Hey /ck/!I have 10kg of very boiled, very tasteless, very nondescript chicken meat, courtesy of my local hospital kitchen.Any cool ideas on what to do with it?
>10 kghow much is that in freedom units?
>>21686027Freeze it then use it in stuff where other things will cover the blandness like soups.
>>21686027chiggen jergy
>>21686027Freeze it and add it to your instant noodles.
>>21686038Yup. Shreds in soups, stews, or particularly strong sauces would all work nicely.

>>21686049hey man, free food is free food
>>21686027Burrito, taco, stews, rice, make burgers out of it.>>21686035it's a shitload probably 50 pieces at least.
>>21686049The ones around here at least took the "lol hospital food" thing as a challenge and are legitimately quite good now (if very undersalted).
Make some chicken spread for everyday consumption
>>21686027When in doubt you can never go wrong with cramming.
>>21686056One of their problems, as someone who had to do some hospital time, is that they have to start with the most bland options for people who are falling apart and can barely digest anything, might have high blood pressure, or whatever.I broke my pelvis in an accident in the UK and had to spend time in both UK and American hospitals, and they can only do so much to not fuck with people's blood pressure, give them nasty terrible shits, or whatever. Making enough base food for hundreds or more people is a challenge. I got to know some people in my time there that did their best to make things palatable.
>>21686027Do you have a dog?
>>21686027Cat food
>>21686083Yeah, they've got some pretty tough challenges to be sure. Where I had the most experience, they had a lot of variations for special restrictions (vegetarian, blood pressure issues, etc.) as well as more general categories (e.g. clear diets for the "can barely digest anything" crowd), but it was a pretty big hospital so they probably had more resources to address that kind of thing. I imagine smaller ones have to do more of a one-size-fits-most.

>>21686027chicken salad, into a tasty saucy pasta, or just cram it
>>21686027I like to make a white lasagna, which is chicken alfredo but lasagna. You'll want to hit them with a more-than-generous dash of salt and pepper, but that'll use up a good amount. Basic casseroles would be a good idea too. Shred it, little BBQ sauce and some good rolls and you've got a pulled chicken sandwich.
