sound disgusting to most people, but when I want a cheap, calorie dense "meal" that requires no preparation whatsoever... I take a couple gulps from a bottle of cooking oil.
>>20467755there's no protein dudeshit macros
>>20467816>there's no protein dude>shit macrosIf you're trying to lose weight, it's a great macro. You body will be forced to partially cannibalize itself but you will still have an energy source.
>>20467820>losing weight>only eat carbs and fat and zero proteinWhat the fuck dude that's the exact fucking oppositeFor loosing weight you should rather eat mostly protein and cut down on the useless calories in fat, carbs and sugar.
>>20467888There are carbs in cooking oil?
>>20467893Wherein did I insinuate such?
>>20462477>or beerwhy boil the dawg in beer?
>>20465262I eat two of these a day for practically half my calories, so easy, zero effort, tasty and cheap!
>>20465287based, we ate these in the trailer park growing upmay I also add to this thread a warm tortilla with peanut butter in it
>>20462513>Heat your tortillas. It's important. Changes the chemistry. Makes them taste a lot better. Trust me.No bullshit, this Anon is absolutely right.Although I forgo to pan and toast them directly over the flame, flipping them every 7-10 seconds, about 6 times.
>>20465287what the fuck man i hadnt thought about these in like 16 years and you just unlocked literally every memory i have of my single mom making it

>>20462477Why do boomers eat these retarded abominations and think they are le poor? Hotdogs are more expensive than decent meat. Poor eating is a banana ($2 for 1 weeks worth) and/or oatmeal ($4 for one months worth, for a little more you can add almond milk and maple syrup which are both cheap and last a long time) for breakfast. Lunch: PB and J sandwich (somewhere in the ballpark of $10 for a months worth of everything) with a celery stick. ($2 for 2 weeks worth) Dinner is a cheap protein like frozen tilapia ($15 for 2 weeks worth) or chicken thighs ($5 for 1 week) with rice (you can buy a 12 pack of vigo for like $25 which is a months worth of pre-spiced rice, or just a 20 lb bag of enriched rice for $15 which will last you all year) and some frozen broccoli. (1 weeks worth for $2)With this you can keep yourself fed for under $20 a week.>wasting a beer to cook a hot dogDefinitely not poor cooking.
>>20462477>poor people food>sausage linksFake poor
>overly elaborate instructions to eat a hotdogactually retarded you don't know how to cook or make anything appetizing don't try to give advice with that trash
>>20465873I eat so much fried rice.
>>20462477Ramen will always be the king of poorfag meals. Knew a friend with a shitty mother and all he bought him was cardboard trays of ramen noodles to eat. Knew another friend that had a health condition where he had to eat triple the amount of food than us. His mom also bought him cardboard trays of ramen and I remember them just sitting on his bed. I'll give that mother a pass though. I remember sleeping over at his house and for his meals he would make three at a time.
>>20468957>a 12 pack of vigowhat is vigo?
How do we differentiate between "poor food" and "cheap crap that you throw together at home and everyone else does too?"
>>20462477why boil the dawg in beer? answer me
>>20470618It cooks it without browning the outside and gives it a little flavor, then the last bit of beer browns the casing nicely without splitting it which would make it dry out

>>20468509>D'Artagnan awakened Planchet and ordered him to open it.>From this phrase, "D'Artagnan awakened Planchet," the reader must not suppose it was night, or that day was hardly come. No, it had just struck four. Planchet, two hours before, had asked his master for some dinner, and he had answered him with the proverb, "Sleep is the poor man's dinner." And Planchet dined by sleeping.>A man was introduced of simple mien, who had the appearance of a tradesman. Planchet, by way of dessert, would have liked to hear the conversation; but the citizen declared to d'Artagnan that what he had to say being important and confidential, he desired to be left alone with him.

>>20469850Why did he need triple the calories of a normal child?
>>20470501It was weird how this guy showed up in the mouth of madness
>>20471016Thank you for educating me
>>20462477Poor mexicans will literally use tortillas like bread. Buttered tortilla, PB&J tortilla, ham and cheese
>>20465273Why can't I just eat the fish and potato separate?Fish and potatoes are good. Sounds like you're doing a lot of extra effort to get something that's worse than what you started with.
>>20467893The carbs are the noodles, dipshit.>>20467820In college I did have a meal I called "fancy ramen".At the grocery I'd pick up>Cheapest bulk pack of hotdogs.>Bulk pack of Ramen noodles.>Bag of onions.>Green Peppers.I could make a whole lot of cheap meals out of that.Looking back, years later, what I was missing out on was adding some other veggies and egg. Would have made the meals much better and more nutritious for very little extra cash.
>>20471815Are tortillas cheaper than a loaf of white bread?
>>20471863>Fish and potatoes are good.True. That's why people like fish and chips
>>20471878They make the tortillas at home.Less ingredients, much easier, and a lot faster to make tortillas than bread.
>>20471882I wasn't aware of that.
>>20465680>>20465693Do you take charity? Hate to see people suffer like this. I can throw a couple bucks your way for some groceries if you have a PayPal or Whatever
>>20472021I wish I had a better paying job. America is nice if you're rich and hell if you're not.
>>20472021I wouldnt reccomend sharing that information on 4chan.Look and see if there are some food banks by where you live. Most people dont take advantage of them so theyre usually pretty plentiful.
>>20465287Honestly the little round tortilla chips with pre-shredded cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds is a great snack. I prefer it over the queso stuff from a can.
>>20472021If I was starving to death I would. I appreciate the offer, you're a good person. I got this from the bin a couple of days ago so I won't go hungry.>>20472044There is a foodbank type place about an hour away by train which has free vegetables and fruit, sometimes noodles, crackers, oats type stuff but the trains aren't running so I didn't go today, which is the only day they're open currently.
>>20471863Because it's more work separately. This, you just need a food processor and it's done in 30 seconds.

