I'm in my mid 20's and virtually everyone I know doesn't buy fresh vegetables. Whenever I go shopping (at different times of the day/week too), it's always 80% old people buying the fresh vegetables and 20% around my age. At most they'll buy those plastic pre-made salad packs. Even the ultimate basics like garlic, onions, etc., all get replaced by the powdered version (if they even get that). Most normies I know who say they can "cook" are just buying boneless/skinless chicken breast, ground meat, or shit cut steaks, and pairing it with white rice or a boiled potatoe. Or a mealpack like hamburger helper. Don't even get me started on spices and herbs.
Are they just going to start pre-packing everything or what?

>Are they just going to start pre-packing everything or what?
That's already started. You've got your subscription/delivery services like blue apron. And many supermarkets sell "kits" as well. My local chain has been stocking "stew kits" for a couple years now. You get a pack that contains the pre-cut meat, as well as the veggies and such all ready to go.

I honestly worry about this a lot too, its become increasingly awkward asking for shit like suet too, because most people (even those employed) have never heard of it.

I will admit that I do not always buy fresh veggies. If canned goods are on sale I will buy them (especially tomatoes) and keep them in my pantry since we only go to the store once a week and canned tomatoes (diced, whole, sauce, etc) if cheaper than buying fresh. Same with beans, but those are also for the convenience factor.
For fresh I almost always buy a sack of potatoes, a bag of onions, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, celery, etc.
Take a trip down the freezer section and look at the ready made meals section. I think they're called Voila, or something similar, literally a cup of penne pasta, some frozen veggies, and a scoop of alfredo sauce all for around $7. Don't even get me going on the frozen crockpot meals. Sure there has always been frozen pizzas, lasagnas, pot pies, and meals for one, but the number of dump-it-and-forget "meals" is appalling.

How do I make the skin crispy without broiler? Just put it on the top rack in the oven near the heating element?
Those youtube videos all show different stuff. Boil it first for a bit or straight in the oven? Whole layer salt on top then remove later or just a little bit of salt?

I have discovered the ultimate food of all time. It combines pizza, pancakes, and croissants into one.
Looks vomit-inducing. What do you call this abomination?
looks and sounds like reddit to me
So its flour + butter + sugar?
Truly revolutionary. Why didnt anyone come up with it sooner?
Bonus points if you can guess what state/province/territory and what ethnicity.
Here's a big hint.

favorite pizza toppings?
Pickles and shrimp for me, not necessarily on the same pizza
Black olives, anchovies, fresh tomato slices.
Canadian bacon
Roasted red peppers
BBQ/red onion/chicken/cilantro (as its own pie)
Fried egg
ham and pineapple
So is it just a meme food or does it at least taste decent?
Are these the eggs fermented in the urine of young boys or am I getting my """delicacies""" mixed up?
>>9258469
It doesn't taste that bad until you remember it's fermented eggs, then it might put you off if you're not used to exotic food
>>9258469
This looks like some fictional food, sounds cool. There's also some "Master stocks" in china that claim to be a hundred years old.
So my dad bought a bunch of cubed steak at the store and I've never seen this stuff before, much less used it. What even is this and what do I do with it?
You tell me and we'll both know
Make Sicilian steaks
>>9258462
Swiss Steaks dude. Idk the actual name but flour, brown and remove from pan, add tomato, onion, beef stock and garlic. scrape scrape scrape, make sauce taste good, add back the steak, simmer for like, an hour, covered, and g2g.
How come there people who think water is gross and refuse to drink it?
Your body NEEDS water! That mentality doesn't make any sense!
>>9258248
I've had friends like this. It's because "water doesn't taste good like Mtn Dew". They always had some kind of health problem and complained about them often. I'm sick of other Americans being stupid, that's why I hang out with all the stupid faggots on this shitty board.
Because they're used to drinking sugary crap.
Regardless, the "Your body NEEDS water" argument doesn't make sense. My body needs fats too, but drinking cooking oil would also be gross.
I drink water, but I don't like it. It dries out my mouth because it doesn't make me salivate but washes the remaining saliva away
What goes best with a can of peas, /ck/?

Where do I start, /ck/? Any good entry level brands? Do I try it first hot or cold? In that case, what's the best way to heat it up?
>>9257211
>In that case, what's the best way to heat it up?
In your anus.

Make a bong out of the jug and use the smaller things as egg cups.
Boil water and put the big serving jug in it for a few minutes

What would happen if a person ate nothing but baked beans for 20 years?
>>9256887
They would live a very healthy life
Eat regular beans in sauce. BBs have too much sugar.
Assuming they'd be taking other supplements (nutrients that the beans could not provide) and was eating enough beans to survive, they'd probably just smell a bit odd. Oh, and shit all over the place if you ate literally anything else.
