My favorite food is "melange" also called "gruel" by the less culinary people in my life. It consists primarily of a rice or noodle base, plus a bunch of other ingredients (usually sauteed) that are quite nutritious. Then, you season in a way such that it tastes delicious and savory and BOOM you have the perfect food. Well, not as good as steamed eggs, but still pretty good. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #17 fediverse/338 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-learning-to-cook │ └───────────────────────────┘ If you want to learn to cook, start with a sandwich. Then spaghetti sauce from a jar. Then sautee some vegetables and throw them on top of rice. Then go to the store, read the back of a tasty-looking package, and make the recipe it suggests. Then you know how to cook. Don't bother with online recipes. Also, more butter, more salt. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #18 fediverse/2784 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: food-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ @user-579 hehe sometimes all you have is whatever's on the fridge. in times like those, be thankful for your spices! that's what I've learned at least : ) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #19 fediverse/255 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: food │ └──────────────────────┘ hard boiled eggs are some of the greatest foods imaginable. they come in their own wrapper, which means they're better than everything except fruit. and they're savory, which means they're better than fruit! hard boiled eggs are the best food ever created ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #20 fediverse/3539 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: disordered-eating-food-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ @user-192 Good point it's sooooooo salty I have fond memories of eating a spoonful of that instead of making food back in college because... hey, it's got vegetables in it, right? turns out it's mostly just salt with flavor ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┘ |