>>20472261that's what your mom said
>>20462513Change yr minds, fry the tortillas in a lil oil first.
>>20472261Thanks again, but it wouldn't be right seeing as I have food.
>>20472347Be well anon. Hope things get better. <3

>>20472512You are on an anime website
>>20462481yeah that's why when they have to make poor people food they don't buy in bulk and buy unfilling goyslop instead of just copying whatever real food third world niggas eat. 99% of poors are poor because they are straight up retarded or have given up.
>>20462486bro my grandma used to make these and make them a ton in winter.mostly with a cabbage and meat stew.they are stupidly delicious.
>>20471876Boil then fry the noodles in oil.Add chopped onion, yellow peppers; anything you want like baby corn bamboo mushrooms; then soy sauce, and sugar after the noodles start to get firm and chewy or right before - you dont want to burn any of it. Then you have firm, chewy, sticky teriyaki noodles.*save the seasoning packet for some chicken or steak or something else.You could season some chicken with it then add it on top kind of weird maybe i just like the teriyaki noodles with some vegetables mostly the yellow peppersBroccoli would make it taste weird imo but do what you willOr you could make a sweet and sour variant with ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and corn starch mixed and heated until thickness is achieved.You could make some egg roll wraps with flour, egg, salt, and water. Mix so its runny and can be poured then pour some in a hot skillet and shape with spoon. Small and thin is best. You dont need the egg for this.Make the mix with cabbage, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, egg and onion powder, garlic powder, soy sauce; mix then heat the concoction up some then put in a bowl and spoon some into the wraps.Wrap the two sides in an inch or so on each side then roll one of the sides over the mix and into the long roll like a burrito.Then fry or bake them bottom down first so they stay closed. I bet baking them so the stay closed and then rolling them in hot oil until golden brown would be cost effective and good. You may not need to bake them first just slap them down and they will heat closed like that in oil. I personally baked them because i never had enough oil.Pro tip: buy an electric sillet with a lid for $30 at walmart. Walmart also doesnt charge an insane delivery fee but amazon will.
>>20462486the word is "voila" , you fucking moron.
>>20473078What do violas have to do with anything? You're weird.
Beyond meat products are cheap enough and good.I want more anons to eat it and see to save the animals im factory farms and taste a good product that is a little less than double the price of cheap meat.Tofu is not good idk what is in beyond meat but its non gmo, plant and extremely delicious all things considered.My favorite is the 1 pound ground beef it can easily be shaped into a patty like real meat, make meatball subs or hamburgers. For some reason i dont think the premade patties by the same brand are as good as the 1 pound package.Maybe its my imagination.Next the popcorn chicken. It has a good flavor and texture.Then seared steak tips.
>>20473091 beyond meat products are not cheap.
>>20473244Yeah they are. Nobody buys them and they always reduce them 50% before they spoil.
>>20473252OK, so specifically (maybe upload some receipts) how much does each product cost regular price and then reduced? And what happens when none are marked down?
>>20473244They're about double the price of cheap meat, cheap for a good tasting meat alternative. I didn't mean regular cheap but it's not that much more expensive, the taste is closer than other fake meat brands, and the animals don't have to suffer. It's probably cheaper than humane versions of meat which I doubt are humane but are the absolute base line for what could legally be called humane.
>>20473078Only faggots play fiddles.
>>20473356This is a poor people food thread
>>20462482>>20462504I have 0€ in savings and will slit your throat irl if given the opportunity
>>20462491It's usually not expensive. Just a little more expensive but we're talking about a dollar more per container for a superior product. And it's stuff like that which can offset the bland and boring cheap meat, tortillas, bread or whatever you use.
>>20473396Poor people can eat a decent meat alternative at a decent price.People are able to sell their soul for greed by doing something in a soulless manner to maximize profit.It's cheaper than humane sources and those places are likely scamming people's expectations.
>>20467888checked and confirmedlost 40+ lbs last year starving myself and fasting for a week at a time. hit target weight and started eating "normal" again, some of the weight came right back. wife and I went carnivore (she had been struggling to loose weight for a while) peeled back down to target weight quicker than fasting.I also cut out beer and switched to whiskey. only cook with lard, tallow, or real butter. eggs, meat, dairy. that is all you need. other health issues have also cleared up just from the change in diet.
>>20471749I was just thinking about this yesterday.Best 90s Carpenter movie imo.

Most of this shit is actually expensive. If you want cheap meals that are actually balanced buy low quality whole chickens and cook stews it with rice or lentils or beans or whatever else you can get for cheap. It will demolish your price per meal and calories of bullshit like hotdogs + tortillas + beer + whatever, while also being better food than half the stuff you could get with more money anyway.
