Do you cook for yourself, Sup Forums?
Could you cook for yourself?
Can you take what's available and make it not only blandly nutritious, but palatable?
It's a skill that a man should have. Not everyone needs to be a fancy chef, but you should be able to cook, if you have to, without it being horrible.
A five pound bag of beans and a twenty-five pound bag of rice will go a long way, if it comes down to that.

I live alone so cooking for myself takes too much time and money.
cooking for yourself is cheaper than buying fast food. and it's usually healthier.
once you've stocked up on staples, the cheapest fast food you can get is still twice as expensive for the amount of calories and protein you can get from cooking at home.
I can cook. It's a skill that any person should have, honestly. Had to teach it to myself since my mother can't cook and regarded it as a chore so she did her best to avoid cooking all her life.
When I started to teach it to myself I realized how my childhood was basically ruined by shitty food. The only stuff I ate was processed shit and stuff you can heat up in the microwave. I was repulsed by fresh fruits, vegetables and fish and any "fresh" tastes textures because I was so used to the ready-made stuff it took me the longest time to adept and to appreciate freshly cooked meals.
Cooking should really be taught throughout middle and highschool
I can cook. I can only make two tasty meals though. Still, 80% of what I eat is nutritious and healthy even if it tastes like wet dirt.
No, it should be taught by your parents, just like other important life skills like tying your shoes and managing money.
School is for academia, not parent replacement.
Get a bag of rice or pasta get bulk canned tomatoes (50c or under) bag of onions, garlic spice, meat of some kind frozen mixed vegetables.
Cook it all
Mix it
Freeze it
Now you got 20 meals for $15 to $25.
I know heaps of mates that do this and freeze it, I prefer to make fresh meals everytime after work even if it takes an hour sometimes, I still do it dirt cheap but it is slightly more expensive buying fresh veg and fruit
Same my dad could cook great my mom finally learned from me.. I taught my wife lol now I cook way less life is better
Can you follow directions with any modicum of success? Then within a few weeks you can fucking cook. How is this even a thing, there are literally millions of free videos on how to cook and recipes online. Cooking is a very simple basic skill and not difficult.
Is it common in the US for people to not know how to cook?
making food is easy as shit. a kid could do it. the hard part is growing it
depends what you are making whether it's simple or not, seems like you've never cooked before.
yeah most eat take out 4-5 times a week when I was over in the states for work, it's actually a good alternative cause it can be cheaper than buying ingredients in some instances, although unhealthy as all fuck.
Yes and my food is pretty damn good. I pity those who eat their processed garbage.
It might interest you to know that OP just asked if you knew how to cook. Not if you were a michelin star chef. To get nutrients out of a food, you don't need to be a master chef. In fact, cooking it less is probably better nutrition wise
Ultimately it boils down to this:
>you can cook
>you are a soy boy
I only cook at the weekend, within the week I eat at the restaurant or snack bar and nothing else or bread at the evening.
When I cook, nothing special, mainly vegetables and meat plus some spices in a pan.
>inb4 that isn't cooking user
I have cooked myself my whole adulthood. But I have still skills to improve with handling meat. I have been fishing and gutting (is this the right term?) the fish myself few times. But I have no experience with other animals.
The whole idea is just surreal to me. Even a kid knows how to make a casserole here.
>You can't cook
>You're a lazy fuck
No, I have a waifu for that. Faggot.
depends, it's better to eat some veg cooked like tomatoes cause it releases nutrients that only come out when heated and sometimes better to eat other things raw like broccoli cause when you boil that lots of the nutrients are destroyed.
Child shouldn't be punished by retarded parents. Also if all it takes to replace the parents is to teach some life skills, maybe it's better if the state handles the kids of those parents.
yeah I was raised with an understanding of how to cook by watching mummy dearest and work/man ethic through watching and helping dad with the yard, it's always good to be a jack of all trades if you can.
To be fair, how much energy does someone who works 10-12 hours a day of actual labor have when he gets home? Personally I just want to sleep, but I'll shovel something quick and easy down my throat first. I still make stuff on my days off though
>cooked tomatoes
unless its pasta sauce thats just gross man
>It's a skill that a man should have
on point OP
i suggest starting of with italian cuisine (still the best in the world imho)
a good pasta is a great foundation to build on and learn from for example
try making dishes from all over europe and start combining their strenghts then
asian cuisine is mainly for experimenting around but its still considered to be the most innovative with the highest potential today
i am 26 now and i have never met a girl at the same age that can compete with me in the kitchen
its always the same: she observes me preparing a meal and goes like "oh damn i wish i could cook like you"
you can always immediatly feel that she is embarassed because originally its her fucking job to prepare a well balanced and classy meal ffs
if you steal that profession aswell you make sluts generally useless once more
i really endorse cooking to all of you anons
drinking some red wine and listening to music while preparing a dish is like therapy and always worth the effort you put in
Wendy's chef here, all Chad must know how to cook.
nah mummy makes me tendies
Yes, of course. Not only are most stuff sold outside full of carcinogenic chemicals, but most also don’t taste very good.
Organic produce might seem expensive but I recognize their benefits in the long run.
Yes
>eating the carb jew
>i have never met a girl at the same age that can compete with me in the kitchen
Many women today can't do things that women used to do. On the other hand, they can't do things men do and men can do a lot of things that women used to do. So what's the value of today's woman then?
>i am 26 now and i have never met a girl at the same age that can compete with me in the kitchen
Same, and I can't even cook that good. It's sad to be honest how bad women are at housekeeping these days
are you a paleo diet faggot?
Oh fuck off. Cooking is simple. Being a chef is completely different.
>falling for the no-carb jew
...
Chipped beef next to a bike tire, how very British
it's called shit on a shingle you dum dum head
total disgrace
imagining being some generic slut in the 30s that doesnt even compensate her lack of basic skills with some intellect while her appearance goes down every day
god i love being a man
stop shilling and advertising your shit thread
Thank god I have a gf who can cook well so we have together we a menu so big that we will never get bored.
But anyway, many women seriously need to start to think what they have to offer for men. Sadly, it's not much in many cases.
>A five pound bag of beans and a twenty-five pound bag of rice will go a long way, if it comes down to that.
I'd rather kill myself than live off of beans and rice

