extremely cheap food

[Demilich]

Thanks for making me fucking hungry with that picture! good thing I had several similar things for lunch!

like onion and salt?

 

[Ellestin]

green lentils, onion and bacon chops. Boil the first 20 min in salted water, braise the second in the fat from the third. Mix. Add pepper. One of the most satisfying meals in my end-of-month gastronomic schedule, not to mention tasty.

You can also try what I coocked yesterday:

You cut like 3-5 medium potatos by rounds (thin pieces, a bitch thicker than chips) and put in the plate for an oven or microwave, then cut onion by small pieces, then grate 1 medium carrot, then cut fresh tomatoes by rounds (like for pizza, they better to cover all your dish), then grate some cheese on the whole thing and in the end - mix 1/1 sour creme and mayonese (you can also add garlic and dill there) and put on the very top of the dish... (the last part is not necessary, but it adds this special taste). Then throw that shit into the oven for 40 minutes (180-200 C).
Don't forget to put a drop of an oil on the plate before putting potatoes on it. All ingredients go by layers - on on one. Salt potatoes and tomatoes, and maybe add some pepper too.
I swear, it's very tasty and doesn't seem to be expensive...

Here's mine (with stuffed eggs on the background):

i just did this

A++ would eat again, very flavorful for having so few ingredients

i used red lentils though because that's what i had handy. note to self: salt the water more carefully next time; the bacon is pretty salty in itself

I guess he is referring to the restricted area around Chernobyl. Perhaps influenced by playing the excellent PC game "Stalker".

Correct, had no negative meaning implied, just too much S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

What's the outlay of the area around your apartment? Could you hunt for small game if Frank dealt you a firearm?

Potatoes, rice, assorted vegetables and spices (which are also cheap).
Beans and other legumes (lentils, chick peas, etc) are also great sources of fillingness and decently healthy.

My Puerto Rican friend, Juan, vouches for chicken, rice, and beans.

Afaik Wasa is a brand. What's the product?

knäckebröd


Common Serving methods in germany:
normal cheese
goat cheese
tomatoes, pepper, olive oil and basil
tomato butter (tomato paste, garlic, onion, some spices and BUTTER)

Also common but I hate them:
cheese that smells like feet (with names like Alte Swede) (old swedish)
cheese that smells like rotting feet (should have names like: Hockey Gear Diarhea Piss Rotting Corpse Medley)

My suggestion? Pull all your money, buy a large chunk of pork and a loaf of bread. Rub the pork with seasoning (rosemary, basil, garlic, etc.), cook at about 200 for 8 or so hours... make yourself a sandwich, store, eat the next few days. 15 bucks will last you a week as you experiment with the different sandwich types you can come up with for just that one meat.

Any meat will work really. It's all about how you cook it. You cook it nice and slow, shit'll stay juicy for ages.

Anyone made anything with Wasa before? I had a coupon for a free package of it, and now I don't know wtf to do with it.

"put" it in your "mouth"

best knäckebröd pålägg:

* sliced boiled eggs and swedish "kaviar"*
* "leverpastej" and pickled cucumber
* "hushållsost"

you can also break it into pieces and eat it in "filmjölk"


* "In Scandinavia, a significantly cheaper version of caviar, made from mashed and smoked cod roe (smörgåskaviar or sandwichkaviar), is sold in tubes as a sandwich filling. When sold outside Scandinavia, the product is referred to as creamed smoked roe or in French as Caviar de Lysekil, named after the Swedish coastal town of Lysekil from which this type of caviar may have originated."

Bread butter, slices of boiled potatoes that have been chilled in the fridge over night, and grillkrydda.
