The current state of my pantry . Some I will eat plain or with the flavoring packets that they ship with, others will serve as the base for random concoctions added on top - everything from tinned beef stew thru rotisserie chicken to things like jalapeño poppers, potato bites, stuffed potato skins, falafels, fried eggs (of course) and more. Anything and everything cheap and calorific.

I made onion soup from scratch. The french kind au gratin. It was better then nice.
Cheap too. I bought 5kg of onions on sale in a whim. Now I've committed myself to finding out how to make onion-jam or -spread.
Woohoo 🤦‍♀️

"Wow, that's delicious! What is it?"

"It's Japanese Kobe beef with Greek saffron and Italian white Alba truffle sauce."

• unimaginative
• pretentious
• expensive
• one-off
• lame

"Oh, I asked the butcher if he had some leftovers for dogs, and then I fried them in butter, garlic and whatever spices I liked."

• impressive
• actual skill
• pure culinary prowess
• prolly does this every other day
• dog (furry exclusive)

I'm always on the lookout for super cheap recipes for people trying to stretch their food budget; cheap plus simple is the gold standard. Well, litotes and metonyms, I found a pretty good chili with just five ingredients:

CRAZY SIMPLE CHILI

1 lb ground beef
15 oz tomato sauce
15 oz kidney beans (drained)
15 oz chili beans (undrained)
2 Tbsp chili powder

Cook the beef into crumbles, add the other ingredients, simmer until it's bubbly. That's it. That's like $3 plus whatever a pound of beef costs, and it takes a half hour.

Chili experts will no doubt tell me that it would be better with more ingredients; and they're right! I'm just going for what I consider the simplest recipe that still constitutes good chili. By all means, improve upon this recipe as you see fit.

Will add that I made this today but with fake vegan beef, and it tasted exactly like normal chili, but was 100% vegan.

Oh, the original source of the recipe:

Pizza spuds (1 serving)

2 cooked, cold, peeled and diced potatoes
2dl pizza sauce
1/2 dl grated cheese
2tblsp fat - preferably butter
salt, pepper.

Fry the potatoes in the fat, salt and pepper. Once the pieces have golden crusts pour over the pizza sauce. When the sauce is boiling take the pan off the heat and stir in most of the cheese - use the rest for decoration after plating.

Eat in front of your favourite c-drama. Bon apetit!

A 46-oz Steinfeld's pickle jar painted black with one line masked out for viewing the food through the side: a great bean pot in the #solaroven! Frijoles de la olla del sol. I could have used a traditional bean pot (olla de barro) as long as it's dark colored on the outside, but I don't have one, and I did have this.
Looks kinda weird but they turned out extremely tender with no split #beans or tough skins, and the broth is delicious (I brined the beans overnight first). Also no electricity, gas, or wood, and no stirring or checking needed. Dry beans are the cheapest high protein food (#vegan and otherwise!) , but few people cook them because it takes so long and uses a lot of energy. A great choice for #solarcooking to #feedtheworld. #diy #solar #cheapfood #solarpunk

Chiki Chiki
Shop 2 / 187 Elizabeth Street

Starting from $7.80 for a plain soup udon up to more pricey items, there is a lot of choice here even rice if you prefer. I had the beef soup noodle for $11.80. Before paying you pass by a “sides” counter for additional price per item so freedom of choice.

Toppings is free flow and there is quite a lot of seating place at the back.

Thai Viet Bibigo
4/113 Swanston St, Located in the Walk Arcade

This place has daily specials under $10. I feel the portion size is fare for the price. Today’s one was Japanese chicken curry for $8. Very competitive for a hot bowl of food in the CBD.

A couple of tables are available to seat down in the arcade and service is fast.

B3 Cafe
353 Little Collins St. & 15 Centre Place

$6.50 for a baguette fresh or toasted. I go for their brie and tomato fresh. Unbeaten pricing in the CBD. Shop gets busy quickly but they are fast serving so don’t get discouraged.

$9 for their longer baguette version. Check out their menu here b3cafe.com.au

Sal’s Authentic New York Pizza
289 Flinders Lane. They have more outlets in the CBD.

$10 for 1 pepperoni slice and 1 cheese slice.
Nice pizza dough and just the right amount of toppings. The slice size is just right and I think the price point is fair.

This outlet offers some indoors seating (booth or counter).

2 pizza slices: left side pepperoni, right cheese. Nice golden colours. Not too much toppings.The pizza dough is not too heavy and has some air bubbles in it.
