One of the most essential skills for any individual is to be able to effectively and reliably cook themselves a meal. Making yourself Toast or putting together a bow of Cereal does not count.
To shackle thyself to the resigned fate of depending upon others to cook for you is to willingly submit to an authority which has disproportionate control over your life, more so than any government institution. This dependence as seen with the obesity epidemic directly stems from Federal subsidies to the agricultural lobbies.
The cornerstone of this capability is to decrease individual independence from others, allowing you to examine your own mental and bodily health that stems from your own hands in the form of what you consume. With greater understanding of your faculties, confidence, stamina, and determination to forge a new path are far more readily available.
Others may say profess that the ease of obtaining cheap and sloppily made food far outweighs the benefits of preparing your own food, yet being able to diligently cook shall remain the hallmark of any redpilled user.
>healthy living >astute mental state >enlightened worldview
Based slide thread of truth. Reality is if you don't cook your food, somebody else is cooking it. Are you going to pay some random schmuck your whole life to make your food? What are you retarded?

Caleb Edwards

Sounds to be about as cancerous as the Slow-Food movement.
Cameron Walker
cook in season too, you will discover what lies on the other side of burgers, pizzas and tendies all day. And even ethnic food will seem less appealing once you re-discover the many depths of western cuisine.
Dominic Martinez
Women are okay cooks. Men can excel at cooking if they apply themselves
Xavier Ward
is this how finn faggot relaxes after spamming /ptg/ all day or is it just the flag of choice for retards
Leo Price
Weird flex but ok
Aaron Foster
I like Dijon Herb Tilapia, is it good, or how about Reubens?
Michael Bailey
OP, did you just learn to cook? I mean this is something most functional humans can do. I may not have 300 recipes memorized but I know how to cook some garden veggies, meat, make a stew and how to make a skillet of cornbread to go with it
Elijah Campbell
This. Almost all of the world’s great chefs historically have been men.
Anthony Ortiz
Agreed the bacon shrimp is A SHIT, A S HIT
Leo Walker
Man I used to have the hottest chick ever, she would wake me up with bjs and cook the best food I've ever eaten. I miss her
Justin Scott
At this point I saw fuck the muh cultural appropriation whiners and call their food ours. Then no need for the people. Lo mein and tacos are western now. Get out ching chong and pedro thanks for the recipes. Same for all the rest.
Luis King
Only jews and mudslimes don't eat bacon or shrimp.
Dylan Long
Jow Forums. Where everything is nasty and everything needs to look like five star cuisine. All good threads are similar it’s picky around here.
Daniel Hill
Wtf cooking is one of the most important skills you can learn, and you should learn what different things you eat contain and how they affect your body. Like literally wtf you are sub-human tier in this regard. I'm dissappointed
Zachary Roberts
Only trailer trash subhumans mix two meats together.
Grayson Miller
If cooking to you is a "skill" that has to be learned in the first place, you are beyond redemption. How can you know how not to cook?
Samuel Edwards

Noah Cox
There are levels to cooking. You can't compare a well crafted meal with ketchup on bananas.
look at this lad, he came out of his mom's vagina knowing how to cook. the blood in your mom's vagina must taste real good.
Lucas Thomas
Vegan cooking is redpilled
Ian Fisher
Cuban sandwiches are God tier, your tiny mind needs refinement sir
Christian Gutierrez
I'd rather not touch either if we're being honest.
Jack Perry
Who hurt you?
Isaac Wright
Refinement is the opposite of mixing meats. It's unsophisticated and barbaristic as fuck. If you can't enjoy one variety of meat a time, you deserve no meat at all.
Jose Jenkins
Why do you assume it’s from a can? You guys don’t have fresh shrimp over there?
Landon Lewis
If you don't think cooking is a skill, please spend the day in the back of a French restaurant and try your skills out.
Brayden Johnson
Now you know how I feel talking with you.
Xavier Walker
I used to be a cooklet until learning how to make an omelet and finding it fun and wanting to do more, also because I wouldn't need to rely on others to feed myself. I can't cook fancy shit but I know basics like eggs, pasta, frying some meat, next I want to learn how to cook potatoes and rice because it's so cheap and full of carbs.
Grayson Jenkins
>next I want to learn how to cook potatoes and rice
You can't be serious.
Zachary Smith
Who the fuck gets shrimp and bacon from cans? I've never in my life seen canned shrimp.
Aaron Torres
Culinary arts are more than mere cooking. It's a whole different area altogether.
Brayden Powell
Paella, gumbo, English breakfast, using a white stock in a red meat stew etc. Old school and traditional whole meats are all fine and dandy, but mixed meats have a place at the table if they happen to just click. What do you eat, reindeer boiled in fat exclusively?
Luke Anderson
cooking helps people connect back to the earth. most people don't connect their manufactured meals with the animals and plants that were sacrificed for it. for lack of a better analogy, cooking is like eating the body of christ.
Owen Roberts
One day you and I will hold hands at the local sauna. It will be you and me till the end.
I know that you just dump it in boiling water but I never tried personally because I never had a reason to, my dad is the cook around here.
Daniel Howard
>English breakfast
LOL. Implying English cuisine has ever been known for its sophistication. French laugh at English food. Italians laugh at English food Americans laugh at English food. You are just enforcing my point: mixing meats is vulgar.
Jaxson Hill
any other bachelor cookers here?
>Put food in pan >put small amount of water in pan >put lid on pan >set to low-medium heat >go away and play video games and let it steam >come back whenever and add salt to finish I have gotten pretty good at it, for instance i add meat and starch first to let cook the longest so they are well cooked before adding greens to keep them somewhat crispy. Pretty much never burn the pan and never use a timer.
Isaiah Sanchez
Only plebs use timers. Determining the quality of your food and using your own internal estimations in regards to time is what is needed.
Brayden Ortiz
But fresh shrimp is pretty cheap here user... I've never even heard of shrimp coming from a can.
Brandon Ramirez
So I'm guessing you've never had beef Wellington, Choucroute garnie, Bolognese basically any German dish, Gyros, Jambalaya, Cataplana, meatballs, sausage.....
Jacob Rivera
>Choucroute garnie
Is this high cuisine to you? It's just a glorified gas station meal
Do you only eat bland rice/potatoes/veggies/pasta? how do you live by only boiling shit?
Gavin Bell
I've been able to cook basic foods since I was 7 and this thread disturbs me. What is more disturbing that there was a conversation at work today and my coworker was so proud of his son making his first scrambled eggs. >How old is your son? >12
Gross. Get an actual fire going and cook meat on a smoky grill. You can do the same thing with low heat and slow cooking, but the flavor is much much better.
Jaxon Peterson
Opinions on soups? >Easy as fuck >Lasts for days >Can make it basically with anything

