When your mothers boyfriend takes you out to eat, what do you order? We'll start there.
>>
I'm in the same boat as you, I'm definitely no cook or anything but buying packets of like 5 chicken breasts and keeping them in your freezer is good practice. They can go with rice, sandwiches, buffalo sauce, pasta, basically anything. I also buy potatoes to cut up, roll in olive oil, and bake for some quick fries as a snack. Add cheese and they're delicious. That being said though, I would also like to know some ideas from people who can actually cook.

Also what kind of cookware do you have? Gas stove?

Everytime.
Is it possible that the smell of food can satisfy the cravings?

Mango is easily S tier, but I'm gonna have to say Cantaloupe.

>>9278007
Wait do you like melons generally? Or just cantaloupes specifically?
>>
>>9278020
I do like them in general, but Cantaloupe is a king amongst melons.

Do you prefer natural peanut butter with oil separation or peanut butter that remains solid at room temperature?

natural for cooking
emulsified for toast.
crunchy always

>>9277853
I like the idea of natty peanut butter but honestly I'd rather just use jif or some shit because I only really use it for sandwiches
>>
>>9277853
>or peanut butter that remains solid at room temperature
I'll take either, but I prefer this one. I always have several jars of peanut butter on hand. It's amazing foodstuff.

Can't cook any dishes that need Balsamic vinegar because I can't afford the real stuff.
How has being poor affected your cooking/diet enjoyment?

You don't need Balsamic vinegar for anything. So what the Sicilians do and just put a little sugar with your red wine vinegar.

Is balsamic vinegar really that expensive? Here you can buy an above average-tier one for less than 5€/L
Obviously if you want fancy stuff you can get to 200€/L easily but for normal cooking you don't really need those
Lets cook some steak dinner.
The first step is to beat your hot dog bun into a plank and then let it dry out so we can mince it back into flour; I forgot I didn't have flour so I need a thickening agent in my mushroom sauce, this will be it.
Stay tuned.

Anyone else here not interested in sweet and sugary food? Give me a second helping of a main dish before a pile of sugar and cream any day. I can't comprehend why people want to eat this stuff after a proper meal, as though it has to be done, or as though they wish they didn't want it but can't help themselves, or as a treat. What the fuck? Have another helping of something that isn't pure diabetes. You didn't enjoy it, or didn't have enough?

>being this bothered by what other people do
Do you have panic attacks when the waiter asks if you want dessert?
Do you have any friends not scared of visiting you?
>>
I love sweetness, but I hate sugar. So I pour a mound of aspartame on anything I want to be sweet.

Do you have panic attacks when someone doesn't serve any dessert? Do you head home to eat a big bowl of ice cream?

Guys, try a pressure cooker.

Can attest, pressure cookers are the greatest damn thing.

You threw the spaghetti noodles in the pressure cooker as well ? Wouldn't they be mush ?
>>
>>9276999
Not the noodles. Just the sauce.
I'll experiment later with noodles, but for now they're a separate item cooked the traditional way.

I have access to a licensed sidewalk food cart. It's current configuration a small cast iron griddle and two full size steam tables. However, the griddle can be removed making it three steam tables. I'm leaning toward selling nachos because it's pretty much my favorite comfort food. What do you guys think?

What your favorite food is doesn't matter at all in this context. What matters is what your customers will want, and that's difficult to discuss since you didn't bother to mention anything about your location.

>>9276710
Who the fuck wants to eat nachos on the street?

>>9276722
Just another average Midwest town. I can tell you this though, the single busiest food truck in our area offers tasty (but nothing even approaching "authentic" Tex-Mex).
