Avocado and canned tuna for the win baby.

Imagine if you had to hunt for it.

And after all that cooking turns out you have leftovers for like 1 extra meal at best

Meals in countries that take food seriously last longer and are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. Its just our shitty culture that causes this problem.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What do you mean by countries that take food seriously? I lived in a few different countries (never in the US) and can't really picture that

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

If food is viewed and enjoyed as an experience rather than a necessity as a culture, I think it leads to huge shifts in so many aspects of daily living.

I dont mean EVERY meal but getting together with neighbors, family, friends ect. is more common in places like Italy for example.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The US also has literal holidays centered around sharing a meal with friends or family. Thanksgiving turkey, 4th of July barbecue...

I'd wager the reason people eat in 10 minutes instead of an hour is the same as it is everywhere else: after an 8 hour workday, you feel like all you've got between work and sleep is a few hours and you don't want to waste it on something boring like eating.

Weekly meal prep. Yeah it means repeated meals, but you can switch it up every week. It's the only way I get by. Plus I feed 5-6 people. So I'm not making one meal at a time, I'm making twenty or thirty.

You forgot the 40+ hours of work a week just to afford the ingridients.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

You forgot breathing in and out 24/7 to stay alive to get to your soul-sucking job.

Clean as you go and there is very little left to be done after the meal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Remember, you are dealing with people that never cook, and for some reason think they know what they're talking about.

Your Count.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

So true! I am trying to cook one pot or bake recipes, dump it all and forget about it. It is the only way not to go insane with 1000 pots and dishes to clean.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

OK, tell me what in the world you are cooking that takes two hours. And putting something in the oven for an hour is not really any work, is it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You underestimate how bad we can be at cooking. It takes me like an hour just to peal and chop up ingredients for even a simple dish like mashed potatoes or stir fry.

For real, folks need to watch more Jamie Oliver. Condense your pans and ingredient lists, make sauce for a few days, use parchment paper, etc

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The one who cooks shouldn't be the one to clean unless, of course, you live alone.

My demented father cannot even use the bathroom correctly. He will not help me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

What happened to all that Spaghetti-Ohs money?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I live alone and I think this is a great idea

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Hmm... Maybe after dinner, take a walk and ask random strangers to do your dishes. 😆

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hire prostitutes and make them do your dishes. Tell them it’s your kink.

Lucky you! I've got a simple solution, only use single use plastic, then all you have to do is just put a big plastic bag over your table and when you're done eating you just pick up the bag, close it all up and throw it away and that way you just leave the problem to your grandchildren and they'll die from climate change.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (5 children)

You do the cooking with single use plastic too?