how many meals per day and how much money per meal?
Adam Barnes
lel is this a Jow Forums copypasta?
Ryan Rodriguez
That's the most basic meal I've ever seen. lel A chimp nigger could do better.
Jose Kelly
Cooking is so simple. Getting good at it just takes practice Being a great chef is hard though.
I can cook for myself, and my family all day long. I know what they like, how they like it, and just how long it takes. It's when I have to a be a short order cook, and start cooking for people with special diets, or are "picky eaters".
Btw a picky eater is literally just a bitch that doesn't know how to force down a meal.
Dominic Diaz
What's up, Trump?
Michael Bell
I don't bother with cooking, raw beef is fine too
Jordan Lee
I work as a cook, and the picky eaters in the staff are just white people who have only had shit food prepared by shit cook moms or dads. I get it if yuo dont like strong tasting things, but some people "dont like courgette" like fuck off man.
Ian Gray
I‘m trying to figure that out
Chase Russell

DAILY REMINDER Avoid using Teflon pans, it causes Cancer, it can literally shrink your dick (babies studies).
Use Iron or Stainless Steel. Also, what kind of degenerate can't make himself a couple of eggs, a steak and a salad?
>pound of pinto beans >pound of kidney beans >pound of beef >three cans of tomato paste >two fresh chopped tomatoes >two fresh chopped onions >two fresh chopped green bell peppers >two fresh chopped red bell peppers >four finely chopped jalapenos >Chili powder >garlic powder >oregano >cumin >red cayenne pepper >black pepper >salt >beef base
>let beans sit in water overnight, then boil the next morning and simmer for two hours or until they are soft then strain. >brown beef in frying pan while the beans are cooking, cook it with a healthy dose of chili power, garlic, pepper and cumin. >after the beef is cooked add it to the pot of beans, leave out the grease. >saute peppers, jalapenos and onions in the grease from the beef, add cumin and chili powder to saute them. add them to the pot when the onions caramelize. >finally put tomatoes and tomato paste in the frying pan, fill the rest with water add seasonings especially chili powder and cook until the tomato paste is mixed into the water. it should be a thinner consistence kind of like tomato soup. when it's mixed finally add that to the pot. You'll probably need a little more water for the pot and let it cook until it starts boiling. turn down the heat and when it cools off it's basically ready to eat.
don't leave it on high heat for an hour like I did...the water will evaporate and you'll be left with charcoal.
Asher Peterson
Bro Zucchini is the shit. I love frying it with some butter. How do you guys make it?
Isaac Lee
You’re right cooking is useful, but I’m not exactly in a position to do that right now. I’ve been taught something, at some point. But I’ll be sure to really learn later when I can.
Cooper Adams
What is that? If it came from a grocer as opposed to local farms or foraged you already lost the game. GMO crops, processed food, and factory farm produce were a mistake.
>gert areal family that cooks good food, drinks beer and wine and winecoolers and has a good fucking time, and has a milliondollar house on the beach
Absolute kek. >calls my mom >Yo bitch, where the fuck is your million dollar house on the beach you cunt? >hurry the fuck up and get one so I can come drink wine coolers on your patio, you skank! >You too, pops, this faggot on 4chinz said you ain't shit! Get it together, queer!
It depends on what your definition of cook is, most people only know how to make things they like or make things how they like them.
Jacob Fisher
I like cutting it in strips/circles and then grilling the it with pepper salt and garlic oil. I like it less in wet sauces, as it takes away the nice texture.
Alexander Howard
There are American that cannot cook Ramen without a microwave user pic related.
It's morel brainlette, and it's more related to the truffle than cancer. That's okay though it's comforting to know you'll be among the 1st to die when the shortages begin.
