budgie: favorite poor/bachelor foods

budgie 04.29.25	gim food ideas
artiswar 04.29.25	wtf is Tapatio sauce. Sweet potatoes are pretty sweet. Soy sauce is disgusting
SomeCallMeTim 04.29.25	Tapatio is of of the only good hot sauces you’ll get at a restaurant when you ask for hot sauce Baked potato is the way to go. Add on whatever toppings you want / can swing. Black beans seasoned well are also relatively cheap and make great healthy protein / refrigerate nicely for a couple days
NexCeleris 04.29.25	If your wallet's too thin for fresh produce, the answer is dried legumes. It's all about the sauce anyways. Speaking of which, harissa, sambal oelek, ajvar and/or red (Thai) curry paste are all comparably inexpensive considering how many servings you get out of them unless you're a spicelord. Add your choice of canned tomatoes (or preferrably passata from glass bottles), coconut milk, cumin, curcuma, coriander seed, mustard seed etc. for a quick and tasty meal. Tzatziki is also easy to make yourself and goes great with most vegetables and meats. No clue re: the price of Greek yogurt in the US tho. And if calories don't matter, Penne al baffo. Super quick prep.
budgie 04.29.25	fresh produce is actually super affordable over here, cabbage, turnips, parsnips, carrots, are all stupidly cheap. cabbages can be under $2 for 1kg lentils good shout though too, super mindlessly easy to cook. i like buckwheat but it's kind of a "premium" food because it's so niche so not really worth the cost harissa is the shit, i tried making some once and it turned out pretty awesome too, toasted celery seeds and caraway seeds then processed it with some garden peppers and a lot of garlic
Sharenge 04.29.25	porridge - it has 'poor' right in the name + splash of milk, dollop of peanut butter and some frozen blueberries I think I will make this right meow
NexCeleris 04.29.25	Making harissa yourself is next level. I should try that some time. Store-bought lasts me so long I hadn't even thought about it.
budgie 04.29.25	i think harissa traditionally uses like, roasted hot peppers, i didn't do that i just grabbed them and processed them fresh, but it still worked fine. so if you want to skip that step doesn't seem like a huge issue. toasting the seeds on a hot dry pan is good though and easy enough! makes them super aromatic the store bought harissa i get is just in a tube and i go through it pretty quickly honestly. it's called le phare du cap bon? (lighthouse of cape good?)
Trebor. 04.29.25	peanut butter in a hot dog bun
bludngorevidal 04.29.25	Refried beans. Add protein (ground shmeat, tofu, snausage) and dairy product (cheese, sour cream, raita) of your choice plus hot sauce
DoofDoof 04.29.25	wanted something sweet for lunch today to mix it up, and all I could find in the house was a tin of rice pudding, honey and some bananas...worked out ok :/ That's under £1.50