>a gf who can cook
yeah thats a huge advantage
you should really keep her then
i remember my ex gf
she was actually not capable of doing anything on her own even the most simple things
such a shame really
>coming up with a menu for a woman you're not going to fuck
christ on a stick
what do I have a wife for?
but yeah, I could cook if needed
She's my niece leaf.
>implying I haven't fucked her
Nice
maybe he is fucking his niece who knows
add lots of thyme to your potatoes
roast the bacon with brown sugar if you like it very crispy
some grinded nutmeg and a little rubbed of orange/lemon peel could add some nice extra flavour to the sauce
cooking isn't really necessary. I mostly eat straight from the garden.
city dwellers are the ones who are gonna be fucked when the SHTF
Nothing grows in the god forsaken cities. Those people will first eat cat and dogs, and then each-other.
While living with my parents I got tired of my old man's shit cooking (my mother did most of the actual earning, go figure) and started cooking. Mostly I stick to European cuisine with the notable exceptions of Cajun and Southern food.
I feel you there Kraut, I grew up hating steaks and porkchops because my father would cook them into unseasoned shoe leather.
no definitely not I eat rice and wholegrain where I can but I try to limit my carbs, but I do like bread
I made myself a slow cooked chicken korma tonight, during the weekdays I just make myself a meat and three veg.
of course i can. every normal woman can
Made this for dinner today
>add lots of thyme to your potatoes
I have fresh thyme in my herb garden. Can't believe I didn't think of that.
>roast the bacon with brown sugar if you like it very crispy
The bacon is wrapped around the tenderloin so I suppose I could roll it in brown sugar but I don't want the sugar to burn on the grill. 500 degrees and all.
>some grinded nutmeg and a little rubbed of orange/lemon peel could add some nice extra flavour to the sauce
That sounds like a great addition to the bourbon sauce.
Thanks German bro, one day I might find my way back to the fatherland if you guys ever go back to being German.
I know you're shitposting but my inner wop is screaming for me to strangle you and dump you in the bay.
My hobby is cooking. I'm writing a cook book right now with my gf.
Australia.. this doesn't surprise me.
yeah cooking is actually enjoyable and soothing as well as practical, it's one of the highest forms of human expression, it's art if you will
needs more vegemite
marry me svetlana and get me out of this cucked country i call home
>500 degrees and all
bbq time! i always wanted to have a authentic american bbq
sure you are welcome
things are on the move over here bro
i also think about your country alot and pray for the best
>vegemite
at least thats actually good for you
anyone who cant cook themselves a half decent meal should suck a shotgun.
lol
ok. how is this not considered a slide thread?
serious. no memes pls
I just boil rice, lima beans, tilapia, and chicken bones to make rice soup. It's simple, edible, cheap, and something I can leave on the stove while I'm off doing other shit.
>Cooking should really be taught throughout middle and highschool
It is in the UK but its optional
100% If I had time I would love to teach people from low economic status make nutritious meals for their families. I'm sick of seeing fat children everywhere.
And what exactly have men to offer except being a provider which isn't needed anymore nowadays?
This is wrong. You can easily cook a big cottage pie or hotpot that will last you for 4 days in the fridge. I used to buy whole joints of pork and cook it up and slice it to make my own ham and it was far cheaper than buying shitty watered down packet ham.
>ok. how is this not considered a slide thread?
>serious. no memes pls
The thread is about men being able to do things for when the race war starts.
I have someone to make meals for me.
I make the best nachos I've ever had though
a worthy goal user, the world would be a better place if people knew how to actually cook nutritious meals for themselves, would also slightly raise IQ's. Poor diet is linked to unending psychological and physical problems.

the serbs get it
Most of the men can still fix and build things at home. All of those things come handy from time to time. And as I said, they can also do what women used to do. Women haven't learned any new skills.
