>struggle meal recipe>white wine is listed in the ingredients
>>21108266>can't afford a bottle of $2 wine.
>>21108269white wine boxes are 10 $cad in canacuckland, anon
>>21108266Wines real fucking cheap buddo
>>21108269Its not 2001, thats now $4 wine. Also, if you're broke maybe skip $4 wine.
>>21108266You can find cheap wine, or you can just substitute with stock, wine is just for deglazing most of the time, and you can deglaze with just about any liquid really, even plain water if you're really desperate; hell, a lot of pasta sauce recipes call for you to use the starchy pasta water to both deglaze a pan, and thicken the sauce. Most French sauces are just deglaze and add butter. Wine gives a dish a little extra sweetness and acidity, a little depth of flavor, but it's not necessary if you're really hard up that you can't afford some rotgut only good for cooking. fuck it, buy a natty ice and deglaze with that lol
>>21108275ooh la la $4!you can find an extra 2 bucks in the couch cushions or on the sidewalk
>>21108269>poor>spending money on alcoholone way trip to the cardboard box, chief
even hobos can afford some wine, anon
Oh, no! All those sauces listed as base sauces :O
I do not buy wine as I am not a woman or European
>>21108281this, fucking bota box/barefoot box wine is a couple bucks>>21108278also this.>buy a natty iceunderrated comment, I've seen "use a beer/Guinness to deglaze" plenty of times
>>21108279oh fuck I forgot my couch prints $2 every week and sidewalks are lined with money as well. Maybe I can just find $50 in an old jacket every week too!
>>21108356Irish beef stew is essentially just beef burgundy, but with Guinness instead of burgundy.
>>21108266anon wine is literally $9 for a gallon.
>>21108365Listen, kid, if hobos can find a way to get blackout drunk every day, or get high as shit on meth and fentanyl every day, you can find a way to afford a box of cheap wine that you only use for cooking, it pretty much doesn't go bad. Just treat it like any other staple, you don't complain that a bag of flour costs two bucks, because you're going to be using it a lot and it's cheaper in the long run. That four dollar box wine lasts forever, you're using a few cents worth of it in most of these recipes.
What kind of struggle meal isn't simply beans and rice desu ka?
>>21108394Most pasta recipes. Aglio e olio, it's just pasta, oil, garlic. Carbonara, eggs pasta, Parm, bacon (guanciale is not an easy to find or cheap cut in the US). Cacio e pepe, pasta, black pepper, parm.
what is a struggle meal? sounds like a meal that is difficult to prepare
>>21108413A meal you make when struggling financially. Meaning you make it from cheap goods and produce to get by on.
>>21108280i don't understand how people get down to $20 to their name without losing their minds from stress and fear. what the fuck?
>>21108641well laddy, I bet you it all started with some rotten white wine
>>21108413it's when americans larp as poor people
To be fair, you're probably drinking if you're struggling
>>211082661/3 white vinegar 8%, 2/3 water, and a bit of sugar
>>21108641It's just a little resiliency, what's the big deal? you're soft as baby shit
>>21108278Why does everyone say to use water? Use vinegar. Then you at least get the acidity wine adds. And it also just chemically deglazes better than water.
>>21108266Clearly sponsored by Big Wine to get you addicted.
>>21108278>or some fresh cold water if times are tough
>>21108869btw, I've heard that they make wine in California. nuff said
>>21108266>use a splash of wine in your recipe>get the rest of the bottle to stop the shakes>???>profit
>struggle meal>uses more then 4 ingredients
>>21108266you want some cheeeese with that whiiiiine
>>21108266Wine is cheap as fuck and you can substitute for white-wine vinegar or, better yet, picrel.
>>21108266the real struggle is living with how stupid you are
>>21108387*bourginon
>>21108266Post the recipe, I do not believe it was touted as a struggle meal with wine as an ingredient. Every struggle meal I see is like hamburger helper tier, you were just looking at a recipe
Just buy boxed wine, it's unironically cheaper and higher quality than bottom shelf wines. They're able to offset the difference because they sell bulk and with cheaper packaging.Also, stop worrying so much about wine when you cook. Nuance and flavor only matters in wine when you're drinking it from a glass, people aren't going to notice those distinctions when you've literally had meat soaking in it. All you really care about for cooking purposes is that it's acidic, grape flavored, and doesn't taste like shit.
>>21108269couldn't be me
>>21108266there's struggle meal (poor) or struggle meal (depression)
>>21108266poor people always have alcohol lying around
>>21108266use lemon or vinegar, but there are cooking wines that are cheaper than regular white one bottles.
>>21108365I remember when I had 0$ in the bank account. I just started walking the streets. Found two gift cards for grocery stores.
>>21108641most people simply don't think that far ahead
Every supermarket I shop has food at reduced like 50% off prices I can't understand how people wouldn't be able to afford to eat, I can only conclude they're not creative with their cookingI walk past sometimes like a pallet of discounted food and I could genuinely deconstruct it all into proteins/carbs/vegetable/dairy etc and build edible nourishing meals from it.Like when the store was selling kg of gnocchi for like a dollar, if I was genuinely fucking broke and starving I'd evade actuall death from that gnocchi
1/4 cup of white wine goes in the recipe, butt chug the rest to help you forget how broke you are
I don't think I've ever seen that, it's usually just a can of lentils and some chicken wings or something.Please post proofs
>struggle recipe>includes meatnot real poverty
Use dry vermouth retard.
>>21108767To be fair, you're probably struggling because you're drinking.
>>21111544Local chain started doing the same with things that are a couple of weeks from going off which means that dairy is perpetually 50% off, it's a total logistics fuck up because it means that nobody is paying full price for dairy ever
>>21112052if you're poor, nutritionally dense meat (like chicken or fish) should be one of the biggest parts of your diet. are you the type of broke retard that spends all your food money on ramen noodles and spaghetti-os?
>>21112259Checkmate: I buy whole chickens then I stretch it by making 2 packages of instant ramen with 2 soft boiled eggs, corn in the cob I slice using a cleaver, onion and garlic, one jumbo chicken quarter I pan fried, teaspoon of chilli oil, teaspoon of sesame oil, splash of lemon and splash of soy sauce and I split it in 3 meals
>>21112259have you heard of beans?
>>21112409this nigga eatin beans
>>21108641Addiction will do that. As long as you can get your next fix you’re doing ok
>>21108279actually, not really. hardly anyone carries cash or coins anymore and i have no furniture besides a camping chair
>>21108641It’s not their fault
>>21111533Don’t have to before the “economy” decided you needed way more money
>>21108266I use sake. it lasts longer.
>>21108266this could last 4 - 6 struggle meals if you do it right, OP = faggot
