These people are ignorant.
Do you know what you can do with soupbones(I bet they could get them free) some veggies and a little bit of meat?
I could feed 10 people good on 10 bucks if I had to
Dry beans too. My mom used to make pintos, corn and biscuits on weeks my dad was laid off. I didn’t starve. The pinto’s were pennies a bag and a can of corn was cheap too.
And for a treat, we would take the “almost expired sale” can biscuits and make donuts out of them. Cinnamon and sugar sprinkled donuts. Yum.
Well, yes actually.
But it requires time. And work. Can’t expect that of these folks, can we?
Amen. I love to make bean soup and split-pea soup with ham bones. It takes little ham too. Delicious and especially on cold fall and winter evenings - nothing better than a nice hot bowl of hearty soup and a crusty roll.
Exactly, these people don’t know how to cook is their problem.
I take great pride in turning a cheap, tough piece of meat like shank or cheek, cheap wine and some basic vege into a classic meal that satisfies without busting any budget.
Sure, I love my ribeye, but sometimes hanger steak will do fine and is preferred.
