crazy cloud posted:is super troopers as good a film as i remember or was i just an idiot before i turned into the idiot i am now it's a pretty funny movie not a cinematic masterpiece but nowadays the spoof/romp genre is universally lovely because even that low bar requires more creativity and risk taking than what is the norm nowadays, so something like Half Baked and Super Troopers basically instantly gets cult status because there's nothing else

Also proves theyre the exact kind of moron the movie was mocking

I'm cooking some chicken biryani today! I seared the chicken thighs in my cast-iron first then semi-caramelized some red, white, and yellow onions with some carrots and tomatoes thrown in (plus garlic and ginger, of course) I just added the rice and nestled the chicken into the pan to finish cooking. Hopefully nothing fucks up! update: nothing hosed up! It's delicious!

IRON CHEF ENTRY: Not-Very-Authentic Hawaiian Teriyaki Noodles INGREDIENTS:  (amount bought / portion used) 12oz Lite Spam 2.57 / 2 = 1.29 20oz soy sauce 4.22 / 8 = 0.53 6 cans pineapple juice: 2.68 / 3 = 0.89 brown sugar: whatever 2lbs carrots: 0.98 / 4 = 0.25 3lbs onion (8 in bag): 3.00 / 8 = 0.38 1lb angelhair pasta: 1.28 / 2 = 0.64 total = $3.98 THE DEETS: Start with the most time-consuming part: the teriyaki sauce. Add 5 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 cans of pineapple juice to a saucepan. Note the height on the liquid in the pan. Boil on high and add a tablespoon of brown sugar after it starts boiling. You won't see it thicken while the heat is on, which makes getting the right thickness tricky; turn off the heat when the height has reduced by about half. Next, throw some olive oil, onions and carrots into a larger pan and cook on medium heat. Heat up just a bit of oil in a cast-iron pan to medium heat to sear the Spam in. Start boiling a pot of water for the pasta, as well. Open up yer Spam and cut 1/3 of it off. Put that 1/3rd back in the fridge and slice the other 2/3rds into ~1/2 inch thick slices. Toss these on the cast iron for 2 minutes per side. After one minute, spoon some Teriyaki onto them and spread it around to each corner of the slice with your spoon. Whisper sweet nothings to your Spam as you do this. (My spam is a little under-seared because I was worried about burning it.)  Now your pot of water should be boiling. Add your pasta to the pot, and slice your Spam into small-ish cubes while the pasta cooks. Toss your Spam into the pan with your onions and carrots. After the pasta's been cooking for about 4-5 minutes, drain and add to the pan. Drizzle the remaining Teriyaki sauce on top of the pasta and stir.  Let the noodles cook for another 2-3 minutes and you're done!  The result: a savory, meaty, crispy, chewy dish that'll easily fill up two people for $4.And with lite spam, it's almost not devestatingly unhealthy!

Today we're eating chicken and rice, an exotic grain from the far east! It begins with chicken thighs, which are trimmed of excess fatty yuck and seared in the pan. Then you saute some chopped onion and bell pepper in there. Then 1.5 cups rice, saute a bit and add 3 cups of chicken stock and the saffron you steeped in white wine earlier. Put the chicken thighs back in and stick it in a 425 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.  Here's the BOM showing the price per head is still easily below that of a big mac.

Duscat posted:Today we're eating chicken and rice, an exotic grain from the far east! This looks excellent. Well done, sir. I also appreciate that everyone gets two thighs, one small thigh would leave many people a little wanting I would guess but if you'd wanted to kind of cheat you probably could have said that would feed 10. But Big Mac's are $2.50. It's nationwide and it is technically a limited time offer but has been going on for like 5 months straight. It does not require a coupon. Even if that were NOT the case, the regular price of a big mac is $3.99. The regular price of a Big Mac MEAL is $5.99 which it's fine if that's what people want to use, but let's practice a little intellectual honesty and make sure we say big mac meal and not just big mac.

I made my black fried rice the other day but I had company over so I didn't take any photos because "I need to make food cheaper than a big mac for a bunch of internet communists" is a bit of a weird line to drop. This is a picture of the same recipe, made by me a long time ago:  Ingredients for one portion: 125g chicken fillet strips 1dl black rice 1 mid-sized onion 2 cloves of garlic 2 mid-sized carrots Smallish piece of fresh ginger Couple of fresh chilis, depending on how hot you like it Small splash of fish sauce Generous splash of oyster sauce Bit of lime juice(about a quarter of a fresh lime's worth) Black pepper Jeera powder You can also add lemongrass or spring onions or whatever really. Main point is that black rice, chicken, carrots and oyster sauce is a really nice combo. Forgot to get a receipt but I'm pretty sure it comes to less than the local price for a big mac(€4,20) if you don't count the sauces. Those are about €3 each for a large bottle that will last you a long time.

HERE IT COMES MOTHERFUCKERS Too many of you are focusing on simplicity and modest quantities of high quality ingredients, so to contrast this I present to you: EHF'S HOBO BACHELOR BUFFET chef's note: the lentils and chicken i cooked in larger batches and portioned down for this recipe It is, essentially, one big meal with three sides. The first, is the lentils:  I cook it with a bit of oil and a halved habanero, which I remove when it's done. Gives the lentils a bit of spice. Into that goes the frozen veggies, in this case broccoli and peas, and 3/4 of the grilled onion. Mix it all up, and it's done, set it aside  Up next is what is colloquially referred to as "hot water cornbread." To make this I mix up 1.5 cups of cornmeal and a dash of salt+oil with boiling water until thick, and mix it up. Let it sit for awhile because the hot water does part of the cooking. I added the diced jalapenos and the remaining grilled onion. Mix it all up and spread it out on a pan, bake for ~40 minutes at 375. Near the end, add 2 oz of cheese:   The last part is the protein, in this case chicken thighs. Pretty simple, normally I'll slow cook them with salsa and shred in the container, but I was pressed for time so I pressure cooked them instead and shredded them in a mixing bowl:  But them all together aaaaaaaand:  THREE pounds of mothafuckin food, all home made and high quality. This actually ended up coming out to 4.22 instead of the 4.36 my big mac would cost, so I included 14 cents worth of grapes that I already had out and was snacking on while making my food. The expenses: 1.00 - 8oz chicken 0.43 - hot water cornmeal (1.5 cups) 0.10 - jalapeno and habanero and oil 0.32 - lentils (1 cup dry) 1.00 - frozen veggies (1 bag worth) 0.50 - small onion (pan seared) 0.32 - 4oz salsa (any old garbage brand is fine) 0.55 - 2oz cheese (shredded mexican storebrand) 0.14 - handful o' grapes TOTAL = $4.36 You can halve the cornmeal and end up with less food but more budget but I wanted the Hungry Man cadre to be represented. Alternately you can make cornbread hushpuppies by frying instead but I prefer flattening it out and baking. And for those who are curious:
